Chapter 358 Concern
In the Bullock's.
Ceres did everything but failed to persuade Caleb to go to the hospital for a check-up.
She tried to be reasonable, but Caleb was stubborn. Moreover, he started to lose his temper because
he was sick. Once Ceres mentioned the hospital and the examination, his face immediately changed.
One day, Caleb started to work out on the lawn again, and he seemed professional.
Ceres walked over with a plate of fruit and sat on the grass. She started to eat fruit.
Caleb was sweating all over after working out. He wanted to eat something to quench his thirst when
he saw that Ceres had already eaten more than half of a plate of fruit.
"Hey! Didn't you bring me the fruits? Why did you eat them?"
Caleb handed the thing in his hand to the servant and walked to Ceres. He also sat down and took a
few strawberries from Ceres's plate.
Ceres did not say anything and continued to eat fruits.
"Why aren't you talking? Aren't you going to persuade me to go to the hospital?" Since Ceres kept
persuading him, Caleb had gotten used to it. So when Ceres stopped nagging, he felt a bit strange.
"It's useless. You just don't listen to me. It's good that you die early. Then I can inherit all your property.
Anyway, I don't care about you. If you die earlier, I will be free," Ceres said.
Caleb immediately slapped Ceres on the back of her head. "You bastard! How dare you curse me!"
Ceres also did not fight back and did not say a word.
Caleb suddenly laughed, "You are really a clever girl. You knew it was useless to nag, so you changed
your strategy, right? Let me tell you, I won't be fooled so easily!"
Ceres stuffed a strawberry into her mouth and gave Caleb a thumbs-up. "You won."
"Young miss, are you admitting defeat so soon?" Caleb asked proudly.
"What else can I do?" Ceres said, chewing a strawberry in her mouth.
"Let me help you out."
Ceres turned to look at Caleb, who was good at tricks in her heart.
"If you can make me happy, I will listen to you and go to the hospital for a check-up and cooperate with
the doctor."
Ceres lowered her head. "Caleb, do you think I'm a fool? That's vague! The word 'happy' is too
subjective. What if you trick me with that? What can I do?"
Caleb poked Ceres's head with his finger, "You're my daughter. No wonder you are so smart!"
Ceres rolled her eyes.
"Alright! Then I'll be straightforward with you. Before I die, I have two concerns. Firstly, I worry about
you. I don't trust Johny. I'm also afraid that you won't be able to manage the company. Secondly, I
worried about Roy. I brought him up. He has done too much for me and the company. He isn't married
yet."
Ceres had a feeling about what Caleb was going to say.
"So?"
"It is easy. You divorce Johny immediately and then marry Roy. Killing two birds with one stone! All my
worries will be removed. And I will be able to rest in peace even if I die!"
Ceres once again gave Caleb a thumbs up.
"Did you agree with me?"
"In your dreams!" Ceres placed the fruit plate on Caleb's thigh. "I don't care if you are going to the
hospital or not."
After that, she returned to the villa in a huff.
Caleb looked at her back as she left. He was still a little proud. Of course, he knew that his request was
a little too much. However, it was all for her own good.
Caleb believed that she would agree in the future.
Somehow, Caleb was confident.
Ceres paced back and forth in her room. She thought, 'I'm so stupid to stay here. Caleb has never
taken care of me. Why should I care about his life?"
But she was a soft-hearted person. She just could not make up her mind to leave.
Ceres took out her phone and sent a message to Johny, wanting him to pick her up. However, finally,
she deleted the message.
She decided to go out and take a walk. The small balcony was a good place.
In the wind, basking in the sun, she felt very comfortable.
The sounds of footsteps came from not far away. It seemed that servants were coming.
"There is such a big red mark on the face of Ms. Ceres. How can she get married in the future?
Although Mr. Caleb will leave the family business to her, she is a girl. What if her family business is
taken away and she is abandoned?"
"You don't have to worry about this. Ms. Ceres is already married and has even married into a rich
family."
"Oh my god! I actually didn't know. However, her face has already been ruined. Does her husband love
her? All those rich people's wives are pretty. Many rich people are old, but they still marry young and
beautiful girls."
"That's true. Ms. Ceres was originally quite good-looking, but the red remark on her face gave me a
fright when I saw her!"
Ceres listened to the discussions, and she felt sad.
She didn't want to say anything. What they said was the truth, and the two servants were objective.
She knew very well that as long as the red regard on her face was still there, gossip would not go away
from Johny, her kids, and her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She took the phone out and used it as a mirror to look at her face.
The red remark on her face was really scary, covering half of her face.
"Why are you talking at work?" A berating voice sounded.
The two servants quickly apologized and left immediately.
Roy walked to the balcony, and Ceres had just put her phone into her pocket.
"Why are you back so early today?" Ceres pretended that nothing had happened.
"You seem to have concerns. Don't take what they said seriously."
"What they said is the truth. It doesn't matter. I've got used to it," Ceres said bitterly.
Roy could actually tell that Ceres was just pretending to be laid-back.
Every girl cared about their face.
"Did something happen between you and Johny?"
Ceres was surprised that Roy could see through her mind at a glance.
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to say if you don't want to. I just want to be a listener."
"Nothing. It's just that I can't get over it," Ceres sighed deeply.
