Boomerang Love

Sure enough, Ivan sought out the Bentley-driving woman shortly after leaving the law firm.

Inside the cafe, Ivan lost the arrogance he'd maintained at the firm. He suddenly took on an air of melancholy, and his expression was filled with concern.

The woman, Simone Terrell, grabbed his hand. "Ivan, what's going on?"

Ivan looked at Simone hopelessly and said, "My case opened yesterday. My wife's family's accusation couldn't stand on its own, and they couldn't produce any evidence,

"As a result of their inability to release their frustrations on me, they wrecked my car."

There was no anger in Ivan's eyes as he said this. There was nothing but sadness, Simone patted his hand consolingly, Ivan continued, "I don't understand why the Coleman family is insistent on making me their scapegoat. Why do they need to take it out on me?

"Jessica and I have been married for more than two years. Due to her health, she wasn't able to have children.

"My parents and I hadn't said a word of complaint. Out of fear that she'd feel pressured, we never even talked about children in front of her.

"I think Jessica must've acted rashly out of guilt. I feel pity for her. Other than work, I've done nothing but take care of her for the past few days. I'm also footing all her medical bills.

"I have no idea why my mother and father-in-law aren't letting me go. Although I can understand their feelings, I'm also a regular person. Why did they have to drag me down with them and ruin my car?"

Simone grasped his hand tightly when she saw him so down.

She said, "Ivan, some people are selfish. You don't have to take it to heart. As long as you can answer to your conscience, they can only accuse you if they have supporting evidence. They can't just do as they wish."

Ivan nodded sadly and responded, "I'm aware of that. I don't know when this ridiculous show will end. I Sal*th the Find Dølel.not website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

also hope that Jessica wakes up soon. They'll be speechless then."

Simone was silent.

Then, she pulled out the keys to her Bentley SUV and stuffed them in his palm. She said, "Oh, right, Ivan. Since your car has been destroyed, it must be inconvenient to go to work. You can drive my car for now!"

Ivan immediately pushed them back to her and replied, "That's impossible, Simone. How could I take your car?"

Simone was a divorcee and an entrepreneur six years older than him. They had met each other in the gym.

When Simone saw Ivan trying to give the keys back to her, she pushed the keys back into his hands.

"Ivan, don't be so polite when it comes to affairs between us. Besides, I have so many cars. I can't drive all of them. Just take it for now!"

She continued, "Right, do you have enough for your wife's medical billa?" She then pulled out 20 thousand in cash and handed it to him.

"Coincidentally, I happen to have 20 thousand in cash. Take it. If it's not enough, do tell me."

"Simone," Ivan said, looking at her with a grateful expression on his face.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Simone pushed the money and the keys in his direction and said and said om seriously, "If you treat me as your girlfriend, don't be so courteous with me."

Ivan gripped Simone's car keys and cash. He said genuinely, "Simone, I will pay you back."

Simone responded, "We'll talk about this in the future."

They left the cafe a short while after Ivan had accepted her gifts. They headed to the nearby hotel.

They only left the hotel at 6:00 pm.

The sky had already darkened, Ivan looked depleted of the energy he seemed to have been infused with when they entered the hotel.

It looked like he had put in his best effort to earn the 20 thousand dollars and her Bentley.

"Wow. 7 hours. They sure know how to mess about," Oliver remarked. After snapping a picture of them walking out, he kept his camera and left.

At the same time, Naomi had arrived home after work. Surprisingly m Brendan was also home early. He even had an apron on and was fussing around in the kitchen.

Naomi leaned on the doorframe and watched Brendan with both hands crossed over her chest, as though she were scrutinizing something fascinating.
