Chapter 291 An Apology With an Ulterior Motive

Jethro studied my expression, his brow furrowing in confusion before he gently asked, "You seem distressed. Is everything okay?"Met with his concern, I was unsure of how to respond to his question. I debated whether to tell Jethro about the conversation I had with Doris. I didn’t want to burden him with worries."It’s nothing. Probably just the heat making me feel uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after some rest," I answered, attempting a smile to ease his worry.I hoped he would accept this light explanation, but he saw through it. "That doesn't convince me one bit. What’s really bothering you?"After much hesitation, I decided honesty was the best approach. I didn’t want any secrets between us that might cause misunderstandings. "Umm... Your mom came to see me today."Jethro's expression immediately turned somber, his demeanor shifting to one of concern. It was unclear if he was upset with her for interfering or with me for tattling. My heart raced with anxiety. He remained quiet fo

Chapter 292 Seeing Jethro as a Golden Goose

I had always longed for this kind of care from Mom, but now that she was actually expressing it, everything felt surreal. The more attentively she behaved, the more I sensed something amiss."Don't worry, Mom. I've just been really busy lately, which is why I haven't had time to come by..." Though partly true, I refrained from admitting that old resentments also played a role in my absence."I know what you’re thinking. I’m at fault for what happened last time. I didn't consider your feelings," Mom said regretfully with a lowered gaze.As I saw all this, I was in complete disbelief. Mom had never admitted her faults before. What changed today? Had the sun risen from the West? Why was she apologizing all of a sudden? My heart fluttered slightly, unable to comprehend this sudden change of attitude, but her apology did bring me some comfort."Let's just leave the past behind, Mom," I said, preferring to move beyond the painful memories."Okay, we won’t talk about the past then," Mom

Chapter 293 The Matter of the Dowry

Sean looked at me with surprise. "Thank you, Rina."This was the first time my brother had ever thanked me.The conversation then shifted, and Mom broached a delicate subject. "Rina, you and Jethro are about to get married. In our village, it's customary for the groom to present a dowry. Have you discussed this with Jethro?"I knew about the custom of dowries in rural marriages, but I didn’t want such traditional practices to dictate my relationship with Jethro. Our union was about love, not about financial transactions.I frowned slightly, not responding to Mom’s question. The truth was that I had never brought up the topic of dowry with Jethro and had no intention of asking him for one. Of course, Jethro could easily afford it, but asking for money from the groom felt like I was selling myself, and I despised feeling that way.Mom’s gaze intensified as she waited for my response. "Haven’t you talked to Jethro about this? You should know that this is a very important custom." Her

Chapter 294 The Unease

As Jethro and Anna left the restaurant together, I watched helplessly, struggling to grasp the scene unfolding before me. Anna’s apparent joy contrasted sharply with Jethro’s stoic demeanor. I just couldn't decipher his feelings.They both got into his car, which soon drove off, but not toward Verdantia where he and I lived. As his car disappeared, I ran after it for a few steps, but how could I possibly catch up with a car?I smiled bitterly. Had all my perceived happiness been an illusion? Was his love for me genuine?I slowly made my way home, haunted by the image of them together. Compelled by a need for answers, I stopped and called Jethro. It felt like the phone rang forever before he picked up. His voice, deep and sexy, conveyed no signs of anything amiss, and his calmness only deepened the chill in my heart."Where are you?" I asked, fighting to keep my voice even."I just finished dinner with a client. I’m on my way home now. If you’re tired, go to bed first. Don’t wait u

Chapter 295 I Didn’t Want to Worry You

"Why are you angry then?" Seeing me dismiss his guess, Jethro grew more puzzled. He had no idea that I had caught him having dinner with Anna.I looked into his eyes. My mouth opened to ask the burning questions in my mind, but the words wouldn't come out. I had no idea where my courage had gone."Serena, if you have something to say, just speak up." Jethro’s expression grew dark, visibly getting impatient."Who were you with tonight?"The words finally escaped me. I needed the truth, no matter the cost to our relationship. Though just an ordinary woman, I couldn't tolerate deceit in my life.Jethro paused, taken aback by my question. He didn't answer right away, and his expression grew colder. "Why are you suddenly asking me this? What do you know?" His response, laced with a hint of wariness, suggested he had guessed my suspicions."Just answer my question," I said, bypassing his question. I was waiting for him to tell me the truth, hoping for no secrets between us.Caught off

