Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mistress on My Husband's Phone: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

"Are you sure you want to apply for a job at that witch's company again? Didn't they reject you before?" Kendall handed a freshly ironed shirt to Derrick."Yeah, I'm hoping that this time Sarah and Troy will accept me. Even if it's just as a driver, I don't mind." Derrick finished getting dressed and checked himself in the half-length mirror."Please wish me luck, okay? A wife's wish for her husband is powerful, you know.""Sure, just don't forget to buy me a phone once you get paid." Kendall started to coax Derrick, wrapping her arms around his waist."Kendall, I'm trying to find a job here. If you keep hugging me like this, I might not end up going." Derrick turned so that he was now facing Kendall."Tonight, okay, Derrick? I want..." Kendall whispered.Since their argument over the phone the other day, their relationship had been a bit strained. The nightly activities they used to engage in almost every night had taken a break for the past few days. Both were too proud to make

"We've found an investor comparable to Vincent," Diego said, dropping himself into the chair in front of Troy."Oh, really? Who is it? Do I know this investor?" Troy's face lit up with curiosity. He was eager to know who the investor was. He thought it was unlikely that someone would invest such a large amount unless they had confidence in the company. He suspected that the investor must be someone who was well-acquainted with Peterson Group."The owner of Callista Corp. They've known about Peterson Group's previous successes for a long time. That's why they're confident about investing with us."Troy nodded as he listened to Diego's explanation."When can I meet the owner of Callista Corp? Sarah and I need to get to know them first.""I'll arrange it as soon as possible. With this investor's involvement, I believe Peterson Group will return to normal. The merger with Johnson Corp hasn't made much of a difference." Diego lowered his voice as he spoke.Troy chuckled."My goal in

"Don't forget, tonight we have a meeting with our potential investor. I've already made a reservation at an upscale restaurant," Diego informed Troy over the phone."Got it. You and Carrie need to be there before the scheduled time," Troy emphasized before ending the call."Sarah, we have dinner with a potential investor tonight. If you want to come, we can leave early so you can rest beforehand.""Come on, Troy. You don't need to fuss over me! I'm fine. Carrie and I are swamped with work today, but I'll definitely be there tonight.""No way! The baby you're carrying is mine, so you need to listen to me!" Troy pulled Sarah close, turning her around so they were face to face."I'm the mother. I'm the one who's pregnant. I know that both of us are strong." Sarah's beautiful face drew closer to Troy's.Troy's focus shattered as his eyes landed on her enticing nude-colored lips, moving enticingly close to his face. His gaze softened, making Sarah blink rapidly, caught off guard."Tr

"Jealous of Derrick?" Troy laughed while shaking his head."If it's not jealousy, then what is it?" Sarah grew more irritated."I don't know. I just don't want you and Gillian getting close to Derrick again.""Troy, I can't possibly get close to Derrick. I know my boundaries as your wife. But Gillian is his biological daughter. It's selfish to keep them apart. Remember, when Gillian gets married someday, her biological father has the right to give her away."Hearing Sarah's words, Troy's face suddenly turned somber."Yeah. That's something I've never thought about until now." Troy's voice grew softer as he sat down on the bed."Daddy ... Mommy ... I'm off to school!" Gillian called out, and Troy quickly got up and left the room to greet her. Sarah followed suit."Come on, let me walk you to the porch!" Troy held Gillian's hand and led her to the porch, with Sarah following behind.Derrick was already standing by the car, ready to open the door for Gillian. He nodded politely at

Sarah knocked on the door. Just after a single knock, the door opened immediately."Hello...""Hello...""Please come in, Sarah. Troy!" Derrick opened the door wide."Mommy... Daddy!" Gillian, who had been drawing with Chloe, quickly stood up and ran to Troy."Sweetheart, let's go home now. Mommy hasn't eaten yet." Troy gently stroked Gillian's head."Sit down first, Sarah! How about I cook something for you?" Lorraine offered.Sarah was stunned to hear Lorraine's offer. Her former sister-in-law never used to cook."Don't worry! My sister here can cook now. We learned to cook while we were in prison."Sarah smiled. "But you're not using poison this time, right?" she teased.Lorraine stammered, embarrassed by Sarah's jab. She remembered how she had tried twice to poison Sarah's food and drink. But luck always seemed to be on Sarah's side."No, Lorraine, we'll eat at home. Sofia is there. We'll take our leave now! Come on, Gillian!"Sarah politely declined.Meanwhile, Troy r
