Farewell My Stepfather novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

The address Margie texted her was an estate in the countryside.

By the time she arrived, there were already a lot of people chatting in the

main hall.

They were all friends, and most of them knew things between Nelson and Paulette had been tense lately. Upon seeing Paulette, those who knew the inside story started to whisper among themselves with meaningful smiles.

Noticing this, Margie quickly came over and held Paulette’s hand.

“Paula, you know they always joke around. Just ignore them. Come with me. I want you to meet Johnny.”

Paulette smiled casually.

“It’s fine. What they say is the truth anyway.”

She and Nelson indeed had a fallout because of another woman.

Seeing she wasn’t playing tough, Margie sighed, “Honestly, I thought Nelson would be with you sooner or later.”

She thought, “Paula is so kind and pretty. Besides, Nelson has always. doted on her. How could he possibly not have any feelings for her?

“Does he really love Patricia that much? Or he simply doesn’t even know what his heart wants?”

Paulette smiled, “Perhaps we aren’t meant to be together. I won’t force it anymore. Well, guess what? I bought a gift for Johnny. I hope he likes it.”

Just as Margie was about to ask for more, someone else beat her to it. “Are you seeing someone?”

The familiar voice made Paulette tense up at once. She turned around and saw Nelson, who seemed a bit angry.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Paulette’s gaze inadvertently swept over Patricia, who was standing next to Nelson.

Though Patricia said nothing, she clearly saw the gloat flickering in Patricia’s eyes.
