Chapter 150

Penulis: DuckDuckJoe
"Being blinded by love is a terrifying thing." As they got into the car, Emma couldn't help but express her thoughts.

She considered herself to have been love-struck in the past. But it wasn't to Maddie's extent.

Giselle nodded in agreement. However, neither had the right to criticize Maddie, especially not Giselle.

Giselle had done far more foolish things than Maddie ever did when she was dating Jonathan. Her love-struck mindset, combined with her pushover personality, had made her an utter fool.

That said, Jonathan was different. His appearance and abilities were flawless.

But Cody? He was just living off of others. Dating a 21-year-old at the age of 30? That meant he was rejected by his peers.

Maddie was too innocent and easily deceived.

Emma drove Giselle home. Throughout the ride, Giselle was focused on replying to messages.

Emma had calmed down by then. While waiting at a red light, she teased, "Giselle, are you chatting with Chester?"

It was a casual guess, but

    The same could be said for all people in love.Giselle didn't respond.Emma continued, "Does your heart race when Chester touches you?"Giselle countered, "And what about when other men touch you? Does your heart race?""If it's someone I like, of course it races! But if you're talking about some random guy, they'd never even get the chance to make physical contact with me." Emma was adamant.She was the kind of person who knew exactly who she liked and who she didn't. It wouldn't bother her if she accidentally touched someone she didn't like. Instead, she would remain calm as if nothing happened.Giselle chose to stay silent. She couldn't possibly admit that she felt butterflies in her stomach whenever Chester touched her. It was too embarrassing, so she couldn't say that aloud.She decided it was best to keep it to herself.Giselle tried to change the topic, but Emma wasn't having any of it. The latter continued to dig into the matter.When the car stopped outside Giselle's

    The steady sound of footsteps behind her drew closer, and a dark shadow loomed over her.The moment the sound stopped, Giselle spun around and threw the person over her shoulder.A muffled groan escaped the man's lips. The motion-sensor light flickered off, then back on. Giselle was shocked to see who was lying on the floor. "Mr. Fordham?"She had planned to call the police. But who would have guessed that the intruder she thought was a criminal… would be Chester? Chester hadn't expected to experience an over-the-shoulder throw. He had to admit Giselle had incredible strength. And judging by the speed and the force behind the throw, an average man wouldn't have had time to react. Giselle quickly helped him up and apologized. "Mr. Fordham, I didn't know it was you..." She wouldn't have acted this way if she had known it was Chester."No need to apologize. Being vigilant is a good thing. It's my fault for scaring you." Chester was calm as always. His eyes landed on Gisell

    "I have some pain relief balm that could help with the pain, Mr. Fordham. Lie down. I'll help you apply it," Giselle offered.Chester wasn't surprised by the offer. He made a show of declining before finally agreeing reluctantly. Chester removed his jacket, leaving only a black shirt. His phone kept chiming with notifications, but he silenced it without a second thought. Whoever it was couldn't possibly be more important than this. He draped his jacket over the couch. Just as he sat down, Giselle returned with the pain relief balm that looked used."Mr. Fordham, this might be presumptuous, but you'll need to take your shirt off." Giselle tried her best to appear calm, convincing herself that it was her responsibility to apply the balm since she was the one who hurt him. Besides, they were both adults. With that thought in mind, Giselle calmed down."Alright." Chester nodded. He didn't hesitate and began unbuttoning his shirt right in front of Giselle. His fingers were lon

    Outside the door, Emma was texting Giselle. Just as she hit send, the door opened. "Gigi—" She stopped when she saw Chester."Sorry, I got the wrong house," Emma blurted out. She stumbled back and looked up at the door number only to see she was at the right place.But… why was Chester the one opening the door?Emma held back a screech, then started yelling for Giselle at the top of her lungs. Chester frowned. "Stop shouting. She's in the bathroom." Emma stopped. Why was Giselle in the bathroom? A sudden sense of vigilance crept over her and she eyed Chester suspiciously. His clothes looked disheveled as if he had just thrown them on in a hurry. Besides, he mentioned Giselle was in the bathroom. Could it be what Emma was thinking? If so, then Giselle not replying to her messages made a lot of sense. "I just came to grab something from her..." Emma mumbled awkwardly. Chester had an intimidating presence, after all.Chester stepped aside. "Come in and wait for her."

