“How’s your back?Do you still feel any pain?”Mrs Rosa asked after calming down a bit.Eugene frowned.”How do you know that my back was injured?”She quickly corrected herself on the thought of Leah’s request, “I saw it when I helped you change last night! I was shocked to see the huge bruise!”Thinking back to the heart–stopping moment from last night, he recalled the warmth from Leah’s body as she rested in his arms. He remembered holding onto her tiny waist. A strong and unexplainable desire to protect her arose in him.Swallowing hard, he felt the urge rising in him, but it didn’t take long before he collected himself.His expression hardened as he decided that Leah was not worth the sympathy because she had slapped and mocked him, even after he put aside his ego lo apologize.The family butler announced right then, “Mr. Moore,Mr. Cromwell is here to see you. He’s waiting in the living room.”Eugene pursed his lips. “Tell him to meet me in the study”Celia was elated by Brad’s unann

Tears and heartbreak were part and parcel of a relationship.Leah had shed enough tears for Eugene. It was time to put everything behind her.************The days flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was Grandpa Moore’s birthday. The Moore family accorded the old man’s birthday event with high importance.For the occasion. Ezra had splurged on a hundred–million–dollar mansion as a gift which became the venue for the celebration.The event attendees were notable figures in the City’s high society, ranging from business tycoons to Grandpa Moore’s old friends from the Painter’s Society–a couple of whom were locally famous artists.Jessica and Celia had started their preparation a week ago for the event. They busied themselves with dress selection, facial care, and manicure sessions. They showed up at the event looking like it was their big day, competing with the other ladies to grab the spotlight.Unfortunately, the exterior design of the mansion ran in contrast to their flamboyant dres

The hall immediately fell silent at the presence of Grandpa Moore.Sarah let out, “Jess,you’re soon-to-be his granddaughter-in-law.Go and give your grandpa a hand,”“Grandpa,let me.”Jessica smiled demurely and walked up to Grandpa Moore,wanting to take his hand and walk with him, but the old man casted a smile at Eugene and Leah instead.“Eugene, Leah Come over and walk with me.” Not only that, Grandpa Moore rolled his eyes at Ezra. “Get out of my way. I’m tired of you. I prefer the company of youngsters. Their spirit cheer me up.”Ezra smiled bitterly and let go of his dad.Jessica had stopped in her tracks, red in embarrassment, then debated if she should stay put or walk up.Forcing a smile, she silently cursed at Grandps Moore., “Old fool.Can’t you just die?Why are you still hanging around?”Leah glared at Eugene, who happened to look in her direction. She quickly looked away after they exchanged glances, leaving him with the view of her cold side profile.A little fazed, he purse

“You’re right Dad.” Ezra and Sarah could only agree with Grandpa Moore with apologetic smiles.“I’m so happy with this gift.Where’s Tessa? I want to give her a hug!” Grandpa Moore beamed.“Ms. Tessa says she won’t join us because she’s sick. She’ll meet you in person later,”The butler reported.“Okay then,put away the painting.Make sure to have it framed and hung in my bedroom so I can stare at it whenever I want.”The butler nodded and carefully put the painting away.Celia was wordless with anger when she observed Grandpa Moore’s interest and care for Tessa’s gift.Celia thought that Tessa, who never had much allowance, might humiliate herself by purchasing a miserly gift. To her dismay, Tessa decided to be creative by presenting a handmade gift.In the end, the vase that she splurged hundreds of thousands on was overshadowed by a shabby painting of Tessa’s!“Oh,Tessa,just wait and see. You’re dead meat!” Celia thought.On the other hand,Jessica was pacing the corridor. She had sent

Shock,rage, and disappointment flooded Eugene’s chest.He felt she had deceived to him all this time.She had made him think that there was nothing special about her when they were married.The birthday celebration continued into the night, laughter and chatter filling the venue. Halfway through, Leah decided to go to the washroom to powder up.As she went to the washroom, she recalled all the schemes and tricks Jessica and Sarah had tried to use against her. It was all so childish,she realized, scoffing at the thought. How foolish.She had already guessed how they planned to take her down, which was unfortunate for them. Of all the things those women should have considered when plotting against her, they failed to include the most important factor of them all–Grandpa Moore’s fatherly affection for her.Love and affection were something their schemes could never break through.It would have been inappropriate if she had only given Grandpa Moore the chair, as it undoubtedly belonged to
