Chapter 353 Similar Habits

Day Forty-Two...

~~*****~~

After talking to Dave, Vincent contacted Helena. She just finished taking a shower when she received Vincent's call.

"Hello, Babe, what's up? Do you miss me?" Helena greeted him playfully. She was drying her hair using her blower while answering the phone.

"Yes. I do. But we can't see each other for a moment." Vincent replied. "Have you met him?"

Helena took a deep breath. "Yes, I met him. I think our strategy is working."

"Hmm. Good to know. So he still has feeling for Monica." Vincent was satisfied with Helena's update.

"By the way, Babe., have you confirmed it to Dave? Is Abigail Scarlett... alive?" Helena was interested to hear any news about Abigail. She met her at Celeste's boutique but she didn't recognize her because of her disguise. She looked different from Abigail they knew.

"Yes. She is alive. But she lost her memory, according to Dave." Vincent informed Helena.

"Sigh! That's good. This only meant she can't recall the things she overheard before." Helena felt relieved.

"Are you not going to do anything about this?" Helena asked him. "She has a connection with Nathan. She said... she was his woman."

Vincent was rendered speechless for a moment.

"His woman? Then how about Dave? I thought she loved Dave." Vincent couldn't believe it.

"I guess she is just bluffing. I don't think Nathan already moved on. So never mind. My worry is that... when her memory comes back. We will be in trouble if she will mention anything to him." Helena expressed her concern about what Abigail could reveal to Nathan. It was a secret they had to keep no matter what.

"We can't touch her. Dave is with her. He will protect her." Vincent disregarded the idea of doing something against Abigail.

"Are you Nathan's fiancé?" Veronica asked her directly. She looked at her sharply, not hiding the displeasure on her face.

'Tsk Tsk Tsk. She is always transparent. She doesn't know how to hide her animosity toward someone.' Helena had the urge to shake her head while watching Veronica helplessly.

'She is still clueless. Nathan will never love her.' Helena added in her thoughts.

"It's not yet official. All I know is that... my father and Nathan's father talked about our engagement. I am just waiting for Nathan to formally announce it." Helena didn't deny it. She was testing Veronica, wondering how she would react.

'Will she make a fuss here?' Helena was looking forward to seeing Veronica making a scene as she lost her temper.

However, Veronica just remained silent. 'She is delusional. Does she really think that Nathan will easily agree to this engagement? I know him. He will not marry anyone. He only cares about my sister, Monica!'

Since her provocation didn't work, Helena thought of something else on how she would taunt Veronica.

​ "Wait for me here, Miss Veronica. I will just get some snacks for us."

A few minutes later, Helena returned, holding a tray of apples and pineapple juice. She took them from the refrigerator. She placed them on the table and picked up a small knife.

"I love apples. I love creating designs, carving on them." Helena blurted out.

Veronica just nodded her head and watched Helena. At first, Veronica didn't mind her words. But when Helena began peeling the apple and started carving on it, Veronica was reminded of someone: Monica!

Veronica's eyes fell on Helena's hands. She observed her every movement. After a few seconds, Helena was done carving the apple. She made a bunny out of the apple. Veronica glanced at her face with disbelief. She only knew someone who loved doing something like this. It was her sister, Monica!

'What a coincidence! Helena and Monica have similar habits.'

Meanwhile, Helena smiled triumphantly upon seeing Veronica's shocked expression.

'She is now thinking about her sister.'
