"Lemuel Lawson, you should be aware that you have to marry her! Not me!" Wilson finally got mad. He shouted out Lemuel's name.
Lemuel looked even colder. His handsome face turned to be evil and his thin lips looked so cruel and cold-blooded, "You want me to marry your used one?"
Hearing that, Verena was rendered so embarrassed. She felt like being slapped. However, she had no choice but to put up with it.
"So then?" Lemuel stared at him coldly, "You want me to marry her? Impossible!"
After saying that, he moved to go upstairs.
Wilson sighed and looked at Verena, speechless, "I do want to help you. And I have tried my best. Now it's up to you!"
Lemuel didn't even want to hear his words. Besides, Lemuel also hated him. So it didn't work no matter how hard Wilson tried.
"I am going upstairs now. Just think about it."
Only she and Sammy were left on the table. Sammy was still smiling while enjoying his tofu with spoon. For him, he was too young to understand the conversation between the adults. He kept smacking his lips white eating. He even handed the spoon of tofu in front of Verena, "Miss Pretty, it tastes so good! Just try it!"
Verena smiled and opened her mouth to eat the tofu, "Tell me, little Sammy, what else do you want then?"
"Fish!"
"Okay, let me get some for you!"
While feeing him, Verena was eating herself. Her mouth was stuffed with food.
Of course, she had never thought about suicide. Though her life was tough, she still tried to live on no matter she felt painful or happy. Since she chose to live on, she would like to live a happy one.
So she would like to relax herself and kept going with a bright smile. No matter how hard her life stroke, she still insisted on loving herself as there was no one else cared about her anymore.
She stayed tough and kept wearing a warm smile on her face. Then she continued with the food till she finished stuffing her staving stomach. Though she looked tough, it felt sad still.
Verena sat on her bed the next morning. She bit her lips while staring at her phone, feeling awkward.
Wilson had been clear about his own attitude last night. He was right, she had no time to waste.
Now Wilson was getting worse. So she had to make Lemuel marry her before the cancer struck Wilson again.
However, she still had work to do. What was worse, she was late on her first day and today she needed to ask for a leave. It would be too awkward for her to mention it.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Eden. Verena's hand couldn't help getting stiff. She gritted and still picked it up, "Hello?"
"It's me!" his voice sounded as soft as falling snows, "You haven't got up?"
"What?" she was stunned and her face went blushed. She stammered, "I haven't…"
Eden smiled, "Okay, actually, we don't have work to do today and also in the following two days. You don't need to work. Just take a rest."
She paused and hurried to answer, "Okay, got it!"
