Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 38

Jodie was speechless. She had never thought that was the reason Ian hated Rachel so much.

'Rue again, it's always about Rue!'

Time after time, no matter what phase of abnormality Ian was going through, it was inevitably because of Rue!

This time, unsurprisingly, it was Rue again!

"Even Rue and Edward's child should've been mine and Rue's, it's our son..."

Ian uttered in a drunken stupor, his mind completely filled with Rue and no one else.

Seeing drunk Ian, Jodie quickly stood up from the sofa and held onto Ian's shoulder tightly.

"Ian! Stop sinking deeper into your fantasies! Rue has already married Edward, she will never marry you!"

Ian pushed Jodie away angrily. "Stop your nonsense! Rue is my wife! We have a child together! I know all of you are just jealous of us!"

Falling heavily on the ground heavily, broken shards pierced Jodie’s skin and sank themselves deeply into her palms.

She gasped and as she looked at the shards on her palm, she felt no pain at all.

Blood stained the transparent glass shards on her palm before it dripped onto the ground through the glass shards. Mixing with the white wine on the floor, the dripped-blood manifested into a menacing red.

At this point, the alcohol collected in Ian's body finally took its toll as Ian staggered backward.

Jodie's eyes suddenly widened. As she watched Ian stumble toward an area filled with glass shards, her heart raced.

She immediately clambered up from the ground and caught the falling Ian.

Ian's body collapsed onto Jodie's arm, forcing his weight onto Jodie's shard-laden hands.

Jodie groaned deeply, her face paling almost immediately.

She dragged Ian to the sofa and brought out a blanket from his bedroom to cover him, not forgetting to wipe his sweat off with a tissue.

She then looked at Ian with kindness even though her bloodless lips were by far more noticeable on her pale face.

"Idiot Ian, everyone can tell that Rue’s pleased about marrying Edward! It's so obvious that she chose Edward over you. What are you still unclear about!"

Hearing Ian's steady breaths on the sofa, Jodie exhaled and finally noticed the wounds on her hands.

She inhaled sharply. Although the blood-stained shards were halfway embedded in her hands, she did not cry out or even tear up.

Tensing her jaw, Jodie quickly extracted the shards from her palm and threw them into the bin, violently shaking for each piece she pulled out.

It was only after all the shards were removed that she stopped shaking.

Jodie stared at her wounded, blood-stained hands in silence.

Then, she quietly knelt down to pick up all the glass shards that were still on the ground before sitting on the edge of the sofa, watching as Ian slept.

'I'm fine even just watching him silently like this.'

Suddenly, Rue's phone rang.

After seeing the caller ID, Rue picked it up calmly.

"Mom, how was it? Rachel is settled, isn't she? When is she leaving the Orange Country?" Rue asked after walking to a corner with fewer people.

There was no anxiety on her face because she trusted Mrs. Bennet completely. She knew Rachel had always been obedient to Mrs. Bennet, and she was used to being the black sheep of the family, getting the short end of the stick.

So she should be fine if she continued to get the short end of the stick.

There was a pause on the phone. "Rue, I finally saw her! The child with her is completely identical to the one with you! It's like they came out of the same mold!"

Rachel chuckled and said, "That's alright, mom, as long as Rachel leaves the Orange Country with the child, it doesn't matter how similar they look."

Mrs. Bennet sighed.

The sigh strung Rue's relaxed heart up high as a bad feeling welled inside her.

"Mom, why are you sighing? What happened?"

Mrs. Bennet paused again before she spoke, "I tried everything, but Rachel will not leave the Orange Country! Rachel has changed, she's become persistent. She told me that we are strangers, and she wasn’t even phased when I kneeled at her!"

Rue's brows furrowed, even her lips were pursed tightly.

How did Rachel become so determined within five years? In fact, she had underestimated her, as she did not think Rachel would still be insistent even after Mrs. Bennet had kneeled.
