Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 139

Jade was having a leisurely afternoon tea, chatting with Father Benedict about various philosophical topics. However, the serene moment was interrupted when Mila and Eugene walked in. After politely excusing themselves to Father Benedict, they quickly ushered her out the door.

"Why are we leaving so early? We don't have anything to do back home," Jade said, puzzled.

"Are you kidding? There's plenty to do!" Mila replied, her voice lowered conspiratorially once they were outside. "Auntie, are you really satisfied just visiting one church? Visiting more will surely bring more blessings!"

Jade paused, considering the logic in Mila's words. While it made some sense, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Wouldn't the saints get upset if she prayed to too many at once? Despite her reservations, she decided to go along with it. After all, she was donating generously at each church.

As the day wore on, Jade found herself increasingly enthusiastic about visiting each new church. Meanwhile, Mila and Eugene were exhausted from the marathon of visits. Their legs ached, and the scent of candles had left them feeling dizzy. They couldn't fathom where Jade got her energy, still lively even as night fell. By the time they returned home, Mila and Eugene were utterly spent, while Jade, with a triumphant air and a bag full of prayer cards, teased them for their lack of stamina.
