President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 448

I tightly clenched my hands into fists, and my teeth bit my lips. I told myself again and again in my heart that I could leave with the last few words.

But I couldn’t.

Then the door behind me was pushed open again.

I heard someone come in without knocking.

I didn’t see who it was, but when I saw Sean’s face behind the desk turning warm from cold, I understood.

Then I saw Rachel come out behind me and take a look at me and walk up to Sean.

He reached for her hand.

Rachel looked at me and said jealously, “what are you talking about?”

“Nothing. She’s leaving tomorrow.”

Sean said lightly.

I saw them holding hands and felt so heartache that it was hard to breathe.

I stood where I was and seemed to have finally found a reason to speak. I bowed and clenched my fist and said to Sean, “Mr. Jessop, I wish you a speedy recovery. I’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”

With that, I turned and left.

I didn’t want to see them.

If they were acting, they won and I gave in.

I went back to my room and finished my work and left a message to Linda, “I’ll be back tomorrow. Let’s meet at the company.”

I turned off the computer and started packing. I had lived here for a long time, but I had very little luggage. I wore servants’ clothes here and I had more medicine than my clothes.

I sat there and watched a pile of medicine and my heart ached. I tried for a month but I lost in the end.

I changed clothes and went out to the kitchen to collect water. There was only Sean living in the manor, and Rachel was the only one who could get close to Sean. Other servants had nothing to do at night.

As soon as I went out, I saw a group of servants in the kitchen.

They saw me and waved to me friendly, “Becky, here you are!”

“Yes.”

Although I usually worked in the house and didn’t see them very often, everyone was quite friendly to me.

When I went to get the water, they kept talking.

“I think Rachel is vain.”

“I think so. How could Mr. Jessop like her? He is just teasing her. He’ll get tired of her in a few days.”

“Yes! I don’t think she’s special. How could she be liked by Mr. Jessop?”

“Who knows! She may look naive but she’s flirtatious.”

I had been through a lot so I was not surprised by their comments on Rachel.

I took the water and left.

I stayed in the room for a while. I thought it was my last day in manor. I had been here for so long, but I hadn’t wandered around. I was free today.

I put on my coat and went to the back garden. It was the end of winter. Although there was no snow in the garden, it was bare and ugly.

Even so, because of my profession, I could see that spring here should be very beautiful through the pruning and arrangement of these shrubs.

I walked alone in the garden and came across that the plants had sprouted.

I walked around the garden and when I was about to go out, I looked up and saw Sean’s bedroom on the second floor.

The light was on. He was sitting in front of the window.

We were so far away that I couldn’t see what he was looking at.
