President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 221

I turned off my phone and pretended I had not seen it.

I went downstairs to Daisy’s house, and I was afraid she would ask me, so I bought some fruits and prepared to go upstairs.

As soon as I reached the stairwell, I saw a man standing at the elevator door playing a mobile game.

I made sure it was Jack.

He saw me. His eyes were all bright, “Oh, Mrs. Jessop, have you gone out? Great, can you take me in?”

“Don’t call me Mrs. Jessop. I have nothing to do with him. If you are looking for Mrs. Jessop, you need to visit Cindy.” I said this and continued, “I can’t take you in. This is not my house.”

“Mrs. Jessop. Sean and Cindy were only friends who grew up together." Although Jack was older than me, he respected me when he talked to me. "Really. Sean only has you in mind. Last time he told me personally.”

I was going to press the elevator.

After hearing Jack's words, I retracted my hand and looked at him.

He saw me stop and continued, “Really, I went to drink with Sean that time. He drank too much and told me. For the rest of his life, if he still get married, you must be the one he marries.”

I looked at Jack, and in my heart, it was complicated.

But I soon realized that this was a lie he used to trick me into taking him to Daisy. I barely smiled and said, “Jack, you have to make a draft next time you lie. Mr. Jessop refused me to marry a few days ago.”

“Ah?” Jack looked surprised.

At this time, the elevator came to the first floor because of someone coming down, and the door opened.

A woman came out.

I stepped into the elevator and Jack wanted to come up and I stopped him outside the door. “Jack, you should know Daisy. If you do this, it will only make Daisy even more angry.”

Jack listened to me and stopped the steps he had intended to take.

He stood at the door and watched the elevator door close without further action.

When I got home, Daisy was doing yoga in the living room, and I told her about seeing Jack, and the woman just rolled her big eyes. “He just called me. I didn't answer.”

During the day, Daisy was going to receive training.

I was at home and thought of Jack’s words, I couldn’t calm down at all, and turned out Ward’s phone number. I hesitated ...

Even if it was to give up!

I relented, put on my makeup very carefully, covered the scars on my nose, and still put on a mask and went to that movie theater.

In order to pretend to be a chance encounter, I bought a ticket of cartoon on the Internet in another hall.

When I entered the movie theater, I was not in a hurry to check the tickets. Because it is daylight, there are not many people in the cinema.

I waited for a while. Their movie was about to start, and I haven’t seen Sean and Cindy.

Was I cheated?

When I suspected something, I heard someone say, “Look, that man is so handsome.”

I looked in the direction of the fingers beside me.

I saw Sean.

He was wearing casual clothes today. Cindy beside him was wearing a blue sweater with a white coat hanging on Sean’s arm.

They came side by side.

It looked so harsh to me.

“Miss Carter?”

When I looked at them, Cindy found me.

She offered to say hello to me.

Sean also looked at me and he seemed to be a little angry.

For a moment, I was a little overwhelmed.

When they came up to me, Cindy naturally asked me, “Miss Carter, do you also watch movies?”

“Well...” I held up my ticket awkwardly and smiled reluctantly. “I’m bored and I’m not at work, so I watch a movie...”

The next day, I found a time, called Cindy and asked her to meet me.

As far as I know, although Cindy had several clothing brands and supermarket chains, they were also managed by someone else. She didn’t need to worry, so she had a lot of time.

As soon as I said it, she agreed.

We were meeting at a coffee shop near the York No.1.

When I saw her, I didn’t want to go around and talk about it directly.

After she heard me say I was going to buy back my grandma’s house, Cindy was silent for a while before saying, “Actually, my friend has lived in the last two days. If you told me earlier, I ...”

“I am sorry. I know I am being unreasonable, but my grandmother left me this house, and I really want to take it back.”

I looked at Cindy, and her expression was very embarrassed.

But after listening to me, she hesitated and said, “Well, I’ll call him and ask.”

Cindy said and took out her phone from her bag to make a call.

I heard her say “thank you” after she told that man the situation about me.

I knew it should be fine.

After all, Cindy was a reasonable person to me, and her friends were not bad.

Cindy hung up the phone and said, “He agreed. But he needs to find a house again recently, which may take a month.”

“thank you very much!” Didn’t mention that I had to wait for a month, and there were no problems for two months. After that, I asked Cindy again, “So, the price...”

“Just the original price.”

I was almost on my knees when I heard Cindy say that.

To tell you the truth, if she raised the price more, I may not be able to pay that much money.

After talking about the house, Cindy looked at me and said, “Miss Carter, don’t you hate me?”
