Chapter 637
Barbara took two steps forward and suddenly turned her head around to glare at Fia.
“Mrs. Maxwell, are you setting me up?”
Fia smiled with a brow raised. “How can you say that? This is something regarding your beloved sister. Shouldn’t
you be saying that I’m lending a hand?”
Barbara’s expression was livid. “You are young yet your schemes are many!”
“To have married such a man and have a status that many women admire, could I be sweet and silly?”
Fia’s smile was heartless.
In the afternoon, Barbara went to see Britney in the hospital during the lunch break.
She did not tell her about Fia seeking her out for a chat.
As she fed her, she secretly sized her up.

A hint of annoyance flitted across Britney’s face. “It’s just as it is.”
Barbara was paying attention to her and caught her annoyance, but was unable to tell why it was there.
As an elder sister, she asked concernedly, “Is there still no improvement in your relationship. with him?”
“Barbara.” Britney suppressed the messy feelings in her heart and smiled at Barbara shyly. It’s been so many years
and I have always been chasing after him yet he never once looked me straight in the eyes.”
“When you were working with him in the research center, could it be that he never changed his opinion of you?”
“He…” Britney acted quite upset. “Treats me quite well, just like a younger sister.”
Barbara felt her heart ache. This sister of hers had always been timid, yet for Peter, she went out of the country.
It’s been so many years, even a piece of rock would have warmed up!
“Britney, have you ever talked to him about your feelings toward him?”
Britney was stunned. She did not know if the real Britney ever confessed to Peter.
Every time the real Britney saw Peter, she would subconsciously lower her gaze, so she
shouldn’t have had the guts to confess.
“No, I don’t dare to.”
Barbara hit Britney’s hand hard. “Tell him!
“Barbara?”
“I have called him to come over to see you. Take the opportunity while he’s pitying you due to your injury and
properly tell him about your love of so many years!”
Esme, who was pretending to be Britney, was speechless.
She did not want to say it at all.
She couldn’t wish for more than everyone being against her getting with Peter!
She could not go against Peter alone!
If all Thomases did not allow for her to interact with Peter, wouldn’t she then have a chance to fight for a new path!

Barbara said with heartache, “You are a whole twelve years younger than him and have always been chasing in his
footsteps. How could you not feel tired? So, just quickly make things clear. If he can accept your feelings, then you
can be together! If he doesn’t accept them, then just let him go! In the future, don’t interact with him anymore!”
“Barbara.” Britney looked at Barbara pitifully. “After returning to the country, I did not work
in the research center because I wanted to start over.”
Barbara was speechless.
“It is already very shameful for me to have wasted so many years. I don’t want to tell him. about my secret crush.”
Barbara was thoroughly stunned. Half a year ago when her sister was in touch with her, she was still saying how
she had ascertained that she would only ever have eyes for Peter and would always accompany him until he
noticed her.
Clearly her sister’s love for Peter was as solid as a rock then but the Britney before her wanted to give up?
Thinking about what happened during the gathering last night, she could not help but look stern.
“Britney, tell me honestly. Have you fallen for someone else?”
