Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 146

She bit her lip, feeling a bit frustrated, and muttered, "Since you've already had dinner, I'll just tidy up here." Lillian moved to the dining table and began to clear away the dishes.

Before Joshua got home, Lillian had been daydreaming about how magical it would be to have a candlelight dinner together. They would be dancing, enjoying a gentle buzz from the wine, the air filled with the scent of roses. It was all set up to be perfectly romantic! But now, her plans were ruined, leaving her with a bitter sense of disappointment.

She figured she had to take her chance while Allison was still in the hospital. Her eyes landed on the bottle of wine nearby.

Joshua had already headed to the living room, leaving the dining area behind. Taking advantage of the moment, Lillian slipped out the pills she had prepared and dropped them into the wine.

In the living room, Joshua casually tossed his jacket onto the sofa, then leaned back with his long legs stretched out, massaging his temples tiredly. He pulled out his phone to text Allison.

Joshua: [Just got home. Are you asleep?]

There was no reply. It was eleven at night; she was probably asleep by now. A slight pang of disappointment tugged at him.
