It was evening when Jeanette came home from work, and she realized Damon was changing in the room.He was decked in a suit every day when he went to work, and even his tie was at its tightest. Whenever he returned home, the first thing he would do was to change into his robe, but today, he changed to a new suit."Do you have a date tonight?" she asked."Yes.""Oh, with who?"After Damon tied his tie, he turned around and lightly brushed the bridge of her nose. "With this woman in front of me."She was stunned, but before she could react, he pushed her into the dressing room."Change into something nice. I’m taking you somewhere tonight.""Where to?"Before Jeanette could even comprehend what just happened, the door of the dressing room was forced shut.Something nice… She looked around the entire wardrobe and finally chose a little evening dress that looked exquisite but not overly grand. The color matched the tie that Damon put on earlier.When she walked out after getting
Olivia had said something indiscernible to Damon, who clearly didn’t have much patience.“If there's any explanation needed, I believe I’ve made myself perfectly clear. If you insist on continuing this harassment, it’ll only look bad on both of us.”“Damon, how could you do this? You’re the one who suggested putting on a show for our families, and you’re the one who stopped it too. But I ended up falling for you for real! How could you do this to me? How am I too inferior for the likes of you?
After a short exchange, her temper flared up again.“I was just afraid that you were dead, so I came to see if you were still alive. Who’d be concerned about you? Get lost!”Elias wasn’t sure if he should laugh or cry. “This is my ward. You’re the one who should get lost. Don’t you think you’re being a little unreasonable? The doctor still hasn’t cleared me to leave the bed.”“Fine, you want me to leave then? I’ll leave!”Mimi turned around and stormed off angrily. She even forgot her bag.
“Are you sure you don’t have feelings for him anymore? Then why are you so angry?”A woman’s clear voice suddenly rang aloud from behind her.Mimi turned around and realized that it was Olivia.“What are you doing here?”“I arrived a few minutes ago, long enough to see you storming out of the outpatient building.”Mimi was on her guard. “So I’m pissed. What’s it to you?”“Your anger has nothing to do with me, naturally. However, regardless, we have a common enemy, don’t we?” She smirked.
“Jeanette, hard work is not a virtue when it comes to stupidity.” Damon massaged his forehead.It may have been fun to watch her fussing around, but the thought of how the chicken wings still hadn’t materialized by sunset, when they were meant to be ready by lunch, made him feel a little hungry.“I really am quite good at cooking. That’s why I have to keep trying. Failure is the mother of success, after all.” She tried to cheer herself on.“Then these chicken wings of yours must have many mot
News of Jeanette’s pregnancy quickly reached the old Godfrey mansion.Christophe was so happy that he immediately invited them home for dinner.“You must be very careful from now on. Don’t be so careless like that last time. You must be very meticulous!” Christophe nagged Jeanette.Jeanette didn’t say anything else except nod her head. She had failed to keep the baby in her womb the last time. This time, everyone else had placed it on high priority and was on their toes.Regardless of how un
She couldn’t bear to think of it.Damon stroked her head and gently asked, “Have you always been prone to nonsensical thoughts?”He didn’t answer her. Instead, he casually skimmed the subject.She couldn’t be sure if he didn’t want to answer or if he simply never took her question seriously.At the hospital…Elias had been in the hospital since he was hurt. His wounds were gradually healing, day by day.He was in the ward, in the middle of a conversation with the nurse who took care of him
“Can’t you give me a chance? I’ll try to control my temper. Even if… Even if you can’t let go of her, can’t I just hold a place in your heart for now?”He looked her in the eye for a very long time and decided to be blunt with her. “Mimi, you’re a great girl. But you really shouldn’t get involved with the likes of me. I don’t want to drag you down.”“Heh. I knew you’d say that.” Mimi chuckled in a self-deprecating manner.When had she ever thrown her own pride away like that for someone else? But in the end, it didn't make a difference.“If you had met me first, instead of Jeanette, would things still be the same?”“Feelings are exactly what they are, feelings. You can’t differentiate what comes first or last. Look at that blasted idiot, Damon. He arrived much later than I did in meeting Jeanette, didn’t he? Yet Jeanette actually fell in love with him at first sight, of all things.”The next day, at the beauty salon…Many wives of prestigious families frequented this place. Sylv
