After Barbara went out of the cafe, she received a call from Jeremy. He asked, "Where are you?" "I went to see Kinsey," She lied. "Why didn't you call me and say that? I came all the way here for nothing, " Jeremy complained. "Sorry, I left in a hurry, so I forgot," She apologized. Jeremy decided to let it pass. "I'm going back to the company. See you later." After hanging up, Barbara got on the taxi. It was rush hour, so there were a lot of cars on the road. Needless to say, she was caught in a traffic jam. Fortunately, her boss was Jeremy, so she wasn't afraid of being reprimanded for being late. Thinking of Jeremy, a sweet smile appeared on her face. A familiar voice rang out, "How long are we going to be stuck in the traffic?" Barbara turned her head and looked over. It was Marie. Marie used to be an attending doctor for her infertility. Hence Barbara had a lot of consultation and appointment with Marie. As she so often appeared in Marie's office, those who went to see Marie
Barbara didn't know how to answer to Joanne; she merely looked at the latter quietly. Seeing Barbara's indifferent expression, Joanna decided to cut to the chase. "You know about Jeremy and I, don't you?" "What's your relationship with him?" Barbara asked. "Don't feign ignorance. I don't believe you've never heard about the relationship between him and me. We're going to get engaged soon!" Hisser Joanne. "I thought you guys were not going to get engaged?" Barbara snorted. Joanne shook her head with a smile and said in a softer voice, "I know everything about you and him. Jeremy likes you. He used to like a lot of other women, but obviously you're different. He has fallen in love with you" "I know the ring on your hand was given to you by Jeremy. Since he gave that to you, it shows that his feelings for you are really genuine. In fact, if he didn't give you that ring, I wouldn't even think about coming here to meet you" Joanne continued. Joanne's gaze was not on Barbara's h
Barbara narrowed her eyes and looked at Joanne. "I will be frank with you, Miss White. Jeremy is handsome, talented, and rich, so he has captured the hearts of a lot of women. What I mean to say is, you're not the first woman to come and talk to me over this.""You!" Joanne didn't expect that Barbara would brazenly classify her as just another woman who was infatuated with Jeremy. Barbara was implying that she was Jeremy's sole lover. Upon hearing that, Joanne's expression changed. "I haven't seen you in so many years, but I see that you've gotten good at taking huh?""Compared to you, it's really nothing worth mentioning " Barbara sneered."Barbara, did you seduce Jeremy because you hated me for meddling in the business between you and Nathan?"Joanne continued on with her harshly questioning. "You couldn't accept that, could you? So when you heard that I liked Jeremy, you went in great lengths to seduce him. The purpose of all this is to break me, isn't it?"."You must be lunatic!"

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
