In the basement studio, Alexander brought Megan along when he came to see Chester.
Recently, Megan had
been spending time with Rosalind every day, and Rosalind tagged along this time as well.
Hearing that Chester was working on software development, Rosalind couldn’t resist asking questions.
“Are you doing it all by yourself?”
“Yes.”
“Can I take a look?”
“No,” Chester replied bluntly.
Alexander nearly choked on his water. Rosalind was Megan’s best friend, and if she got upset, Megan would surely vent her anger on him.
“It’s a trade secret, Rosalind. No one can see it until it’s officially released.”
“Sorry, I’m just really curious. What exactly does this software do?”
“Entertainment.
“In what form? Text or…”
Megan cleared her throat and said, “Rosalind, he already said it’s a trade secret.
Rosalind laughed. “Sorry, I’m just curious about fields I don’t know much about.”
Chester nodded. “Did you study design?”
“Yes, Megan and I both studied design. But our work is relatively simple, nowhere near as technically demanding as software development
The two of them struck up a conversation.
Meanwhile, Angelina had bought some expensive fruits on her way over as she figured there might be several people at Chester’s place. Even though he had gone bankrupt, his friends were still picky.
The cherries cost over 40 dollars, and the grapes were also quite expensive. Angelina carried the fruits over happily.
As she neared the basement studio, she saw several luxury cars parked outside.
It was already getting dark. Two women passed by the entrance, supporting each other. One of them, seemingly drunk, kicked a car tire and shouted, “So what if you’re rich?”
Chapter 2
Angelina was speechless.
“Chester, I actually understand nothing about this. Fashion design focuses on styles. What about software development?”
“Software development…”
Before Angelina could push open the door, she saw through the small gap that Chester and Rosalind were sitting together, chatting and laughing.
Rosalind rested her chin on her hand as she smiled at Chester, and their gazes lingered on each other in a moment of unspoken connection
Angelina froze for a moment, painfully realizing that she was just a side character.
She carried her fruits and turned to leave. In her haste, she accidentally kicked a stick outside. She grabbed onto the door frame, startled. Then, she sat down on the ground.
“Who’s there? Who’s outside?”
Joshua rushed over, thinking their rival had sent someone to spy on them. But as he got closer, he saw Angelina sitting on the ground with a flushed face.
“A–Angelina.”
Chester immediately stood up. “What are you doing here?”
“I just came to check on you.”
He reached out his hand. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Chester crouched down, supporting her waist gently and helping her up.
“I’ll head back, then.” Angelina let go of his hand. “I didn’t fall. I just sat on the ground. Your mom made soup and told me to go back.”
“Angelina! Angelina!” Chester chased after her. “Angelina.”
She stopped in her tracks. “Go do your stuff. I need to go back to have the soup. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
“I’ll drive you back. Let me grab my car keys.”
“Your friends are still there. I’ll walk back by myself. Walking helps with labor.”
Angelina crossed the zebra crossing, and a gust of wind blew against her. She raised her hand to touch her face. Was it raining? No, it turned out she was crying.
As it turned out, there was a significant difference between being a reader and being directly
involved.
As a reader, she just shipped the official couple and would feel all warm and fuzzy inside when she read about them.
But now, as the side character, she found herself jealous of Chester and Rosalind.
Chester turned back and looked at the fruits Joshua was holding. “Did she bring fruits for us?”
Ever since she agreed to have the child and give their relationship another shot, she had changed quite a bit. She was behaving like a goodmother and wife.
“Angelina!” Chester chased after her again, but she was already gone.
“Chester, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Eat the fruits.”
Angelina hurried back home, her mind full of romantic scenes between Chester and Rosalind.
In the novel, after meeting Rosalind, Chester would spoil her endlessly and give her all his affection. Rosalind became the envy of everyone in Brookhaven as his beloved wife.
There were also many intimate descriptions.
With just one sentence, Angelina could imagine ten more vivid ones. But now, those same lines weighed heavily on her heart.
“Angelina, where are you? Where’s my package?
“Package?”
“Yeah, the package you picked up for me. I had someone send over a set of client information. I need it to find clients to start a collaboration.”
Angelina glanced at her empty hands. “Where are you? I think I left it at the grocery store.”
“Seriously? How could you forget that?“.
Angelina stayed silent, and Isadora sighed. “What are you doing? I asked you to pick it up so that I could see it first thing after work. But you..
“I’m sorry.”
“Which grocery store?”
As Angelina tried to recall, Isadora walked out of the apartment. “Which grocery store is it? The document inside is confidential.”
After they retrieved the document, they went back. Emily was waiting anxiously.
“Why were you out for so long? Did you two run into each other?”
“We did.”
Emily served a bowl of chicken noodle soup for Angelina, and Angelina ate half of it reluctantly.
Just then, Chester returned home.
“Chester, dinner’s ready.”
Chester sat down next to Angelina, and she continued eating her soup as if nothing had happened. Actually, she had come to terms with it. Having a child would secure her wealth and
status.
As for Chester and Rosalind, they were definitely meant to be together. Once things settled down, she would take the initiative to sign the divorce agreement.
Since she helped Chester make a comeback and even birthed a child for him, given Chester’s character, he definitely wouldn’t mistreat her even if he got together with Rosalind.
She just felt sad about this because she had been around him too long, and he had been especially kind to her recently..
“Alexander came over to discuss some matters, and he brought Megan along.”
“Was it really just Megan, Ches?”
“Rosalind was there too.”
“Rosalind is quite beautiful. The more you look at her, the prettier she gets. She has the figure and the looks, and she’s also talented in design. She won a grand slam of awards back in school. I’m done eating. I’m going to the room. With that, she walked away and closed the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Isadora was looking at the client’s materials in her hands. “The clients are so difficult to deal with. Their demands are so high.
“Ches, what do you think of this client?”
Chester glanced at the documents. “Give it a try.”
Isadora wanted to ask more, but he had already gone into the room.
ng that this
Angelina pretended to sleep, matter couldn’t be delayed any longer. She needed to help Chester and Rosalind get together as soon as possible. If this dragged on, she would really start to take her relationship with Chester seriously.
“Hello, Mr. Holmes. This is Isadora from Isa Studios. I’d like to discuss something with you. When would you be available to meet? We can discuss the details in person.”
Chapter 20
After agreeing on a time to meet, Isadora was so excited she almost jumped up. “Hello, Mr. Lane. I’m going to meet with a foreign client tomorrow. Is there anything I should be aware of? I’d like to get some advice from you.”
“Oh, I have time now. Are you able to come over Isadora?”
“Yes, sure.”
Isadora was eager to make money. She hadn’t even eaten yet, but she said, “Mom, I’m going out. I have something to do.”
“Eat first. I’ll just stir–fry some vegetables.”
Chester sat on the edge of the bed. “What’s going on? Why did you leave the dining table so early?”
Angelina didn’t respond.
“Angelina, this is my first time being a husband. If I’m not doing something right, tell me directly. We shouldn’t hide things from each other. Any misunderstandings can be cleared up.
