All Chapters of Wild Affection: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"She's your childhood friend. Don't you think it's a bit much that I made her cry?" Elizabeth Black asked.Rupert Washington replied, "Childhood friend isn't used that way. Besides, I definitely stand by my wife."Elizabeth Black's mood brightened. She calmly felt her heartbeat."Are you outside?" she asked.Rupert Washington responded, "I had something come up, so I came to Feng City. I just wanted to let you know that I won't be back today.""When will you be back tomorrow?""Why do you ask?" Rupert Washington was a bit puzzled. She never clung to him or inquired about his schedule. Today seemed different."If you want me to come back, I'll try to make it as early as possible," he said.Elizabeth Black paused for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day."Earlier, she had been chatting with Stacey Charley, who mentioned that her boyfriend had already prepared a Valentine's Day gift for her, and they were planning to go out on a date the next day.Elizabeth Black

"Ah, you're from Jade City! I know that place!" Nydia Leighton said, "I've been there to shoot a drama. The scenery is quite nice. It seems like they've been developing tourism in recent years?""Yeah, the tourism development has been very successful, and it's become quite popular," Elizabeth Black replied.The two chatted back and forth, their conversation light and pleasant. At first, Elizabeth Black was a bit wary of Nydia Leighton, after all, she was her number one rival in love. But she remembered the director's advice: when serving clients, learn from the Tony at the hair salon. Chat with them, and not only will they look good, but they'll feel good too. This way, you build a good reputation. Plus, Nydia Leighton didn't put on any airs, and before long, their conversation shifted from Jade City to family."Do you have any other family members, Dr.?" Nydia Leighton asked.Elizabeth Black paused, momentarily silent. Nydia Leighton looked up at her, "Did I offend you?"She appe

Elizabeth Black was certain, it was Rupert Washington.She would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes.The woman being pulled along by Rupert Washington, running with him, was none other than Nydia Leighton. She was wearing the off-white coat they had just swapped.The hat in her hand slipped and fell.A chill instantly spread through her, from head to toe, piercingly cold.Rupert Washington didn't see her at the corner; he was now pulling Nydia Leighton into the fire escape.Another fire escape. What a bitterly ironic place.Elizabeth Black's body stiffened. She bent down to pick up the hat.But two tears plopped onto the ground.She paused for a moment, then raised her hand and wiped away the tears forcefully.Since their marriage, she had constantly heard people mocking: "You're just a stand-in!"She thought she had accepted this identity.But when she saw it with her own eyes, she realized she still couldn't accept it.It was incredibly painful.On the other

Elizabeth Black was recognized as an outstanding graduate due to her excellent academic performance and a prize-winning paper in the field of innovation. It was a tradition for outstanding graduates to give a speech. Elizabeth Black felt both excited and proud.Rupert Washington came to check on her in the study every few minutes, his mind still harboring thoughts of having his way with her, his eyes glowing like a wolf's. But Elizabeth Black was too busy preparing her speech to look up. The green light in Rupert Washington's eyes dimmed a bit.After taking a shower, he returned to the study. To his surprise, Elizabeth Black was consulting medical texts for her speech. He watched her for a while, then left again. When he came back, she was already practicing her speech. She stood tall and straight, delivering her lines with precision."Ha!" Rupert Washington leaned against the door, watching her with amusement.Elizabeth Black finally realized she was being watched. She felt a bit

"Your mother-in-law is actually a retired professor?" Stacey Charley pouted, "No wonder she has such high standards. Female professors are always so hard to get along with!"Stacey Charley spoke from experience.Her graduate advisor was a female professor.Over the past few years, she had been tormented by her female professor to the point of feeling like she was on the brink of death."Not all of them are difficult to communicate with," Elizabeth Black said. "The one who just talked to me was really nice. She was very kind and down-to-earth.""Really?" Stacey Charley didn't quite believe it.In her mind, female professors only favored their young, handsome male students and were extremely picky with female students.Just like with daughters-in-law, they set incredibly high standards!As they discussed female professors, they also tried to find Elizabeth Black's mother-in-law.But in the end, they gave up.Firstly, there were too many people around.Secondly, she didn't even
