Chapter 189


    Chapter 189 I Picked It Up


    Jennifer stood at the doorway of the living room, watching the ne fly further and further away. Her


    expression changed slightly. She took out her phone and dialed Hobson’s number, suppressing her


    frustration. “Buy the ne ticket another day. A small problem came up. After speaking, she hung up


    the phone.


    Just as she turned around, she noticed Stephanie standing behind her. Jennifer stopped in her tracks


    and saw that Stephanie was motionless as if she had something to say. “What’s wrong?” Jennifer


    asked.


    “Miss Fox,” Stephanie looked up at her and gathered her courage to speak. I think Mr. Fox and Madam


    Fox are a perfect match. The most important thing is that they love each other and have children


    together Why do you want to stop them from being together?”


    Jennifer furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t expect Stephanie to ask such a question.


    “Miss Fox, please let them be!” Stephanie could no longer stand it and quickly expressed her opinion. “I


    know Miss Keller is outstanding and a very kind person, but Mr. Fox doesn’t love her!”


    “You’re too young, and you’re still thinking immaturely like a little girl. Jennifer smiled and looked at her.


    her eyes filled with amusement. “In the adult world, there is no such thing as love. Love is only


    something that young girls believe in.”


    -Stephanie hesitated, not knowing how to argue with her.


    “Maybe love does exist,” Jennifer said, her thoughts drifting back to the distant past. Her expression


    became more serious. “But that’s something only in the time of youth before we enter the adult world.


    Stanley is already 38 years old. He has been adept in the business world for many years. If he didn’t


    prioritize his own interests, how could the Fox Group be so powerful?”


    Stephanie felt sad.


    “Did you know?” Jennifer stated with certainty. “In this world, only self-interest is evesting. The things


    Monica can provide to Stanley are more tangible and capable of upholding his position.”


    Stephanie didn’t understand. She just felt that it was a pity if marriage only had business interests and


    no love. That marriage would be like a prison.

    “What’s in your bag?” Stanley noticed this and asked with a smile. “Where are you nning to go?”


    Melinda smiled and tried to hide the truth. “They’re just some small items. I’m not going anywhere.”

    “Let me see.” He was curious and reached out, taking the bag from her. Then, he opened the bag as


    she tried to stop him.


    Inside were the teacups and keychain he had given her, along with a jade pendant which was half a


    piece.


    “Why are you carrying these?” Stanley wondered. “There’s no water in the cup.


    “I thought the sunlight in the yard was perfect, so I wanted to take some close-up shots of them.” She


    came up with a suitable reason with her quick thinking. “After all, they were gifts from you, so they are


    meaningful. Plus, I can share them on social media and brag about them.”


    Looking at her beautiful smile, he believed her.

    “What about this jade pendant that only has half a piece?” Putting the other two items back into the


    bag, he held the jade pendant in his hand, examining it closely. The jade is pure and delicate. It’s not


    shy at all. It’s intriguing. It really is an excellent piece of jade. Where’s the other half of it?”


    As he finished speaking, he looked up at her.


    Melinda’s smile was elegant and beautiful. Her face also exuded a gentle maternal glow. “I picked it up


    from the streets.” She reached out her hand toward him. “Can you give it back to me?”


    Picked it up from the streets?


    Stanley nced at the jade pendant, not fully believing her but also not asking further questions. He


    discreetly memorized the appearance of the pendant and returned it to her. The radiant sunlight


    streamed through the window, casting a soft, luminous glow over them. Melinda put away the jade


    pendant and hooked her arm around his, gently leaning on his shoulder. Stanley turned his gaze


    toward her, his fingers sping her hand.


    “Why are your hands so cold?” he asked.


    “Can you warm them up for me?”


    “Sure.”


    Her breath brushed against his ear. It was so close and clear. This scene was like a beautiful painting.


    he wished time could freeze.


    At Fox Group in Riverdale, Monica was enveloped in a restless state, feeling particrly uneasy.


    She felt that she waspletely done for! Since Jennifer cured Melinda. Monica missed the


    opportunity to be Mrs. Fox and upy that position.


    She couldn’t understand why Melinda miraculously recovered after she had added corrosive iodine to


    the medicine. It was something she couldn’tprehend. Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting her


    thoughts. Seeing the caller ID. she quicklyposed herself and gave a smile.
