    “Oscar’s leg injury will definitely leave scars. The extrapensation is his due. You guys keep


    chatting, f’ve got stuff to deal with Saying this, I turned and left


    The honeymoon period for the young couple was running out, probably only half a month left. In half a


    month, Neil would make his move, and Bonnie would be his target Oscar would lose his chance to chat


    andugh with Bonnie so freely


    Thinking about it, Neil really pis sed me off.


    After leaving the hospital, I told Bailey to go back to Sterling Estates, the mansion where Neil and I


    lived


    I bought some supplements and they were there. I nned to take them home and use them daily, with


    my mom’s cooking skills, I could definitely gain some weight


    The supplements were still in the living room, untouched. I had no idea whether Neil came homest


    night or the result of his conversation with Fiona


    “Why didn’t you get off the car yesterday?” As I was about to leave with the supplements, Neil


    appeared at the top of the stairs. He was looking down at me with an unhappy look. Why was he still


    home? He usually came back every three months.


    Neil was dressed in pure ck homewear, simple to the extreme, but his face and figure made it


    extremely attractive.


    “I’ve never interfered with your rumored lovers before. Don’t want to start now,” I replied calmly.


    “Is that so? All of them lost their opportunities in the film and television industry one by one, negative


    news all over the ce, was that a coincidence? Nell looked at me expressionlessly.


    So, he knew what I did, but he never stopped me, because those women were just his ythings. But


    Bonnie was different. I just wanted to see her and have a chat, and Nell was like a raging lion, about to


    tear me to pieces.


    I admitted, “You gave them lots of money and resources, which are technically our shared property. I


    just took a little back in another way. That’s normal.”


    “Why didn’t you ask Fiona for it face to facest night? I gave her a set of apartments, half of which are


    yours.” Neil walked down the stairs and stood in front of me. Much taller than me, he was so


    intimidating.


    Had Neil gone mad? I frowned. Why was he talking about these boring things now? In a year at most,


    he would propose a divorce and n to give me arge amount of property. Why should I care about a


    set of apartments?


    “I’ve epted it, she’s not the first and won’t be thest. I can’t get rid of everyone.” I rushed to finish


    my sentence and left. I should have asked Bailey to get the supplements.


    As I walked out the door, I felt Neil’s icy gaze disappear. I put the bottles of pills in the back seat and


    told Bailey to leave.


    When I got home, I gave these bottles to the housemaid. My mom was cooking, which was one of her


    hobbies. My dad’s car was back. When he saw me at home, he handed me his phone, “What the hell is


    this?”


    When I saw the news, [“Hot actress” Fiona denied any romance with the president of Whitmore Co.


    after being seen entering a hotel together.]


    If these two really had any improper rtionship, it should not be called a romance, but an illicit


    rtionship.


    the phone back to my father andforted him, “Dad, these are all fake, you know Neil is a


    businessman, and sometimes he has to socialize.”


    My father arily said, “You’re still defending him!”


    I was not defending Neil, I just didn’t want my father’s health to be affected by his anger. I moved my


    arm and said, “Then you go teach him a lesson!” I rolled up my


    and daughter together, give him aplete change!”

    at first, but heughed when I joked. “You are always joking?” N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    I hugged my father’s arm and exined to him, “Dad, don’t be angry, think about how much Whitmore


    Co. has contributed to our city, and you’ll be happy.”


    My father changed his attitude, “You have a point, not long ago Neil donated new tracks to several


    schools. He is really caring for themunity and giving back to society.”


    I agreed


    him.


    As we were talking, my mom had prepared dinner, all my favorite dishes. Mothers were the best. The


    lunch was warm and cozy, but my dad had to go back to work, so I only had the afternoon with my


    mom.


    A few of my mom’s friends came over to y cards. Four women sat at a table, chatting and ying


    cards. Iy on the sofa and read the news about Neil and Fiona. Fiona exined that she and Neil


    were just friends. Because Neil was nning to invest in a drama for her to be the female lead, they


    met often, mainly to discuss filming. It seemed Neil had invested some capital again. He was indeed


    very generous in this respect, which was also the simplest and most effective way to keep a mistress.


    I fell asleep on the sofa unconsciously, until my friend Ste called me, I woke up. Looking at the time,


    it was probably time to go to the bar again.


    Ste shouted happily on the phone, “Come and drink, there are hot guys!”


    I asked, “How hot?”


    Ste exaggeratedly described, “Very hot, hurry over, Alicia is already here, Barbara is attending a


    performance in another city, so she can’te.”


    Ever since they found out I was divorcing Neil, my friends had been taking turns inviting me out, either


    for dinner, karaoke, or shopping, always keeping me busy. I knew they were afraid that I may have


    seemed calm on the surface, but was actually very hurt inside, so they wanted to distract me. I did


    need this kind of help, otherwise I couldn’t help thinking about the past.


    I said, “I’ll change and be right there.” I hung up the phone, Ste had already sent me the address.


    Half an hourter, I left the house full of energy, ready for the night life. Ste had been to almost every


    bar in the city. She knew where the good drinks and hot guys were. I had to admit, the guys Ste


    brought this time were very attractive, a bit like some celebrities.

    “Ugh!” I felt a little drunk and suddenly wanted to throw up.


    Man, it was a total bummer. Seeing a bunch of handsome dudes, I couldn’t help butpare them to


    Neil in my mind. I didn’t interact with anyone else, and just kept knocking back drinks.


    Neil, either in looks or persona, was a cut above the rest.


    “Excuse me, I need to hit thedies’ room,” I got up and headed towards the bathroom. One of the


    handsome guys quickly followed and reached out to steady me. I didn’t resist, relishing the gentle and


    considerate care.


    Once in the bathroom, I totally threw up. After rinsing my mouth and sshing some water on my face,


    I came out to find the handsome guy still waiting for me. He asked “Can we exchange numbers?”

    “What’s the point of exchanging numbers?” I feigned ignorance.


    “So we can stay in touch,” he answered straightforwardly, “And if you ever feel lonely, you can reach


    out to me anytime.”
