Chapter 19

Author: Gu Lingfei

“I’m taking a trip back to my hometown after meeting your parents this weekend. I want to chop down a few bamboos to make the rails.”

Zachary replied faintly, “No need, I’ll get someone to install the rails tomorrow.”

The lady of the York house wanted to go all the way to her hometown to chop down some bamboo and haul them back for laundry-airing purposes. The only person who could come up with this is Serenity.

“Sure. Thanks.”

“This is also my home.”

“Yeah,” Serenity answered before c

Chapter 4951
Marvin glanced at Enid, then at Alex. Enid looked straight at Alex before saying to her niece, “Dr. Levitt must have misunderstood your relationship with Alex. He thinks you don’t accept his feelings because of Alex, doesn’t he?“Because Alex is more handsome than he is, comes from a better family, is very capable, and is earning more money than he is, too. He can’t compare to him, so he’s placed all the blame for your not loving him on Alex.”Sheila laughed awkwardly as she looked at Alex before saying to him apologetically, “Sorry, Alex. It’s my fault Kent has misunderstood you.“I’ve already explained everything clearly, but he still doesn’t believe it.”“Sheila, since Dr. Levitt has misunderstood your relationship with Alex, you guys should just pretend to be in a relationship to make him give up once and for all and embark on a new romance. Then, he’ll finally stop bothering you.“That way, there’s no need to become enemies. Of course, if he minds that you’re with Alex and wa

It tasted as bitter as his emotions at that moment.The words Sheila spoke before she left meant she had guessed what he and Mary had done the night before. She probably knew something through Mary as well. Kent did touch Mary. Although they did not cross the final line, he had touched and kissed her, taking full advantage.Sheila was particular about purity. Since he had touched other women, she would never accept him.Why did he have to drink alcohol?If he were not drunk, he would not have mistaken Mary for Sheila.Kent utterly regretted it.Sheila rode home.The Joneses’ family clinic shutters were almost fully closed. Only the doors in the middle were accessible. Light was pouring out of it, so Marvin was probably still on the first floor.There was a new e-bike parked outside. Sheila thought it looked familiar, like the one Alex had been riding earlier.As expected, she heard Alex’s voice inside.He was saying something, which made her aunt and uncle laugh merrily.S

“There’s nothing more than that. If you insist on putting a label on us, we’re just neighbors and ordinary friends.”Kent laughed dryly. “I’m a man, Sheila. Men understand each other well. The way Alex looks at you isn’t normal. He’s definitely interested in you.“I suspect that he bought the unit above yours to be your neighbor on purpose and get closer to you.”Units at Westbrooke Gardens were not cheap, yet Alex was able to secure one easily and even paid for it in full. Moreover, it was a penthouse.Kent did not know whether it was Alex’s money or if he had gotten it from his cousin or his cousin’s wife. His cousin’s wife owned all the stores on Westbrooke Street. The rent she received monthly was enough to buy a house at Westbrooke Gardens.“You’re overthinking it, Kent. Alex really isn’t who you describe him to be.“Let’s not involve other people in this, Kent. I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart. I hope you can give it some thought.“Uncle Marvin treats you as his

“Oh, where’s Dr. Levitt? Is he not here yet?”“He’ll be here soon. You can go on with your errand, Alex. I’ll head inside to get a more secluded seat.”Alex wanted to follow her inside, but his reason told him it was not a suitable time to create a commotion. Therefore, he said, “Okay. I’ll head off first.”He left on his e-bike. After Alex left, Sheila entered the cafe. As soon as she chose a spot, Kent arrived. Kent walked inside and spotted Sheila sitting in the corner. He walked toward her and said, “You’re faster than me on your bike, Sheila.”“It’s only a given because it is more convenient, and I left earlier. Meanwhile, you drove a car and were stuck in traffic for a moment.”A waiter approached them and asked for their orders.Kent ordered a cup of coffee, while Sheila got fruit juice. “Are you drinking coffee at night, Kent? Won’t it affect your sleep? I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine. Half a cup is enough to keep me alert all day. Meanwhile, tea doesn’t have much

About ten minutes later, Sheila parked her ride outside the cafe Kent mentioned. She took off her helmet and grabbed her keys. Just as she was about to enter the cafe, she saw a familiar figure. It was Alex.Alex was also riding an e-bike with a red bag placed on the footrest. Sheila could not see what it was exactly, but it was probably materials for his house’s renovation.“Sheila!”Alex looked surprised. He parked by the roadside. It was new, as it still had a temporary license plate. He probably just bought it that day. Getting the actual license plate would take some time.“Have you clocked off, Alex? Are you going shopping?”Sheila asked with a smile. She thought, ‘Aren’t most CEOs busy and always spend most of their time outside? They probably have meetings until late at night before they can go home.’Why did Alex look more relaxed and even finish work earlier than she did?However, she did not voice her questions out loud.“Yeah. I left my office at half past five.

After Mary finished her food and was about to leave, Kent stopped her and transferred fifty thousand dollars to her through his phone. It amounted to a few months of Mary’s salary.“This is my compensation to you, Mary. I’m sorry. I was a bastard for taking advantage of you last night.”Mary saw the money coming in and said with an expressionless face, “I’m not a prostitute, Dr. Levitt. I won’t accept this money.”After speaking, she left and headed for Kent’s clinic first.Kent also went to the clinic afterward. However, he could not pay attention to work because of what happened last night. Luckily, there were not many patients that day.Night fell, and Sheila was about to get off work.Kent let his two nurses leave first. He had to close the clinic early and go to the hospital to wait for Sheila. After stepping out of the clinic, Mary’s colleague whispered to her, “Dr. Levitt is weird today. There seems to be something weighing on his mind. Do you think the clinic is in trou
