Chapter 79
“Scu mbag! My luck was just turning and you have toe and spoil it?! Get lost! You’re such an
embarrassment!” Donald said angrily. Geneva couldn’t get up for a long time, and the people in the
casino didn’t seem surprised, they were just enjoying the drama.
Shaken, I quickly left with Ste.
Bailey was waiting for us in the car. Seeing my pale face, he asked with concern, “Madam, are you not
feeling well?”
I’m fine. Let’s go back to Rosemont,” I said, rubbing my neck. Ste also came over to check on me.
Frowning, she said, “Your neck is red all around. That woman was totally out of line!”
“What did she mean by her words?” I couldn’t help wondering, “Who has bought over Donald?”
“I have no idea. Donald is a gambler, he must be knee-deep in debt. Maybe someone paid off his debt
for him, on the condition that he brings his wife back,” Ste spected.
“But who could that person be?” I wondered aloud, “The detective I hired also found Donald before.
Back then, he didn’t seem to care about his wife’s affair. Now I think about it, maybe they were a couple
of swindlers. Geneva was tasked with luring rich men and then scamming them to pay off Donald’s
gambling debt. But she probably also wanted to use this opportunity to divorce Donald.”
After a few seconds of thought, Ste’s eyes widened, “Could it be… Neil? Didn’t you also see those
photos at his ce?”
My heart sk ipped a beat, I murmured, “Could the pictures havee from here?”
He must have gotten the negatives too! I know him well. He’s very thorough. If he paid for something,
he’d want to get the most out of it. What’s the point of having these copies if he doesn’t have the
negatives?
Once I sign the divorce papers, I can get the photos and negatives from him.
By the time we got back to Rosemont, it was already dark. Ste and I found a ce to eat. During the
meal, she cursed Neil eighteen times.
“After you get divorced, I’ll introduce you to some hot guys. There are so many men out there, why
should you stick with this jerk!” Steforted me, “I don’t believe that he and that Bonnie canst.
He’ll regret it in the future.”
I sighed. For a moment, I even had the impulse to tell Ste about my reincarnation.
But such a thing sounded ludicrous. And if this secret got to Neil, who knows what would happen.
“That’s no longer my concern,” I said, eating my dessert and suppressing my emotions, “But remember
what you said. When the timees, you have to introduce me to several handsome men.”
“I promise I will!” Ste smacked her chest.
After dinner, I asked Bailey to take Ste home first, then I went back to Sterling Estates. As soon as I
got home, an unknown number called me. When I picked up, I heard Gat’s voice, “Finally, I got
through. My previous number was blocked again.”
His helpless tone made me want tough.
“Ms. Finch, may I take you out for a meal?” Gat asked straightforwardly.
“I just had dinner,” I replied.
“Then let’s go to a movie,” he insisted.
I didn’t watch movies often, only asionally in college with Ste and others. The rest of the time, I
usually watched at home in my basement theater.
Even so, I had fantasized about going shopping, watching movies, and having candlelight dinners with
Neil. I fantasized for a whole ten years.
No matter how mundane the thing is, it bes different when you do it with the one you love.
Sadly, my fantasy has never been realized.
I hesitated, then agreed, “Okay. Which cinema?”
After getting the address, I asked Bailey to take me to the mall where the cinema was. The cinema was
on the fifth floor. Gat was already waiting for me there.
He was elegantly dressed, wearing sses, and holding two cups of hot chocte and a bucket of
popcorn. Seeing me, he smiled, “Ms. Finch, I’m over here!”
I walked over. He handed me a cup of hot chocte, “I didn’t know what drink you like. If you don’t like
this, I can get you something else.”
I shook my head, “No need. I like hot chocte”
Gat chose a romanticedy. I had no objections. As the movie started, we found our seats and
sat down. He whispered, “Drink it while it’s hot.”
“Okay, I took a sip of the hot chocte.
The movie was hrious and the plot was interesting. I thought I would fall asleep, but in the end, I
laughed until tears came out.
Because I set my phone to silent, I only saw Neil’s missed call after leaving the cinema.
I called back. He was on another call. I didn’t bother and just followed Gat out of the mall. He said
he would take me to have ate-night snack.
“I know a Korean BBQ ce nearby. Their BBQ is good, and so is their shochu. Can you drink?”
Gat asked as we walked.
“I can, but I can’t drink much, I didn’t want to lose control again after drinking.
The wind was strong outside the mall, but it was still lively. The BBQ ce that Gat talked about
was just across a small alley from the mall. We

braved the cold wind and headed there. He was always making conversation, and I responded.
He’s actually a great conversationalist, always able to find topics that interest me, and he always acts
like a gentleman.
After we arrived at the BBQ ce, we ate and drank while chatting happily. Gat was different from
Oscar. He’s more mature, so we had a lot inmon on some topics.
I don’t like men paying my bills, so after we finished eating, I excused myself to go to the restroom,
then went to the front desk to pay the bill. Gat noticed and immediately ran over, pulling out his
phone, “I’ll pay.”
I nced at his phone screen unintentionally and frowned inadvertently.
“Alright. Let me take you home,” Gat said after paying. His car was parked nearby.
“No need. I have a friend who’s also eating nearby. I’ve contacted him, he’sing to pick me upThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
soon,” I politely declined Gat.
“It’s no trouble,” Gat looked at me sincerely, “Ms. Finch, do you believe in love at first sight?”
I smiled and replied, “I believe, but I trust in the unpredictability of the human heart even more.”
Just now, when Gat was opening PayPal, I noticed a message popped up at the top of his phone
screen. It was from a Norman.
There are many people with the same name in this world, but I didn’t believe the “Norman” on Gat’s
phone would be a different person.
I remembered Barbara once told me, Norman thought it was me who caused their breakup. Barbara
warned me to be careful of his revenge.
I was careless. I thought if Norman wanted revenge, he would do it himself, but I didn’t expect him to
send someone else close to me. I was still not sure what his purpose was.
