Fern quickly finished preparing a few dishes. Three of them then sat down at the dining table. “Mommy, I haven’t eaten the dishes that you prepared ever since Uncle Asher started coming over to cook for us.” Rue still preferred the dishes her mother prepared. After all, she had grown up eating her mother’s dishes. “Does this mean that you’d like to eat the dishes that I prepare?” Fern asked with a smile. Rue nodded at once. “Yes!” After speaking, she looked at Eugene and asked, “Daddy, you haven’t eaten the dishes prepared by Mommy in a long time too, right? Do you like the dishes prepared by her?” Fern looked at Eugene instinctively. At the same time, he raised his head to meet her gaze. Somehow, her heart started racing. Before he could say anything, she said, “How could the dishes that I prepare compare to Sydney’s? Of course, he’d be more accustomed to the dishes she cooks.” Rue felt slightly disgruntled. She asked Eugene, “Daddy, do you prefer the dishes prepared
“What were you thinking about?” Eugene walked over to her side. “... It’s nothing.” She lowered her head and continued doing the dishes as a hint of nervousness flashed across her face. Of course, she could not let him know what was in her mind. Eugene stared at her side profile as a smirk formed on his lips. “I’m getting divorced.” Fern looked at him in confusion. “I know that.” Why did he have to repeat that once again? He fixed his dark gaze on her as his tall build slowly approached her. He inched his handsome face toward her and asked, “Isn’t there anything that you want to tell me?” She tilted her head back as her breathing grew slightly heavier. He was so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. She laughed dryly. “You can divorce her if you want to. What does it have to do with me? What do you want me to say?” She was not the one who had asked him to get a divorce. Eugene narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and questioned, “After I’m divorced, do
“Asher, don’t be like this…” Fern sighed and said, “I’m not your girlfriend. I lied to Eugene previously. I’ve already explained this to you before.” She had no reason to continue using this as an excuse to lie to Eugene. Asher’s pupils constricted as he stared at her in disbelief. “You…” Eugene smirked sarcastically and extended his long arm to pull Fern back to his side. He then looked at Asher and said, “Stop acting. She has spoken the truth.” He seemed to have known about everything this whole time. Asher looked at Eugene’s victorious stance. He found it hard to swallow down the unwillingness within him. He grabbed Fern’s other hand and tried to pull her to his side. “Fernie, you know that he’s a married man. Why do you still want to get involved with him?” Asher asked as he tried to suppress his anger. Before Fern could say anything, Eugene spoke up, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m getting divorced soon.” “You’re getting a divorce?” Asher looked at him
She turned around to look at him. When she met his deep and sharp gaze, she felt like she had become his prey. Asher laughed mockingly and said, “President Eugene, you’d better stop having one-sided feelings for her. Fernie has said that her feelings for you are all in the past, so she won’t get back together with you. You shouldn’t get a divorce as well.” Eugene glanced at him coldly and said in a lukewarm tone, “This is between me and her. Since when did an outsider like you have the right to interfere in our matters?” Asher was disgruntled by his rebuttal. He really felt like punching Eugene! Fern looked at the two arrogant men. She wanted to kick both of them out!…Sydney thought that Eugene brought up the topic of divorce with her because of a moment of rage. She did not expect him to be serious about it. Eugene got Wyatt to prepare a divorce agreement. He had not gone home in many days, but he returned home today just so that he could ask her to sign the agreemen
Rue’s emotions had calmed down a lot. Fern could resume working in the office. After sending Rue to school, she prepared to head to the office. However, two bodyguards clad in black stopped her after she turned around. “Miss Thompson, Old Master Newton would like to see you,” one of them told her. Fern was stunned. The old master had finally come to look for her. She wanted to see him as well. She wanted to ask him what his intentions were. Why was he holding a grudge against her? She did not reject their offer. She got into their car and followed them to the Newton household. The old master was seated on a chair in the garden of the Newton household. There was a pot of freshly-brewed tea on the marble table beside him. When the bodyguards brought Fern in, the old master was sipping on his cup of tea. “Old Master, Miss Thompson is here,” Fiona told him. Quinn did not turn around to look at Fern. He simply replied, “Alright.” Fiona understood his intentions.
She suddenly burst out into laughter. “Why are you laughing?” The old master stared at her coldly. She shook her head and said, “You’re already at such an elderly age. Why can't you do some good deeds for yourself? Are you going to kill me just like that?” “It seems that you don’t believe me.” The old master narrowed his eyes as a dangerous glint flashed across his gaze. “I can make you disappear right now.” His low voice sounded ghostly and terrifying.Fern’s heart lurched. She was about to say something when a man’s voice rang out. “I’m here. I won’t let her disappear.” She turned around and caught sight of Eugene, who was walking toward them in large strides. How did he know that she had been brought here? The old master’s expression turned icier after seeing him. Eugene walked over and pulled Fern over. He hid her behind him in a protective stance. He looked at the old man with a frigid expression on his face. “Grandfather, aren’t you crossing the line here
Fern felt her hand becoming warm as he continued holding it. She remembered that he had yet to divorce Sydney, so it was inappropriate for him to be doing this to her.She forcefully withdrew her hand. Lowering her eyes, she refused to look at him. “Are you really going to get a divorce?” she asked softly. He had mentioned that he would be getting a divorce in front of the old master just now. She still could not understand why he wanted to get a divorce. Eugene fixed his dark and heated gaze on her as he nodded. “Yes, I don’t want to miss out on you once again.” She stopped breathing and turned around to stare at him. Her heart sped up uncontrollably once more. “W-Why?” Why her?He met her gaze. His eyes were focused on her and full of love. “That’s because a part of me can’t forget about you,” he said as he pointed to his own heart. She looked at where he was pointing at and kept quiet. She did not know how she was feeling right now. “Does that mean that you still
It was all because of Fern Thompson… After she returned, she took away everything that rightfully belonged to her. She snatched her husband away and took away the happiness in her life! ‘Fern Thompson, you really deserve to die!’ Sydney crumpled the summon in her fist tightly. Her gaze was filled with deep hatred. ...Eugene got off work on time these two days. He would immediately head to Fern’s house with the excuse that he wanted to accompany his daughter for dinner. Fern had no reason to ask him to leave.Asher got off work on time today as well and headed to Fern’s house. He did not come empty-handed. He had bought some groceries and wanted to go over to prepare dinner for Fern and Rue. “Excuse me, but I’ve already brought some groceries over. Rue wants to have braised fish, and I want to have braised eggplants. Fernie is preparing the dishes now,” Eugene told Asher after glancing at him. Asher did not know that Fern knew how to cook and her cooking skills wer
