Cosmo’s fever had gone down. He had lunch, took his medicine, and went back to sleep to regain his strength.Meanwhile, Eloise went to the library and watched a romantic classic on the computer. The film was about a couple from vastly different backgrounds who, despite all the trials and misunderstandings, managed to make their love work and ended up getting married.The story wasn’t complicated. Its charm lay in how the two main characters, with such different views and personalities, slowly learned to understand and accept each other. From surface-level attraction to deep love, from a simple crush to real commitment, though the theme was old, it never failed to stir emotions.Who wouldn’t dream of a love like that? To love and be loved fully. But in reality, such love was rare, so Eloise often turned to movies like this to feel what she couldn’t have in real life.She was halfway through her second film when Cosmo appeared at the door.He was dressed neatly. Even in a wheelchair, he
Cosmo had been asleep for a long time. When Paolo noticed he was running a fever, he immediately called a doctor. It wasn’t anything serious, just a common cold and fever.Paolo had a pretty good idea what caused it.Eloise, on the other hand, found it oddly ironic. Back when she had gotten sick, Cosmo had told her her immune system was weak and couldn’t handle even a breeze. But now, it seemed Cosmo wasn’t any stronger.Meanwhile, Tania had grown concerned. She always found out immediately whenever something happened to her son. She came by to check on Cosmo, but instead of showing gratitude, she turned the blame on Eloise.“You’re his wife. You should be taking care of him properly. How could you let him get sick like this?” she scolded.Eloise still couldn’t forget what happened the previous night, so she chose her words carefully. “I know you want Cosmo to have a child soon, but that’s not something that just happens. Both people have to want it.”Tania was sharp, and she instantl
Eloise felt a little hot when he took a shower, so he deliberately lowered the water temperature to make him more comfortable.After rinsing and drying his hair, Eloise took his mobile phone and saw that there was a missed call, which was a call from the assistant director.She called back, "Director Joseph, is there any new role you want to recommend to us Sasha?"Director Joseph laughed happily, "You guessed it right, I have a friend who is looking for an actor in her drama, I talked to her and recommended Sasha to her, she is very satisfied with the photos, you take her to audition!"It is an opportunity for newcomers to get tickets to audition roles.Eloise readily agreed, "Okay! Thank you, Director Joseph, I have time to invite you to dinner. ”After Director Joseph hung up the phone, he sent her the time and place of the interview, two days later.Eloise told Sasha the good news and asked her to remember to free up time.She played with her mobile phone for a while, focusing on
Eloise kept telling herself that she didn’t care, but truthfully, she couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened. Every time she saw Cosmo, the memory of that night came rushing back. It left an uncomfortable silence between them for several days.Meanwhile, Arellano invited her to dinner. Because of what happened before, she declined. But a while later, Ardiel called and told her they would all be dining together that evening. Since Ardiel would be there, Eloise felt she had no choice but to go.When she arrived at the private dining room of a restaurant, both Arellano and Ardiel were already there. They greeted her warmly and enthusiastically. The couple knew her taste well, so they had ordered all her favorite dishes.Eloise wanted to cut ties with the Lopezes completely. But to Arellano and Ardiel, it was just a childish outburst. In their eyes, she was simply sulking to get their attention.Despite her resistance, Ardiel kept chatting with her and even gave her expensive desi
What she said to change the subject sounded like an awkward attempt to make herself look good, and it came off a bit embarrassing.And sure enough, when Cosmo heard it, he paused for a moment before smirking with sarcasm. “Sounds like he thinks a bit too highly of you.”Eloise was used to harsh words, but she still couldn’t help but feel annoyed. She couldn’t stop herself from snapping back, “Cosmo, you’re an educated and respected man. If you can’t treat me warmly, at least show me a little respect. There’s no need to always be so sharp with your words.”At first, it seemed like she wanted to drop the conversation, but Eloise went on. “I know you don’t like me, but I never asked to marry you or carry the title of Mrs. Dominguez! Or do you think I’m weak, and I’m the only one you can take it out on?”Her frustration and resentment spilled out one after another, but Cosmo didn’t belittle her.“Weak? I only said a few words and you shot back ten, half of them defensive. So who’s really
Mr. Viernes had cut off Sasha’s credit card to force her to humble herself and admit her mistake. He knew that if she returned home, apologized, and said a few sweet things, she’d eventually get it back. After all, she was still his daughter, and no matter what, he couldn’t stand seeing his princess suffer. In his eyes, Sasha was simply a girl who knew how to spend money but had no clue how to earn it.Lander had known Eloise far longer than Sasha, but it was Sasha who had become Eloise’s closest friend, and that made Lander feel like an outsider. He couldn’t accept that Sasha had replaced him as the person Eloise trusted the most.“How did someone like you, who does nothing but run off and party, end up as the best friend of a smart and respectable woman like her?”Lander had been rejected by Eloise before, over and over again. But now, it stung even more that she was still pushing him away, this time, for Sasha.He also knew that Sasha was willing to give up a role she had long drea
