Chester suddenly shouted behind Corinne.
Corinne stopped and turned around.
Francine was a little surprised. She looked at Chester, then at Corinne suspiciously.
“I mean, if that’s okay with you,” said Chester cautiously when Corinne made no replies.
Corinne deliberated for a few seconds before nodding and saying, “Okay. We can talk outside the yard. It’s getting
stuffy in here, so I could use some fresh air.”
“Sure thing,” said Chester with a nod.
After that, they all went down the stairs together.
Once at the entrance, Chester turned and said, “Francine, thanks for seeing me off, but I’d like to have a private
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtword with Corinne. Please don’t follow me out.”
As much as Francine was not happy with the request, she did not dare object Chester.
“Oh… Okay,” she said with a nod. She then watched helplessly as Chester and Corinne walked out of the door
before quickly running over to the floor-to-ceiling window to spy on them.
Francine was quite angry when she found out Chester used to have a crush on Corinne, but she calmed down a
little after telling herself Corinne would never fight over Chester with her since she was with Jeremy.
‘It looks like Chester hasn’t given up on Corinne yet. Ooh, this is not good!’ thought Francine. If this was any other
guy, she would have snitched on Corinne to Jeremy already, but since this was Chester she was dealing with, she
decided to let it slide. Only god knew what Jeremy would do to him once he found out what happened.
The mansion’s huge yard was filled with all sorts of trees and flowers, and at that moment, they were made even
more beautiful by the moonlight washing over them.
Corinne looked up in a trance at the moon hanging high above the sky.
“Hey, it’s a full moon!” said Chester after following suit.
This shook Corinne out of her trance. She turned toward him and said, “I almost forgot you’re here too. What is it
you wanted to talk to me about?”
Chester frowned. After a while, he said, “I want to ask you something.”
Corinne gave him a curt nod. “Okay, what is it?”
“That guy… I mean, Francine’s brother… Is he good to you?” he asked in a bitter tone.
Corinne was a little surprised by the question. “Why do you ask?”
“I heard from Francine that her brother has been away on a business trip for the past several days. But what kind
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof husband goes on a business trip when his wife is lying sick in the hospital? I just think that if a husband really
loves his wife, he would’ve stayed by her side when she needed him the most.”
After a brief moment of silence, Corinne smiled and said, “Thanks for your concern, but he’s actually quite good to
me.”
“Corinne, I know your husband is a very wealthy man, but you should just leave if you don’t feel loved or happy
here. No amount of material wealth is worth giving up on your happiness. You’ll regret it in the future if you don’t
leave,” said Chester worriedly.
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “So the only reason you think I’m staying is because of how wealthy my husband is?”
Chester realized he misspoke, and he quickly tried to rectify himself. “No… What I mean is, I don’t think you and
him are compatible. He’s ten years older than you. You guys won’t be able to talk about the same thing or have the
same values! Not to mention, he doesn’t seem like he cares about you at all. Why stay?”
Corinne smiled faintly. “I’m perfectly well aware of what I’m doing. This is my marriage, so I alone have the right to
make a call on whether I should stay or leave. But thank you for your concern.”
