SWNOVELS Chapter 42
Chapter 42
The 3% stake in The Hudson Group was tempting to me, but even if I didn’t get anything. I wouldn’t starve. Instead. I could leave early and pursue a better life.
“I can’t.” Frederic said firmly. This surprised me.
“Have you ever thought that my existence would hinder your pursuit of true love in the future?” I couldn’t help but remind Frederic.
He had been pursuing Emilia for almost half a month. Shouldn’t he have noticed something different by now? In the past, when he was pursuing women like female celebrities, he never put in so much effort.
Frederic’s eyelids drooped. I didn’t know what he was thinking. After a while, he answered in a flat tone, “No.”
I felt helpless. How could Frederic, such a smart person, be so dull in matters of the heart?
I sighed softly and didn’t want to say anything more. I got up and went upstairs to rest.
The next day. I received a message from Ruben. He said, “Sylvia, Emilia and I have made up. Thank you for advising us. Next time, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
I thought about it and didn’t reply to him. I thought, “Frederic is going to be in a bad mood again.”
After finishing my morning routine, I went downstairs to prepare breakfast. Frederic was already sitting on the couch, looking unhappy.
“Kira, what did you have for breakfast this morning?” I ignored him and walked straight to the dining room.
This morning I had pasta. I had prepared some eggs in advance last night, and Kira offered to add an egg to my pasta if Mrs. Hudson would like it. It would be delicious, Kira said as she served the pasta and prepared some of my favorite desserts and sliced fruit for me.
I was very hungry and started eating as soon as I sat down. Soon, Frederic sat down opposite me.
Kira prepared him a breakfast that was exactly the same as mine.
While eating, Frederic’s phone rang. He looked at it and his face darkened visibly. He only had a few bites of pasta before pushing the plate away carelessly and getting up to leave.
“I reminded him, ‘Don’t forget to come to my house at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.“”
Frederic ignored me and quickly disappeared into the huge living
room.
The message just now was likely sent by Emilia to Frederic, and the content made him very uncomfortable, otherwise he wouldn’t have reacted so strongly.
I glanced at Kira who was cleaning up the kitchen. Emilia was being pursued by a married man. Did she tell Kira about it? The married man had just left here.
“Kira, I’m leaving. I won’t be back for lunch,” I told Kira and then hurried out.
I made an appointment for a full–body check–up. Previously, the check- up I had mainly focused on examining my breasts, which was not comprehensive enough.
Having a good body is the foundation of everything. I had to value my health!
After spending most of the day in the hospital, all the necessary tests were basically done. Before leaving, I thought for a moment and then went to the department where Tristan was.
“Dr. Shelton!”
As soon as I saw Tristan, I smiled warmly.
He was sitting in his own seat eating a boxed meal. When he saw me coming, he frowned.
“Are you alone?” I sat down next to him and stretched my neck to see what he was eating. Then I praised him, “You eat so simply and healthily, that’s great. I always thought you were different from Frederic and his group of playboys. You are a gentleman!”
Tristan glanced at me with a cold expression. “What do you want again? To use me to provoke Frederic?”
I thought, “Sure enough, he saw through me last time.” I felt a wave of helplessness.
I silently took out my phone. “I’ll show you something,” I said.