    "What do you mean? It's late at night. A man and a woman alone in a room… it would be a waste of an opportunity if nothing happened." Emma huffed. Giselle sighed. "Nothing happened. But if you're not convinced, I guess I did hit him. Does that count?" Giselle hit Chester? "Wait a second." Emma couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Giselle with a complicated expression. "Gigi, I didn't know you were into that kind of thing..." "I mean I physically hit him," Giselle clarified and recounted the incident. Emma clicked her tongue. "Gigi, you're good at resisting temptation! Chester made it so obvious, and you still managed to stay composed. Are you secretly a nun?" If it were Emma, she would have taken advantage of the situation. Giselle let out another sigh. "Is that the takeaway here?" Shouldn't the focus be on the fact that she hit Chester? Emma didn't argue further and changed the topic. "Gigi, can I ask you one last question? Please, I'm begging you to satisfy m

    The pounding on the door caused the nightlight by the bed to tremble.Giselle was startled awake. She sat up and turned on the light in annoyance before walking to the door. She could see a man outside through the peephole.He was leaning against the door, his fist pounding on it relentlessly.Giselle couldn't tell who it was, so she called for security. While waiting for them to arrive, the man continued pounding on the door. The strength of his knocks went from weak to strong, then back to weak again. Giselle couldn't help but admire his persistence. Five minutes later, the management and security guards arrived. They tried to restrain the man but hadn't managed to touch him before he threw a punch, knocking one of them back. Chaos ensured. Two burly security guards were no match for one drunken man. Giselle was speechless as she watched the scene unfold from inside her house. After some thought, she decided to step in. Amidst a chorus of groans, Giselle opene

    People usually couldn't get over their first loves.When Larry was pursuing Emma, he clung to her tirelessly and won her over with his persistence. He once promised her she would never regret choosing him and even declared that she was the only one for him. But that wasn't the truth. As they spent more days together, his feelings eventually died. The allure of other women outside their relationship began to tempt him. However, he lacked the courage to pursue anything. It wasn't until Charlotte gave him some advice that he changed his mind.It wasn't that he didn't love Emma anymore. He simply realized that he needed some excitement in his life.

    The last time Giselle had felt this way was during her first love.Back then, she and Jonathan couldn't get enough of each other and spent every moment they could together. They always checked in with one another before doing something.But their conversations quickly turned one-sided. The chat was filled with her updates and messages, while Jonathan replied to only the last message or none at all. He would divert the topic too.She tried to communicate and fix things, but it proved useless. Jonathan no longer cared about her feelings. Whenever conflicts arose, his go-to strategy was to give her the cold shoulder, certain that she would eventually cave in and apologize.In their seven years of dating, Giselle had spent about six and a half of those feeling neglected and wronged.Looking back now, she realized how foolish she had been. She had wasted so much time on someone who wasn't worth it.Snapping herself out of her thoughts, Giselle set aside her emotions and didn'

    She was after his body. Giselle was going after Chester for his body.Jonathan completely lost all of his sanity when he heard those words, delivering another blow to the board.He could not be bothered about the excruciating pain coming from his knuckles. Through gritted teeth, he demanded answers from Giselle."You've slept with Chester?"Before Giselle could even respond, Harry, who had just returned from retrieving his phone, ran over at full speed.Without any explanation whatsoever, he punched Jonathan in the face."Now that I'm here, don't even think about hurting Giselle!"As someone young, tall, and one who worked out daily, Harry's one punch broke the skin on the corner of Jonathan's mouth.The piercing pain made Jonathan give up all his reasoning.Immediately, the two men broke into a fight.Vivian scrambled to get up from the floor, looking miserable. She wanted to pull them apart but was afraid she might get injured in the process.As such, she just glared at Gi

    When they were at the hospital the other day, Chester made Vivian feel awfully stressed. This uncle of hers was way too overprotective of Giselle.If Jonathan were to lay a finger on Giselle, Chester would definitely hunt him down. And when that time came, the fact that she twisted the truth would be revealed.Vivian gritted her teeth. The fear she felt outweighed her reasoning. Without a second thought, she rushed over."Jon, stop!"Vivian held onto Jonathan's arm. The blood vessels in his knuckles popped as he squeezed every word out with restraint. "Let go."This was the first time that Vivian had ever seen Jonathan like this. She clenched down on her molars and cried out, "No!"The siblings' double act was absolutely comedic in Giselle's eyes. She rubbed her wrist which had turned red from Jonathan's grip. Then, she turned on her heels, wanting to leave.Jonathan jerked free from Vivian's grasp, stretching out his hands as he tried to grab onto Giselle once again.However,

    "Giselle, I need to ask you something."The two looked at each other. One had an indifferent expression while the other looked like they could barely tolerate this request.Giselle tried to free herself but her wrist remained firmly locked in his grip. The heat between them instinctively triggered a visceral sense of disgust in her.Her stomach churned violently, and her expression went dark. "Let go."Jonathan kept his stare on her with eyes that were deep and enigmatic. "If I don't—" Before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly gasped in pain.Giselle did not care if she hurt him. She had swiftly raised her knee and went for his groin. Even though Jonathan reacted in time, she was too fast for him to avoid the blow entirely.The anger in his eyes surged. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Giselle Stone!"This "new" Giselle felt extremely foreign to Jonathan.The Giselle he remembered was someone gentle and caring. There was never a time she would be this violent.

