Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 2

Maureen stared at Gianna at length in a daze.

She did not understand what exactly had gone wrong.

Just then in the car, a specific phone ringtone suddenly rang.

The phone continued to ring for a long while.

Maureen could not endure it anymore and she reminded, “Gina, your phone’s ringing.”

She wanted to see how Gianna would explain to Caesar.

Gianna looked down. She really had to try her best to control herself to speak calmly to him. “Hi, Caesar.”

“Did you have fun today?” Caesar’s gentle voice was heard.

Gianna let out a sarcastic smile.

Caesar was going to participate in a selection of “outstanding and influential youths” a few days later; therefore she had specially gone there to pray for his success.

She had used to make him her priority for everything.

She could stand at the top, yet she had given up everything for him!

“Gina?” Without receiving her reply, Caesar asked more gently.

“I’m fine,” Gianna replied blandly and continued, “I got you an amulet for success.”

“Didn’t you get an amulet for having kids?” he joked.

She did.

Yet when she saw the amulet before her, she felt utmost disgusted.

She only knew the moment she died that the reason she was not pregnant for ten years was because

Caesar had been adulterating her food with contraceptive pills.

Ironically, she had suffered the Kennedy family’s infinite contempt and humiliation because of that.

“Why, are you tired?” Caesar seemed to have sensed her aberrancy and he quickly asked with care.

“I’ve gone to the hill with Maureen in the early morning and I do feel a little tired. I’m on my way home now.”

“I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you today because of work.” He sounded regretful.

Gianna felt that she was just wasting her energy when she let out a grim smile.

She used to be so naïve to think that he really was busy with work back then.

However, it turned out that he was just busy sleeping with other women.

“Be careful on the road,” Caesar reminded her.

Gianna hung up the call straight away.

Seeing Gianna’s cold expression, Maureen swallowed her words.

She felt that Gianna had changed.

She looked like a complete stranger to her.

Maybe she would become normal the next day after having a goodnight sleep.

They returned to the urban district and Gianna dropped Maureen at the Torres’s Villa.

“Maureen,” Gianna suddenly called her.

Maureen turned back.

She met Gianna’s uncanny look.

Gianna only wanted to make sure whether Maureen was still alive or not.

She was still alive.

Maureen was still alive too.

Maureen felt goosebumps from her stare and she asked, “Are you alright? I heard that the fengshui on the Charmed Hills was weird and creepy, could you possibly get possessed by something?”

[Note: fengshui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is a pseudoscientific traditional practice originating from ancient China, which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment.]

Maureen was still that amusing and innocent woman. Those disasters had not landed on her.

Gianna smiled.

That was the first sincere smile she had after being reborn.
