At the beginning, Miranda had wanted to stay in the Xia Clan's house to take care of Consuela. But after hearing what Consuela had said, her eyes flickered in shock. This shouldn't have happened.
"Mrs. Richie, actually I..." There was a tremble in her voice.
With a mysterious smile on her lips, Consuela said, "Just follow them. I don't need you to take care of me."
Such a simple and clear refusal was not expected by Richie's parents and her parents. As always, Consuela was not like this at all. At least, she was a person who knew how to compromise before.
However, after knowing so many things, she wasn't the one who she used to be. At this moment, she'd rather be an aloof, cold-blooded creature, at least she wouldn't be so sad. However, she couldn't pretend to be a friendly, kind lady all the time.
Perhaps it was because the memory she had left to others was too obedient that now her sharpness and coldness had no impact at all. Others would only think that it was the sequela of her loss of her child.
As she was dissatisfied with her stubborn attitude, Wendy stood up and smiled at her. "Since Consuela doesn't want to go with us. She can stay here for a few more days. Then I'll ask Richie to pick her up. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Don't worry. Consuela is my daughter. Even if you don't tell me about it, I'll take care of her. Just rest assured," Linda smiled as gentle as before.
After making some more arrangements, Wendy and Carter left reluctantly.
Unable to keep her composure anymore, the gloom on her face appeared again. Consuela stood up, intending to go back to her bedroom. However, the door was opened again.
She stopped and turned around, only to see that Sheryl was taking big steps towards the living room. Her ponytail waved as she walked, and it looked as if nobody was allowed to get in.
"Why do you come back so early?"
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ie. She asked in surprise, "Are you okay?"
It seemed that she hadn't heard this voice for a long time, nor had she heard it speak in such a sincere tone. Gradually, her eyes welled up with tears. After calming down, she said, "I'm fine."
'I'm fine. But it's just that I'm not as good as you think.'
The woman on the other side of the phone apparently sighed, but she did not expose her. She said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "Long time no see. Don't you miss me?"
She heaved a sigh of relief. Then she put on a sincere smile and asked, "Tell me, where are we going to meet?"
"It's inconvenient for you now. How about the coffee shop just opposite the road beside your house? We'll meet in two hours, okay?" After pondering over it for a little while, Cassie chose a place which was the nearest to the Consuela's house in consideration to Consuela's current condition.
"Okay, see you in two hours." Consuela nodded and hung up the phone.
She didn't know what to do. After two minutes, she went into the bathroom with a towel, as if feeling ashamed to show up in front of others now.
When warm water poured on her body, the coolness in her heart gradually disappeared, but the coldness in her heart could not be completely extinguished.
