Chapter45
Terrence also remembered. However, he hung up the phone not because he was impatient.
It was because he didn’t want Valerie to hear the vulgar language at the drinking table.
Seeing Terrence was indeed worried, Malcolm hooked his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. Valerie will be back in a couple of days.”
Hadn’t it always been like this before?
Valerie couldn’t live without Terrence at all.
“She went back this time to marry Ricky,” Terrence said, tilting his head back and taking a sip of his drink.
The bitter wine slid down his throat.
Malcolm was so surprised.
It took a long time before he managed to
to speak.
“Are… Are you kidding me?!”
Terrence turned his head, and there was not a hint of a joke in his stern face.
Malcolm still couldn’t believe it.
Valerie, who used to chase after Terrence, unexpectedly got married in Washington D.C.
Impossible!
It was absolutely impossible!
It was even more impossible than him overtaking Terrence to become the wealthiest man in Houston!
Malcolm took several gulps of alcohol before finally returning to reality.
“So, you two broke up?”
Terrence felt a tightness in his chest and didn’t want to admit it.
Malcolm said, “Isn’t that great? You and Margaret have finally waited through the storm to see the moonlight.” Terrence’s brows furrowed tightly.“Why do even you think there is something between Margaret and me?”
Malcolm was baffled. “Weren’t you two together a long time ago? Later, because Margaret was receiving treatment abroad, Valerie took advantage of the opportunity and became your girlfriend. Now that your real girlfriend has returned, Valerie, the mistress, stepped down voluntarily. She’s being sensible.”
Terrence’s mind buzzed.
“Margaret and I have never been in a romantic relationship. Who told
you
that?”
Meny
“Didn’t you say before the media that Margaret was the person you wanted to protect?”
Terrence’s slender fingers pressed tightly against his temples. “I did indeed say such words, but I was referring to someone I was protecting, not a girlfriend.”
