"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
"Mom, what did you do again?" Dexter looked at Raina again. "I didn't do anything. This little bitch broke into the house and hit me without any warning. Argh, my head! I'm so dizzy!" Raina whined. "You're still playing dumb! Aren't you the one who kidnapped my son? Rains Lorenzo, God is watching you! You're going to be punished for what you've done!" Barbara declared. "I didn't kidnap her son. Dexter, believe me, I really didn't kidnap her son!" Raina pleaded. "Stop acting. Last time, you had hired a hit man to take him away. You must have don't it again today. If anything happens to him, I will make sure you pay it with your life!" While they were fighting, Kinsey's phone rang. "You've found Eden? Okay. We will be back soon." Her face was written with surprise. Everyone heard Kinsey. Barbara's face was dumbfounded with joy. "Eden is really been found ?" "Yes, they found him. Apparently he fell into a ditch at the hospital" Kinsey grabbed Barbara's hand and headed for the door.
Raina had never thought that Barbara would come to her house and make such a huge fuss. However, the truth was thar Raina wasn't the one who kidnapped Barbara's child. Nonetheless, when Barbara barged into the house and started questioning her, she suddenly had an idea. At that time, Barbara was furious and convinced that Raina was the one who kidnapped Eden. All Raina needed to do was to provoke Barbara so she would do something irrational and I acceptable. Then Raina would be able to force Dexter to make a choice and get rid of Barbara once and for all. That was why Raina didn't even care to run away instead she even hit Barbara. Due to that, Barbara almost strangled Raina to death in a fit of anger. Since they had such a huge fight, needles to say, Raina would definitely not give in. However, all Dexter did was to demand Barbara to apologize. His protective action towards Barbara infuriated Raina. Therefore, Raina once again grabbed hold of Barbara, attempting to force Dexter