    The moment Giselle heard Jonathan call out her name in full, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Had he recovered his memories?Giselle scoffed. "Am I wrong? Mr. Kendrick is asking Harry to pretend that he has feelings for Vivian and to wait until the exams are over to talk about it. Isn't he asking the kid to lie?"Harry has made it crystal clear that he has no feelings for Vivian. A clear rejection is the best solution. You're afraid that Vivian's state of mind might be affected, but what about Harry's?"Every word was carefully chosen.Even though Greg did not explicitly say it, Giselle understood his underlying intention without misconstruing anything.Harry clapped his hands as sparkles danced around his eyes. "You got it! I don't like Vivian. I don't like her now and I certainly won't like her in the future!"Vivan was not his type to begin with. What's more, after learning about the things she had done to Giselle, the chances of him liking Vivian were even slimmer

    Jonathan's towering figure emerged in the doorway.Instead of his usual formal suit, he was dressed in a hoodie and cropped pants.To put it simply, he looked like a mannequin. His handsome face was as cold as ice, making him look unapproachable. As his eyes swept across the room, he suddenly paused when his gaze fell upon Giselle.The hand by his side instinctively clenched. It seemed like he did not expect to find Giselle here.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was reminded of the ignored text and what Vivian had told him.He pursed his lips for a moment, forcing the words back down. "Now that we have everyone's guardians here, let's talk about what happened earlier today."Greg Kendrick, the homeroom teacher, pushed his glasses up and cleared his throat before continuing, "I understand how kids your age are going through a phase where you yearn for the opposite gender, but this is the time to be focusing on your studies.

    Even Hector was startled by the absurdity of his own thoughts. He did not dare to venture further.Chester texted back, "Though you won't, I will."The five words almost made Hector's jaw drop to the floor. Did Chester just say he would be the Stones' matrilocal son-in-law?Hector was wondering if he had read the text wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and found that the text remained unchanged.He immediately replied, "Chet, are you serious?"Unfortunately, Chester had already gone offline and did not reply to his last text message.…The next day, Giselle met up with several more candidates who came in for the job interview.During the last round of interviews, she had her eye on a 22-year-old candidate who was a young woman with a rounded face. She wore rectangular-framed glasses with her dark hair tied back into a neat ponytail. She was a person of few words but did things quickly and efficiently. Her sparkling eyes looked full of vigor as well.These were the qualities Giselle

    The temperature kept rising within that confined space.Giselle stared back at Chester with her big, doe eyes. They sparkled in the night, and her red lips were slightly parted, looking every bit an mesmerizing enchantress.Chester, who was already deeply in love with Giselle, found himself unable to resist it.His long lashes drooped, casting shadows over his eyes.The hand by his side curled up in restraint. His dark pupils were bottomless as he looked at her, much like the deep sea.Chester's voice was hoarse as he forced out, "What question?""How are you so confident that I am the Stone family's child?"He was even more sure of it than she was.The paternity test report had also stated that she had no blood relation to the Stone family. But Chester remained adamant that she was.Chester responded eloquently, "I trust my intuition."Their eyes locked mid-air. Hidden tensions simmered.A brief moment later, Giselle flashed a faint smile and arched a brow as she asked, "Bu

    Based on Vivian's understanding of Jonathan, she knew he would definitely hunt that bastard down to fight him tooth and nail.But in this case, that "bastard" was none other than their uncle!If rumors were to spread about a nephew beating his uncle up, they would definitely become the joke of the town!Vivian's eyes were bloodshot. Her mind felt like a tangled mess, and she could not seem to straighten her thoughts out.Chester held Giselle's hand. Then, they walked past Vivian.Before leaving, he coldly said to her, "Wait here. I'll have someone come pick you up."If Vivian wasn't Jean's daughter, Chester would not even bother looking out for her.Vivian could only watch helplessly as the two left.Of all times, Jonathan chose this moment to send her a message."Vivi, you said that Gigi cheated. Is Uncle Chester the guy she cheated on me with?"The fact that he could ask this question meant that he had already asked around.What's more, everyone already knew about Chester

    How could she not panic?

She quickened her steps, wanting to slip out of the hospital, but Giselle happened to look up and see her.Their eyes instantly met.At that moment in time, it felt as if everything in the world had become quiet.Vivian tightened her grip on her bag strap. Suddenly, she flew into a rage out of humiliation, and her cheeks turned red, like a ripe apple.She glared fiercely at Giselle.Giselle, however, only felt perplexed.Sure enough, if she were to compare Vivian with Lindsay, the latter was more likeable.Giselle looked away in a bored manner, with no intention of talking to her.But Vivian felt offended instead.Following the twisted logic of "I can ignore your existence but you aren't allowed to do the same to me", she stomped over to Giselle angrily.As soon as
