The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 298

“Miss you.”

Theodore, still waiting to board his flight, replied: “You are only permitted to miss me three times a day: morning, afternoon, and night.”

Penelope laughed out loud, hugging her phone. Theodore, the most reserved person she knew, was sending her such a cheesy line.

She typed back: “I know you must be very busy, so you only need to read the first two words.”

Theodore: “Do you know the two best things in the world?”

Penelope: “What?”

Theodore: “Sleeping and thinking of you. Or, to put it more simply: sleeping with you.”

Penelope immediately snapped a selfie and sent it to him with the caption: “A garden full of spring can’t be contained. Here’s a little temptation for you. Interested?”

Theodore: “I can always change my flight to tomorrow. Should I come back now?”

Penelope: “No! I was wrong!”

She sent a flurry of pleading emojis, genuinely begging for mercy. After last night’s… activities, her bones still felt like they were rattling around. Any more, and she might just fall apart completely.

At breakfast, it was once again just her and Mr. Anderson. Mr. Johnson had left for the office early. With several major projects running simultaneously, KINY Group was incredibly busy, and Penelope knew she needed to get back to work and help out. After breakfast, she took her father to the cemetery.

“I promise, I’ll listen to you,” he nodded.

After taking her father home, Penelope called Timothy and told him Mr. Anderson was leaving the next day, asking him to spend some time with their dad. Then she got in her car, planning to head to KINY Group. She had just pulled out onto the road when a figure suddenly jumped in front of her car, forcing her to slam on the brakes. Her heart pounding, she got out angrily, only to see Lucien’s nephew, Chasel Lancaster, standing in front of her.

What is he doing here?

Seeing her, Chasel grinned and waved. “Cousin! I heard you and President Stapleton got married a couple of days ago. Such a big day, and you didn’t even invite your family. How rude of you.”

Penelope’s eyes narrowed. “What are you doing here?”

Chasel straightened his tie. “I’m here on behalf of the Stone Group to discuss a business partnership with you.”
