Chapter 20
“Oh! I haven’t tasted your cooking for a long time either. I’ll go take a bite!”
The driver then started the car.
Fia gave Eileen a good look. Three years ago, they were both university students. They were still so
immature.
Now, Eileen had already grown to become a sexy and attractive woman, becoming Hollywood’s newest
superstar
Meanwhile, she had become Mrs. Maxwell. She had no career and she had not improved her fine art skills
at all.
I’m quite envious of you, Eileen,” Fia said from the bottom of her heart.
Eileen was dumbfounded. She placed her hand one on top of another as she looked at her freshly– done
nails.
She then said, “I was just joking with you. Yes, I have my own home and car, and I’m quite famous too… But I lost a lot of things.”
“What happened?” Fia asked worryingly. Eileen was the only one that she was close to.
Eileen gave it a thought and shook her head. “It’s nothing. We all have to suffer a little in life. Suffering isn’t scary What’s scary is that our hearts waver, and we feel like giving up sometimes.
She extended her arms and gave Fia a big hug. “My dear Mrs. Maxwell… We have to stay strong, no matter what ”
“Yeah…” Fia gave Eileen a hug as well.
Both of them quietly cheered for each other as they suppressed the terrible thoughts inside them.
“Mom, Grandma, where have you been? Why didn’t you take me along?” Fia asked as she led Eileen into
the mansion hand–in–hand.
Eileen removed her mask and gently greeted them. “Long time no see, Ms. Echo, Mrs. Thea.”
The two of them squinted and looked at Eileen.
“Eileen?”
“Yes, it’s me.” While Eileen looked prideful to outsiders, she was actually someone warm and friendly amongst friends and family. She sat down in between Echo and Thea and continued, “I thought you wouldn’t recognize me anymore.”
Echo nodded and said, “I almost didn’t. You’re becoming prettier and prettier.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Thea also agreed. “You’re getting more confident too.”
When the two of them looked at Fia, they both were very saddened.
The two of them were around the same age, and they didn’t look that different. But now, Fia was much more reserved.
That was the scar left behind by an unhappy life.
“You should stay here and chat while I cook. Eileen, please take care of my mom and grandma.”
Fia and Mrs. Taylor went to the kitchen while Eileen asked what happened to Fia.
Echo and Thea knew that the two of them were very close They hoped that Eileen would take good care
of Fia for them.
“That’s ridiculous!” Eileen said as she gritted her teeth. “It has been three years! How did Esme become so shameless?!”
“Fia was worried that we’ll get upset, so she didn’t say anything,” Echo said in anguish.
Thea huffed and continued, “They had already openly shown themselves while holding hands. Now, the entire Gryphon knows about this already. They’re not even hiding it anymore!
Eileen frowned and asked, “So… Will you agree to Mr. Maxwell divorcing Fia?”
“No,” Echo and Thea said together.
Eileen then asked worryingly, “But Mr. Maxwell had already said that he wanted to divorce and Fia even agreed to it.”
Thea nodded. “That’s why Echo and I will stop Esme instead.”
Echo held Eileen’s hand tightly. “Fia’s your best friend, so please talk to her about it. Esme no longer treats her as her cousin. Even if she chooses to give up and leave, Esme will not give up hounding her
Thea then followed up. “Even if there’s no avoiding the divorce, we will protect Fia’s rights. We won’t allow her to be kicked about so easily by anyone!”
Eileen nodded. “I believe so too. Once Mr. Maxwell is back, we’ll give him some more pressure. We’ll show him that Fia is not alone. If he harasses Fia, we won’t let him have a day of peace!”
“That’s right!”
