Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares Chapter 188
"Goddaughter?" Penelope gasped, rushing in from the doorway. Her heart had been pounding the whole way over, practically leaping into her throat.How could Jacklyn possibly become Emily's goddaughter? If she really managed to tie herself to Emily, wouldn't that only push Penelope further out of the Lloyds' inner circle?She hurried to Emily's side, quickly looping her arm through hers and pouting. "Emily, aren't I your goddaughter already? Why would you take in someone else now?""There's always room for one more. When you're my age, you just want to be surrounded by family—real or chosen. A goddaughter is still family, isn't she?" Emily said, patting Penelope's hand.She was smiling, but the warmth never quite reached her eyes, leaving behind an inexplicable chill in the air.Even Jacklyn picked up on it, so of course Penelope did, after all the time and effort she'd been pouring into trying to win Emily over.Penelope knew she couldn't change Emily's mind. Well, if that was the

Jacklyn couldn't stand Eugene's touch anymore. How could she possibly endure any kind of intimacy with him now?This distance between them was already more than enough. It was her limit. She took a deep breath, swallowing the revulsion rising in her throat."Let me go, Gene."By now, after so many of her rejections, Eugene had gotten the message. But it still didn't stop the hurt from showing on his face."They're just excuses, Jackie. It's been forever since we've shared a bed. Our marriage has been a hollow shell for a long time. And now you're pushing me away again?"Jacklyn parted her lips to speak but couldn't find the words. She shut her mouth again. She just couldn't do this.Her silence cut deeper than any blade, slicing straight into his heart.Eugene lowered his gaze, his voice heavy with emotion. "Jackie, is there someone else in your heart? Is that why you won't touch me anymore?"The question had been festering inside him for a long time. Now that it was finally ou

Lydia's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Eugene. "M-Ms. Lopez?"Eugene nodded.She knew he wouldn't lie to her. Careful not to make a sound, she quickly grabbed Eugene's arm and pulled him out of the room.Once they were outside, Lydia craned her neck, whispering, "Why is her stuff with Jacklyn?"Eugene gave her a quick rundown of what had happened.As soon as Lydia heard it, her eyes lit up. "So you're telling me Jacklyn actually managed to latch onto Ms. Lopez during this cruise?"Eugene's eyes lingered on Jacklyn, completely absorbed in her work. A swell of pride rose in his chest. "Jackie's really something. Ms. Lopez already thinks the world of her. Once she nails this design, she's bound to win her over completely. And then we won't have to rely on Penelope cozying up to Ms. Lopez anymore."Lydia's smile faltered slightly.Sure, Jacklyn impressing Emily was a win for the Lloyds, but between Jacklyn and Penelope, Lydia had always favored the latter. After all, Pene

Jacklyn shot Penelope a cool glance. "Whatever it is, it'll still be better than your trash."Penelope flushed with rage. "You're not winning yet! I was by Emily's side long before you ever showed up. She doesn't need anyone else. I'm enough for her!"Unfazed, Jacklyn glanced at the velvet box in her hand and gave a smug smirk. "And yet, when it comes to this, you're completely useless. What good are you, really?"Penelope's eyes blazed with fury. She stomped her foot, spun on her heel, and stormed down the gangplank after Emily.…Upon returning to Lloyd Manor, Jacklyn immediately set about gathering her materials. The alabaster vase's delicate nature demanded nothing less than perfection when it came to the gold detailing.It took her nearly three days to collect everything she needed. After that, she locked herself in her room and threw herself into the work, determined to craft the gold accents with unwavering focus.Once she was immersed, Jacklyn—as always—lost all sense of

Penelope jumped at the sudden knock on the door. A deep, familiar voice followed a beat later. "It's me. Open up."Eugene!The panic on her face melted away, replaced by a burst of joy.She yanked the door open, and the moment Eugene stepped inside, she threw herself into his arms. "Gene! I'm so happy you came."Just like that, the weight of the day lifted.He still cared. He had to. Why else would he come after her so soon?Eugene barely had time to steady himself before Penelope crashed into him, nearly knocking him off balance. A flicker of irritation crossed his face.Before he could push her away, he quickly turned and locked the door, as if worried someone might see.After steadying himself, Eugene grabbed Penelope's shoulders and demanded, "Why did you go to our cabin?"Penelope hadn't expected him to push the issue. A flicker of panic crossed her face. "Gene, I told you already, didn't I? I was looking for Jackie. The door was open."But Eugene wasn't buying it. He le

Eugene didn't suspect a thing. He headed straight back to the cabin. But the moment he stepped inside, he froze.Penelope was standing there.His mind exploded. Staring at her in disbelief, he gritted his teeth and snapped, "What the hell are you doing here?"Penelope looked just as stunned. She stood frozen, completely at a loss for words.Before she could say anything, the door—left slightly ajar—swung open wider. Both of them turned. And there, in the doorway, stood Jacklyn. Her eyes were wide with surprise."W-What are you two doing in here?"Eugene's mind went completely blank. He had no idea why Penelope was in his cabin and even less idea how Jacklyn had just walked in and caught them like this.Guilt and panic rose like a wave, choking off anything he might've said.When they didn't respond, Jacklyn leaned against the doorframe, one hand braced for support, her teeth sinking into her lip as she stared at them with a wounded look."Aren't you going to give me an explana
