SWNOVELS Chapter 8
Chapter 8
“I should compensate Ruben anyway. Ruben’s leg will definitely leave a scar. He deserves this. I’ll leave you to chat. I have things to do. Got to go.” After saying that, I turned around and left.
This young couple wouldn’t have much lovey–dovey time like this. It would be at most half a month before Frederic appeared. Emilia was his prey. By then, Ruben wouldn’t have had a chance to talk with Emilia so happily.
At the thought of this, I found Frederic was really such a jerk.
After I left the hospital, I told Marcel to drive me to Maple Villa, where Frederic and I resided.
The vitamins I bought before were there. I wanted to take them back so that I could have them when I was at my mom’s place. Combined with my mom’s great cooking skills, I would definitely be able to gain 5 kilograms per month.
The vitamins were still placed in the living room. There was no sign of them being touched.
I didn’t know if Frederic had come back home last night and what the result of his talk with Gianna was.
“Why didn’t you get out of the car yesterday?” I was about to leave with the vitamins when Frederic appeared upstairs. He looked down at me, his eyes full of disgruntlement.
Why was he home again? Normally, he came back here every three months.

Frederic was wearing pure black loungewear. Despite the extremely simple clothes, his face and body shape just made him rather charming.
“I have never interfered with the women who had affairs with you. I don’t want to break the convention,” I answered with composure.
“Oh yeah? Their resources were cut off and their dirt was spread around. Were those all coincidences?” Frederic stared at me with a poker face.
It turned out that he knew what I had done, but he had never stopped me, because he didn’t take those women seriously at all.
Emilia was different. Even if I only wanted to meet her and talk with her, Frederic would act like an angry lion and wish to tear me into pieces.
I didn’t deny that. “You offered every one of them quite some money and resources. Those things are sort of marital property. It was normal for me to take them back in another way.”
“Then why didn’t you take the things back from Gianna last night? I gave her a house. Half of it is yours.” Frederic walked downstairs and stood in front of me. His height of nearly 1.9 meters just made him look even more intimidating.
What was wrong with Frederic? I frowned. Why did he say that to me now?
There would be at most one year before he proposed divorcing me and giving me a large sum of money. Why would I care about a house?
“I’ve thought it through. She isn’t the first one. Nor would she be the last one. I can’t deal with them all,” I said hurriedly before leaving. I should’ve asked Marcel to get in here and take the vitamins.
I didn’t feel Frederic’s cold gaze disappear until I got out of the house.

I tossed the vitainins into the back seat and then ordered Marcel to drive.
Having been back to my parents‘ place, I handed over the vitamins to the maid. My mom was cooking. Cooking was one of her hobbies.
My dad came back too. As he entered the house and saw me at home, he gasped at me and passed his phone to me. “Check this out.”
I took a look at the phone only to see the headline. It said Gianna Conway and the president of the Hudson Group went into a hotel together and their relationship was denied.
If anything was going on between the two of them, that wouldn’t be a relationship but an affair.
I returned the phone to my dad and said to him, “Dad, it wasn’t true. You know, Frederic is a businessman. It’s all for work.”
“How can you still defend him now? My dad was so mad.
I wasn’t defending Frederic at all. I just didn’t want my dad to get sick out of anger.
“Then, why don’t you go and give him a beating now?” I rolled up my sleeves. “I’ll do you a favor. Let’s do this together and kick his ass hard!”
My dad’s face was initially grim. After hearing what I said, he cracked a bright smile. “Enough with that nonsense. Is it black humor?”
I held my dad’s arm and said gently, “Dad, don’t be mad. Think about how much the Hudson Group has contributed to Aroma City. Are you feeling better?”
“Fair enough. Frederic donated new plastic tracks to a few schools not long ago. He still cares about people’s livelihood and society.” My dad

recalled the merit of Frederic now.
“Exactly.” I chimed in.
As I talked with my dad, my mom had got the dishes ready. She asked us to have dinner together. The dishes were all my favorites. Indeed, my mom loved me so much..
We really enjoyed the lunch, but my dad still had to hurry back to work, leaving me and my mom at home.
A few good friends of my mom’s came to play mahjong with her. The four women sat by the table, playing mahjong and chatting. And I just lay on the sofa and started to read the news about Frederic and Gianna.
Gianna explained that she and Frederic were merely good friends. Recently, Frederic planned to invest in a drama and make her star in the drama, so they contacted each other frequently. It was mainly about the drama.
It seemed that Frederic had given away some money again. He was indeed generous in this aspect. This was also the simplest and most effective way.
Unknowingly, I fell asleep on the sofa. I didn’t wake up until Greta called me.
I checked the time. Needless to say, she must want to ask me to go to a bar with her at night again.
“Syl, come and drink with me. Here are handsome guys!” Greta shouted on the other side of the line.
“How handsome?” I asked.
“They are really drop–dead gorgeous that your heart will stop beating for them. Just come here. Celia is already here. Jan has been doing a

commercial showy out of town these days, so she can’t come,” Greta said.
Since they knew that I would divorce Frederic, these girls had taken turns asking me out for various activities, including cating, doing karaoke, and shopping.
I knew they were afraid that I was actually sad inwardly despite my composed look. So, they wanted to keep me distracted.
That was also what I really needed. Otherwise, I would think about what happened in the last life.
“I’ll get changed and be there soon.” I hung up the phone. Greta had sent me the address.
Half an hour later, I set off in high spirits. Here started the night life.
Greta had been to almost all the bars in Aroma City. She knew well which bar had the best wine and most handsome guys.
Admittedly, the handsome guys Greta brought this time were indeed nice. They looked a bit like stars.
I drank a bit much and couldn’t help vomiting
I was really useless. I couldn’t help comparing these handsome guys with Frederic in secret. I had barely interacted with them. I just kept drinking.
Frederic was handsome. He was brilliant in appearance and demeanor.
“I’m sorry. I need to go to the washroom.” I got up and walked to the washroom. A handsome guy sitting next to me also followed and reached out to hold my arm.
I enjoyed being gently looked after by a man instead of rejecting him.
When I got into the washroom, I just threw up. Then, I rinsed my mouth and washed my face before coming out of the washroom. The handsome guy was still waiting for me. He asked, “Could I add you on Line?”
“Why do you want to add me on Line?” I asked deliberately.
“We can contact each other often,” he answered directly, “If you feel lonely, you can text me anytime.”
