SWNOVELS Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Fish
Bertha asked, “Is she Wesley’s fiancée?” Arianna was annoyed. She replied, “Fiancée? No, they are married. She is Wesley’s wife. “Mom, I’m jealous, and I can’t understand. I have known Wesley for such a long time, and I have been working hard to gain his heart. Why didn’t he marry me? Eleanor took him away from me without doing anything! “They’ve only known each other for a few days. “Moreover, Eleanor is from the countryside. Her family is poor. According to my investigation, she didn’t even go to school. I can’t stand being defeated by someone like her.” Bertha didn’t expect that Eleanor and Wesley had gotten a marriage certificate. It took her a while to regain her composure. She said, “You’d better not underestimate Eleanor. She is hard to deal with, though she is young. You’re no match for her. Look, don’t mess with her these days.” Arianna opened her eyes wide. She asked, “What do you mean? Do you want me to watch her stay with Wesley every day without doing anything?” Bertha curled her lips. She scolded, “You fool! Instead of trying to handle Eleanor, you should put more effort into making Wesley love you. As long as you succeed in it, he will naturally abandon Eleanor. “In general, you have an advantage to go to marry Wesley as you two have known each other for nearly a decade. Are you sure you understand him? Do you know what kind of girls he likes? “You spend your days swaggering before others. Why don’t you try to make Wesley fall in love with you?” “I have tried my best!” Arianna could hardly maintain her composure. Bertha had no idea how hard she had tried to attract Wesley. Wesley didn’t love her no matter what she did. He even got angry at her because of Eleanor. “It’s all Eleanor’s fault. All the conflicts between Wesley and me are due to her. I love Wesley. That’s why I tried to hurt Eleanor. Why can’t he understand me? I have to go to him and explain to him.” As she said, she wanted to leave. However, Bertha stopped her. “Explain? No, you have to apologize. Wesley is smart enough to know what’s on your mind. “Now he’s mad at you. If you go to him, you’ll only make him more annoying. Listen, until your face is healed, stay out of trouble. Then you can go and apologize to him when the time is right.” “When is the right time?” “Do you remember what you are going to do at the end of the month? It is the most appropriate opportunity to apologize to Wesley.” Arianna’s eyes brightened as she understood what Bertha meant. “That’s right! How could I forget that day? No matter how angry Wesley is with me, he will definitely forgive me on that day.” “Yes. We can think of a way to handle Eleanor after that.” *** Wesley returned home with a gift box in his hand. Eleanor gave him an angry glance and then continued to stare at the fish in the fish tank. It was Wesley’s pet fish. He was very concerned about it. Although Eleanor didn’t like fish, she looked at it with satisfaction, as it reminded her of happy times in the mountains. When she was a child, she went to catch the same kind of fish in the river. So, whenever she was bored at home alone these days, she liked to look at it. Wesley frowned at being ignored, but he said nothing. He knew that she was almost hurt by Arianna and didn’t want to annoy her again for the time being. Thankfully, Eleanor was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, she would have been disfigured by a bottle of acid poured on her, let alone several bottles. Arianna had changed a lot these years. He would not have let her off if it weren’t for… Wesley changed his shoes and walked to the living room, where he handed Eleanor the gift box. “Here you are.” Eleanor glanced at it but didn’t take it. “What’s it?”
