Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 890: 263: Hua Hua makes a move, Stand still! _6
 

“Good morning!” Delia Frieman smiles as she looks back.

She feels that people with a profound cultural background are different.

Like Rachel Barton.

She is indeed very polite, she would say good night in the evening and good morning in the morning.

Dolores Frieman continues, “Did Rachel not sleep well last night? Your dark circles are quite heavy.”

Sleep well?

How could she possibly have slept well!

Because of what Delia did, she had several nightmares throughout the night.

She dreamed that everyone knew about Delia’s scandalous deeds.

Everyone started to avoid her.

In the end, the school even expelled her.

That dream was both chilling and too real.

Because Rachel knew, there would be a day when the dream would become reality, and everyone would eventually leave her.

So, the best solution at the moment is to have Delia marry that twice-married man.

Thinking of this, Rachel looked at Delia, “Ella, have you considered what I mentioned to you yesterday?”

“What’s the matter?” inquires Dolores curiously.

Hearing this, Rachel looked at Dolores and retold the matter concerning Mrs. Neagle living downstairs.

Rachel thought Dolores would agree with her perspective. Unexpectedly, Dolores frowned and said, “That’s not a good thing. The man has a child. Nothing is harder in this world than being a stepmother!”.

Everyone always says that the heart of a stepmother is like the sting of a wasp.

No matter how dedicated a stepmother is, she will eventually end up with a bad reputation.

Not to mention, the man’s child is only ten years old.

A ten-year-old child, you raise with all your efforts, in the end, he may just turn around and look for his biological mother.

Dolores watched Delia and advised, “Ella, you need to seriously consider this matter. Being a stepmother is not an easy role.”

After all, Delia is now independent and surely can find a man who truly loves and prizes her. Why would she need to become someone’s stepmother?

Delia nodded, “Mmm, I’m not in the mood to think about that right now.”

Rachel didn’t say anything, only thinking how suffocating this home has become.

She genuinely is trying to do what’s best for Delia.

Yet Dolores, because of her own selfish desires, opposes it.

Being a stepmother, so what?

Being a stepmother is far better than doing the most degrading work in the red-light district!

But they are after all her sisters, and Rachel couldn’t be like Dolores and disregard their feelings.

Rachel went on: “Sister, Mrs. Neagle did mention that though the man is twice-married, his character is not flawed and he is a widower. His conditions are indeed quite good, and he is a local guy from Capital City.”

Dolores still shook her head.

Rachel knew this topic was not going any farther.

Yes.

If Delia got married, who would provide living expenses for Dolores?

Dolores’s salary is only a bit over three thousand.

While Delia provides her with four thousand in living expenses every month.

There are only a few mouths to eat at home.

She usually lived in the dormitory, where could she spend four thousand in one month?

That’s too selfish!

Rachel had thought that Dolores was a reasonable and good sister, but it seems that she too inherited her parents’ selfishness.

Rachel didn’t say anything else, only looking up at Delia, “Ella, you should think it over carefully.”

Delia knew that Rachel was considering the problem from her perspective.

Her past indeed made it difficult for many people to accept.

But she isn’t ready to get married so quickly.

After all, she still has many goals she has not achieved.

At the very least, she wants to buy a house for Rachel first.

After having a meal.

Delia arrives at the company.

On normal days, the first thing she sees when she enters her office is the bouquet on her desk.

But today.

Her desk is empty.

No flowers.

Delia took a deep breath; it’s an expected outcome, she should get used to it.

She doesn’t know what’s going on with her, she and Noah Reed haven’t even begun anything, yet her heart hurts more than if they had broken up.

“Good morning, Ella.”

A team member greets Delia.

“Morning.”

Delia nods in acknowledgment.

The team member looks at Delia’s desk, then at Delia’s face carefully, but sees no difference.

It’s strange.

Delia hasn’t received flowers today, isn’t she a bit disappointed?

On the eighth floor of the company.

A young girl hurriedly runs into the office.

“Susan! Susan!”

She looks around but doesn’t see Shannon White.

Just as Rita wonders where Shannon might be, Shannon walks through the door with a bag in hand.

“I’m here.”

Rita immediately walks over to Shannon and exclaims excitedly: “Something big has happened!”

“What big thing?” Shannon White asks.
