When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 203



When Clyde made such a scene, everyone just went from speculating about him and Rachel to being almost certain that Rachel was indeed his old flame.

"Rachel isn't as pretty as Melanie, how could Mr. Patterson fall for her?"

"It's not just about looks with an old flame, sometimes it's the vibe, the connection."

"I did some snooping, and it turns out Rachel has been by Mr. Patterson's side through thick and thin, working part-time jobs together, spending every day together. They must be childhood sweethearts."

"Coming from similar backgrounds, experiencing life in the same ways, no wonder they clicked."

"This time, the boss lady has met her match. A high degree plus an emotional connection, I'd say Melanie, game over."

Even Lina came to probe, wondering if Clyde had reignited an old romance.
