Semua Bab Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Bab 561 - Bab 570

I was more than ready to get into the car and be on my merry way.Perturbed by my lack of interest, Lianna stopped me. "Aren't you at least a little curious?"I glared. "Last warning, Lianna. Get out of my way." "Puff yourself up all you want, Serena. Jethro will choose me in the end, you'll see!" she declared in rage.My anger flared in response. Who the fuck did this bitch think she was?!"You've got a pretty strong case of delusion, girl. He doesn't even wanna see you—let alone be with you!" I retorted scornfully."I don't think you should call me delusional when you don't know the truth about us. Before you showed up, I was the woman he loved more than anything in this fucking world!" Lianna proclaimed smugly.I didn't recoil in shock. I already knew that. And I also knew that her only intent in being here was to be a thorn in my side, so I fought back."Do you hear yourself? 'Was' is doing the heavy lifting here. You're history, Lianna. Pure and simple. I'm his current wi

Jethro hugged me tightly. "I'll find a way to settle this. There's no one else I could ever love other than you," he said solemnly. I already knew that. I just really hated the fact that a bitch was out there clinging to my husband.Doris went out frequently for the rest of the week. I believed she was out trying to solve the Lianna issue. Since just the thought of her existence soured my mood till no end, I didn't ask Doris where she was going.Then came time for Jethro and I’s wedding anniversary. He reserved an entire restaurant just for the two of us, and I was stunned when he brought me there—the entire place was adorned with flaming red roses. I never imagined being at the receiving end of something so romantic. I thought such things only existed in romance dramas. Jethro's surprise was simply amazing. We sat across from each other as a violinist serenaded us with romantic tunes. I couldn't believe this was real."Why… Why are you making this occasion into something so grand

Jethro smiled as if I was his prized possession.Lianna, meanwhile, glared and bellowed, "How about you learn some civility instead of flinging muck at me?""Civility is reserved for those who deserve it. A homewrecker isn’t among such people," I retorted in contempt. Was seducing my husband an act of civility?Lianna turned to Jethro. "Are you seeing this, Jethro? This is her true color—a boorish, uncivilized woman who picks and chooses whom she shows civility to. You used to like women who are the complete opposite of this, so what happened?""Don't patronize me. I know my type, thank you very much," Jethro snarled as few things attracted his ire more than hearing criticisms against those he cared for. "And a word of advice: get out of here if you know what's good for you before you start to really push my buttons, Lianna."It was clear who Jethro cared more about, and it was me. Being favored in front of one's ex—not gonna lie—was the smugest moment I'd ever experienced. I gave

The smile in Nathan's eyes seemed to grow even more. His being stubbornly glued to the chair was starting to drive me up the wall. Our relationship was already awkward, to say the least. And now, he was staying despite having no reason to?"Umm, if there's nothing more, shall I see you off, Mr. Nathan? I'll come to your office another time to flesh out the details."Nathan frowned a little. "Rina, the business talk is over. Do we have to keep the formalities? I really wish you didn’t put this much distance between us. I know we can't be together, but we're friends, aren't we?""You know what happened between us, Nathan. I don't know how to interact with you because of it, okay? We're only talking to each other right now because of work," I replied.Jethro used to misunderstand our relationship because of Nathan, and I was still anxious over it now. I just wanted to be happy with Jethro. The last thing I wanted was anyone ruining that. Nathan looked disappointed for a second, but

The cold shower calmed me down enough that seeing Jethro waiting for me on the bed made me feel guilty. He hadn’t done anything wrong, and yet I blamed him for everything that was happening. Jethro looked at me for a long time until I finally broke the silence. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"His gaze was gentle. "I was waiting for you." "I'm sorry for shouting at you earlier."Jethro had tolerated much of me, hadn't he?He pulled me into his arms. "It's okay. My wife's in a bad mood, and I think she deserves to let it all out every once in a while." I sniffled. If Lianna hadn’t shown up, we would be like this all the time. She was the reason why we’ve been fighting constantly lately. If Jethro's love for me was even a little weaker, he probably would’ve left me because of my bad temper. A long silence. Then, he asked, "Did you see her just now? Can you tell me what happened during dinner?""No, it's nothing. I had a couple of beers and I guess… I was reminded of all the thing
