CHAPTER 117

At noon, Selena was still resting in bed, with Delle massaging her feet. Kathy was feeding her spoonfuls of fish soup.

“You are observing every move Rebecca is making, aren’t you?” she glanced at Kathy. “Yes, ma’am, and I think your son-in-law, I mean, Benjamin didn’t give up yet,” she said.” He called her mobile over 100 times. I wanted to delete the call history, but I didn’t know the password. Now, I’m sure Rebecca ma’am would have seen that. I wonder how she felt after checking her mobile.” “You should have destroyed the phone!” Selena yelled. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but please don’t feel stressed. It’s not good for your health.” “Tsk,” Selena could hear her own heartbeat after yelling just once. She had become a lot more fragile after the heart attack. It was like she felt the weight of her heart, and it made her feel quite uneasy. She clutched the bedsheet in frustration. “I’m the one who raised my daughter. She’s my property. I can’t let some random guy own her. I wanted to force George into her life, but with his hand like that… gunshot recoveries can take a lifetime. I don’t want to give my daughter a physically handicapped man. Maybe I should just side with Shawn and see how

it works out. Why don’t you give a call to Artur Bonsbell?” “What?” Kathy was startled. Why did she want to talk with Artur directly and not with Shawn? What was she thinking? Kathy could only wonder, but Delle had a guess. If Selena were to talk to Shawn about this, it’d look like she was depending on her son. Delle knew Selena enough to tell that she hated being dependent on others. At a grand, romantic outdoor restaurant.

Rebecca was waiting at a four-seater table until Jane came and gave company. “Why did you call for me to meet here? And you didn’t want Donovan to come?” asked Jane. Rebecca snapped her finger and then ordered chicken tenders, which were Jane’s favorite. She asked for a spicy lemon juice for herself. “You’re not gonna eat anything?” Jane asked. “I will when Benjamin’s here,” replied Rebecca. “What?” Jane’s expression stiffened a little. “Why did you call me when you were going to meet with him?” “Because I didn’t want to talk with him alone, Rebecca said. “He tries to get touchy whenever an opportunity arises, and I become weak when he touches me.” “Yeah, you were always over sensitive about your body,” Jane replied, “to the point my ex boyfriends used to say you think with your vagina because you never let them have a go at it, thinking yours is supremely superior or something. Haha, those were funny times. Anyway, if me being here will help you, I don’t mind helping.” “Thanks,” Rebecca smiled. “I want to talk with him and fix things up, but I can’t trust my

family members. They don’t agree with me and give their own selfish opinions, so that’s why I wanted you to be here.”
