บททั้งหมดของ Mrs. Guevarra: The Rejected Wife: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Anna got out of her bed. She needed to go to the office today. Work was not pressing, or anything like that, but she needed to check on some documents. Plus, she really needed some sort of distraction right now. Ever since she and Dalton moved into their house a week ago, she had done nothing but to get her guard up. Dalton, on the other hand, had been giving her mixed signals. It scared her. "Good morning, ma'am," the maid greeted her when she went down the stairs. "Good morning, Delia," she went straight to the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat, before she escaped from the house. She immediately sat on the table when she saw her breakfast was already prepared. She took a sip on the latte, grateful for Delia. She was about to take a bite on the avocado toast when she felt a presence at her back. She tensed when she realized that Dalton was holding a bowl of berries behind her. He walked over to the table, and laid the bowl down, next to Anna's plate! Anna ignore

Khea's mouth actually dropped. She slowly turned towards Anna. She's the daughter of Mr. Delgado? she thought. She turned around to look at the people around them. Then that means that they were referring to Anna earlier, not her. A staff member approached her. "Miss Khea, we will be pressing charges against you for not only causing a commotion inside a respectable establishment, but more so for antagonizing Ms. Anna." "Just wait for the official lawsuit. Since you dared to raise your hand towards Ms. Anna." Ivan added. Khea's face drained out of color from what she heard. "I-I... "she stammered. "Is there a way to settle this quietly?" The people glared at her. "No." Khea looked like she was about to cry, then she saw someone approaching them. Her face immediately lit up. She looked like salvation was coming to her. Selene hurriedly walked towards Khea, her heels thudding forcefully. "What is going on here? We are guests in this company. How dare you treat her like thi

The next day, Anna woke up with Dalton's arm around her. She rose quietly, taking Dalton's arm off carefully. He insisted on staying in Anna's room last night. He didn't budge no matter how much Ann protested. In the end, Anna had to let him stay. She had to deal with that later, but for now, she needed to get ready for work. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Dalton getting ready inside her room. His shirt was unbuttoned, and his hair was still a bit wet. Anna grabbed her bag. She was already ready. She decided that she'll just grab breakfast on her way to work. Dalton eyed her from the mirror. He was fixing his collar when he saw Anna fixing her bag. His eyes drifted back to his reflection as he fixed his sleeves. "Are you not eating breakfast?" he asked. "No, I'll just grab one on my way to work." "Are you in a hurry?" Anna paused for a bit. "Not really." "Then stay for a while, I'll make you breakfast." Dalton walked past Anna out of the room. She was l

Anna and Rachel sat on opposite sides of a restaurant table. Their orders had already been served, and there was a plate full of food in front of each of them. "So, I heard that you were suing Khea." Rachel started. "Not me, Dalton." Anna replied. "Girl, why?" Anna explained all that had happened yesterday at her father's company. Rachel nodded at her every word, her eyes wide. "So," Rachel took a sip of her drink. "What's all this about Dalton driving you this morning?" Anna exploded at that. "I told you! The man lost his mind!" "Well, what happened after he dropped you off?" Anna looked at her in surprise. "You didn't see the photos? The media was in front of my building this morning." "I told you, I avoid the media! I only knew about Khea because the other models were talking about it." Rachel explained. Anna let out an exasperated sigh. "I don't know what Dalton is even thinking about. He insisted that I ride in his car earlier, and his reason for that wasn't even

Anna spent the rest of the afternoon studying some of her clients' cases. She buried herself deep in work, trying to forget about her conversation with Rachel. "Ma'am, it's almost closing time," Leane informed her. "You may wrap up and go home. I'm going to stay here for a while." Leane packed her things, and after saying her goodbyes, she left the office. A minute later, she was back at the door. “Ma'am," she called out. "Sir Dalton is waiting for you outside." Anna looked at her. "Okay, I'll be out in a minute. Thank you." Leane said her goodbyes once more and left the office. When she got out of the building, she saw Dalton waiting in front of his car. She approached him. "Sir Dalton, Ma'am Anna will be out in a minute." Dalton thanked her, and after saying 'you're welcome', she went to her own car. Leane bursted out giggling when she got into her car. Sir Dalton was indeed very handsome. He was even more handsome up close. His features were quite manly and
