Chapter 92
Mikayla fell silent and thought, ‘All right then. Jaxon cheated on me three days before the wedding, so we called off the engagement. And now with Carlos, an accident occurred just a week before our marriage, forcing us to postpone the wedding. Why do my marriages always have problems before they’re supposed to happen? It makes it seem like I’m overly eager to get married.
Tm going out Juliet will come to take care of you,” Carlos said to Mikayla in bed as he closed the door and went out.
“Okay!” Mikayla vaguely knew what Carlos was going to do, so she didn’t say anything more.
‘One must be prepared to face the consequences of their action, she thought. She didn’t know how Carlos would punish them. If Carlos decided to not tell her, she would simply let it slide.
Juliet was woken by her phone shortly after falling asleep. She wanted to silence it at first, but when she saw that it was Carlos calling, she immediately became worried for Mikayla. She picked it up hurriedly. It turned out that Carlos called to ask her to keep Mikayla company in the hotel as he had something to do.
Juliet lay on the bed and nearly drifted back to sleep again. Suddenly, she snapped awake and glanced at herself in the mirror. Seeing her flushed face, she touched her forehead and realized she had a fever. For someone who rarely got sick, she was quite taken aback when she realized she was falling ill.
She thought, “Poor me. I have to take care of another patient! Why doesn’t anyone take care of me? No one cares about me.
In fact, an idea fleeted Juliet’s mind at that moment. She considered calling or texting Brantley to tell him she was sick to get his sympathy. But then, on second thought, she remembered Brantley was in a critical period of work and put the phone down again.
After a quick wash–up. Juliet hurried downstairs, grabbed the breakfast from the table, and headed out. Before the housekeeper could ask what she wanted to eat. Juliet was gone. The old housekeeper shook her head and laughed, remarking silently, ‘Ms. Klein seems to come and go!
As Juliet emerged from the house, Josiah was already waiting at the gate of the Klein residence in a car. Seeing this, Juliet remarked inwardly, “He’s really a good driver for Mikayl
Josiah was dumbfounded when Juliet gave him a thumbs–up. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
There was no traffic jam, not even a traffic light on their way. They arrived at Prairie Hotel shortly after. It was a very pleasant journey, but Juliet kept talking all the way. Even if Josiah didn’t say anything or respond, she could still entertain herself.
After parking the car, Josiah led Jullet to Mikayla’s room Josiah didn’t enter the room. The moment he turned around, Josiah let our a deep breath and felt relieved
In fact, Juliet was not really chatty. She tended to open up more to people she felt comfortable with. If she didn’t like someone, she might go out with them at most twice, and then she would have nothing to say to them completely. Mikayla was the first person in Juliet’s life who left a good impression.
Juliet was a mischievous child. She could wipe her spot and tears on her face and continue to play with others as if nothing had happened. The first time she met Mikayla was at Mikayla’s birthday party. Juliet and Xavier were running around the gathering hall like rural kids. When the music started, Mikayla came downstairs, dressed like a little princess. Then she sat quietly in front of the piano and played it.
At that time, Juliet felt like a clown in front of Mikayla. She was nowhere near as elegant as Mikayla. Gordon had told her since she was a child to learn from Mikayla. Still, Juliet didn’t dislike Mikayla
Instead, she followed Mikayla every day after that meeting. She always went to the Salvatore residence and sometimes didn’t go home for days. Gordon would go to the Salvatore residence to find her. When it happened, Juliet would explain. The learning from Mikayla!”
Finally, Xavier also followed Juliet to the Salvatore residence. Consequently, Juliet and Xavier spent at least one–third of their childhood in the Salvatore residence, Since then, the relationship between the two families has become closer because of their children.
Juliet entered and saw Mikayla on the bed. She had a fever herself, so the sight of the bed was incredibly inviting Juliet kicked off her shoes, walked to the other side of the big bed, took off her coat, and got into bed. “Mikayla, are you okay?”
“Nothing. It’s just a sprained ankle. I guess the wedding will be postponed again Mikayla also lifted a corner of the quilt for Juliet.
“Your wedding is really full of twists and turns.” Juliet sighed while cupping her face.
Mikayla was also rendered speechless by the turns of event.
“Damn it, you’re lucky! Carlos asked me to keep you company before he left. Look at me, though. I’m sick, and no one cares about me.” Juliet pouted, trying to gain Mikayla’s sympathy.
“What’s wrong? Do you have a fever? Mikayla raised her hand to touch Juliet’s forehead and felt warm. “Then why did you come out! Have you
uken your medicine?”
Juliet sniggered, feeling very satisfied with Mikayla’s concern. She leaned closer and said, “It’s rare for me to get sick. I’ll sleep with you and feel
better”
“Then you can sleep next to me.” Mikayla covered Juliet with the quilt and asked, “What has Brantley been up to recently?”
Since Juliet and Brantley started dating, Mikayla hadn’t heard any updates. If there had been any progress. Juliet would have been excited to tell
her. This silence wasn’t like her.
“I’m not very clear about Brantley’s work, but his assistant mentioned that the vice–chairman of the Xosa’s city council is retiring soon. It seems Brantley is aiming for that position. Juliet said.
“No wonder, Mikayla said, lost in thought. If that’s the reason, it makes sense that romance isn’t Brantley’s priority, she thought.
“By the way, Julie, don’t mention what happened last night to Brantley Although Mikayla knew Juliet wouldn’t get involved in their work, she couldn’t help but remind her. She was afraid someone might use this opportunity to target them. In that case, it would be hard to clear their names.
“Don’t worry! I won’t tell him.” Juliet couldn’t help but look at Mikayla mischievously. “You and Carlos were in the same room last night. Did you…?
“You think too much! I’m covered in wounds. What do you think of me and Carlos Mikayla fumed.
“You’re right!” Juliet turned to Mikayla and smiled even more wickedly. “Don’t forget our deal!”
“Well, go to sleep. If you don’t sleep now, I will kick you out,” Mikayla said, half–jokingly, Juliet was really sleepy and dozed off soon after
Looking at Juliet’s sleeping face and listening to her even breathing. Mikayla somehow felt upset. She mused, Although Mr. Klein cares for and Xavier, this still can’t make up for the lack of maternal love. I wonder if Brantley is really Juliet’s Mr. Right‘
