"Jennifer, are you done with your stuff? Co grab so fruit, keep your mouth moist," Phillip said with a grin.
She must have had a bit of a tiff with soone just now.
"Jennifer, I heard soone was ssing with you, even spiked your drink?" Shirley was taken aback, even a little pissed. "Who on earth would do such a thing?"
"No worries, I’ve got it under control," Jennifer smiled gracefully.
Noticing she hadn’t had any fruit, Phillip had soone bring over coffee, but Jennifer declined with a laugh. "The girl I t on the road suggested I cut back on coffee, as it could react with the dication and interfere with its effectiveness."
She’d had her doctor friend check it out, and they thought the prescription was top-notch.
Her friends were all worried when they found out she’d taken C30, as there’s no antidote, but that girl was able to help her detox in no ti and prescribed such a great dication.
They can’t stop singing praises for the girl’s dical skills and prescription, and they even wanted to get to know her.
While Jennifer liked her, she regretted it even more.
Phillip didn’t expect his daughter-in-law to be so satisfied with the girl. "Speaking of which, if you et Rose tonight, you’ll definitely like her. You’ll find no girl can hold a candle to her."
"Dad, don’t be so absolute. The girl I t yesterday was smart, beautiful, and very capable."
"No way," Phillip said, shaking his head with a laugh. "I’ve never t a girl better than Rose."
"I’ll invite her over in a few days. Let you see for yourself."
Jennifer couldn’t help but feel the girl she t, lody, was the best in the world.
But Shirley couldn’t help but laugh. "It sounds like you want to bring her ho as your daughter-in-law."
"Well, I really do have that in mind, but she already has a boyfriend. Speaking of which, she seems to know Roo. I saw her driving his car."
"No way."
This ti, both Phillip and Shirley burst out laughing.
"Jennifer, you’ve been away for too long, you’re out of touch. No one but Rose is allowed to touch any of his personal stuff."
"That’s right, only Rose can touch his stuff."
"No way, he must have good female friends in private," Jennifer said, dismissive. "After all, it’s just driving, not kissing or hugging."
But could the bodyguard have gotten the license plate number wrong? It was so dark last night, and Roo had so many cars, it would be normal for the bodyguard to misread the number.
Jennifer thought to herself, there’s no girl more likeable than lody.
"Jennifer, how long are you guys staying this ti?" Phillip asked again.
"In a couple of days, we’ll be outta here," she replied. She just needed to et up with lody, and then it’s ti to go.
Otherwise, their relatives and friends, who were always in the know, would start dropping by once they heard that they were back. They’ll be asking for help with all sorts of things.
They thought they were pretty slick, being careful about where they went and keeping their return under wraps. But sohow, the news still got out.
You gotta hand it to them, these people knew how to sniff out gossip.
"Stay a bit longer," Shirley pleaded. "You and George should drop by the Collins family more often. Their daughter is such a catch, and Roo swooped in and took her away in no ti. We should pay them a visit."
"Right on," Phillip nodded approvingly. "You and George definitely need to visit them more."
Jennifer sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding, no one could hold a candle to lody. lody was the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes.
Jennifer couldn’t resist ssaging lody on WhatsApp.
[lody, what are you up to?]
Rosemary replied promptly: [Shopping.]
[What are you planning to buy? I can help you pick.] Jennifer was eager to help.
[All done shopping.] Rosemary had just paid, and after a thought, she asked, [Are you feeling better today?]
Jennifer was over the moon! lody cared about her!
[I’m much better, your redy worked wonders! How are you so amazing? You seem to know everything.] Jennifer couldn’t resist asking, [Do you live in Sumrfield?]
[Yes.]
[We live in Sumrfield too. Let’s et up for so tea soon. I owe you a big thank you. I managed to find the person who poisoned , thanks to you!]
Jennifer sighed again. [I’ve known her for twenty years, and to think she’d want to kill over so petty gains.]
[People are like that,] Rosemary, her hands full of shopping bags, sent back a voice ssage: "It’s okay if you’re doing better than , but not too much better. Otherwise, your happiness only serves to highlight my unhappiness. So, from admiration to jealousy, and then from jealousy to hatred, if you don’t adjust your mindset in ti, you’ll end up making the wrong move."
[lody, how do you know all these life lessons? And your voice is so beautiful!]
Jennifer didn’t expect such wisdom from a girl in her teens. And her voice was simply stunning.
She was drawn in by her voice during their chat last night.
And now, listening to her voice so closely, her captivating voice was just magnetic.
[I wonder if things would have turned out differently if I had cut ties with her sooner.] Jennifer pondered.
"Right, haven’t you noticed? People who rarely change friends usually grow at the sa pace as their friends. But those who grow rapidly tend to change friends quickly too. Because their social circles are different. Trying to force a relationship would only make the other party uncomfortable." Jennifer listened to her advice, deep in thought.
"So friends are only ant to accompany you for a certain part of your life’s journey. There’s no need to feel regret. As long as you gave all your heart during the ti you spent together and truly felt joy, even if the end result wasn’t what you hoped for or even if you had to pay a price, you’d still gain sothing, right? You’ll definitely et better friends in the future."
[Do you think I could et better friends?]
"Of course, you’re a great person. You’re sure to et friends who truly care about you."
