"If Evelyn hadn't told me you were just a gigolo, I would have actually fallen for your act that day!"
Fiona muttered to herself resentfully, took out her phone, and sent a text to Evelyn:
[Evelyn, didn't you say Melanie always bullies you? I'll get back at her for you this time. I guarantee I'll humiliate her. Who knows... it might even make Dominic divorce her!]
After sending the text, Fiona clutched her phone, her face full of excitement.
***
First Central Hospital.
After getting out of the car, Melanie took the initiative to buy some fruit from a shop across the street.
Preston stayed close by and tried to pay at the register, but Melanie stopped him.
"Just think of it as me visiting a friend's grandmother. Let me pay for this, it's not much."
For Melanie, even though Preston was the one who asked for help, having him spend ninety thousand dollars on clothes for her was too much. She felt she should at least buy the fruit herself.
Seeing Melanie's insistence, Preston didn't push it and let her pay.
They walked side-by-side down the hospital corridor, with Preston carrying both bags of fruit.
Passing doctors, nurses, and patients' families all gave them a second glance.
Their expressions clearly said—what a handsome man and beautiful woman. They look perfect together.
Meanwhile, Tessa was waiting impatiently in the VIP room.
She was finally going to meet her future granddaughter-in-law! Faking an illness had been worth it.
The truth was, Preston had never told her he had a girlfriend.
Tessa had heard all about it from Gabriel.
Lying in the hospital bed, Tessa couldn't help but imagine what her future granddaughter-in-law would be like.
Knock, knock!
