The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 587 Rendezvous With His Floozy

Natalie recognized the woman for whom Thomas abandoned his wife midway through a funeral as the same one who was beside him when he squandered a hundred million on stone gambling at the black market.

As if it was not bad enough that Thomas was unable to shed a tear at the funeral, it turned out that he was worse than that; Coming out for a rendezvous with his floozy before his own daughter’s body had been cremated!

Natalie gnashed her teeth as she felt aggrieved on behalf of her late mother.

“What are you doing here, Yeva?” Thomas snarled with his eyes gawking. “Today’s Melissa’s funeral, so stop messing around! What if someone were to spot you here like this?”

“So what if anyone were to see me? Wouldn’t that be even better?” Yeva wrapped her hands around Thomas’ arm without the slightest bit of inhibition. “Since you’ve already grown weary of that old hag, and her daughter is already dead as well, you should take the opportunity to kick her out from the Nichols family!”

“What? Are you crazy?”

“Am I wrong to say that?” Yeva retorted. “I’m carrying your child, and the doctor says that there is an eighty to ninety percent of it being a boy! If he should become your heir in the future, without his own mother having any legal status, how do you expect he and I to face the world?”

“I’d be responsible for both you and the baby,” Thomas comforted. “But we can’t deal with this like this, Yeva! Especially not today! If anyone sees us, we’d be finished!”

Yeva remained pertinacious.
