Chapter 154


    “Finished with the work on your/end?”


    and went abroad for three years.


    What could really be bothering Carlene? It was just that she had been forcibly separated fromn and


    felt a bit disgruntled about it.


    She thoughtn would actively seek her out or flood her with phone calls, butn was strangely calm


    about their rtionship.


    So Carlene was in an awkward spot. Selena might have an issue with her if she took the initiative to


    return.


    If she didn’te back, there would be no chance withn.


    In fact,n was trying to hold on to her back then, but not in the way she wanted. She hoped thatn


    would only love her, fight against the Raymond family for her and even elope with her to give her some


    satisfaction.


    The Shepard family wasn’t exactly loaded; they just had a bit of money.


    Carlene couldn’t ess the high–society circles, but she lived a wealthy life and was spoiled from


    childhood. After being withn, many people wanted to befriend her. Everyone thought she would


    marryn, and they’d have a lovely love story.


    Because of all this, Carlene overvalued herself, always thinkingn would apologize to her.


    So whenn tried to hold on to her, she didn’t ept it.


    She wantedn to dere his love for her in front of everyone.


    Bútn didn’t meet her expectations, so Carlene was always unsatisfied until he married.

    She was toote to stop him when she learned of his marriage, so she could only wait forn toe


    and coax her abroad.


    Butn left for three years, rarely contacted anyone, was busy withpany affairs, and didn’t see her


    again.


    Now Carlene finally realized she needed to go back, not to let their rtionship continue to be cold.


    Yes, she always thought she andn were in a cold war.


    They neither was willing to back down.


    Their problems were their own, not rted to anyone else.


    As for the suddenly appeared Mrs. Raymond, she was nothing.


    Carlene believed thatn loved her.


    She would take the initiative since he wasn’t willing to back down.


    n, I’ming back. Aren’t you happy?”


    “Of course.”


    Both of them fell silent.


    Carlene suddenly found that there seemed to be a gap between them over the years. They hadn’t seen


    each other.


    “So, are you going to pick me up?”


    “Yeah.”


    Hearing this affirmative answer, Carlene breathed a sigh of relief.


    Mayben was also upset about her refusal to reconcile; it seemed she needed to sweet–talk him.


    “When Ie back, I want to meet your wife.”


    “Why do you want to see her?”


    His tone was even colder than before.


    Hearing this, the corners of Carlene’s mouth lifted slightly. It seemed he not only didn’t like that woman,


    but he had even started


    to get annoyed with her.


    “She took my ce; I ought to see what she looks like;n, wait for me.”


    With that, she hung up the phone.


    Carlene’s cheeks turned slightly red, her mouth curled up, and her eyes were full of smiles.


    Herst sentence was tellingn that she still had deep feelings for him, always had, and she longed to


    take that ce.
