Stanley planned to leave the next morning, to be hadn’t informed Melinda today. He intended to until that night of tomorrow morning to break the news for he didn’t want to burden her with the sorrow of separation. He felt that she had feelings for him too, and perhaps they shared a similar sentiment.
Meanwhile, Monica didn’t come to Repulse Bay today, for Stanley had made it clear yesterday that he didn’t want to see her there anymore. Unaware of this Jennifer took the initiative to provide the chef with a recipe and selected dishes that Monica liked as she anticipated that Monica would be there for lunch.
As it approached 11:00AM, there was still no sign of Monica “Stephanie, did Monica mention anything yesterday?” Jennifer wondered. Did she say she wouldn’t be coming today?”
“No.” Stephanie replied.
“Why hasn’t she arrived yet, then” Jennifer picked up the landline and dialed her number.
Soon, Monica answered the call. “Hello, Miss Fox.”
“Monica, where are you? Lunch is almost ready. Why haven’t you arrived yet?”
I’m not coming. Her tone was soft. “Miss Fox, there’s something I want to remind you.”
“What is it” Jennifer was all cars upon hearing that. “Go ahead”
After a moment of hesitation, Monica pretended to hesitate a little longer.
“It’s okay, go ahead.” Jennifer then guessed. “Did Stanley upset you? Is that why you’re not coming?”
“No, it’s not that Monica said. “Miss Fox, I saw Stanley enter Chloe’s room yesterday. I knocked on the door and waited for a long time before they opened it, and I noticed creases on the bedsheet.”
Jennifer’s heart sank upon hearing that, and her eyes flickered instantly. “Inovelxo.com fast updates that so?”
“I don’t know if Chloe gave him something, but Stanley has been infatuated with her recently.” Monica said. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have moved to Repulse Bay
After hearing Monica’s words, it started to make sense why her son had chosen to stay there. Could it be that Chloe was secretly controlling Stanley with drugs? “If that’s the case, it’s terrifying..” Jennifer felt uneasy. “What’s her motive? Is it the company or to become Mrs. Fox?”
Monica sounded a little saddened “Miss Fox, let her heal your wounds first. After all, she’s not a supernatural being who can obtain whatever she desires”
“How could I keep such a dangerous person by my side?” Jennifer’s voice turned cold.
“Stanley is leaving for a business trip to Arunia tomorrow, Monica said. “When he returns, he won’t stay in Repulse Bay anymore. I will make sure he stays away from Chloe.”
“Monica… Jennifer didn’t know what else to say “Thank you for being so attentive. Don’t worry, I will observe things quietly. Are you going to Arunia as well?”
“Yes, I’ll be keeping him company”
“Please take good care of him, then. I feel at ease knowing you’re by his side.”
“I will,” Monica said. “Take care of yourself, Miss Fox. I need to attend a meeting now”
“Okay” After the call ended, Jennifer sat on the couch as she was lost in thought for some time. Stanley entered Chise’s room, and it took a while before they opened the door. There were even creases on the bedsheet, huh? Isn’t he deeply in love with that country girl? No way, I have to uncover the truth! After contemplating for a while. Jennifer came up with her own plan!
The following morning, Stanley woke up early and knocked on Chloe’s door.
Chloe, all masked up, opened the door and released the doorknob when she realized it was him. “Good morning.”
Stanley entered the room and said, “I’m heading to Arunia.”
Hearing that, Chloe removed her mask and was taken aback. “So sudden? Is something the matter?”
Meanwhile, in another bedroom, Jennifer was also up early. As she stared at the monitor screen, so was so shocked to see Melinda’s face that she clutched her chest tightly! Even Stephanie, who was standing next to her, was flabbergasted! Is Chloe actually Melinda? How is this possible?
Inside Chloe’s room, Stanley embraced her while cherishing every moment. “I’m meeting an old friend for a business discussion. He has mobility issues and requires a wheelchair.”
“In that case, you should go….” She felt relieved and gently got out of his embrace. “You don’t have to report your work matters to me.”
“This isn’t reporting. It’s something a husband must explain to his wife before he leaves. It’s about being accountable for everything. These words somehow warmed the cockles of her heart.
