Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 481 - Bab 490

Jennifer was frustrated. She tossed her phone aside before she descended the stairs.Although it was only 8:00 am, Agnes was already awake, having finished breakfast an hour ago. At this moment, she was sitting on the couch, deep in thought.Seeing Jennifer come down, Agnes said disapprovingly, "There's been nothing but trouble ever since you came back. I don't understand. Since you're with Maxwell, why don't you stay at his place? Why do you keep coming back here every few days?" Jennifer was bewildered, "What did I do wrong this time?"After all, Agnes had always treated her this way. When she was needed, she was welcomed with a smile. But when she wasn't, she was treated like an enemy rather than a granddaughter.Agnes snorted. "Your father went out early this morning, troubled. He didn't even have breakfast. When you're not here, everything's fine. But as soon as you come back, your father gets upset. You're old enough now, can't you make things a little easier for us?"Jenn

But what was wrong with Maxwell? He only mentioned choosing the photos but didn't say anything about her coming back. How was Jennifer supposed to bring up the idea of coming home if he doesn't talk about it?Jennifer bit her lip and awkwardly said, "There are so many photos, I can't decide on my own. Shouldn't we discuss it together?"Maxwell immediately caught on and chirped happily, "Shall I come and get you?""Yes." Jennifer hummed.After Jennifer hung up, Zion felt a sense of relief.He reminded her, "Don't be so stubborn when you go back. If the time is right, consider remarrying him. I have a good eye for people. Maxwell is a good man. At least, he's genuine in his feelings for you."Soon, Maxwell arrived at the Yale residence.Zion didn't even invite them to stay for dinner and sent them off right away. He just hoped Jennifer would have fewer ties with the Yale family to avoid Simon's retaliation.…Jennifer was quiet on their way home.Maxwell held her cold hand and

"But… But…" Jennifer stammered, her mind blank. She knew her baby would be in danger if Maxwell forced himself on her.She was on the verge of tears.Seeing this, Maxwell's heart sank, his voice tinged with disappointment. "Do you find me that repulsive? Have you ever really considered starting over with me?"Jennifer was pushed into a corner and had nothing to say. She remained silent, avoiding his stern and sharp gaze.Maxwell finally let her go and nodded, giving a self-mocking smile. "I understand now. But if that's the case, why did we even bother taking wedding photos? You're wasting your feelings and mine!"With that, he grabbed his coat and stormed out. The moment he left, the room's air seemed to freeze.Despite her heartache, Jennifer didn't regret her decision. She knew she couldn't accept Maxwell's proposal to share him with Rachel.Since that was the case, it was better to be upfront about it. After all, Robert had passed, and Maxwell had fully taken over Lance Corp

Zion smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but there's no need for that!"With that, he left Lance Corporation.Maxwell watched his retreating figure, a bad feeling growing stronger within him. Was Zion's sudden visit and words just idle talk? He spoke of atonement, but how exactly did he plan to atone?Maxwell spent the entire day preoccupied with Zion's words, unable to focus on work.…Back at the hospital, Jennifer had been on leave for so long that there was now a new batch of patients in the ward.She stayed after work, reviewing each patient's condition and storing them in memory.Nathan was the department head and usually didn't need to stay late unless there was an emergency surgery. But tonight, seeing Jennifer diligently going through patient records, he didn't want to leave either. So, Nathan decided to stay and keep her company.Seeing Nathan printing consent forms for the next day's surgeries, Jennifer quickly said, "Mr. Lowe, that's my job. Why are you doing my wo

"We're visiting your father." Maxwell felt uneasy thinking about how Zion was acting that morning.But since Zion didn't want Jennifer to know about his dark past, Maxwell had no right to tell her. After all, this would only burden Jennifer with guilt and shatter her admiration for her father.To dispel Jennifer's doubts, Maxwell said, "Didn't you say your father wasn't well yesterday? Let's go visit him together today, so you can be at ease."Jennifer couldn't believe her ears. After all, Maxwell had always looked down on her family, especially Zion. So, she never expected Maxwell to suggest visiting her father.Maxwell seemed to realize what she was thinking. "What's so strange about that? You're my wife, and your father is my in-law. It's normal to care for him if he's feeling unwell."Jennifer was touched, and her heart warmed. She cautiously asked, "So… You're not angry about last night?"Last night, he stormed out in disappointment after she denied his advances. She thought
