Before the breakup, Barbara did not feel anything unusual with Jeremy accompanying her everyday. But now, without Jeremy's company, she found thar her life had become so dreary.Everytime after dinner, she say in the living room, and checked her several times. Although she knew that there would be no phone calls or messages, she still looked forward to one.Thomas was playing games with Eden before he noticed Barbara's actions. He sighed and said. "Barbara it's still early, can we take Eden to somewhere nearby?""Sure!" Barbara got up and went downstairs with Eden and Thomas.The three of them took a stroll around the park. There was a night market not far from the residential area. It was always lively there in the evening.Eden saw tbe car and pointed in the direction of the market with his little finger. "Mommy can we go over there?""Sure!" Barbara nodded.Soon the three of them arrived at the market . It was packed, leaving them no room for movement. Some people were buying snack
Seeing Barbara's head wrapped with gauze and her pallid face, Steven was upset. After he had tended to several other patients, be went to Barbara's bed and reached out to hold her hand."Does it hurt?. Just let me know if you need my help. The government will do it's best to help you."Steven, a politician, went to the hospital to visit the wounded and naturally, he had managed to attract a large number of reporters. Seeing Steven holding Barbara's hand with concern, they all raised their cameras to take pictures.Seeing the reporters were taking photos, Barbara controlled the urge to push Stevens hand away. "Thank you, Mr Cook"Steven gave instructions to the hospital that they must do their best to treat the injured patients. Then he left the hospital surrounded by a group of officials.On the way back, Steven called Deborah. "Clean up the house immediately. Barbara may move back in a few days."Deborah was shocked but she didn't dare to ask more. All she did was to nod her head.Af
"You should meet up with him and see what he has to say. Remember to be more flexible and act according to circumstances. Now that your father is determined to let Barbara move back, we must handle the situation more tactfully. Hold Dexter back for a while, I must find a way to solve it." When Emily entered the cafe, Dexter had been waiting for her for a long time. She showed him an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. That's why I'm late" "It doesn't matter. I just arrived" Dexter's voice was gentle. Emily who had been with Dexter for three years knew that he hated waiting for others the most. He was unusually kind that day. Her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling about it. "What do you want to drink?" Dexter asked her gently. "Blue mountain or cappuccino?" Emily only liked to drink caffe mocha. Every time she met Dexter, she would order it. Yet Dexter was still unaware of her preferred drinks. Glumly she said, "mocha " Dexter ordered the co
After leaving the cafe, Emily went straight home and called for Deborah when she entered the door. "Mom, Dexter broke up with me. He is going to be with Barbara!" "He broke up with you for that bitch. He is really heartless!" Deborah scolded fiercely. Barbara was indeed fortunate. Compared to her, Deborah and Emily had done everything they could but none of their plans worked. It was indeed an unlucky turn of events for them. Deborah was infuriated. "This bitch is a jinx! Damn it!" Emily pulled a long face. "Mom, I don't want to break up with Dexter. Think of a solution. I don't want to live anymore if Barbara abd Dexter are remarried " "What are you panicking about? You're so useless!" Deborah glared at Emily. "You've already admitted a defeat before you even make a strike!" "What else can we do now?" "Let me think about it!." Deborah was flustered. She kept pacing back and forth in the room. After a while, her eyes lit up as a vicious idea flashed in her mind. Barbara leaned a
David didn't give Barbara the money in the end. Instead, he left the hospital with it. In the hospitals parking lot, Jeremy sat in the car with an anxious look on his face. When he saw David, he opened the door and asked, "How did it go?" "Since you're worried, why don't you go and have a look?" David was straightforward. "Then what did I hire you for?" Jeremy glared at him. He was a prideful person; he wouldn't visit a person who despised him. David answered, "Barbara is fine. She will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. She said she would come to work after she leaves the hospital" Jeremy replied with a smile on his face, "That's good" "This is the money you gave her. She won't accept it" David handed the money to Jeremy. Jeremy's face darkened at once, "Why doesn't she want it?" "I don't know. She just doesn't want to. She said that if i insists, she won't go to work." Jeremy knee how mulish Barbara could be. Jeremy was so irate that he cursed under his breath. T
"What do you even know?" Jeremy glared at him. To win a woman required strategies. Of Barbara could be bought over with money, Jeremy wouldn't have to worry to begin with. Thinking of those cruel words Barbara had said to him, Hus heart ached. "I'm so pathetic! She humiliated me, but I'm still concerned about her. How pathetic!" The room was silent after David left. Barbara lay on the bed alone, her heart racing inside her chest. She had never dreamed that Jeremy would come to help her. She had degraded him so manly. How could he have thought of helping me? I'd he not angry at all?" "Or did he move on?" She pondered. The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt. After a long time, the door was pushed open. This time, it was Dexter who came in with Eden in his arms. "Mom, I went to have dinner with Mr Dexter just now. The good is yummy and I have eaten a lot. Mr Dexter even bought meals for you and uncle Thomas" Eden's face was flushed with glee; he was notably happy. D
Raina had a huge shock when she heard that Dexter risked being hit by a car to save Barbara. He had already gotten hurt because of her the time before. Raina increasingly felt thar Barbara would only being bad luck. If this went on, Barbara would be the death of Dexter. She had to get Barbara out of San Francisco as soon as possible! Marie said that Barbara's house had been burned down and she had nowhere to stay. Furthermore, she had also lost her job. It seemed like it was the right time to add fuel to the fire. Raina would use this to negotiate with Barbara and persuade her to leave San Francisco.. Raina felt like now was her window of opportunity. She gave Barbara a phone call. "Mrs Lorenzo? What's it?" Barbara spoke in an aloof time. Hearing Raina's voice made her uneasy "Well, I just saw the news and found out what happened to your home. I sympathize with you" Raina said. Pugs were probably about to fly at Raina's call of concern. She should be the happiest person in earth
In the evening, Barbara told Kinsey, who came over for a visit everything thar Raina had said. Kinsey was equally exasperated. Why was that old witch insistent? "Barbara, I think you should accept her offer. Take the money she gives. You're not holding onto Dexter anyways. This money is what his family owes you, don't turn it down for nothing " Kinsey said. "I know but I didn't want to have anything to do with them. Not even a bit" Barbara replied. "You're just too stubborn!" Kinsey sighed. After staying in the hospital for another week, Barbara was no longer in pain. She was ready for discharge but the doctor thought otherwise. He claimed that the higher ups in the government had made a request to the hospital. He could only allow her to leave when her wounds were completely healed. Barbara knew thar this must be Steven's doing, she had no choice but to return her ward. Soon after, the door was pushed open and Dexter came in with a thermos flask. He asked, "Are you feeling better
