The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 300

"Do you know how sCarolineth your future will be if you can get Derek's help?"

Penelope patted her thigh.

She deemed Caroline Yoou thoughtless. She was upright to the point of being naive

"It's useless to regret now."

Nora didn't mention that she had the phone number of Derek. She had already made up her mind that she would not get involved with that person again.

"Well, you're hurt. Where's Sheldom? I don't expect Hailey to come, but at least your fiance is supposed to be here for you."

"He's very busy at work, and he's still abroad..."

It was harrowing for Nora to hear Sheldom's name.

She hadn't yet mustered up the courage to contact that person.

Nora was terrified at the thought that she might be abandoned. She had nothing, so she had a morbid fear of losing what she had now.

"Don't tell me he doesn't know about your accident."

Penelope was shocked. How could Sheldom be so nonchalant when his fiancee was suffering?

The relationship between them, in her opinion, was simply twisted.

Ostensibly, Sheldom was all along very affectionate and tolerant, but there seemed to be a mysterious veil over everything he did. One just couldn't see through his motive.

Penelope had mentioned that with Nora before, but she did not heed her advice, so she never brought that up again.

"No matter how busy he is, this is not the time to stand by. What if anything happens to you in the future? Is he going to be the same indifferent? Then what's the point of getting married?"

"There have been a lot of things going on at the company lately, and he calls less frequently than before, but I think it's understandable and we'll be what we were after he finishes his work."

Nora just had been just a little disappointed before Penelope said that, but now she inevitably felt aggrieved.

She was a sensible woman, she needed the care from a man notwithstanding, especially when she was vulnerable.

She barely bothered Sheldom with her own things, afraid of annoying him.

"It's everything but understandable. Haven't you watched soap operas? If a man loves a woman, he will find every minute without her harrowing and never get tired of talking with her. If he is so cold to you now, are you expecting to live like a widow after getting married?"

"That won't happen."

Nora murmured, but she was not sure.

"If a man seldom contacts you, it's definitely not because he's busy with work. He's either not interested in you anymore, or he's interested in someone else."

Nora paled at Penelope's words.

Of course, she trusted Sheldom wholeheartedly, but...

Sure enough, she was not as strong as she thought, and she needed his solace and care now.

"Forget it. Think hard for yourself. I'm hungry. I'll go grab a bite."

Penelope didn't want to push her too hard, so she changed the subject.

Nora then remembered the food in the room brought by that man. "Wait. There is food here."

Penelope nodded. Meredith opened the box and was surprised.

All the food in it was her favorite.

However, she couldn't recall telling Derek what she liked.

How did that person figure it out?

Nora suddenly felt a chill. Could it be that she was being thoroughly investigated?

"What's wrong? These are all your favorites."

Penelope looked at her, puzzled.

Nora shook her head, her eyes locked on the food, suddenly losing her appetite.

On the one hand, she fretted about her relationship with Sheldom, on the other hand... Derek's presence made her uneasy.

After a few bites, Penelope offered to spend the night with her, perhaps because it was too pitiful to see her live here alone.

Nora did not refuse. The two of them tidied up the bed, lay down, and idled time way.

On TV was a boring mediation program, about the altercation of a married couple after the husband found that his wife had an abortion before their marriage.

Nora was absorbed.

On the screen, the couple cursed a blue streak at each other and they almost pounced upon each other before the host could stop them.

"Is it true that no man can accept that his woman has given a child to someone else?" Nora watched the show, a little touched, but also a little lost, and subconsciously asked what she was thinking.

"Child? There is nothing unacceptable. Is there anyone in 2019 still caring about that? But it's the girl's fault to hide the truth from her husband. She's too insincere. She deserves it." After that, Penelope realized something was wrong with Nora and cast a glance at her carefully.

"I'm okay. Just asking." Nora changed the subject in a daze.

"Unless it's he's a king who needs a male heir to inherit the crown, or he should not care. An open talk will be helpful. After all, there are so many women with children who find their happiness again."

Nora nodded, but she was still dazed. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Penelope shut up.

She didn't know very much about Nora's past, but she knew that she had been through a lot of twists and turns, though she didn't know exactly what it was. It was not her to stick her nose into her privacy, so she could only comfort her. "This kind of program is just a performance with script. Don't get serious with such humbug."

Nora listened absent-mindedly to Penelope's consolation. She knew she meant well, but her life, if she had to recall all those experiences in detail, was probably more ridiculous than the so-called script on TV, but life still had to go on.

She remembered what Sheldom had said before. The day he asked her to be his girlfriend, she couldn't believe her ears. She thought it was a joke, but he said firmly that he didn't care about her past.

Because of these words, even if he became colder and colder, she never doubted him. If he hadn't loved her, he wouldn't have started a relationship with a woman who had nothing.

So, shouldn't she have more confidence in him?

Thinking about it, Nora stood up. "I'm going to the bathroom."
