Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 140:

Ursula’s expression soured instantly. With the family’s finances tight, why was her husband splurging on expensive alcohol? Did he even consider her and the children?

“Madeline, are you mistaken? Julio always comes straight home after work. He doesn’t frequent bars or similar places!” Ursula defended her husband. “He loves me and our children very much.”

Madeline smiled cryptically. “Ursula, just dismiss it as hearsay from me. The gifts I’ve given have never been returned. How about we have a meal together and reminisce about our sisterly bond?”

Zara replied icily, “I’ve informed my husband that I’ll be having dinner at home. Let’s arrange to meet another time. Based on your demeanor, it seems you’ll be staying in Glophia for a while longer.” Her words indicated her disinterest in further conversation.

Ursula also declined, saying she needed to cook for them. “Perhaps another time. I’ll take my leave now.”

Two minutes later, both Zara and Ursula departed, leaving Madeline alone in the mall. She gripped her phone, anticipating a call from Derek, who knew she was at the mall but hadn’t bothered to inquire how she would get home. Worse, he had just scolded her over spending a few hundred thousand.

Derek, whom she knew from the past, wasn’t like this.

Suddenly, Madeline pondered Zara’s and Ursula’s situations.

Zara, aware of her husband’s infidelity, lived a carefree and lavish life due to his wealth. Conversely, Ursula, married to an average man, grappled with everyday struggles, which took a toll on her mental well-being.

Contemplating the Carter family’s diminished wealth and Derek’s altered demeanor, Madeline chewed on her lip, fiercely wrestling with her inner turmoil. Derek, regardless of her actions, would love her eternally. So, why shouldn’t she fight for her own happiness?
