Chapter 0019
Miranda had finally left that sem. She should never return to that jerk.
Miranda shook her head No, I didnt.
Thank goodness. Winter sighed in relief. Oh, right. Are you free tonight? I need you help
After meeting the colleges higher ups, Tina was full of smiles as everything had gone according to her plan. It cheered her up after the setback shed encountered at Christines place.
Come on, Mom. Get in the car, she prompted.
Frowning, Evelyn withdrew her gaze from the library. You should go first. 1 have something else to do.
Then, she called the other driver to come and pick her
- up.
Tina thought Evelyn was going to some other social gathering again and didnt mull over it. Unbeknownst to her, once Evelyn got into the car, she instructed the driver, Drive me to Hansels office.
Hansel had just come out of a meeting when he saw Evelyn frowning and marching toward him.
Tensing up, he asked, Mom, why are you here?
Why? Am I not welcome here?
Thats not it. Hansel scratched his nose.
Evelyn snorted. Going straight for the couch, she sat on it before saying, If you cant handle your woman, I dont mind helping you.
Hansel was utterly baffled. Evelyn continued, You should see how Miranda behaved today, and its all because you pampered her!
Hansels eyes widened. Miranda? What did she do?
Good question! I met her at Bedford College Library earlier. All I did was say a few comments, and that set her off! She called me mean and implied that I was uneducated! Ha! As expected of someone from a humble family! Shes. totally illmannered!
Hansel frowned. You met her at the library?
Yes. Instead of staying home to prepare meals and do the chores, she went to the library, pretending she was someone welleducated. Did she think Id applaud her for that? How ridiculous!
She even told me you two broke up and that we should treat each other like strangers from now on. How could she speak to someone older in such a tone? Does she not want to marry you anymore?
Hansels eyes darkened.
Out of nowhere, Evelyn asked, Have you two really broken up?
For some reason, Hansel denied it. How could that be?
Evelyn snorted. I knew it! Women like her wouldnt easily give up on a wealthy boyfriend once theyve gotten their hands on one. Anyway, now you know what happened. Remember to teach her a lesson when you get home!
Her complaints irritated Hansel. He interrupted, Mom, stop it. I have another meeting later. Ill get someone to take you home.
But Im not Evelyn tactfully stopped talking when she noticed that Hansel was getting increasingly annoyed.
She continued, Alright then. Ill head back for now. Dont let her off the hook that easily. You should discipline your woman. When its done right, then only will she be obedient!
Hansel hummed in agreement. After sending her on her way, he loosened his tie and sighed.
He stared out the floortoceiling window at the sunset. He didnt want to return to the mansion. Remembering that Ingrids birthday was coming up in a couple of days, he texted Calvin to ask for his opinion on what gift he should. buy.
Calvin replied immediately, evelty is a womans best friend. A bracelet or necklace might be good enough.
Hansel texted, I dont know how to choose. Come with me
Calvin was puzzled. He didnt have a giftient how would he know to choose jewelry?
They decided to meet up at Lans Emporium, a highend mall. When they went to a jewelry store the salleswoman astres smilingy What are you looking for?
Hansel replied, A gift for my girlfriend
What about this necklace designed for women in features a heart design which is both lowprofile and sweer wellsuited for young ladies.
Calvin wasnt wellversed in jewelry. After a mere glance, he looked around at the store, disinterested immediately after he called our in excitement, Miranda?
Hansell tensed up for a second before thing around nonchalantly.
Winter was attending a business banquet tonight. She was busy at work, so shed asked Miranda for a four shed wanted help with collecting a custom- made accessory shed ordered from the store
Miranda hadnt expected to run into Hansel and Calhin there. She smiled at the latter. Cal
Its been some time. Have you been busy? Cabin glanced Hansels way before continuing, what a coincidence Stall we have lunch together?
