Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Although they found out that Jane was Wish's grandmother, Celeste and Megan chose not to bring it up again. They just regarded Jane's invitation as a polite gesture and didn't think much about it. However, Jane sent them the address separately on Saturday morning. "My son is home today, so he can cook for you," she texted. Megan sent a screenshot of the text to Celeste. "What should we do?" She sounded nervous. "What can we do? You know Winston anyway. Why are you so nervous about visiting his place?" Celeste replied nonchalantly. "But what if Mr. Belasco thinks that I schemed and helped his mother out just to get closer to him?" Celeste was speechless. "Don't you think you're being overly cautious?" She's a young and affluent girl in her twenties. Yet, she was worrying about a man who was twenty years older than her. Although Winston was undoubtedly outstanding and handsome, Megan was certainly deserving of him.Celeste felt sorry for Megan, but she had never oppose

On the other hand, Megan was sent to the kitchen by Jane to help Winston out. She hesitated at the door. "I… Your mom asked me to help you," she said softly as she stood at the kitchen door. Winston turned to look at her. He smiled in response. "Okay." Since she was meeting Winston's mother today, Megan wore a simple outfit. She put on a pair of pearl earrings, applied light makeup, and wore a modest, long-sleeved, collared dress that reached her calves. She paired it with black heels, making her appear elegant, albeit slightly conservative.She looked shy and obedient when she stood at the door. Megan was a lovely young lady who was just a few years older than Winston's own son. She was a little conservative, yet she did the wildest thing by mingling with an old man like him. She wasn't even looking for status or favors. Winston suddenly felt a pang of heartache. "I'll wash the vegetables," Megan said as she walked in, not daring to meet Winston's eyes. "Okay." Wins

Celeste and Megan arrived early, yet it wasn't until 1:00 pm that they finally had lunch. During the meal, Jane's eyes never left Celeste. Winston, on the other hand, kept looking at Megan. He attended to her needs, serving soup and ensuring her glass was always filled. Winston even went so far as to retrieve a napkin for Megan, draping it carefully over her lap when she voiced concerns about potential stains on her clothes.Megan blushed and thanked him in a small voice. Consequently, she ate with a quiet obedience, resembling a child well cared for.Celeste found it hard to believe that Winston harbored no feelings for Megan whatsoever.Jane couldn't help but smile, pleased with the attentive and considerate manner in which her son, Winston, was treating Megan. "You two should consider visiting more frequently. Wish is in his final year of boarding school, while Winston is often away. Living in such a big house, as an old lady, I'd feel rather lonely," Jane remarked with a

This was a sad story. Jane, heavily pregnant, discovered the truth about Winston's father, Malfoy Belasco, when someone approached her with a child in tow. For someone as prideful as Jane, the revelation of Malfoy's simultaneous relationships with two women was intolerable. Despite his extramarital affair, Malfoy clung to Jane, enticed by her beauty and support in his business. He resisted divorce for six months."You are not my firstborn. You have an older sister named Willow, three years older than you. Malfoy sent her away to relatives to control me. Later, they claimed she fell into the river and drowned." Jane's voice carried sorrow. "Willow was already gone when I had you. That's why I never told you about this." Winston hesitated for a long while before finally asking, "Are you suggesting Willow might still be alive?" "Malfoy could have easily lied about Willow's death to keep me from seeing her. Besides, he was under Mia Jenner's spell then. He would do anything fo

Upon hearing Celeste's words, Jane lapsed into silence. A palpable sadness draped over her, and she seemed immersed in contemplation for nearly five minutes. Eventually, she refrained from probing further about Celeste's mother, Sylvia. Celeste reasoned that it was only natural for Jane to empathize with a woman whose appearance resembled her own. Midway through the meal, Jane's phone rang. She received a video call on WhatsApp. She carefully set her cutlery aside, wiped her hands clean with a napkin, and retrieved her phone from her bag.Jane's countenance had been veiled in gloom for some time, but a radiant smile finally adorned her face as she warmly greeted the person on the other end of the call. "Lily.""Grandma, did you enjoy your meal today?" A gentle and warm female voice resonated from the phone. Celeste speculated that the person on the other end must be Lilian, Jane's god-granddaughter."I did. How was your day, Lily?" Jane inquired, revealing the affectionate dem
