The Wife He Forgot to Marry novel Chapter 115

The car pulled up in front of Winona’s apartment building.

Something suddenly occurred to Winona, and she asked Stefan, “Mr. Goddard, I never asked. What was the favor you needed my help with today?”

Stefan glanced at the car that had been tailing them the entire way in the rearview mirror and smiled. “You already did. You can go on up.”

Winona looked at him, puzzled. Seeing he had no intention of explaining, she didn’t press further. “I have something to return to you. Could you wait here for just a moment?”

A few minutes later, Winona returned with a wool shawl. “This is the one you lent me. I’ve had it dry-cleaned.”

Stefan smiled, taking the shawl. He said his goodbyes and instructed the driver to leave.

Back in her apartment, before she could even have a sip of water, Winona’s phone rang. It was Yulen.

“Winona, you’re back at your apartment again?”

Detecting the annoyance in his tone, she retorted, “Your dinner with the Shipleys tonight—was it really just about a partnership? The way Mr. and Mrs. Shipley looked at you didn’t seem like they were just looking at a business partner.”

Yulen was silent for a long moment before sidestepping the question. “I’m not going to fight with you over this. If you’re in a bad mood and want to stay at the apartment tonight, that’s fine. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow.”

With that, he hung up.

Winona paid his mood no mind. After washing up, she went straight to bed.

The next day, just as she arrived at the office, a colleague bumped into her.

“I’m so sorry, so sorry! I didn’t mean to.”

The person who had run into her was Corin, a researcher from a branch of the Goddard Group. He was a shy young man who usually kept to himself in the office.

Winona told him it was fine and was about to head to her desk when she noticed his anxious expression. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

Winona nodded and returned to her desk to get back to work.

Wren, the colleague sitting next to Corin, leaned over. “Why did you ask her for help? Aren’t you afraid she’d sabotage you?”

Corin now saw Winona as his idol and immediately defended her. “Don’t say that about her. There was never any proof she did those things before. Besides, she’s brilliant. If it weren’t for her, I’d probably be stuck here late every night for the next month.”

Wren scoffed. “She can only fool a simpleton like you.”

That evening, Yulen sent Winona a message saying he would be waiting for her at her apartment at 8 p.m.

Winona didn’t reply. Instead, she went to Helena’s house.

Helena had been working at the hospital’s satellite clinic for the past few days, and the long commute meant she usually didn’t get home until late at night.

Winona had bought some groceries and went to Helena’s to cook. Nikita hadn’t been well enough to cook lately, but she hated spending money, so she had let the housekeeper go.
