Chapter 566 Are You Trying To Seduce Me?

When Casey left the birthday banquet, her mind was in turmoil. It turned out that she had misunderstood Amanda all along. The woman felt nothing but disgust toward Symeon and wasn’t interested in him at all. So, it’s a one-sided love on Symeon’s part? Then, what reason do I have to ruin the marriage between Elias and Amanda? Wouldn’t that make me a real homewrecker? She had initially thought that she was saving Elias, not keeping him in the dark. But now, it seemed that she was the one being kept in the dark.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to do. She felt that her existence was unnecessary.

Suddenly, it started raining, and she stood in the rain, letting it drench her all over so that she could clear her head.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She took out her phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Symeon. She answered the call in a feeble voice, “Hello-

Symeon’s voice came through the phone. “What’s wrong with you? You sound weak. I just wanted to let you know that Dulcie has a fever. If you’re available, come over. She’s been calling for

After? Casey instantly came to her senses and tightened her grip on the phone. “A fever? I’ll come right away!” Without waiting for the man on the other end of the line to speak, she hung up and hailed a cab.

By the time Casey arrived at Galaxy Bay, the rain had become heavier and heavier. She entered the villa completely drenched.

Penny was startled when she opened the door for her. “Miss Casey, why are you all wet? Don’t you have an umbrella? At this rate, you’ll catch a cold.”

“How is Dulcie? Has her fever gone down?”

“She just took some fever-reducing medicine and fell asleep. She’s been whimpering the whole time. probably due to the discomfort. Mr. Lawrence is upstairs with her.” Penny went to get a towel to dry her

hair

Casey casually toweled her hair a few times and was about to go upstairs to see Dulcie, but Penny stopped her “Why don’t you take a shower first? You’ll catch a cold wearing wet clothes.”

“There’s no need to. I’ll just go upstairs and check on Dulcie-” She had just turned around when she bumped into Symeon coming down from upstairs. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Symeon looked her up and down and said. “Are you trying to make Dulcie worse? She already has a fever, and now you want to infect her with a bad cold? Go take a shower and change your clothes. His tone was displeased, but he was concerned about her

She lowered her head and said, “I’m going to check on Dulcie,”

Symeon was about to speak, but she had quickly gone upstairs. He frowned slightly, wondering what was wrong with this woman. She’s acting strange, he thought.

Casey pushed open the door to Dulcie’s room and saw the little girl lying on her bed, looking sickly. She was still muttering. “Dad… I feel so uncomfortable. I want Miss Casey to make chicken wings for me. I

want to eat them…”

She couldn’t help but laugh. Even when Dulcie is so badly ill, she still wants to eat. She opened a fever patch. and stuck it onto Dulcie’s forehead. Then, she picked up the infrared thermometer and measured her body temperature. She found that Dulcie’s fever was slowly going down, which relieved her.

After staying in the room for half an hour, she found that Dulcie was sleeping soundly, so she went out. She planned to make some oatmeal for Dulcie so that she could eat as much as she wanted when she woke

When she came downstairs, she saw Symeon talking on the phone, and the man also noticed her presence.

At this moment, the rain outside was getting heavier, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

After Symeon ended the phone call, he walked toward the kitchen and saw her busily washing rice inside. He leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms, and watched the busy woman, saying in a

deep voice, “What did Elias ask you to do? Can’t you even hold an umbrella in such heavy rain?”

His tone is sarcastic… Casey merely kept her head down, not wanting to talk because she didn’t know how to face Symeon.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Symeon said again, “Why aren’t you talking? I’m asking you a question.”

“No, I already knew everything… There’s nothing between you and Amanda, and she would never betray Elias. Elias would also never divorce Amanda, so you’d better give up.” Casey didn’t even know what she was saying, feeling that her mind was still in a state of confusion.

Symeon let out a sneer. “So what? What does it have to do with you whether I give up or not? I’m asking you why you got yourself all wet. Are you deliberately trying to seduce me? I’ll tell you what-I’m not falling for it.”

“How could you be so shameless? Who seduced you?” Provoked, she turned around angrily.

Symeon laughed and straightened up, walking toward her. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the kitchen. “What do you mean by this, then?”

“It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just that. I’m quitting. I won’t be working at Winters Enterprise anymore.”

Symeon became even more curious. What exactly happened?

At this moment, Penny returned to the kitchen. Seeing Casey making oatmeal, she couldn’t help but cry out, “Miss Casey, let me do it. You should go rest for a while. You just got soaked in the rain, so rest for a while and warm yourself”

Seeing this, Symeon didn’t stay in the kitchen anymore He turned and walked toward the living room

while Casey got chased out of the kitchen by Penny.

Casey looked at the man in the living room, feeling somewhat lost, especially after knowing the truth.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I’m not. I’m going upstairs to be with Dulcie.” After speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, Symeon stopped her. “What do you mean by saying that you misunderstood me and. Amanda? What did she tell you?”

“No, it’s not that. I’m the one who’s been getting the wrong idea. I had selfish desires and wanted to set you up with her and then take away custody of Dulcie,” she said, speaking the truth in her heart.

Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang once more. She glanced at it and saw that the caller ID belonged to Mr. Waltham, her father’s personal legal advisor. What could be the reason for this phone.
