Chapter 166

Meanwhile, at the small rental house that Jane and Dominic shared, the landlord called to ask if Jane wanted to continue renting the place.

Jane’s heart tightened. There were many memories belonging to her and Dominic that were tied to that place. Despite being angry with him, she couldn’t bear to let go of such memories.

“Mrs. Murphy, could you give me an answer? the landlord shouted loudly, “If you don’t want to continue renting. Fll rent it to someone else! My house is in high demand now!”

“You can’t give it to anyone else!” Jane blurted out. “The contract we signed was for a year, and it hasn’t expired yet!”

“It’s true that it hasn’t expired, but you still have to pay the rent, Mrs. Murphy!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t owe you!” Jane pouted, “I’ll transfer the rent to you later!”

“Also, please pay attention, I am not Mrs. Murphy!” she raised her voice. “My husband’s surname is Campbell!” she clearly told the landlord.

“Oh… alright, Mrs. Campbell!” The landlord didn’t care if it was Murphy or Campbell; as long as there was money to take, any surname was acceptable.

Jane hung up the phone, sighing helplessly.

Kassie smiled and placed a hand on her daughter’s shoulder, raising an eyebrow as she asked, “What did you just say?”

Jane was taken aback.

What did she say?

Did she say that her husband’s surname was Campbell?

Jane’s face turned red in an instant. She lowered her eyelids, remaining silent for a while, and her heart started to beat restlessly.

“Jane,” Kassic smiled gently at her, “I may always appear confused at most times, but I can tell that you still like him very much, am I right?”

“Mom…” Jane whined.
