NovelEnglishChapter 463
Vespera went along pretending to have a fever. Honestly, with how sore her body felt and how wobbly her legs
were, pretending to be sick didn't take any acting skills. Rebecca and Wanda helped Vespera back into bed.
Earlier, before stepping out, Vespera had opened all the windows to air out the lingering traces of intimacy. She
had also hidden the now-stained sheets as discreetly as possible. However, she missed one crucial detail.
The tube of ointment had rolled near the pillow and was now lying there in plain sight. As Rebecca helped
Vespera adjust the covers, her sharp gaze caught the item. She was just about to ask about it when her gaze
happened to land on the label.
Instantly, Revecca froze, and her face turned crimson.
The label read, "For external use only. For the treatment of redness and swelling."
Where was the redness and swelling? Who was red and swollen?
At that moment, Vespera shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position. Her brows knit together as if
she were feeling sore.
Rebecca bit her lips and imagined what had happened. She thought that it was as expected of a man who
always ate nourishing and restorative foods. Dominic was too powerful.
"Becca, why is your face so red? Are you catching a cold?" Wanda asked, walking over from the other side of the
bed.
It was only then that Vespera looked at Rebecca.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, I'm fine," responded Rebecca quickly. She bent down and shoved the ointment under the pillow before
straightening up and continuing, "I'm not catching a cold."
Vespera didn't know what to say, while Wanda didn't question it. Wanda just said, "That's good then." Rebecca
could tell that Wanda had something to talk to Vespera about, so she said, "Mrs. Gildon, I'll go and clean up the
table."
And with that, Rebecca left the room, leaving behind Wanda and Vespera.
Vespera felt a pang of guilt rising in her chest, but Wanda didn't scold Vespera. Instead, Wanda sat down at the
edge of the bed and studied Vespera's expression for a moment. She then asked, "Do you like him a lot?" Did
Vespera like Dominic? She took a moment to really think. And then, she nodded and answered, "I do." Even if she
knew there was no future, even if she kept warning herself not to fall for him, the truth was that she couldn't
have done something so intimate with someone she didn't like.
Wanda asked, "You've already reached this step. What do you plan to do in the future?"
Vespera shook her head. That was all she could do. She couldn't bring herself to say that she would end the
relationship. Ever since her relationship with Dominic changed, she had never dared to think about what came
next.
Maybe it really was just hormones. Vespera liked Dominic, and her heart raced whenever she was with him.
However, such a relationship wouldn't survive the real world. It would all just be a joke.
Wanda's disappointment showed
clearly now. You didn't even think it through, and you just..." She paused, pinching the bridge of her nose as she
continued, "You're a woman. You have to protect yourself of you don't see a future with him, why would you treat
it so casually? Is this what | raised you to do?"

"I'm sorry. Please don't be angry," mumbled Vespera. Her cheeks burned with shame. She had expected the
scolding anyway.
"How could | not be angry?" Wanda's
voice cracked. She took a long
breath and calmed herself before continuing From
now on, you need
to be honest with yourself. If you aren't planning to be with him long-term, leave. Quit this job and walk away.
But if you do care about him enough to take the risk..."

She sighed, feeling helpless and worried, and added, "Take that risk. Don't pretend everything is fine when it
isn't. Don't run from it. You must face it and own it. No matter what happens, your dad and | will always be here.
We'll always stand behind you."
Vespera's eyes welled up. She reached forward and hugged Wanda, arms wrapped around the latter's neck. She
murmured, "I'm sorry."
Wanda patted Vespera on the back and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for. I'm just afraid you'll get hurt.
Initially, | hoped that you and Benjamin would end up together, but you ended up meeting someone whose
family stands even higher than the Munoz family. Maybe you. truly were born to be a wealthy heiress." s
If Vespera could return to the Locke family, would the Reid family still have any reason to object? Perhaps it
was tto let her go back.
