Fate’s Second Chance ( Salome Felix )

Fate’s Second Chance Chapter 3



Chapter

Derek was smiling. He wore a suit and leather shoes, and he seemed quite polite, but 

Salome felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her

Salome’s gaze was cold as she passed Winnie’s medication to Derek

I’ve already visited her. You pass these to Leticia.” 

Derek raised an eyebrow. Let’s go together. We haven’t met in a long while.” 

It’s okay, I have something else to attend to.Salome handed Derek the medicine, then 

turned around and walked out of the lobby

Derek watched her leave with a meaningful gaze, then couldn’t help but hold the 

medicine to his nose, taking a whiff

After all, a goodlooking young lady was seen at the OBGYN department, holding 

antibiotics in her hand. Of course, people would think that something was up

Derek lowered his gaze, feeling his stomach tighten

He never thought that Salome would be so daring in private, despite seeming so aloof 

on the surface

It was reasonable, though. Her husband hadn’t been around for three years, so it wasn’t 

Chapter 3 You Only Have Your Background to Blame 

surprising that a lonely woman like her would get into an affair or two

He wasn’t in a hurry. Salome would return to the Felix Family sooner or later, so he had 

all the opportunities in the world

After getting into the car, Salome still felt a little uncomfortable

In the beginning, because of the three moving into the Felix Family, she had to 

constantly see Derek, who wasn’t related to her at all. She felt a little uncomfortable 

about that

Arthur had asked her to stay, but when she hinted that Derek could move out instead,. 

Arthur felt extremely troubled

Arthur felt that he owed Leticia and Winnie a lot, and he wanted to treat Derek the 

same

Salome didn’t want to add to his burdens, so she moved out on her own

Now, she looked like an outsider instead

She didn’t have to clock in at the studio, but when she was driving home, her phone 

rang. When she saw the name flashing on the screen, her already bad mood turned 

even worse

The ringtone hadn’t stopped after a long while, so Salome took a deep breath and

answered the call

Hello, Madam White.” 

The person who called was Brenda White, Isaac’s biological mother

3/6 

Ever since Salome received the marriage certificate, this motherinlaw of hers, who 

came from a prominent background and carried herself haughtily, would always find 

fault with her. Salome knew better than to get in the way, so save for some acts she put 

up in front of Jacob, she steered clear of anything related to the Andersons

Please come to the Anderson Residence so that we can discuss the divorce in 

person.” 

Brenda didn’t mince her words, and she even spoke up in case Salome declined

Salome, you should know that we simply couldn’t refuse Old Mr. Anderson’s request 

back then, but now that Isaac is taking over the Anderson Group, he makes the final 

decisions in the Anderson Family. Old Mr. Anderson will probably comply.” 

In other words, the divorce was inevitable

Brenda even expected Salome to make a fuss out of it. After all, no woman would want 

to let go of her son

Even if they couldn’t obtain his love for their entire lives, they would be happy just to

exchange a few words with him

However, Salome’s reply over the phone was calm. All right. Shall I come over now?” 

Salome didn’t even question it, and she was so indifferent about it

It was as if she had been waiting for this day

4/6 

Brenda didn’t like that. The Andersons should toss Salome away, true, but Salome was 

behaving in such a cold way that it felt like Isaac wasn’t attractive enough for her

Brenda snorted, trying to make herself look good as she said, I’m glad you agree

You’re not worthy of Isaac in a position like that, and he deserves someone better. You 

can come here right now. I’ve called Isaac too, and he’ll be here soon.” 

Salome hesitated. Isaac will be there too

If he finds out that the woman he slept with last night was the wife he would divorce 

soon, how would he react

He was such a prideful man

He probably would feel like he had swallowed a fly. He couldn’t spit it out, but it still 

disgusted him

Salome smiled lightly, then headed for Anderson Residence

5/6 

When Brenda saw Salome, she didn’t seem too happy, but since Salome wasn’t making 

a fuss and demanding compensation, she let Salome off

Don’t blame me for being too cruel, but you should know the current state of the Felix 

Family, and I’m not scared to speak the truth. You should convince your dad to throw in 

the towel as soon as possible because he’s not made for business. The Andersons 

could help him once, but never again. Also, your stepmother is trying to take advantage 

of us. You’re in a very bad spot. There’s nothing to be gained from having you in the 

Anderson Family, and we even have to take care of the burdensome family you come 

from! We have to consider backgrounds too, you know, so you only have your 

background to blame.” 

Salome was sitting on the couch, and when she heard that, she nodded in agreement

Yes, I truly am not worthy of Mr. Anderson.” 

In reality, save for the marriage certificate, the Andersons might as well be strangers to 

her, and she even had to bear a false name for no reason

Divorce would be an escape for her

Brenda fell silent

She felt like she was unsatisfactorily landing punches on cotton. She couldn’t figure out 

if the humble woman in front of her was putting on an act or being sincerely indifferent 

about it

Chapter 3 You Only Have Your Background to Blame 

The sound of a car braking was heard in the yard outside

When the servants waiting outside noticed that Isaac’s car had pulled up, they hastily 

came in to report. Madam, the young master is back!” 

Brenda stood up in elation and hastily walked out the door

Salome stared in the direction of the door as well. She had already made mental 

preparations to face Isaac, but her originally calm heart suddenly turned nervous 

beyond her control
