“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. Hurry and start cooking, your wife is about to starve to death.”
“Okay, honey, wait for me.”
Outside the front door, Bob Presley curled up on the ground, taking a full ten minutes to finally muster the strength to sit up against the wall. He struggled to take out a cigarette from his pocket and puffed it forcefully, his whole body trembling. First, it was due to the sharp pain in his body, and second, it was because of his anger.
As he thought of the scene he had just witnessed, he unconsciously imagined the intimate moments between Suri Drew and Yigol Novak.
The more he imagined, the more he felt devastated.
He couldn’t accept this reality and had never dreamed that this day would come.
He even imagined one day becoming the laughingstock of his classmates. His crush on Suri Drew was well known, and he had often boasted in front of his classmates and friends that Suri would be his.
But now, Suri was with another man. Wasn’t this a slap in his face?
As he thought, Bob felt hallucinations forming, as if he saw his classmates and friends surrounding and mocking him. He tried desperately to cover his ears, not wanting to hear or see, but the mocking voices and faces wouldn’t go away.
“Bitch, bitch, Suri Drew, you slut.” Bob cursed viciously, his voice growing louder and more desperate.
After a while of breaking down, he suddenly remembered something important, and his previous gloom was swept away.
He knew where Suri’s mother lived, and she had a good impression of him. Suri’s mother would never allow Suri to get married so casually.
Especially not to a man with an unknown background like Yigol Novak.
As he thought, Bob suddenly felt energized. He stubbed out the cigarette, struggled to get up from the ground, and staggered toward his car.
Bearing the pain in his body, he drove nearly two hours to find the place where Suri’s mother lived, an ordinary villa area.
By the time his pain had somewhat lessened, he parked his car and knocked on the door of Suri’s mother’s house.
Although the villa was ordinary, being able to afford a villa and Suri buying her own separate villa showed that Suri’s family was quite well-off.
Moreover, all of Suri’s accomplishments were not achieved with the support of her family but through her own efforts.
By now, the sky had gradually darkened.
After a short while, an elegant woman in her thirties came out.
Suri could be considered a younger version of this woman, albeit not looking old at all. She looked nothing like Suri’s mother but rather like her bestie.
Apart from the difference in charm, both of them could be considered rare beauties.
Suri had grown up fully inheriting her mother’s advantages, and in many ways, she even had more charm than her mother.
“Sun, my student, why did you come so late? I’m sorry, I’m the only one at home now. It’s getting late, and I won’t be able to open the door for you.” Suri’s mother spoke to Bob through the villa’s front door.
“Ms Woods, I understand. It’s getting late now…” Bob replied understandingly: “Ms Watkins, I came to see you to ask if you know about Suri’s recent situation?”
Suri’s mother, Sherry Woods, asked anxiously: “What happened to Suri?”
Bob quickly responded, “It’s nothing, Ms Woods, don’t worry. It’s just that I came to see you because Suri brought a man to live in her villa now…”
Bob didn’t say too much, just dropping hints was enough. This way, it would let Suri’s mother have room for imagination. Daughters are always moms’ treasures, and he didn’t believe that Suri’s mother could remain indifferent when she heard Suri had brought a man home.
As expected, Sherry Woods instantly became extremely worried upon hearing his words.
“That’s imDossible. mv daughter wouldn’t do such a thing.” Sherrv Woods said
in disbelief.
Bob was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted and continued: “Ms Watkins, you misunderstood. I’m not slandering Suri. I’m just saying that she seems to be dating someone now. But, I’m worried about my intentions for Suri. You know that. What concerns me is who she found – I don’t really trust him.” Bob gave just enough information as before.
Upon hearing this, Sherry Woods’ expression eased a bit, and she looked at Bob and said, “My daughter can handle her own affairs, and I don’t interfere.”
“I understand your thinking, Ms Watkins. I just wanted to let you know that I’m sincere about Suri. It’s getting late, so I’ll leave now.” Bob politely finished speaking and left.
He thought his intended effect had been achieved.
He didn’t believe that Sherry Woods could be as calm as she appeared. What mother wouldn’t worry about her daughter being taken advantage of?
Judging by Sherry Woods’ reaction, Suri and Yigol Novak’s relationship must not have been disclosed to her. Now that Sherry knew, she wouldn’t be able to stay uninvolved.
Most likely, she would make a surprise attack to see exactly what was going on with her daughter.
There was no way Sherry Woods would approve of someone like Yigol Novak.
Once Bob had left, Sherry Woods could no longer remain composed. Bob’s words had shocked her too much.
In Sherry Woods’ mind, her daughter had always been a self-respecting and clear-headed child. How could she suddenly bring a man home?
In her opinion, it was even difficult for her daughter to find a boyfriend, let alone bring someone home. And besides, given Suri’s personality, if she really had found a boyfriend, she wouldn’t have failed to mention it to her mother they were always open with each other.
It was not easy for Sherry Woods to raise and educate her daughter to be successful.
Suri’s father had come from poverty and relied on Sherry Woods to gradually build his career. To be with Suri’s father, she had even broken ties with her family.
She was an able woman, and her husband depended on her power and ability to surpass her. But in the end, she had been let down.
Despite her independence, beauty, and understanding nature, she still couldn’t prevent Suri’s father from changing his heart.
She Imew that all she had lost was the novelty. Suri’s father had had another woman, inferior to Sherry Woods in every way, but there was one thing Sherry Woods could not compete with – the other woman could provide him with novelty.
As a result, their relationship had reached an irreconcilable point.
To be with the woman he loved, Suri’s father decided to take company funds and live somewhere else.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred en route, and the transferred property eventually returned to Sherry Woods’ hands.
Over these years, she had been devoting all her heart to nurturing her daughter.
When the couple divorced, Suri was nearly in her teens and remembered everything. Perhaps due to the influence of her parents’ relationship, she had never dabbled in love but devoted herself entirely to her career..
