“I advise you to give up, the Berry family is one of the shareholders of the hospital, and you are just a poor man. If you want to compete with me, you should weigh yourself first!” While speaking, Quinn rudely pushed Sean and coldly walked away.
Sean was actually a premature baby and has always had health problems. That’s why Malaya has always been more affectionate towards him since he was young.
In recent years, the Lawrence family has fallen on hard times. Sean realized this and decided to work hard for his family’s better life. After failing his first college entrance exam, he repeated a year while working part-time outside of school. After entering university, he became self-sufficient not only earning money for himself but also taking care of his sister Nora who had lost her mind.
Five years had passed which were enough time for a teenager to grow up but also left him with scars all over his body.
The fact that Quinn and he have become enemies is even more painful than physical pain; it is an indescribable helplessness hidden deep in his heart.
Seeing Sean being bullied by Quinn made Cain worry about him, “Are you okay?”
Sean shook his head, “I’m fine; sorry for disturbing your rest.”
“That’s just how Quinn’s temper is: those who follow him prosper while those who oppose him perish. You’ve offended him and you have to compete with him for spots; he won’t let it go easily so try avoiding him as much as possible.”
Cain was in similar circumstances as Sean both being impoverished students except Cain came from generations of farmers where it took great effort to produce one university student like himself. From countryside to bustling city life brought out Cain’s timid farmer mentality making him the most inconspicuous person in class which kept him safe throughout university.
As one of the two impoverished students in their class, Cain would go collect financial aid funds from school authorities with Sean. Only in this way would he feel less humiliated.
“Thank you, Cain; I’m fine though.”
“The upcoming exams are crucial we don’t know what will be on them so these three days are critical period and we must work harder!”
“Yeah.”
…
Cheyenne didn’t know if what she did was right or wrong while driving home but she never regretted anything she did once committed
“Isn’t it just teaching three college students? Although I don’t have a degree, I am more than qualified, hmph!”
“No use thinking about it now, I’ll go to the supermarket and buy some fruit and cake.”
Cierra asked for fruit in the morning, while Cheyenne herself was craving cake.
Parking her luxury car on the side of the road, Cheyenne walked into a large supermarket. Due to the severity of the flu outbreak, everyone who entered had to scan their health code and wear a mask.
She was no exception.
Once inside the supermarket, Cheyenne who never bought groceries before was at a loss. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to call Kelvin.
Meanwhile, Mr. Foley was in a meeting.
The serious conference room once again rang with vibrations from someone’s phone. The man sitting at the head of table immediately turned cold as his eyebrows furrowed.
In an icy tone, he scolded everyone present, “Didn’t I tell you not to bring your phones into meetings? Are you all ignoring what I say?”
The people being scolded looked innocent as they lowered their heads in silence.
At this moment, Kelvin’s another assistant coughed softly and reminded him, “Mr. Foley… it’s your phone ringing.”
Kelvin glanced nonchalantly at his phone which showed “Honey” calling.
Kelvin quickly picked up his phone while standing up and coldly ordered everyone else present to continue discussing business matters; he had something important he needed to deal with.
What did I discover?
It turns out that Mrs. Foley called him; no wonder Mr. Foley didn’t want any delay even for one second… he really has double standards!
Kelvin walked back into his own office, holding onto his cellphone, then slammed shut its door with a loud bang.
Sitting upright on top of sofa cushions made him appear more nervous than when he first met father-in-law!
“Cheyenne, why did you call me? Did you know that I’ve been thinking about you during the meeting just now? When I looked through documents earlier, I really miss you.”
“How about giving me a kiss?”
Cheyenne was speechless.
Hearing Kelvin talk this way, she almost got goosebumps. Did something happen making him lose sense?
“Behave yourself.”
Mr. Foley who stood over 6 feet tall continued acting spoiled. “I’m telling the truth! I really do miss you. It’s all because my useless employees can’t handle trivia well enough that I’m forced to work overtime.”
Cheyenne rolled her eyes at Kelvin’s words. “Why are you being so dramatic? You used to come home and ignore me, always working late at the office. You just loved overtime, didn’t you?”
Kelvin remained silent.
It seemed like Cheyenne was still angry about what happened in the past.
“Cheyenne, I’m sorry. I know I messed up before, but now I’m a good man who comes straight home after work. You have to see my progress.”
Cheyenne interrupted his excuses with a cold voice. Every time she thought of his past behavior as a scumbag, anger surged through her heart.
“Enough already! Stop talking nonsense! Right now, I’m at the supermarket buying groceries. By the way, do you know what fruit our daughter loves to eat?”
As soon as Kelvin heard that Cheyenne was shopping for their child, his deep-set eyes lit up with joy and he smiled.
“Our daughter loves apples the most and then oranges; Grandpa likes dragon fruit while my favorite is…”
Before he could finish speaking out loud that he liked Cheyenne best of all things in this world, Cheyenne ruthlessly cut off his voice without hesitation. “You don’t have to tell me your favorite, since you’re not honored to eat fruits bought by me.”
Mr. Foley felt wronged,”Alright then… Can you give me your leftovers? Whatever you like must be delicious too.”
“Hehe…” Cheyenne sneered coldly and hung up on him.
Kelvin looked at their call log. It lasted 1 minute 35 seconds. He happily took screenshots for keepsake because they never talked on phone for more than one minute previously.
Wasn’t this ordinary conversation worth cherishing?
He flipped through Line APP on his phone screen and clicked on Cheyenne’s avatar. She was still labeled “Honey”. He quickly transferred her $1000 dollars without hesitation.
Kelvin: “Honey, thanks for the efforts you put in our family! Remember that peaches are my favorite.”
Cheyenne raised an eyebrow.
Honey: “Okay.”
As Kelvin walked back into conference room, he thought that actually what he really liked was her.
