NovelEnglishChapter 460
The doorbell rang. Rebecca and Wanda both turned toward the door.
"Becca, didn't you say this apartment only has one unit per floor and that not even a cat could wander up here?"
Wanda asked.
Rebecca didn't know what to say. She got up and said, "I'll go and check."
Then, she quickly headed to the door, thoughts racing. Weren't Vespera and Dominic exhausted from the
business trip? Did they not have jet lag? Why couldn't they hold back? And who the hell was ringing the doorbell?
Did they not know how complex the situation was?
Rebecca opened the door furiously and saw that the person standing outside was none other than Raymond. She
greeted, "Mr. Chandler, it's you."
Raymond was just as surprised. He said, "Ms. Snyder, what brings you here this early?"
Rebecca didn't let Raymond enter. Instead, she slipped out and pulled him aside. She leaned in and whispered,
"Mr. Chandler, Vespera's mother is here. | think it's better if you cback later."
There was no way Rebecca could explain all this. If even Raymond could waltz in unannounced, what about
Dominic? Dominic would probably just enter like he owned the place. And if that happened, Wanda would
explode.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment Raymond heard that Vespera's mother was around, he understood the situation. He nodded and
turned to leave.
However, before Raymond could get far, Wanda stepped out and asked, "Who is it?"
Raymond paused, then turned back with a composed smile. He greeted, "Good morning, I'm Raymond."
Wanda looked puzzled. Then, Raymond calmly made up an explanation, saying, "Ms. Gildon wasn't feeling well
last night. Mr. Reid heard and cto check on her. She had a high fever, so it wasn't safe for her to be alone.
So, he stayed to take care of her."
The second Raymond said that, Raymond knew exactly who he was. Her expression didn't soften. A fever? Took
care of Vespera?
Wanda didn't believe Raymond, but she just replied, her gaze landing on the stuff
in his hand, "Is that so? And you're here now because..."
Raymond caught on quickly and said with a smile, "I brought sfood. Even though Ms. Gildon's fever has
subsided, she should still eat something."
Rebecca felt numb. She had said Vespera went to work, but Raymond said Vespera had fallen ill. Aside from that,
there were noises coming from the bedroom as well. The cat was also still pawing at the door. How did
everything go downhill this fast? s
To Rebecca's surprise, Wanda said, as if she suddenly accepted the explanation, "So, she really is sick. Becca
tried to cover for her, and neither of them cout. That's why I got the wrong idea."
Rebecca was confused. Did Wanda buy the explanation, or was she just playing along?
Rebecca couldn't tell, but she quickly responded, "Mrs. Gildon, | misunderstood too. | panicked and didn't want
you to worry, so | made something up. If Mr. Chandler hadn't shown up, we would all still be misunderstanding
the situation." "Go and call them out," said Wanda.
Rebecca answered, "Alright, I'll call them right away."
Nonetheless, once she turned around, her smile dropped. What should she do? Should she actually call Vespera
and Dominic out and have them face Wanda?
Dragging her feet to the bedroom door, Rebecca stopped behind the cat and knocked on the door. She said,
"Vera, Mr. Chandler brought breakfast. He says eating will help. you recover faster from your ever. Let Mr. Reid,
who has taken care of you all night, cout too. Everyone's waiting outside." s
Vespera froze upon hearing that. Dominic pulled down the hand she had used earlier to cover his mouth and
said, "It looks like we have to go out."
Vespera knelt on the bed, her mind running quickly. If they were going out there, how could they make it
believable?
Vespera glanced at Dominic and
warned, "We'll continue the topic next time. Right now I'm going to lean on o as we step out. Stick to the script.
Just say | was sick and
you stayed to take care of me. If you
go off-script even once, | swear..." s
She reached out and pretended to strangle him before continuing, "I'll strangle you."
Calmly, Dominic replied, "It would be better if you hold a knife to my throat." When Vespera heard that, she
nearly choked on her own breath.
After a pause, Vespera released Dominic and cupped his face. With a fierce expression but gentle smile, she said,
"How could | ever be rough with you? I'm trying to be reasonable. Just do as | say this time, alright?"
Seeing that Dominic didn't react, Vespera planted a kiss on his cheek and repeated, "Alright, Dom?"
