The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 239

cean's cousin was holding

her phone, recording a video for Sean's mom. She pointed her phone directly at Sean and recorded Sean's polite and attentive movements.

Sean's cousin seemed satisfied. Im sure this is going to work out. Ms. Berret seems quite pleased with Sean. I bet they'll have a wedding very soon!"

Sean's mom had been eagerly waiting for Sean's cousin's update on Sean's blind date. Right after she watched the video, she nodded with satisfaction. She thought Sean had matured quite a bit after.

While Sean's mom and cousin chatted happily about the potential wedding, the atmosphere between Sean and Joan was far from pleasant. With mounting frustration, Joan read through the ten family rules. She was on the brink of losing her temper Gritting her teeth, she whispered, "Sean, are you kidding?"

Sean said with an innocent look, "Ms. Berret, you think I'm lying? No way! We have been following these family rules for generations. Anyone marrying into our family must follow them

Sean opened a health-tracking app on his phone. "Look, Ms. Berret, I'll be in my office Monday to Thursday. I took Friday off to buy some clothes for today, I walked 2 miles to the mall. I walked here too." Sean said sincerely, "Walking is actually quite good for both physical and mental health.

Joan sneered coldly, "Forget about it. Your family deserves someone better!"

Sean looked surprised. "Didn't Ms. Berret just tell me we were a perfect match?"

Joan refused it decisively, full of disdain and sympathy for Sean "Not at all! Just forget what I said. I'll tell my family I am not interested in you. Don't worry about it. I'll pay the bill "You even have a rule about allowance and you need receipts if you want reimbursement. I don't want to ask for the receipts when I am at a bar surrounded by pretty toyboys!"

Just the thought of it gave Joan goosebumps. She thought it was horrible nightmare.

Sean looked downhearted. "Well, alright then. I thought I finally found a soul mate. Well..."

During the meal, Sean maintained his gentlemanly manners. If Sean hadn't had such a pretty face, joan wouldn't have eaten. anything. She felt like she was paying for some eye candy to eat with her.

As soon as they finished the food, Joan tossed a stack of cash on the table, put on sunglasses, and confidently walked out. Sean calmly put the cash in his pocket and called the waiter over to pay the bill.

Sean's cousin quickly walked over to him and asked, "Why are you leaving right after dinner? Aren't we going to watch a movie or take a walk?"

Seeing that she looked very eager, Sean gave a deceptive yet charming smile. "Ms. Befret has work tomorrow so she can't stay here for too long."

Sean's cousin said, 'Is that so? No problem, then. Next time, you can have another date and get to know each other better.

Sean snorted and thought, 'Next time? Really?"

He made up an excuse to leave. He overheard his cousin and his mother's happy voice messages before he left. Sean held back his laughter until he reached the parking lot. After he got into his car, he finally burst into laughter 07:46 Sat, Nov 9

uncontrollably. Heaven-kney he was about to go mad holding back his laughter!

He was laughing so hard in the car that he couldn't keep his back straight. Sean didn't forget to call Xanthe to share the good

As soon as the call was answered, Xanthe shouted angrily in frustration, "Sean! Do you even know the time difference between us? I'm sixteen hours behind you! It's only four in the morning here!"

"Sorry, I forgot about the time difference. I just wanted to share my excitement with you immediately. Sean coughed and said proudly. "Your lousy idea actually worked!"

Xanthe was speechless.

She was so furious that she cursed Sean and his family. Since Senn had woken her up, happened. Sean explained everything and couldn't stop laughing she asked him about what had

Xanthe, completely puzzled, said, "Wait, Joan is a nice woman. She even wanted to collaborate with you. Why did you drive her away?"

"Are you silly? How many women can resist my pretty face? If Joan wants to get serious later, I will be at a disadvantage! I won't be able to get rid of her!"

He knew his mom's personality all too well. Once things got official, trying to break up would be almost impossible. He had to solve any potential problems!

His words made Xanthe's mouth twitch. She said, "You have no shame.

But Sean's concern was solid. His pretty face was definitely attractive to wealthy girls.

Xanthe said, "Alright then, congrats on solving this problem. I'm going to sleep now. Don't call me again." Then he decisively hung up.

Sean was still overwhelmed by happiness. Looking at his phone after being coldly hung up on it, he clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "It's a good thing Xanthe's a tomboy. Otherwise, I would have to worry she would love me. That'd be a headache Far away in La Vigo, Xanthe sneezed and quickly covered herself with a blanket.

It was Shakira's first-time taking care of cats. In the first few days while in the hospital, she only gave the kittens milk and other cat food so they just ended up with round little bellies.

Little did she expect that in just a few days, the kittens grew from having round bellies to chunky little paws. Later, even their tails seemed thicker. Not only the kittens but also the big cats had gained some weight. Even the orange cat was getting fatter.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

During lunch breaks in the hospital, Shakira opened the app to watch the surveillance footage. Levi and the other mak would occasionally feed them.

In this villa with nearly a hundred servants, these little animals became everyone's favorites. They were fed with delicious food and extra snacks every day. No wonder they were getting fatter and fatter! Looking at them, Shakira even found her food tastier.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Shakira said, "Come in

The person who pushed the door open was Kevin, followed by Felix, wearing a white lab coat Shakira looked straight at Kevin and said, "Mr. Jones."

She completely ignored Felix like he was invisible.

Kevin automatically glanced at Felix. Seeing that he didn't say anything, it seemed he was already ready for the cold shoulder.

Kevin said, "Dr. Lonely Bird, are you having lunch? How about we wait outside..."

Shakira said, "No worries, Mr. Jones."

Kevin laughed, "Here's the thing: Dr. Lonely Bird, since you want to stay here, you need an assistant. Felix volunteered to be your assistant so he can learn from you." Hearing this, Shakira slightly raised her eyebrow. She turned to Felix with a thoughtful look. It seemed she had remembered something.

She remembered in her past life after she and Yvette had the kidney transplant surgery, Yvette recovered much faster than she did. While she was still bedridden and recuperating. Yvette joined a variety show during the winter break and Felix also joined it too. Yvette and Felix had outstanding faces and with their prestigious family backgrounds and the marketing paid by the show producers and the Nelson family, they quickly gained lots of fans. Back then, everyone in Crescentville praised the Nelson family's excellent upbringing.

Yvette and Felix, being rich elites, were kind, good-looking, and snart. People even said Yvette was the leading socialite in Crescentville.

Back then, while Shakira was still bedridden, she even knitted a unique butterfly shawl for Yvette to celebrate it.

Thinking about it now, Shakira thought, Leading socialite? Does she really deserve it?"
