Chapter 77
Miguel didn’t dare leave his office for even a second, afraid he might miss Andrew’s call. When Sheila called, he immediately hung up
Not wanting her to overthink it, he quickly sent a message on WhatsApp from his computer. “Waiting for an important call. Be good. I’ll contact you later.”
on the other end, Sheila stared at her swollen ankle, her eyes reddening.
Miguel had been distant tor days.
Before he left the country, and even after returning, he had always treated her with the utmost care. He had never been this cold to her before.
Was it because of Enrica?
pilliana had promised that if Sheila helped get Miguel out of trouble, she would officially be accepted into the Zucker family.
But it had been over two weeks now, and neither Jilliana nor Miguel had made any move to acknowledge that promise
Was Miguel… regretting his divorce from Enrica?
But when she first reached out to him after coming home, he had been overjoyed to see her. And when she tested him, Miguel hadn’t even hesitated. He had immediately pushed Enrica into a divorce.
He should love her.
Did Enrica pull some kind of trick?
Sheila bit her lip, a determined look flashing across her delicate face. She had fought too hard for this happiness. She wouldn’t let anyone take it from her
Just then, she heard movement downstairs. A strange glint flickered in her eyes. A moment later, she let out a pained cry. “Ah!”
Startled by the noise, Rohana quickly ran upstairs. Upon seeing Sheila sitting on the floor, her ankle alarmingly swollen, her face filled with concem. “Sheila, are you okay
Sheila forced a gentle smile and shook her head as if enduring the pain. “It’s nothing. I just twisted it. Rohana, can you help me up?”
Rohana immediately
ly stepped forward to support her. “You need to be more careful! I’ll call Miguel and have him send a family doctor over to check your injury.”
Sheila quickly responded in a gentle tone, “Don’t call him. He’s busy. I just need some rest, and I’ll be fine.
Rohana frowned in disapproval. “How can you say that? Your injury looks serious. Miguel has to come back and check on you.
Sheila lowered her head, letting out a bitter smile. “He won’t come back. Don’t bother calling him.”
Rohana froze, staring at her in disbelief. “Did you call him already? Did he say he wouldn’t come? That’s impossible! Miguel treats you like a treasure. How could
he..”
Sheila shook her head, her smile tinged with sorTOW.
“Rohana, men’s hearts can change. Ms. Enrica was his wife for two years, and 1… I was the one who left him behind to pursue my future overseas. No matter what choice he makes, I will respect it ”
Hearing that, Rohana instantly lost her temper.
Her voice shot up, sharp with fury. “What? It’s Enrica? That bitch! Miguel must be out of his damn mind! He has you, and he’s still messing around with that whore?
Sheila quickly tugged at her sleeve. “Rohana, don’t talk about your brother like that.”
but Rohana’s expression had already darkened with rage, “Sheila, leave this to me. Miguel might be blind right now, but the Zucker family will never let a woman like her step through our doors again!”
With that, she helped Sheila onto the bed. “I’ll have a doctor come treat your injury. You just rest, okay? I have something to take care of ”
Ignoring Sheila’s soft protests, Rohana stormed out of the villa.
Sheila sat curled upon the bed, hugging her knees, her delicate face as innocent as ever.
Meanwhile, Miguel sat on the edge, anxiously waiting–until, at last, Andrew from Grandrise Realty finally called,
