She forcefully smiled. “I’m alright.”“Don’t lie, it’s written all over your face that you’re not okay,” Abigail insisted while swinging Estelle’s hands back and fro, “why didn’t you tell me about what happened back then in the hospital? You’re my best friend, but I guess that isn’t the case for you huh! If I knew what you were going through, I would’ve been there with you through it all!”Estelle could not help but let out a chuckle. “Abigail, I appreciate that. Thank you.”“Don’t thank me, I don’t need it. Estelle, you were there for me when I was at my lowest, so let me help you now. Camilla’s Skyler’s mistress right? Don’t you worry, I’ll teach that homewrecker a lesson!”“It’s okay, you don’t have to.”“Why not?”“Because things weren’t working out between Skyler and me anyway. What he said was true, we’ve filed for divorce.”Abigail started sniffling and it took her a while before she regained her composure. She then gently comforted Estelle. “To be fair, I don’t know what

Estelle was taken aback. She could not find the right words to explain her relationship with Sir at the moment. It did not seem right if she explained that they merely shared an employment relationship.It was as if Sir treated her as his liver. He observed her every movement and decision. He was also always there for her when she needed help.The last time he helped her was when she needed financial help with her mother’s hospital bills. Then, he paved an opportunity for her to return to the Sanders Group. More so…They slept on the same bed every night, but nothing happened. “Miss Sanders, let’s go now.” urged the driver. Being the considerate person that she was, Abigail did not say much after that. She held Estelle’s hands in hers and reminded her again. “Estelle, there are still other ways to solve your problems. I can give you money if you need it, you don’t have to keep an old geezer company.”Estelle smiled gently. “Sir’s not some old geezer. He’s a young lad.”“A

Upon the mention of her daughter, Estelle could not help but feel vulnerable. Though at the same time, she felt heartbroken. It had been quite some time since she last saw her daughter. A child that young needed her mother the most. Though she knew Skyler would never mistreat the child, how could someone like him possibly know anything about caring for a child?It must have been right when they said a mother and daughter’s hearts are connected. It was as if she felt how much her daughter missed her. She felt the crippling pain in her heart as if someone tore it apart. “Sir, may I know when I can see my daughter?”The man did not give her a definite answer. “Wait a while more.”“Can you let me know when exactly?”“What’s the rush? Your daughter won’t disappear into thin air.”Estelle held her words back. She was indeed in a rush. She did not even have a clue as to how much longer she could have lived. All she knew was that she would have regretted it if she was not ab

“Oh, speak of the devil, there they are!” Abigail spotted the lovebirds and she wore an expression that could kill. Estelle came back to her senses and looked toward the direction Abigail gazed toward. She saw how affectionately Camilla held onto Skyler’s arms. Camilla then said something to Skyler and he almost immediately bent down to check her legs. He responded quickly as if he was really worried. Camilla then stomped her foot in a rather coquetry manner, and Skyler flashed her a doting smile while he helplessly stood back up. Both of them then entered a jewelry shop together. “What are they doing in a jewelry shop?” It was as if Abigail suddenly realized something, she then exclaimed, “Please tell me Skyler isn’t planning on proposing to that phony?”Unfixing her gaze, Estelle replied in a composed manner. “He ought to be married by now.” Camilla and Skyler’s marriage was postponed for almost six years. If it was not for Estelle, Camilla would have already been Mrs. Flynn

Still caught in a daze, Abigail was dragged back into the jewelry store. She did not have a clue as to what was happening. “Hi there,” pointing to the pair of rings in front of Skyler and Camilla, Estelle put forth, “I want that pair of rings.”The saleslady was startled. “Miss, didn’t you… not want the rings just a while ago?”“I changed my mind! The ring is stunning with its simplistic design and it’s to my liking. Please wrap it up for me. Where should I make the payment?”The saleslady froze for a few seconds. “You can make the payment here at the counter. Oh, Miss, the ring can be customized, do you need me to take your measurements?”Estelle asked, “How long does it take to be customized?”“Around two months or so.”“It’s all right then. I can’t wait that long. Let me just have this pair.”Estelle handed her bank card to the saleslady. The saleslady proceeded to swipe the card. Seeing how the POS machine quickly printed out the receipt of payment, Estelle felt an odd s
