Chapter 1059
[ 542 words ]
“Getting a wife isn’t easy, and he dares to divorce? How arrogant of him!”
“I heard his parents are still alive, so he was in a rush to get back. And also…” Melvin Steele shook his head as he answered, “I heard he got into an argument with his adoptive parents, not sure about the details. You can ask him when he’s back.”
“Oh,” Juniper Payne responded lightly, not asking further. “Alright, you can go.”
Melvin gave Juniper a long look, muttered unhappily, “You heartless little thing,” and sped off on his motorcycle.
Soon after, a black sports car slowly pulled up. A tall, handsome, and gentle-looking young man stepped out.
Juniper remembered him. He was the kept man her sister Coralie Quill had, Channing Irving.
“Ms. Quill, I’m here to pick you up,” Channing said, standing by the car door, looking at Coralie with deep affection.
“Hold on.” Coralie waved at him, then walked over to Juniper and handed her a box. “Juniper, a gift from me.”
“?”
“I know you’re not short of money, but this is the thought that counts.” Coralie smiled and explained, “Someone offered this as collateral at the casino recently, and I thought it suited you perfectly, so I bought it.”
“Thanks, Coralie.” Juniper opened the box to find the ruby jewelry set. The gems were huge, practically the size of pigeon eggs.
“You be a good girl and go to class. I’ll come find you after I sort out the casino business.” Coralie took a step forward, wanting to hug her sister.
Unfortunately, Shanley Schwartz lacked any social awareness. He stood right beside them like a solid stone pillar, completely in the way.
“Ahem.” Coralie coughed deliberately. “Mr. Schwartz, I don’t bite. Do you really need to guard her so closely?”
Shanley’s mouth twitched as he stepped aside.
“I’m leaving now, Juniper.” Coralie pulled Juniper into a tight bear hug and couldn’t resist kissing her cheek again. “Don’t worry about Mom and Dad’s situation. We’re here.
This time, they would definitely protect her.
་
“Yeah.” Juniper patted Coralie’s back and smiled. She suddenly asked, “Coralie, is he really just your kept man?”
Coralie stiffened slightly, a strange panic flashing across her face before she forced a smile. “What else? Did you think he’d be your brother-in-law?”
Before Juniper could ask, Coralie continued, “The man I loved is buried in the ground.”
Huh?
Juniper was stunned for a few seconds. Before she could ask
more coralie had already let go and walked toward the sports car. Her silhouette suddenly looked a bit lonely.
Oops. She must have poked Coralie’s sore spot.
Coralie had no real feelings for Channing, but what about him?
Juniper narrowed her eyes, looking at Channing with interest.
He took Coralie’s bag, opened the passenger door, and carefully shielded her head as she got in.
Every detail was almost perfect. Especially the way he looked at Coralie-deep and passionate, not as simple as a regular “kept man.”
Tsk. Their relationship was more tangled than a ball of yarn.
“They’re gone. Still staring?” As Juniper was lost in thought, Shanley suddenly stepped in front of her, blocking her view. “Is that person that good-looking?”
“Yeah,” Juniper replied on purpose.
Shanley tugged at his tie, remaining silent. He was frustrated. Admittedly, the toy boy Ms. Quill kept was top-tier. Good looks, great build Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caught the attention of his little ungrateful girlfriend.