Chapter 296 We’ve Always Been Friends

A warmth surged through me as his fingers brushed my face. My heart quivered, and I looked at him through the mist in my eyes. I still couldn't help but feel scared."Is that really all that meeting was?" I asked.Once bitten, twice shy. I had been betrayed right before my wedding, and I was now terrified of a re-run.Jethro wasn’t the slightest bit angered, probably understanding the root of my anxiety. "You don't believe me?""Y-Yes, I believe you. But I'm also…scared."God, I hated how much I clung to him right now. If he left me one day, I’d crumble.Jethro hugged me tightly, saying, "I will never betray you, Serena. Never! Because you're the only woman I've ever loved!"That night, we slept in each other’s arms. I wondered if I had grown more reliant on him because I now understood him. The next morning, I woke up without Jethro by my side. I checked the time and realized it was nine. I had been sleeping more since becoming pregnant…I checked the date and recalled that

Chapter 297 You Ate My Steak

I might not have felt any romantic feelings for Mason, but it didn't discount the platonic feelings I had for him. I certainly didn’t want our friendship to die. As Mason smiled, I could tell my answer relieved him. He had always been very easy on the eyes, but a smile like that made him look even more handsome. I liked seeing him smile, but it ultimately didn't reach his eyes. The essence of our relationship had changed. We had become gingerly with each other. The elevator doors finally opened. I stepped out first, knowing that the crowd would dispel the awkwardness I felt around him. "Let's go," Mason said and tugged me toward the ultrasound room. "Wait, I haven't paid or taken my appointment number.” "You don't need any of that while I'm around."A nurse watched our interaction, wide-eyed, before regaining her composure and smiling.Mason let me go and ordered, "Please pen her in first.""Right away," the nurse replied and ushered me to a room. I was a little against

Chapter 298 I Slap Anna

That easy smile stopped me from complaining about him not telling me. Honestly? I didn't feel too bad if my little folly made him happy. I even began to wolf down the steak he cut up for me.The air between us relaxed. Halfway through the meal, I noticed Mason frowning. He was looking at something behind me. I turned questioningly.My appetite instantly disappeared at the sight of Anna.I didn't want to fight her. I had won, hadn’t I? Jethro chose me. Nothing this bitch pulled could change that fact now, so why give her any time of my day?"Serena! I can't believe I'm seeing you here. Having lunch with Mason too," she intoned, barely suppressing the hatred in her eyes. "It’s none of your business who I dine with, Anna. Move along," I retorted. I didn't want to argue with her in public, especially not in front of Mason. Anna turned to him instead. "I heard you were previously vying for Serena’s heart, Mason. I heard you two are pretty close. Is that true? Way too smart to fall

Chapter 299 You’re in Need of a Lesson

"Why are you so protective of her, Mason? Is it because she fucked you before or what?!" Anna snarled, her rage so ridiculously blazing that she even managed to keep up with her umbrage against me.Maybe I should’ve slapped her even harder. The Lord knew that this bitch needed more than one lesson."Watch your mouth, Anna! I've been controlling myself since you showed up, so you better not make me snap!" I returned fire. "You make it sound as if I've done something wrong. But no! You're just using bluster to cover up your guilt because I found you trying to get into Mason's pants! You two have screwed each other before, haven’t you?!" she retorted smugly as if she had found something to her advantage. "I said stop challenging me, Anna! You have no idea how close you are to being slapped again!" "How close am I? You're nothing without these men you spread your legs for. You're nothing compared to me. I just wish I knew what black magic you used to fool these two into becoming yo

Chapter 300 Wedding Ring

Mason sped down the road, never speaking the entire time. I was alarmed by this restless silence. It hurt to see him like this, and yet I didn't know what to say to comfort him. What Anna said had been the truth. And the baby, well, Jethro was the father."Mason?" I finally said softly."You don't have to explain anything," he replied immediately as though he had already guessed what was on my mind. "That bitch was lying through her teeth, I know. You're not the slut she makes you out to be."I sighed, hanging my head. I didn’t know what to say in reply.Mason pulled up by the roadside. "Rina, I know you love Jett, but I just wish you’d give me a chance. If you're unhappy with him—if you ever wanted a fresh start with someone else—can the first person in your mind be me?" he asked.The sincerity in his words made me feel even worse. Mason did so much for me, and yet all I gave him was heaps and heaps of anguish in return.I didn't want to answer him. I didn't want him to hold ont
