A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 25

When Julia got home, Consuela had just finished cooking breakfast. She glanced at Julia and rolled her eyes. "Would you come here if it weren't time for breakfast?"

In response, Julia laughed.

"I made you porridge. You drank way too much last night, so you should eat light for breakfast," Consuela said as she handed Julia the bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

"How did you know that I drank a lot?" Julia blurted out, immediately feeling stupid after she asked.

Samuel must have been worried, so he called Consuela again.

She lowered her head and quietly ate her porridge.

"Julia..." Consuela stressed her name. She wasn't about to let Julia get out of this easily. "How do you think of Samuel?"

"What do you mean?" Julia stopped eating and stared at Consuela with a quizzical expression.

"Just tell me!" Consuela insisted. She couldn't help but scold Julia inwardly for being so stupid. He was such a good man. Why didn't she cherish him?

"Well, he..." Julia stammered and then she smiled. "He's always so cheeky and playful around me, so I never seem to know what he's thinking of. I do know that he's a good man. Honestly, I have to thank him for what happened yesterday."

"Julia, don't you know? He is always serious when he's with other people. He's only like that with you," Consuela said.

"Really?" Julia asked, pausing for a while. "Maybe, it's because I already know him so well."

"Don't you think he will make a good..." But before Consuela could finish, she stopped and sighed. "Never mind. It's nothing."

"What's wrong with you? You're so mysterious today," Julia remarked doubtfully.

Before Consuela could answer, Julia's phone suddenly rang. It was Mandy.

She hesitated for a while before picking it up. She immediately heard Mandy's sharp voice piercing through the phone. "Julia, how's the money I asked you to prepare? I'm still waiting for it so that I can buy Jean a house. Hurry up, I don't have the patience to wait for you."

Julia tightened her hand around the phone and forced a bitter smile on her face. "Don't worry," she said through gritted teeth. "I won't forget what I promised to give you."

She checked the clock for the time and added, "I'll come to you at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Without waiting for Mandy to reply, she hung up. Consuela could see that Julia was bothered and sad, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to give her that much money?

She may be your mother, but you've treated her so well for the past few years. You don't really need to—"

"Well, you don't have to say anything," Julia interrupted with a bitter smile on her face. "I've already made up my mind."

Consuela didn't bother to argue with her anymore. She seldom intervened in Julia's decisions. Although she was Julia's agent, their relationship was more of a friendship.
