Semua Bab Mrs. Guevarra: The Rejected Wife: Bab 81 - Bab 90

After she carefully placed all of the photos inside the envelope, she turned to Dalton.“Finally had a change of mind?” she asked. “You can sign the papers now.”Dalton narrowed his eyes at her first before taking a seat.“Sit down, Anna,” he told her. “Let’s have a talk. A proper one. I don’t want us screaming at each other while we talk. Let’s make things as clear as possible. And I won’t hide anything from you. Just please listen to me.”Anna took a seat, facing Dalton. She felt uncomfortable, thinking that Dalton might just twist things again just like he did before. But still, she didn’t say anything to him.Once Anna was seated, he spoke first. His tone was mild, as he looked earnestly at her.“Anna, I came back because I want to work on our marriage. I really do,” Anna tried to say something but he held up a finger at her. “Let me finish, please. First, I want it clear that I have never cheated nor lied to you. Never.” He waited to let those words sink in, before adding, “Now,

Anna and Dalton arrived at Anna’s friend’s company. Her friend had always helped her in the past whenever she needed something. It was also this friend that retrieved the footage for her five years ago.So, when Anna asked for the same favor again, her friend didn’t hesitate to give her everything she asked for.When they arrived at the lobby, Rachel was waiting for them there. She quickly walked towards Anna when she saw the two come in.Scowling at Dalton, she reached for a hug at Anna. “Are you okay?” she asked worriedly.“I am,” Anna replied while giving her a meaningful look.Rachel shook her head. She didn’t get the chance to talk to Nora yesterday. Nora was busy, so she'll have to wait.“You must be quite thick-skinned to be here,” Rachel scoffed at Dalton.“We still haven’t even seen the footage yet, but you’re already quick to judge.” Dalton retorted.Rachel was taken aback with Dalton’s words, wide-eyed with fury, she turned to Anna. “Wow, some people are just really shamel

He turned towards Rachel who was now furiously blushing at her seat.“You were very sure that I cheated, weren’t you, Rachel?”“Leave her alone,” Anna snapped at him.Dalton turned his attention back to her.While the couple was locked in a heated argument, Rachel used that opportunity to slowly back out of the room without a word. Once she was outside, she instructed the employees not to enter the room as long as the two were still inside. The employees were quick to heed her words. After thanking them, Rachel left the company thinking that the person in charge absolutely knew how to orient employees.Meanwhile, Dalton was staring intently at Anna, waiting for her to apologize. After all, she had not given his supposed infidelity at least a shred of doubt. Anna was quiet for a while before pulling out a fresh set of divorce papers.“Well,” she said as scowled at the papers on her hand. “We don’t have to get divorced because of infidelity.”“What?” Dalton demanded.“Let’s get this

Rachel entered the hallway of the Guevarra family mansion. She was already familiar with the place, having visited multiple times before with Anna. She turned to a corner and arrived at the sitting room.Nora was seated near the table, examining a model of a yacht. Scattered in front of her were the rest of her presents, some already opened, while the rest were still delicately wrapped.Rachel approached her and took a seat in front of her.“What’s with the toy?” she asked, gesturing to the yacht.Nora looked at her before dropping the yacht on the table.“It’s Aunt Rhea’s and Uncle Nero’s birthday gift. They gave me a luxury yacht.”Rachel raised an eyebrow. When she arrived at the party, it was already late, but she still got to talk to Mrs. Hale who mentioned offhand that Anna’s choice of gift outshone hers once more. She joined in the laughter that time, agreeing. But she had no idea that Mrs. Hale’s gift had been a yacht!For Rachel, the luxury yacht was a more amazing gift, but

Dalton Guevarra concluded a meeting among the executives. There wasn’t anything urgent, but he just wanted to make sure that everything was right on track. The board members applauded his thinking. It was indeed best to supervise everything right from the start, rather than be caught off guard when things start going downhill. Dalton shook hands with some of the senior executives before leaving the meeting room. He headed straight to his office. He had spent the night in his company after yesterday’s events. His office had a private room which he sometimes uses for a nap when work becomes taxing. Although, last night was the first time he had spent an entire night there.He couldn’t quite face Anna that night. Shame and guilt had been gnawing inside him after their fight.He had promised himself back when he was in The Isles that he would never mention Lara during their marriage. Definitely not in front of Anna. But not only did he mention Lara’s name, he even made it seem like h
