“Sir Fergerson, he and I are doing well. You don’t need to worry.”She spoke gently, offering him a cup of tea.“Compared to this, you should be more concerned about your body health.”Upon hearing this, Sir Fergerson’s cheeks immediately flushed with vitality, and he could not control the smile creeping up his face.He had initially thought that Caleb was oblivious, but it turned out that the boy had good taste. No wonder he was trying so hard. He had already won her over.Seeing the young couple so in love made his probing visit seem pointless, so he happily sipped his tea.“Penny, if anyone else bothers you, don’t hesitate to stand your ground. If there’s anything you can’t handle, let Caleb handle it.”Penny dared not say too much on this topic, fearing it would reveal too much. Thus, she changed the subject.An hour later, she got up to prepare some soup.“Penny, let the others do these things. You shouldn’t have to do it yourself.”“Sir Fergerson, this is something I pr
After replying, she knew Caleb would not respond, so she sent him another message using her work number.[Mr. Fergerson, should I wire the compensation money to your account? Please give me your account number.]Just a minute ago, she borrowed money from him, and now she was using it to repay her debt to him. Penny did not feel guilty at all.Seeing the message, Caleb furrowed his brows. Where did she get so much money from?Was she not still renting with her husband?The damaged car could be covered by insurance, and he was originally making Jenni pay just to make things difficult for her.When Penny stood up to bear the compensation, Caleb never really expected her to come up with one million in cash.However, looking at her behavior of taking everything upon herself, a cold scoff crossed his eyes.Just as he was about to reply, Winston called, asking if he was up for drinks.Caleb just grabbed his coat from the side and drove himself to the bar.Penny had come to the bar t
Everyone initially thought that Caleb would not participate as he had always disdained such games, which often revolved around petty romantic affairs.Moreover, Winston was really adept at stirring up trouble.Therefore, when they heard that Caleb wanted to participate, the atmosphere at the scene became even more heated. All the single women immediately straightened their backs, hoping for a dare so that they might have a chance with Caleb.Everyone in this circle knew that Caleb was with Charlotte in the past and had remained single for many years. They all said that he was staying celibate for Charlotte’s sake.Thus, all those who wanted to become Mrs. Fergerson should stop dreaming.Nonetheless, even a little flirting session with the handsome Caleb would be a memory worth cherishing for a long time.Before the game began, Winston made a statement.“Since everyone wants to play, don’t be sore losers if it’s a dare.”After saying that, he glanced at Penny and smiled slightly
Caleb had initially maintained a casual aura, but upon hearing the question, his body stiffened.Winston chuckled, quietly took a sip of his wine, and kept a low profile.The others present were all looking at Caleb, eager to hear his answer.Caleb had gotten together with Charlotte so early. They must have done it a long time ago, probably when he was 18 or 19?Penny, too, was intrigued. She curved her lips and glanced at him.Everyone knew about him and Charlotte, so his first time was probably with Charlotte.After all, young men and women burned with passion.Moreover, they were both alumni of Imperial City University. The circle there knew how to play around. They frequented nightlife venues since childhood.Caleb noticed Penny’s look of enjoyment and, for some reason, felt a slight annoyance.“When I had just returned to the country. It was the night of the Fergersons’ banquet.”Was that not just recently?Everyone was taken aback, but they also knew that Caleb would n
The look in everyone’s eyes changed after hearing that. If Penny had slept with Caleb in the past, there was no doubt he would be the person she chose. They had already slept with each other, so there was no need to get their panties in a twist over a kiss. That was Winston’s opinion, anyway. Would Penny kiss a stranger if the two had already slept with each other? She did not seem to be someone who was this open. Penny lowered her head hesitantly. She knew there was no way she could go to Caleb. Everyone thought she had slept with him after he answered two questions in a row, and there was no way she could proclaim her innocence if she took the initiative to approach him now. She scanned her surroundings and decided on Jeremy.There was no way Jeremy would mind kissing her for 30 seconds when he was a womanizer.Besides, he knew of her relationship with Caleb too. It would make things much easier to deal with in the future. “Ms. Penny, are you done considering? Who w
No one else said anything. They were not blind and could tell Caleb was displeased. Besides, Penny’s initial plan had been to go to Jeremy. She had only ended up accidentally kissing Caleb because Selina had shoved her.Everyone had initially suspected Penny to be the one who had slept with Caleb, but they could set their worries aside now. The women present began exchanging suspicious looks with each other. Meanwhile, Penny became the target of their jealousy. She got to kiss Caleb Fergerson! His lips were so thin. They must have been enjoyable to kiss. When Penny finished apologizing, she noticed the bottle had begun spinning again.The vibes had turned awkward because of the kiss she and Caleb shared. Several people wanted to tease them but were too afraid to direct their teases to Caleb himself. They kept their mouths shut when they sensed his chilling aura. However, Selina’s actions warranted some berating. Hence, someone muttered… “Selina, don’t you think you ov
Penny’s initial plan was to repay the one million dollars and sell her house once the transaction went through. She would not take advantage of Caleb and would consider the interest rate when making the payment.However, Caleb was throwing a tantrum and refusing the money now. She did not know what was going through his mind. Caleb was about to say something else when Winston’s voice rang out. “Caleb, aren’t you going to leave?” Winston had had plenty of drinks, but he was not drunk. He immediately saw Penny standing in front of Caleb.“What secrets are you guys exchanging?” Caleb was the first to back away and walk off, once again increasing the distance between them. To be polite, Winston nodded and acknowledged Penny before walking away with Caleb. Penny remained standing still for a short while before she walked out of the place and retrieved her phone to book a designated driver. A car pulled to a stop before her. When the windows rolled down, Asher’s face appeared
Laura soon replied. [We said goodbye just a while ago. He has an urgent meeting with his boss. You know how it is. He works so many jobs.]Laura was a rich heiress, but Mason was truly, genuinely broke. A rented apartment of about 40 square feet was all he could afford now, but he made up for it by being young, handsome, and willing to work hard. Of course, Penny only knew about these strengths because Laura had told her. Apparently, Mason had worked four jobs every day since he was a student to fund his school fees and living costs. Laura’s family, on the other hand, was in the diamond business. They were the biggest diamond dealers in the country, and she never had to worry about money since she was a child. Penny was surprised that Laura would date Mason. Only recently did she learn that Laura had not told Mason that she was an heiress. In fact, she even pretended she was not well-off to better integrate herself into Mason’s life. She told him she worked as a waitress
