Together Apart: Her White Moonlight Has Returned Too-Chapter 125: Getting Married Before the New Year
Vera Yves hardened her heart and pushed him hard, but he wouldn’t budge. Seeing his frown and increasingly painful expression, Vera didn’t know where his wound was, so she dared not push any harder.
"Shouldn’t you be in the hospital right now?"
"I wanted to see you."
There was only a medicinal scent on him, no smell of alcohol.
"Let go of me! Winston Valentine, aren’t you about to marry Cecilia Vaughn? Aren’t you afraid she’ll see you like this?"
"Do you care?"
"It’s none of my business. You forgot, you promised me that we’d have nothing to do with each other’s marriage, funeral, or celebrations in the future."
"What if I say I regret it?"
Vera laughed softly, "What does that have to do with me? When you made me abort that child, there was never a chance for us again."
Their child.
Bitterness spread across Winston Valentine’s heart. If she hadn’t aborted that child back then...
"What are you doing?"
Cecilia Vaughn appeared at the second-floor staircase, looking at the two people "embracing" on the stairs with her blood boiling, "Vera, dare you say you haven’t thought of getting back with Winston!"
Winston Valentine relaxed his grip, and Vera finally pushed him away.
Cecilia walked up to her, raised her hand to slap her, but Winston grabbed her wrist, "What are you trying to do?"
Looking at his icy expression, Cecilia had a hurt expression on her face, "What do you think I’m doing? She’s seducing you! She wants to take revenge on me! Winston Valentine, are you still going to protect her? Don’t forget, she killed our child! She made me..."
"Miss Vaughn, words must be backed by evidence. You know very well how you fell down the stairs."
Vera’s expression was indifferent, "Also, please manage your man, and keep him away from me in the future!"
Vera turned and went downstairs.
"Vera, what are you so proud of? Do you really think Miles Monroe will marry you? Do you think The Monroe Family would let a divorced woman in?"
"My affairs are not for Miss Vaughn to worry about."
Vera didn’t even turn back. She glanced at her palm and saw it was stained with blood, then went straight to the first-floor bathroom to wash her hands before leaving the Valentine Family.
Cecilia saw Vera leave and plaintively looked at Winston Valentine, "Winston, didn’t you see, she doesn’t feel a bit sorry for me!"
Winston Valentine gave no response and went upstairs. He entered the bedroom, Cecilia wanted to follow him, but he blocked her at the door.
"Winston, your face doesn’t look good, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Winston Valentine just looked at her coldly, "Do you really want to marry me that badly?"
"What do you think? You know I’ve liked you for so many years."
Cecilia’s eyes looked at him affectionately, "All these years, I’ve never liked anyone else! But what about Vera? She just divorced you recently, yet she’s already with Miles Monroe, which means you were never in her heart..."
"Whether I’m in her heart or not doesn’t need you to tell me," Winston cut her off, "I’m tired, I need to rest."
"Winston..."
Winston Valentine directly closed the door. The bedroom still retained the look it had before Vera left. Although they didn’t stay much in the old estate, most of the things inside were Vera’s.
It almost felt like he could still see her moving around the room.
When did she say she had feelings for him? Even though they were married for all those years, he hardly treated her well.
Cecilia looked at the tightly closed door and clenched her palm fiercely. Where did it go wrong? Clearly, she had orchestrated everything perfectly!
An innocent child, and her inability to have children in the future, was supposed to make him feel guilty and marry her.
But why did nothing go in her expected direction? Instead, after divorcing Vera, he grew more and more distant from her, and when he returned to the old estate, he would just lock himself in the bedroom and never come out.
What’s in that room? It’s full of Vera’s traces!
He likes Vera that much! To the point that even if she were his sister, he wouldn’t care?
Vera returned to the apartment, with several notification messages on her phone, all related to Jane Shea’s scandals. In recent days, Jane Shea’s black materials have mushroomed out, dominating the headlines of major online platforms.
"Jane Shea bullying classmates"
"Jane Shea’s father disabled"
"Jane Shea is a gold digger"
Several tags were continuously pushed to the top of trending searches, but were quickly taken down.
According to insiders, because Jane Shea was terminating her contract with her old company, all these scandals were released by her old company with the purpose of destroying Jane Shea’s star path.
Jane Shea has many fans, but their ages are relatively young, resulting in online fights with various people, causing Jane Shea’s public favor to decline rapidly.
Vera wasn’t interested in these matters and arranged to go shopping for clothes with Linda Young the next day.
"It’s rare that you actually want to buy clothes." Linda Young smiled at her, "Are you planning to meet the future in-laws?"
Vera helplessly looked at her, "It’s to meet Grandpa Monroe."
"Miles’ trick is clever, win over the head of the household first. As long as Old Master Monore agrees, who dares to oppose?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Actually, I haven’t thought that far ahead." Vera seemed melancholic, "I just want to have a good relationship, I haven’t thought about getting married again."
"You liked Miles Monroe so much before; now that you’ve finally made him your boyfriend, hurry and use the marriage certificate to tie him to your side!"
"What can a marriage certificate tie down?" Vera’s expression was calm, "If it’s not yours, what use is it to hold tight?"
"That sounds like you don’t like him as much anymore."
"I liked him before, like a moth to a flame without regard for consequences. Now I like him, it’s more of going with the flow."
Vera bought several outfits, shoes, and even some new cosmetics.
Miles Monroe was still very busy during the day, only managing to stay at Vera’s apartment for two or three hours in the evening. Sometimes, they listened to music together, watched movies, or even organized documents.
Sometimes Miles was so tired that he would fall asleep watching a movie, and Vera would let him rest on her lap, just like she used to rest on his lap when she was a child.
On the day of visiting The Morgan Estate, light snow was falling, and they arrived with gifts at the living room.
Old Master Monroe had been waiting inside, instructing the servants to take the gifts, and smiling at Vera, "It’s cold outside, come inside to warm up."
Vera changed her shoes and followed Old Master Monroe into the living room.
Today, she had deliberately applied exquisite makeup and wore appropriate clothes, but she was still somewhat nervous.
The servant brought hot tea, and Vera politely thanked them.
Holding the teacup finally warmed her up a bit, "Grandpa Monroe, have you been in good health lately?"
"Call me Grandpa," Old Master Monroe looked at her disapprovingly, "You’re the one who took care of my health, aren’t you aware of how I’m doing?"
Faced with his reproachful expression, Vera relaxed and smiled.
Old Master Monroe shifted the topic, "Since you two are together, you might as well settle the wedding before the end of the year."
