Chapter 539: Chapter 539: He Ruined the Love
Her time in Singapore had been worry-free.
It was very beautiful.
But now, being forced to return and stay in Landon by Sylvan Cheney, she was somewhat unwilling.
He had ruined her love, it was not fair for him to ruin her future too.
As long as she stayed in Landon, she had no freedom; she had to follow his every command.
“Well, maybe I should bring you some books one day? And my old language study notes, I don’t need them anymore, I could give them to you?”
“Thank you so much, Ann.”
Ann Nolan felt that she got along well with Jasmine Yale.
At least, they hit it off from the moment they met.
You could say it was fate.
“Miss Yale, what a coincidence, we meet again.”
From not far away, a graceful and petite figure approached.
Jasmine Yale looked up, it was Harper Glorian.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at Ann Nolan.
Seeing that Ann was sipping her coffee, she withdrew her gaze.
What a coincidence to bump into Harper Glorian here.
“Miss Glorian, hello,” said Jasmine Yale with a charming smile, “Did you come here alone?”
“Yes, I came here to buy a cake. Today is my boyfriend’s birthday.” Harper Glorian said with a smile.
Boyfriend? Birthday?
Could today be Zaiden Santos’ birthday?
If not, Jasmine Yale really didn’t know who else could be Harper Glorian’s boyfriend.
“Do you want me to help you pick one?” Jasmine Yale tried to defuse the awkwardness.
She didn’t understand the dynamic between Ann Nolan and Harper Glorian.
“No need, I can do it myself. I plan to make one by hand for him; that way, it shows my feelings more.”
“That’s nice.” Jasmine Yale responded, noncommittally.
She felt very awkward.
Harper Glorian acted as if she hadn’t seen Ann Nolan, her demeanor was generous, her smile relaxed.
She waved at Jasmine Yale and walked toward the back of the store.
Jasmine Yale sat back down, seeing Ann Nolan calmly stirring her coffee.
Just like her name suggested.
Like a beautiful flower blooming in the dust of time.
“I met Miss Glorian once, we’re sort of friends.” Jasmine Yale decided to explain.
But Ann Nolan just smiled, “I know.”
“Ah….” Jasmine Yale was taken aback.
Ann cut a piece of cake for Jasmine: “Try this, it’s delicious. I just remembered, I know a great language teacher. I’ll introduce him to you later.”
Seeing that Ann didn’t mention Harper again, Jasmine kept quiet as well.
If today was really Zaiden Santos’ birthday, Ann Nolan must know.
Maybe, Ann knew everything.
Ann was very casual as if she had nothing to do with Zaiden Santos; she was only chatting with Jasmine Yale.
Midway through their conversation, Ann received a call.
“Why aren’t you back home?” Zaiden Santos asked.
“It’s still midday, why should I go home? Didn’t we agree to go to grandfather’s house in the evening? I’m currently with Jasmine.”
“Have you bought my gift?”
“No.”
“You!” Zaiden Santos was angry, “Did you forget today is a special day?”
“I didn’t think much of it.”
“You really think you can afford to make me angry.”
“I’m hanging up now, I’ll accompany you at grandfather’s house in the evening. I won’t cause you any worries. I’ll be a good wife.”
After saying that, Ann Nolan hung up the phone.
In public, they looked like a loving couple, but behind closed doors, they would barely talk, even when they shared a bed.
Walking back from outside, ironically, Ann Nolan ran into Harper Glorian who had just purchased a cake!
With a “thud”, the cake fell to the ground.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Ann instantly apologized and bent down to pick up Harper’s cake box.
“Ah….” Harley exclaimed sorrowfully, “The cake must be ruined now.”
