Chapter 114
Wedding invitations generally included the groom and bride’s wedding picture, but this invitation merely had the names of the couple in artistic style and an image of a beautiful oil painting of a couple nestled together; the only thing missing was their wedding picture. “How maverick!” Linda curled her lips.
Then, Selena put the invitation aside. “Go back to work first. I’ll ask you to come again if I need something.”
“Okay. I’ll be going back to work, then.” Linda stole a last glance at the invitation before leaving.
Subsequently, Selena picked up the invitation again.
The Fowlers actually consulted Meredith when they issued the wedding invitations. The person she wanted to notify the most was naturally Selena, but unfortunately, the wedding was being kept a secret from Pierre, so he might find out about it if Selena were to be informed. Thus, she didn’t include Selena’s name in the list. Conversely, it was Helen who felt that it wasn’t prudent to skip her considering her status. Besides, she’d also heard that JNS Corporation was collaborating with a company under Fowler Corporation, so she had no choice but to send her an invitation as well.
Their wedding is scheduled for the end of the month, which is three days from now. Is the timeframe tight because… Meredith is pregnant again? Other than this reason, Selena couldn’t think of anything else. All of a sudden, a wave of repulsion swept across her. Pierre Fowler hadn’t been idle with Meredith while flirting with me time and again! What a b*stard! Shoving the invitation into her drawer, she then put it at the back of her mind.
In the afternoon, she brought Juniper to her office. She had a video conference with the headquarters at Springvale, so she needed to stay for a bit. Hence, she could only bring Juniper here. “Juniper, there’s cake and milk here, so eat some if you’re hungry. I’ll be back when the meeting ends.”
“Okay, Mommy. You go and work!” Juniper had long since gotten used to Selena’s work, and she’d also been to her office often. After reading for a while, boredom swamped her. When she abruptly lowered her head, she caught sight of a bright red item in the drawer. Thinking that it was a greeting card, she took it out.
Juniper still wasn’t proficient in recognizing words, but she recognized Pierre’s name. After doing a quick check on her cell phone, she found out that it was an invitation to Pierre and Meredith’s wedding! “Hmph! He actually had the nerve to send Mommy an invitation? This evil man is simply loathsome!”
After pondering on it for a while, she stuffed the invitation into her bag. I’d better not let Mommy see such a thing anymore lest she becomes sad and angry. But what should I do with it? Throw it into the trash can? That doesn’t seem like a good idea. She turned it over in her mind, but she couldn’t think of a good solution.
When Selena drove Juniper home after the meeting, Juniper observed her mother’s expression throughout the drive. Selena wore an exceedingly gloomy expression, for the meeting just now had truly tired her out. Besides, there were some problems at the headquarters, so she might need to make a trip back. The many issues had her snowed under work. Juniper, however, felt that she must be in a bad mood after seeing the invitation. Yes, I’ve got to go and warn that evil man!
Upon arriving home, Selena went straight to the kitchen. “Go and play for a while, Juniper. I’m going to cook.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, Mommy!” Juniper waited until the kitchen door was closed before she crept over to the front door. Holding the invitation in her hand, she swiftly went to the adjacent house. However, she couldn’t press the doorbell even if she went on her tiptoes, so she could only knock hard on the door.
Pierre was at home, likewise just having come back himself. When he heard knocking on the door, he went over and opened the door. As soon as he did so, something was thrown at him, and that item fluttered onto the ground.
“Just get married if you want to! Why did you notify my mommy? You’re simply despicable! You duped my mommy to marry someone else in the end, yet you just had to upset her. Take your invitation back! My mommy doesn’t want such a thing!”
