Chapter 210
210 Setting the table for mummy
Collective gasps escaped their lips and they widened their eyes in disbelief. A momentter, Toria
collected herself and thought. ‘It must be Rex’s card! Not only her. Her friends also believed it was
Rex’s card, so their jumpy hearts calmed a little. 1
Toria paid for her things and left with her friends who wouldn’t stop bugging her.
“Toria, it’s high time you set things on another level with Young Master Rex! Thatdy is doing way
more than anydy has done. Imagine, Rex gave her his unlimited ck card! What the f*ck does that
mean?!” One of them said when they got into the car.
“Toria, I agree. Don’t be a pushover and silently watch Rex throw your goodwill away. I mean, you are
kind and have been patient with him even though he has broken your heart times without number.” She
sighed. “Stop behaving like a good wife and speak up!” The otherdy added.

Toria massaged her temple. “You two,” she hesitated, then sighed and continued. “Since when have
you started getting jealous over other people’s things?” She turned to look at them. “So what if she has
Rex’s ck card? Haven’t I been given more than enough?” She signed again and turned her face to
look outside the window. A few momentster, she continued with her eyes still looking outside. “Count
your blessings and not what you can’t control.”
Toria loves Rex so much that she was ready to hide her feelings for him for years. The day she started
to love him was the day she had a traumatizing breakup with her ex–boyfriend and went to a bar.
As she was drinking, someone approached her and wanted her for the night. She bluntly refused but it
didn’t sit well with the person, so he called his minions to take her away. As she was being dragged
away, Rex got involved and rescued her.
She’s an orphan who had her inheritance stolen by her rtives and was left with just a little tost her
for a few days. She had already gone for auditions at different agencies before her parents passed
away, however, she was rejected due to her rtives getting involved.
Rex found her a second time when she went to a bar again to drink away her sorrow. She was thest
person in the bar and was really drunk. The bar men were lost on what to do, so when Rex came down
from the floor he was on and saw her again, he took her to a hotel and booked a room for her. In her
drunken state, she almost ruined their reputation, but Rex being a good guy, took her to the bathroom
and left her under the shower to sober up instead of taking advantage of her.
Even though she almost crossed the line with Rex, he didn’t leave her alone after that, he approached
her a few times and they started dating. She had thought he wanted to ask for her body like he usually
did to girls he fancies. (They thought he sleeps with girls) but instead, he gave her the fame and the
riches she needed. They only dated for a month and some days before he stoppeding. That was
three years ago.
She couldn’t say they dated for three years because he only stayed with her, made her feel like they
were dating for a month and 5 days before they became strangers. When she called him, he asked her
to stop calling him but didn’t withdraw the privilege of presenting herself as his girlfriend in public, nor
did he stop funding her ount.
To this day, Toria couldn’t wrap her head around why he was still being kind to her when they’d
indirectly broken up three years ago.
Even though she feels that they aren’t dating anymore, her best friends refuse to believe it. They kept
insisting that she was still in a rtionship with Rex, provided he hadn’t said the break–up line.
Although she could also be med for her friends‘ illusion because she didn’t tell them the whole thing
that transpired between her and Rex, which was why her friends keep making these things up in
their minds.
Jeslyn entered the house to see Valen by the entrance, probably waiting for her.
“Child,” she called but he turned his face away and pressed the button on his wheelchair, and started to
move to the dining room.
“Are you mad at me, honey?” Jeslyn asked as she followed him but he didn’t respond.
She smiled and got in front of the moving wheelchair. She thought he would stop it but instead, he
turned to the side, avoiding her.
“Little Valen, mummy is sorry foringte. I know I promised you three hours. However, there was
so much good stuff that I lost the knowledge of time.”
Hearing that, Valen’s face turned unsightly. He was mad at her for breaking her promise and instead of
apologizing, she was telling him that ‘good stuff‘ was more important than him. Bad parenting! He
screamed in his mind. 2
“I’m very certain you’ll like the good stuff. They are prettier than the ones we bought in Rose City.”
Jeslyn smiled.
Valen turned his head to the side to take a proper look at her. She was all smiles. ‘Why is she smiling
and saying he would like the good stuff she bought for herself? Do I look like her husband who would
admire everything she wears?‘ he scoffed. 1
“There are beach wears too. They’ll look good on you. That I promise.”
Valen whipped his head up suddenly. “You got some for me?”
Jeslyn paused for a moment. “Of course, I bought things for you! How could I go shopping and not buy
things for you?”
A smile found its way to Valen’s lips. “Ok, I’ll see the clothester. I asked the kitchen to make
something for you as you might be hungry. The food turned cold and…” he sighed.
“Aww… my child is so considerate.” She pressed the button on his wheelchair and carried him in her
arms.
Valen blushed, feeling embarrassed.
“You are more considerate than your papa… don’t tell him.” She chuckled.
Valen smiled and for the first time, he kissed Jeslyn on the cheeks. “You are better than him.” He
confessed.
