"Huh? You're back on stage?" Sofia asked with a hint of surprise in her voice. "Well, of course. If the opportunity arises, I'll definitely go. What else am I supposed to do?" I had thought about starting at the junior level in the family business, but I'm not really into that. Plus, my parents were in pretty good health conditions, they didn't need for the mont. I wanted to chase my dreams again. Sofia patted on my thigh, "I always want to tell you this. Since you were the Cello bella of the College, it would be a real waste if you just beca a housewife. Don't worry, if there's any classy music event, I'll put your na forward!" I made a clapping gesture of gratitude, "Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll pick up the tab tonight, no need to be shy!" After a few drinks, I wanted to be back ho. I called Jas to pick up. I had just hung up when I heard a familiar voice, "Eliana?" I turned around, it was Joshua. "Joshua, what are you doing here?" I asked. "I work part-ti nearby, just finished my shift. Eliana, have you been drinking?" Joshua must have slt the alcohol on . I held my head, feeling a bit queasy, and nodded. The alcohol was starting to hit and my mind was a blur. "Joshua, can you drive?" Joshua responded, "Yeah, I can. If you're not feeling up to it, I can drive for you." What a good boy. I tossed Joshua my car keys then told Jas on the phone not to co. "Eliana, is this... your car?" Joshua was clearly surprised and a little envious when he saw the black Panara. I was having a splitting headche and replied, "Yeah, it's my car. Set the GPS and take to Starlight Estates." "Starlight Estates?" Joshua was shocked again. The property prices in Starlight Estates were sky-high, he must have heard about it. Seeing Joshua dumbstruck, I moved closer and leaned against his shoulder. This drunken behavior always leads to a romantic atmosphere.
Joshua snapped back to reality, realized our close distance, and quickly supported . He blushed, "Eliana, be careful not to trip off." I pretended a drunken laugh, "Joshua, you're so considerate. Your girlfriend must be really lucky. Unlike ! A failed marriage. Owning nothing except money. Look, this car is just the most common one we have. If you like it, I can give it to you!" "No, no, Eliana. You've had too much to drink. I'll get you ho." Joshua quickly shook his head and helped into the car. Joshua drove very carefully and slowly, probably afraid of scratching the car. I sat in the passenger seat, pretended to sleep, occasionally opening my eyes to check where we were. After a while, Joshua spoke up, "Eliana, we're near Starlight Estates. Where's your villa?" "My House." I answered with my eyes closed. Joshua entered the villa number into the GPS and drove ho. Once the car stopped, I took out a was of cash from my purse and handed it to Joshua, "Here's your fee for driving." Joshua looked a bit flustered and quickly handed the money back to , "Eliana, you don't have to do that. I was just helping out. It's not a business transaction." "Just take it. It's late and it'll be inconvenient for you to get a taxi. Drive this car ho and call tomorrow, I'll send my driver to pick it up." I unfastened my seatbelt and got out of the car without waiting for Joshua's response. I went straight ho. As soon as I got ho, I woke Cherry up and asked her to make a glass of lemonade to sober up. Without any complaint, Cherry imdiately went to the kitchen to prepare it. In a couple of days, Damon would be attending a business conference, getting closer to eting his true love. And I was getting closer to my freedom.
But tonight, after a while, I heard the car engine shut off outside, and soon Damon appeared before . He glimpsed , who was slumping on the couch in the living room. Then he sat down on the other side. He slled strongly of alcohol, just like . "Ma'am, your lemonade is ready." Cherry placed a glass of freshly made lemonade in front of and respectfully greeted Damon, "Mr. Coleman, you're back." Damon glanced at her, expressionless, without any response. I sat up and gave Damon a bright smile, "You've been drinking too, haven't you? Drink this. Cherry, make another one, please." Cherry nodded and went back to the kitchen. "No need." Damon didn't even touch the glass. I was secretly pleased. This was the lemonade made by his future mother-in-law. In order to chase Ariel, he should have been nice to her. However, He's being indifferent to his future mother-in-law today. How is he going to leave a good impression on her in the future? Cherry brought out another glass of lemonade. I told Damon, "This is the lemonade made by Cherry, who was woken up in the middle of the night. If you don't drink it, you're being disrespectful." Cherry quickly responded, "Mr. Coleman, ma'am, it's my job as a nanny, it's no trouble at all." "He's just rude and has a bad temper, Cherry. Don't take it to heart." I spoke softly, to compare the coldness of Damon in front of Cherry. He fell head over heels for Ariel, right? I was just adding so obstacles to his pursuit. "No, no, ma'am, you're being too harsh!" Cherry was starting to panic. "Alright Cherry, you can go rest now." I waved my hand, indicating she should go back to bed. Once Cherry left, I drank half a glass of lemonade and then went upstairs to shower. Damon, as usual, went to the guest room to rest. Just as I ca out of the shower, I found Damon sitting on the bed in the master bedroom, still in his pajamas. I frowned, "What are you doing in my room?" Damon looked equally irritated, "My parents are here. They're staying in the guest room tonight."
I was totally shocked and confused. His family had always been looking forward to a baby from Damon and , but they had never co to Starlight Estates to urge us in person. But why would they suddenly show up today? "Why is it so out of blue?" I was all over the place. "Out of the blue?" Damon sneered. "What have you said to Jones? Don't you know what you've done?" So that was the reason Damon ca ho tonight. It turned out to be in response to his parents' 'surprise inspection in the middle of the night. I swore, I never thought Jones would spill the beans, let alone got Damon's parents over to my house. What trouble! "I didn't say anything to him, and just asked him to persuade you to divorce ." I didn't want to take the bla for this. "How would I know he'd go blabbing to your parents?" "How long are you planning to play this ga?" Damon was clearly getting annoyed, his fone beca hostile. I didn't respond. Instead, I just opened the drawer and took out the divorce agreent I had prepared beforehand. I had already signed it and I had no intention of taking any of Damon's assets. I just wanted a divorce. I handed the divorce agreent to Damon and then started applying a face mask. "Once you sign, you'll know if I'm just ssing with you. The atmosphere of tension was getting horrible. Through the vanity mirror, I could see Damon's face turning grimr. you, won't you?" Just as he was about to rip up the divorce agreent, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
