Donna understood the double entendre, but she pretended not to know, while Jenna caught the


    meaning and felt as if a boulder were crushing down on her chest.


    “Okay. You don’t need to serve me. I’ll do it myself. Josephine lowered her eyes in embarrassment.


    Once lunch was over, Donna took Jenna by the hand and said, “Go for a walk with me, Jenna!”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Jenna smiled and said, “Let’s get Eeth toe with us!” “He still has work to do, so let’s not bother


    him. You can apany me. There’s a church nearby that I’d like to see. Let’s head over there.”


    Jenna was sorely disappointed that Ethan. wouldn’t being with them, but since Donna had


    extended a warm invitation to her, she couldn’t refuse. She had to force herself to perk up and do


    something she didn’t want to do.


    Josephine was still staring in a daze as Donna left. Ethan put his arm around her waist and sighed in


    relief. “Well, we survived my mom’s trial.” Josephine blinked. “It’s over? Just like that?”


    “Yeah. My mom likes you.” She did sense care and kindness from Donna. She hoped Donna would


    recognize Jenna’s true nature and stop believing her words.


    Donna and Jenna arrived at the church. Donna sat down on one of the pews and closed her eyes in


    prayer. On the other hand, Jenna was bored out of her mind. She eyed her surroundings listlessly and


    scorned the aged. look of the ce. When Donna opened her eyes again, she saw Jenna’s


    restlessness and said, “Let’s walk around, Jenna.”


    Jenna quickly took Donna’s arm, and the two walked around the grounds for a bit. Atst, Donna sat


    down on a bench and began to study Jenna so closely that thetter started feeling uneasy. “Why are


    you staring at me, Mrs. Quarles?”


    Jenna had to ask. “You’re a good girl, Jenna. I hope you don’t stray off the right path.” Jenna couldn’t


    quite understand what Donna was saying. “Before I came here, you told me a lot about Josephine,”


    Donna continued. “You said she was a materialistic, money-worshiping woman who’s rude and spoiled,


    but I didn’t see. any of that from her.”


    “Mrs. Quarles, you mustn’t be fooled by her act! It’s only natural that she acts like a Goody Two- shoes


    in front of you,” Jenna swiftly cautioned, her eyes filled with concern.


    “Jenna, I know about your feelings for Ethan, but matters of the heart can’t be forced. If Ethan truly


    finds the person he loves, I will give him my support.”


    Hearing this, Jenna realized that Donna had seen right through her lies. She turned scarlet as she


    stammered, “M-Mrs. Quarles… I-I really like Eeth so much.”


    “I know, but rtionships need to be a two-way street. Perhaps, Ethan only sees you as a younger


    sister. You’ll find someone better, Jenna,” Donna advised.


    Jenna teared up. She immediately tried to convince Donna otherwise. “No, Mrs. Quarles. Please just


    give me a bit more time. I’m certain Eeth will fall in love with me.”


    “Jenna, you’re an attractive girl from a good family. It’ll be easy for you to find a man who’s even better


    than Ethan, Donna consoled. Jenna’s eyes shed with resentment. What did Josephine do?! How did


    she get Mrs. Quarles to ept her so easily?! I won’t allow this! I refuse to lose to Josephine just like


    that! Ethan’s a responsible man. If he ends up in bed with me, will he take responsibility for it just like


    he did with Josephine?


    “I understand, Mrs. Quarles. I wish Eeth and Josephine the best, too. I was wrong for what I did, but it


    was only because I loved Eeth. But I’m mature enough to know when I should let go. I won’t try to


    disrupt their rtionship anymore,” Jenna said with a look of shame and remorse. She had to maintain


    her facade of being a decent and sensible woman as she didn’t want Donna to shun her.


    “That’s good. I’m d you’re able to see things this way. I’m worried about your future, you know! After


    all, I’ve known you since you were a little girl and watched you grow up.” Donna was genuinely d


    Jenna was able to be mature about the situation.


    As Donna got to her feet, Jenna’s eyes shed with discontent and malice. Who said I’m giving up?As


    long as Ethan isn’t married, I still have a chance. There’s no way I’d lose to Josephine.
