Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Her cry pierced through the room.

All eyes, including Juan's and Debra's, turned to her.

In their eyes, Shelia was a rude and uncultured woman.

The old gardener bent down to pick up the scattered roses and apologized profusely.

Feeling the stares around her, Shelia quickly changed her attitude. "I'm sorry. I was in haste. Are you okay, sir?"

Debra watched from nearby.

Even though Shelia tried to fix it, it only came off as insincere.

Shelia also noticed Debra beside Juan.

"How did she get here?" Juan frowned.

Given his expression, he seemed clueless about Shelia's arrival.

Debra wondered if Shelia came on her own.

Debra stayed silent.

This plot was different from that of her last life. Juan brought Shelia to the party, where Shelia impressed Caleb Houston. It led to a smooth path overseas and success after graduation with support from Juan and Caleb.

Debra thought that Shelia would not show up this time.

Yet here she was.

"Mr. Nichols!" Hearing the commotion, Joe rushed in.

Juan's tone was curt. "Who let her in?"

"It was me." Joe bowed his head. "I thought Miss Miles could help you."

Juan rubbed his temples.

He used to be very tolerant of Shelia.

But in this situation, Shelia shouldn't have appeared.

"Miss Miles isn't familiar with the place. Go check on her," Debra said, taking a sip of champagne.

Juan saw Shelia's scared looks, and he couldn't bear to leave her alone to handle the situation. "I'll be back in a moment."

Debra said nothing.

That was expected.

He could never let go of Shelia.

Juan went over and asked, "How did you come here?"

Shelia lowered her head, looking pitiful. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to see the event."

Seeing her tear up, Juan couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

In a sense, Shelia was trained by him, and he had seen all her efforts.

"I'll have Joe take you back."

Seeing Juan about to leave, Shelia hurriedly grabbed his sleeve. "Mr. Nichols, can I stay?"

Juan frowned.

In the past, Shelia was always obedient and aware of her identity, never crossing that boundary.

Shelia felt his displeasure and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nichols. I..."

Juan relented in the end. "You can stay. This event could be helpful for your overseas studies."

Shelia finally broke into a sweet smile.

"Can I stay with you?"
