Chapter 7

Author: Washing Wheat
Megan was in my shop, complaining. "I have no idea what Fred has been up to lately. He has been MIA. Could he actually be in a relationship? Is he busy spending time with his girlfriend?"

She fiddled with her phone as she spoke.

"There—he's busted. Isn't this Fred?"

After saying that, she turned her phone screen my way. It showed a selfie of a tanned-skinned woman beaming radiantly. In an unnoticeable corner was a familiar silhouette.

His facial features couldn't be seen, but one could tel

  • A Chance Reunion   Chapter 11

    The boxing studio was open for business two months later. Frederick brought Nicole along for the opening ceremony. She was perched on his shoulders, and she was absolutely buzzing with excitement. They even opened a class at the studio specifically for children, which Nicole participated in for a good part of the afternoon. While she trained, Frederick stayed by her side, offering guidance while grumbling sarcastically, "As a girl, you should know how to fight, at least a little. That way, you won't end up getting played by a scumbag, just like your mother did." Distracted, Nicole asked, "What is a 'scumbag', Uncle Fred?""A scumbag is a very bad man." Immediately, Nicole threw a flurry of punches in the air. Her hands were still wrapped in her boxing gloves. "Stay away, bad men. I will protect Mommy!" "That's right. Let's protect Mommy together from now on." I could not comment on that.…At noon, both our families sat down together for lunch. This was also Nicole's f

    That same evening, Frederick brought me back to his apartment. Before we went to bed at night, he asked out of the blue, "Was Nicky often sick growing up?" "Not exactly. She did fall sick quite frequently when she first started attending preschool, but it's been better lately," I answered. Frederick stayed silent for a long while, and then he tightened his arms around me. He remarked, "It must have been hard on you." Truth be told, it did not feel like that to me in the past. However, for some reason, a wave of sorrow washed over me once I heard those words. I was just about to reply when Frederick said through gritted teeth, "It's all that damn scumbag's fault. He'd better not bump into me in the future. Otherwise, I'm gonna emasculate him." At the end of the day, I still felt rather unwell. After having dinner, I drifted off to sleep. However, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of some furious knocks at the door. Frederick furrowed his brows, stroking my forehead to comfo

    Megan's voice was so loud that it echoed through the room. Even though I clamped my hand over the speaker, it was useless. Before I could even respond, Frederick snatched my phone out of my hands. "Setting me up, are you? You'd better brace yourself first. You're dead meat." The line went quiet for a moment. Thereafter, Megan snapped, "Who are you? Why are you taking someone else's call? I was just wondering why I wasn't able to get in touch with my friend."I see—you were the one who took her phone away. Hand her phone back to her this instant, or I'm calling 911!" I was rendered speechless. Frederick ended the call, and a brief silence filled the room. I started, "Can we… Can we not go public with this just yet?""What are you trying to say? You want to keep me as your side piece?""That's not what I meant. I actually don't have many friends, so I don't want to lose Megan just because of this.""Why would our relationship affect your friendship in any way?" Frederick narr

    Suddenly, Frederick pulled me into his arms. Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Megan leapt up from her seat. "You've got the wrong person. Belle is over there!" Nevertheless, Frederick's pace was frantic, and he had already disappeared from her sight. It wasn't until I was shoved into a car that I finally caught up with what was happening. As I struggled to sit back up, I asked, "Frederick? What are you doing here?" Frederick simply pressed in close. His frame loomed over me like a shadow. The backseat of the car was spacious, giving him plenty of room to do whatever he wanted. I could feel his breath on my neck, which sent shivers through me. Even my voice turned shaky. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Who were you planning on 'giving a shot' with?" "Giving a shot to what?""Jenna, I wanted to take things slow. But now, I don't think I can wait any longer." After he said that, I felt something hard against my lower abdomen. I struggled even harder. "You've got the

It showed a selfie of a tanned-skinned woman beaming radiantly. In an unnoticeable corner was a familiar silhouette.His facial features couldn't be seen, but one could tell he stood tall and straight. At one glance, I could tell he was Frederick. He had probably only ended up in the shot coincidentally. "I just knew I'd be able to find something from Belle's Instagram. Just as I expected, they have been spending time together the last few days. Call me Detective Megan!"Megan giggled. Then, she continued, "Jen, considering how capable they both are, do you reckon I'd be implicated if they had any arguments in the future? Yikes. That's such a scary thought."A

    I choked on my words and looked away, keeping a straight face. Frederick raised a brow, scanning the interior of my shop before picking up the black wireless bra that fell yesterday."I'll go with this," he said. "Which size are you after?"After I posed that question, I noticed him fixing his gaze on a particular area of my body. My face flushed red immediately, and I gave him a shove. "This is not for sale. I refuse to sell it to you, okay?" Frederick grabbed my hand. "What's going on with you?"The moment he asked that, a crisp voice came from the entrance. "Mommy, your precious Nicky is back!" Right after that, the door flung open. My gaze met with my mom's while Nicole locked eyes with Frederick. The atmosphere turned eerily silent.In the end, it was my sharp-witted mother who first snapped back to her senses. Cautiously, she asked, "Should I leave, or should I take Nicky with me as well?"I was so flushed that I felt like I was burning up from within. I broke free
