The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 87

Anya’s words were abruptly interrupted by a voice.

Cathy ran down from the car and held Calix’s hand in front of Anya, saying, “I suddenly feel a little sick and tired, I want to go home.”

She pursed her lips, speaking softly.

Her eyes looked at Calix, seemingly trying to hide her emotions but still showing a pitiful look.

The goddess image was already eye–catching, and now with her restrained emotions, it was even more captivating. Even an iron–hearted person would feel sorry for her after witnessing her pitiful defeat against Anya.

Standing on the side, Anya clearly saw how Calix’s cold face softened in a magical way. His gaze appeared to have been filtered, and all sharpness was gone, replaced by gentle ripples.

“Alright,” he complied, tilting his head slightly.

The word “alright” sounded tender and sweet to Anya’s ears. She once again realized the difference between love and not loving someone.

Fortunately, she had long realized the reality and withdrew her love for him. Otherwise, she would have been tormented today.

The words she had wanted to say suddenly seemed unnecessary.

She smiled lightly, turned around, and left.

Fredrica hadn’t returned yet, so Anya decided to wait in the car.

Cathy took the opportunity while Calix went to get the car and hurriedly ran to the front of Anya’s

car.

With both hands pressed against the car door, the beautiful goddess’s face showed clear signs of nervousness. “Anya, you better not badmouth me to Calix!”

“Or else?” Anya turned her head to look at her with a faint smile, a smile that seemed like a half–smile.

Her tone sounded provocative, and the half–smile in her expression felt like silent mockery to Cathy!

She was mocking her for having the courage to do it but not the courage to admit it!

Cathy clenched her fingers silently, feeling as if there was a thorn piercing her heart, causing a sharp and painful sensation.

Her face changed like a color palette in front of Anya, looking like a complete clown.

“You already have the boss of Starlight Media, so why bother seeking my discomfort? There’s a saying: old enemies should resolve their differences, not deepen them. If you make me uncomfortable, I can make you feel just as uncomfortable with the boss of Starlight Media!” Cathy bit her lip, unable to maintain her goddess image anymore.

Anya’s expression remained unchanged, and she casually replied, “Mhm.”

Just “Mhm.”

As for going to find the boss of Starlight Media, that depended on whether she had the ability to find him.

Cathy waited for a while, but Anya didn’t say anything else.

Realizing that she had been played, Cathy became angry and embarrassed. Her clenched fist almost turned into a slap on Anya’s face!

“Don’t worry, I don’t have the habit of meddling in my ex–husband’s business and playing the matchmaker,” Anya finally spoke after a long while.

After speaking, she stepped on the gas, starting the car with a swish.

The car kicked up dirt and sand, splashing Cathy all over.

Cathy: “…”

She should have been relieved that Anya let her off, but her expression became even uglier.

Her cheeks twitched continuously, contorted!

Chapter 87

All of Anya’s actions and words just now were filled with two words: disdain, scorn!

She didn’t directly expose her, yet she still managed to make her feel embarrassed and humiliated!

Under her sleeve, she didn’t know how many nails she had broken.

Anya and Fredrica returned to their home very late.

They were planning to leave the next day.

When they reached the door, they saw a car parked there. The darkness made it hard to distinguish the car’s color, but the person leaning against it was eye–catching.

The person had a tall and elegant figure, exuding a sense of refined demeanor.

The hair was tied up at the back of the head, with a few strands falling on the forehead, giving off a strong antique vibe.

Fredrica had better vision than Anya and recognized him first, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh, isn’t this William? Shooting a historical drama at this late hour?”

William raised his head and smiled at Fredrica and Anya.

He belonged to the gentle type, and with a smile, he revealed two dimples, looking quite charming.

His appearance and posture were undoubtedly like the leading actor in a historical drama.

And also a warm male lead.

“I’m waiting for Miss Olsen,” he said softly, with a voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

Fredrica knew about his relationship with Calix and had no good feelings toward anyone around Calix. Hearing that he was looking for Anya, she coldly sneered, “What? Did my friend offend your father or your mother? Is that why you’re guarding the door at this late hour?”

William: “…”

Anya pulled Fredrica gently and looked apologetically at William. “Sorry, my friend is very straightforward and overprotective, but she means no harm, William, please don’t take offense.”

William knew Fredrica, shook his head, and said, “No worries, I won’t.”

He also knew that Fredrica’s anger was probably due to his relationship with Calix. He could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

“William, is there something urgent for you to find me so late?” Anya asked.

William nodded, “I mainly came to discuss the itinerary for Silvaria with you. Mr. Jack Anderson has returned to Silvaria.”

Anya had previously promised to help him act as an intermediary and persuade Mr. Jack Anderson. However, Mr. Anderson had been traveling all over the world, making it difficult to track him down. As a result, this matter had not been implemented.

“Now that Mr. Anderson has returned, let’s do it tomorrow,” Anya readily agreed.

“Great,” William said with delight. “I’ll book a flight ticket right away.”

Anya didn’t bother with formalities about the plane ticket and nodded her chin. “It’s too late now; there’s no need for William to stay for tea.”

William glanced at Fredrica, who was staring at him as if he were an enemy. He thought to himself, Even if you ask me to stay, I don’t have the courage.

“Anya, why did you promise William to persuade Mr. Anderson?” Once William left, Fredrica immediately expressed her dissatisfaction. “Did you forget about the relationship between William and that scum Calix?”

Anya gently patted her shoulder. “Yes, William is Calix’s friend, but he saved me.”

She briefly explained what had happened.

“What? You went through something so significant, and you never mentioned this to me!” Fredrica’s voice was filled with anger.

Before she could continue, Fredrica exploded.

Fredrica knew about Anya almost freezing to death in the snow, but she had no idea about Anya’s difficult childbirth. Hearing her mention it now, she was furious.

“Anya, do you even consider me a friend? You… really infuriate me!” She was so angry that she wanted to end her friendship with Anya on the spot.

Anya held her back. “You were also in a difficult situation at the time, and besides, we were so far apart. It wouldn’t have made a difference if I told you.”

Her words made Fredrica suddenly fall silent.

“That situation” was the most painful memory for her.

“I’m sorry.” Anya realized she had misspoken and quickly apologized.

“Sorry for what?” Fredrica quickly regained her composure, but her eyes were red. “You’ve done so much for that scumbag Calix, and the result… it’s really not worth it!”

“In this world, some things can’t be measured by worth. Don’t you remember? I said as long as I do everything within my ability and with a clear conscience, it’s enough.”
