Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 32

“Matilda, where is Juliette? You should be coming with her, right? What happened?” Kevin sighed and clad her with his suit jacket.

“Thank you. I am fine.” Matilda forced out a smile to reply.

“Well, do you need a doctor? I can ask my primary care provider to conduct a check-up for you. I can get you a new dress and I think you may need to get yourself changed. You look too awkward to show up in public right now.”

Matilda was about to refuse. But at a second thought, she found herself necessary to get changed first.

Kevin took her into the suite reserved for him out of safety concern. He told her to rest for a while. Then he left to deal with some private matters.

After he walked out of the suite, Matilda stood up and looked around the suite curiously. She was amazed when noticing how privilege a life he was living.

Both the primary care provider and a servant working for the Armstrong family had arrived soon. They brought her a brand-new dress with intact wrappings from Juliette’s closet. The care provider cleaned up her wound and then left with respect after giving her some advice.

Matilda walked into the bathroom. She took a shower and groomed herself again. She put on the new dress and looked into the mirror. The urge to revenge started to grow in her mind.

She had been humble but still got badly bullied by Juliette. At the thought of that, the hatred against her was getting stronger.

Actually, Matilda had planned to hook up with Preston, the fiancé of Juliette. But now she changed her mind—she decided to spend more efforts on Kevin. She was planning to be the stepmother of Juliette! If she got it done as she wished, she would be able to see the chance to revenge herself.

…

Two hours later, Kevin pushed the door open to teeter in. He was rendered dizzy because of drinking too much with his friends.

Ever since the tough quarrel with his wife, Aminah, he had been living in this suite away from home for a long time. Nor did he intend to go back home tonight.

The marriage between them had been in an awful situation. What was more, he still missed Erica, the mother of Jessica, from the bottom of his heart. So the gap between them had been gaping.

His phone kept ringing. He knew it was a call from his wife. But he simply powered off his phone.

Now it reminded him of Erica once again, who was overwhelming his mind at this moment.

Every time he recalled the past, he felt suffocated. Erica had been tender and considerate. There wasn’t even a quarrel happening between them from the beginning of their marriage to the end of divorce.

Jessica looked so much alike her mother that Kevin didn’t even have the courage to look at her face, fearing that it might remind him of the painful story once again.

Matilda took a deep breath and threw herself into his arms.

Dirven by drunkenness, Kevin mistook her as Erica. He held her up into his arms and walked into the bedroom.

…

The scandal between Matilda and Juliette had been spread all over the city. Jessica couldn’t help sneering at the thought of that.

Though Matilda still remained more kindness than Juliette, she still appeared to be greedy for something belonging to others. That was why she always got bullied by Juliette.
