“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
“Olivia, I already gave you a clear answer the last time we met. I’m not interested in understanding your evil scheme, and I’m certainly not interested in being a part of it. I don’t want to end up like Maddison Leighton.”“What if I had a way for you to change Elias’ mind?”“What could you possibly do?”Olivia shifted herself forward, lowered her voice, and asked, “Do you know how Jeanette managed to weasel her way into the Godfrey family?”“Elias mentioned this before. She fell in love wit
“Mr. Burnham, Mrs. Burnham.” She pulled an awkward smile as soon as she entered the ward.“It’s you, Jeanette. Long time no see. I’ve heard you’ve gotten married. Is that true?” Mrs. Burnham may have spoken courteously, but her overall bearing was a kind of politeness that seemed out of practice.“Yes,” Jeanette replied.“I’m surprised at how close you still are with our Elias, even though you’re married. Does your husband know?”Jeanette was instantly rendered speechless. The mixture of w
“Nonetheless, Jeanette, I’m sorry. My mom isn’t like this normally. I don’t know what’s gotten into her.”She smiled. “Of course she’s nice to you. You’re her son!”Seeing Jeanette showing signs of leaving, Elias suddenly reached out and grabbed her by her arm. “Wait. There’s something I want to tell you…”“Elias, I—”A new voice, forceful and even slightly mad, thundered. “Let her go!”Jeanette could feel the air brushing past her back. The next thing she knew was that her arm had slipped
