All Chapters of The Reclaimed Rose: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

"That's right. At the time, the divorce happened so suddenly that even if I went back to my previous job, it would take a long time to start making money again. I had no resources to solve the immediate problem," I replied."Do you want to go back to your previous line of work?" Julian asked.Without even thinking, I shook my head. "Of course not. I have a job I enjoy more now, and it pays better. There's no reason to go back."Julian's smile widened.…When it was time for the lunch break, Joseph was already waiting in the café downstairs.Alice rushed over, and Joseph remarked sarcastically, "Look at you, all busy and important now. I waited for so long."Hearing that, Alice rolled her eyes at him. "Most companies have the same lunch hour. If you insist on coming this early, what do you expect me to do? Besides, I came straight here as soon as I got off work."Alice shot him a sideways glance. "That's already giving you enough respect. You'd better appreciate it."Joseph qui

"Why?" Joseph asked in confusion.Alice suddenly felt exhausted. When she communicated with smart people, it was always just to the point. But when talking to Joseph, she had to explain every word."Because she knows your current situation! No one can help you, and you can only come to me. And my salary is so low. I wouldn't want to spend money on you. But she's different. She doesn't earn that much, but she's very generous when it comes to spending money on you.""That's true." Joseph's eyes instantly lit up. Then, he frowned."But I don't think she's ever spent money on me."Alice crossed her arms. "That's because you haven't mentioned it. Otherwise, she would definitely spend money on you."Though Alice didn't have much interaction with Avery, she was sure Avery would spend some money as long as it made life difficult for Alice.Alice suddenly felt smart for being able to use Avery's personality traits to set a trap for her.She signaled for Joseph to call Avery. "If you don

Joseph calculated his daily expenses. "I can eat something cheaper for breakfast and something slightly expensive for lunch. Then, I can skip dinner. Two thousand a month should be enough."When Alice heard that, she was thankful she hadn't ended up with him.He had no intention of working and just expected women to support him. That would drive his girlfriend insane.Although Alice hated Avery, she couldn't let Avery throw herself into misery either. "So, after you spend everything this month, what about next month? Are you just going to keep asking Avery for money?"Joseph really didn't know what he should do."Why don't you find a job to support yourself? Your father has already cut you off. You should at least start thinking about your future. You can't just freeload forever or rely on a woman to take care of you. You have working limbs, after all."Joseph fell silent, seriously considering Alice's words.Standing up, Alice said, "I'm going back to work. Think about it you

If Avery agreed, a stranger would be moving into her house.She was a little conflicted.Just then, the food Joseph ordered arrived. He didn't push the issue of staying at Avery's place but simply lowered his head and focused on eating.Avery stared at Joseph, deep in thought.When Joseph finished his meal, he stood up confidently. "I'm going to look for a job now. Thank you for treating me. I'll return the favor once I start making money.""If you really have nowhere to stay right now, you can come to my place," Avery said, fully committed to messing with Alice.As she thought it over, she realized that Joseph moving into her house wasn't entirely a bad thing.At the very least, she could brainwash him all the time and make sure he kept pestering Alice.Once Avery figured it out, she smiled. "I mean it.""Then can I move in today?" Joseph asked."Sure."Avery pretended to be troubled. "But you like Alice. If she finds out you're staying at my place…""I knew it. She likes

Willow pouted but still compromised. She said, "Then we'll do our hair first. If we have spare time, can we go play?""Sure," I replied smilingly.Willow sat at the table, looking at the cute little pudding in front of her.Surprised, she turned the little pudding around. "This looks almost the same as the one on the counter!"Pamela immediately took off the little box around the pudding and grabbed a spoon to tap it.The little bunny pudding bounced."So cute," Pamela thought.She liked it even more and quickly shared it with Willow. "Look!""Wow!" Willow's mouth fell open in surprise."What's wrong?" Pamela asked."I don't want to eat it," Willow responded sadly.Pamela glanced at Willow, then at the pudding in front of her. "Me neither!"I rubbed Willow's head gently. "Then eat your hamburger and fries first.""Okay!" Willow and Pamela quickly started eating. But as they ate, their eyes kept staring at the pudding.I shook my head with a smile.I picked up the hamburg
