You Are My One and Only

Chapter 52

Isaac covered his nose in response and stood up. “Come on, go inside and have a wash.”

These two seriously reeked. If they weren’t his good friends, he wouldn’t even let them into his place and stain the entire mansion with sewer stench.

While the three walked inside, Percy found their episode increasingly amusing the more he thought about it. “F*cking hell, is this the welcoming I get for coming back this time? I’ll sure as hell remember it for the rest of my life.”

Nikola, on the other hand, couldn’t help cussing as he said, “Come on, Tricia. Isn’t this only our first time third-wheeling you guys? Do you have to do this to us?!”

Despite ranting, the two couldn’t help laughing about it either.

Isaac stayed about a foot away from them, for he couldn’t stand the stench on them. “Don’t blame both of your bad luck on her.”

Then again, I’m sure you guys won’t dare to come near easily anymore. You guys sure as hell have to be taught a lesson.

Also, there isn’t even a spark between Patricia and me yet! Just when I thought I could get her to pick me up and ease our relationship, this sh*t happened and caused her to freak out. Great, I have to go and coax her tomorrow.

After arriving at the mansion, Isaac told the guys to stop before he rinsed them down with the garden hose, causing the guys to howl at the coldness. It was winter and about thirty degrees Fahrenheit at that, yet they were forced to be drenched in icy water.

Nikola was so cold at the end of it that he was stuttering. “I-Isaac, i-if both of us catch a c-cold tomorrow, Tricia h-has to make us dinner t-to make up for it.”

Hearing so, Isaac pointed the garden hose at Nikola, drenching the guy in icy water again. Cook for you? Dream on! Only I get to eat her cooking. Don’t you two even think about it!

…

After Isaac’s chauffeur dropped her off at her home, Patricia gave herself a sniff. I don’t reek of sewage water, right? she thought.

However, she still stood outside for a while, hoping the winter breeze would take some of the stench with it. Nonetheless, the night was so cold that she couldn’t help jumping.

Just then, Gus happened to return home. He went up to her when he caught sight of the woman. “Tricia, I’ve sorted out the money for you. It’ll appear in your bank account by tomorrow.”

“Thanks, Gus.” Patricia smiled.

I’ll have the money by tomorrow, and Poppy will be able to undergo her surgery after settling the medical bill. How wonderful!

Poppy will finally get better, and Darcie’s good life will just be ahead.

They could buy another house after losing this one, anyway. After Darcie sold her house, they could immediately return this half a million. It’d be a win-win situation.

The two chatted for a while longer before entering their respective homes.

“Tricia, you’re home.” Josephine had been waiting for Patricia to come home, whereas the latter was surprised to find Josephine still awake when she came in. “Mrs. Zimmers, why haven’t you gone to bed?”

“I’ve made you some chocolate mousse dessert.” Josephine pointed toward the kitchen. “Have some before you go to bed.”

Patricia nodded in acknowledgment. “I’ll go take a shower first. I’ll be real quick.”

She couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was certainly tainted with poop stench, and she could only bring herself to have some dessert after a shower.

She came back downstairs twenty minutes later and sat in front of the coffee table in the living room. The chocolate mousse dessert was a perfect treat.

Meanwhile, Josephine sat next to her, watching her eat the dessert. “Tricia, when are you going to bring your boyfriend home and introduce him to us?”

Her boyfriend had taken care of her when she was sick the other day, and he had even taken pretty good care of her as well.

Also, she heard from their neighbors that the car at the gates was a fine vehicle made for the rich and noble. If Tricia had found herself a rich man, then the young woman wouldn’t have to live in constant worry anymore.

Patricia nearly spat out the dessert in her mouth upon hearing Josephine’s words. She took a moment to collect herself before swallowing the rest of it.

“Where did you hear that from, Mrs. Zimmers? That’s nonsense.”

She had no intention of finding a boyfriend. Moreover, she felt somewhat repulsive toward men.
