Chapter 89 - 88

Chapter 89: Chapter 88

I didn’t see it coming that Ariel bringing home a guy who wasn’t Damon even though he wasn’t her boyfriend, just a guy who’s been chasing her. Ariel had him sit. Cherry poured him some water while Dean was giving him the once over from across the table. There I was, sitting with my head in a fog After a bit, Ariel turned to me, Trene, we need to chat "Sure I got up and followed her into a bedroom Ariel got straight to the point, "Eliana, I bet you’re wondering why Damon’s not here I just want to tell you even though I’ve got feelings for him, I just can’t be the homewrecker. I’ve made my stand clear to him, and I’m ready to make Danielpmy boyfriend" Dale was the guy she brought home. "Did he agree?" I asked, a tad uneasy. How could Ariel stand up to Damon? If Damon didn’t agree, she could kiss any chance with another guy goodbye. Whether he agrees or not, that’s his problem, Ariel said, making it clear she’s made up her mind. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something was off. The guy Ariel brought home was definitely not Damon. After leaving the bedroom, I didn’t want to stick around anymore. Cherry invited me to eat, but I declined. She gave me the medicine I had asked her to get, along with some instructions. Ariel chimed in "Mom, what’s that?" A flicker of embarrassment passed over Cherry’s face before she laughed it off, "Why so nosy?" It’s the medicine I asked Cherry to get for me," I told Ariel honestly, "Damon and I have been trying to have a kid. Cherry got me some medicines before, they worked pretty well, but we’re still trying! Since Ariel has decided to reject Damon completely, my words shouldn’t affect her. Still, I caught a flash of surprise and anger in her eyes.

"Goodbye" I smiled again, bid Cherry and Ariel farewell with my medicines in hand, and left. Just as I was driving away, Damon’s car came into sight. Upon seeing me, he made a U-turn and parked in front of me. I rolled down my window, "Damon, what’s up?" "Were you at her place?" Damon looked visibly upset. "I went to get the medicines Cherry prepared for me." I said expressionlessly, "Ariel brought a suitor to meet her parents. Were you looking for her?" Damon got out of the car, looking up at the building with anger written all over him. Ariel was his prey, but she brought another man home to meet her parents. This was definitely crossing a line for him. Suddenly, I saw through Ariel’s scheme. Ariel must have felt Damon’s growing feelings for me, so she came up with this plan to force Damon to realize who he truly loves. Upon hearing my words, Damon was ready to go upstairs. Given his personality, he’d spill the beans to Cherry and Dean today, regardless of whether they’d accept him. I was filled with anger. I stopped him, "Have you thought this through? You’re about to meet Ariel’s parents. This signifies that you guys are taking a step into each other’s families, things are getting serious" He stopped in his tracks, turning to look at me. I looked at him calmly. "If you’ve decided to be with her, then please leave me alone. You can’t keep me on a leash while starting a new life. That’s just not After that, I drove away from the other side. When I got back to Starlight Estates, I quickly drafted a new divorce agreement. If he still wouldn’t sign, then I’d have no choice but to sue him. Even though I was ready with the divorce agreement, my heart was still in turmoil. I couldn’t help but imagine what would happen after Damon stormed into Ariel’s place. Ariel must be smug. Her plan worked like a charm.
