Rift in the perfect picture

Chapter 0235

While waiting for the day of our divorce, I watched as Nicholas appeared frequently in the eyes of the public.

He would take Jasmine out on walks around the malls, treat her to meals, and even watch movies with

her.

Ever since my name had taken a turn for the better, Zachary’s fans had begun sympathizing with me. Hence, the brunt of their attacks began to shift toward Nicholas.

Someone even commented, “Not only do they not look weet together, they’re both a waste of space. Everyone, let’s work together to find someone who’s much more good–looking and wealthier than Nicholas for Ariana!”

Pete also called. I could hear the wind howling on his end as he said, “If you need to use me, I’m more than willing to help.”

I still felt dizzy as I lay on my bed. But there was a seriousness that I had never heard before in Pete’s

tone.

At that moment, I thought about how Pete was not someone I could get together with even if Nicholas and I got a divorce. We just weren’t suitable for each other.

So, I said to him, “Do you think you’d fulfill the condition of being more handsome and wealthier than Nicholas?”

“Fuck you!” Pete’s voice dragged on in annoyance. Then, he began to rant. “Money this, money that. It’s always about money. Why don’t I just give you all my money?

“What good can having a pretty face bring? Can it earn me money? I don’t think you should hold onto so much money either.

“You’ll end up having too much for you to handle, and the stress of having too much money isn’t good for the body either.

“You should just get together with me. You won’t have so much stress, and you’ll probably be able to live

to 99!

“Also, can’t you take a look at the other things that I can bring to the table? I’m young, strong, and filled with energy. Not to mention, I’m also a virgin. How can that old thing compare to me…

Pete’s rant went on like a broken record. So, I listened to him and slowly fell back asleep.

Early the next morning, I stirred in my sleep. Then, I immediately heard Pete’s deliberately deepened voice as he asked through the phone, “Are you awake?”

I jumped out of my bed in fright, and my forehead was immediately covered in a layer of cold sweat, feeling baffled over what was happening.

His cries sounded out through the entrance of my door, “What are you doing in there? Could you open -door for me if you’re awake? I’m about to die!”

The second he entered my house, he immediately wrapped his arms around me, and his ice–cold forehead pressed against mine. Everything happened so suddenly that I was caught off guard.

I immediately began to shiver from the cold air around me. It was freezing.

He pursed his lips and said, “You’re so hot. If you get any hotter, I’ll just treat you as my hotpack.”

Something wasn’t quite right. I quickly pushed him away with my cheeks turned flushed as I looked up and met his bright eyes.

He smiled and hugged me shamelessly once again. His slightly hot breath fell on my neck as he said, This is nice.”

What was nice about the situation? I was sick! How was being sick nice? He’d better clarify what was so nice about the situation!

I frowned and tried to avoid his hug subconsciously. However, he held my head in place and began messing up my hair.

Then, he raised his hands and said, “I didn’t want to come, but your friend asked me to check in on you. She said she was too busy.”

He asked for a glass of hot water pitifully before downing it and sighing in satisfaction.

Turns out, he had not deliberately deepened his voice on purpose just now. His voice was just hoarse due to being out in the cold after waiting by my door for quite some time.

Pete saw through the problem Yasmine was facing. “Why don’t you just give up on Jay Caldwell & Co?! went to Silas back then because he was able to put his foot down in the company.”

Then, he shook his head before continuing, “Your friend can’t do it.”

Yasmine had been too busy recently. More than half of the employees had resigned. She had to put in a lot of effort to hold the fort up while taking care of me.

I didn’t want Yasmine to worry about me, so I begrudgingly allowed Pete to stay. He claimed he was here to take care of me, but in reality? He had eaten more of Wendy’s cooking than I did!
