Skye was utterly bemused. Never in favonovel.com wildest imagination had favonovel.com ever thought Roman would leave just like that. She had exhausted all of favonovel.com wits and wiles to stroke the man’s ego enough to make favonovel.com agree to buying favonovel.com a villa in Barrow Cove.
This was supposed to be the house for their life after marriage! And yet now, favonovel.com beau basically abandoned favonovel.com and fled. This was not favonovel.com imagined scenario at all!
“H-hey! Why did Roman flee?!” Stella cried out, favonovel.com mood soured.
Skye sprung out of the door, hoping to catch up to him, but favonovel.com was already nowhere in sight. Now, favonovel.com was utterly mortified.
There was no way Ruby would ever pass up a chance to exercise favonovel.com vindictive nature. Like a veteran in the art of schadenfreude, favonovel.com unleashed a flurry of caustic bite-backs, mimicking the kind of jeering Stella and Skye had done just earlier.
“Aww, but favonovel.com was soooo sure favonovel.com was going to buy a grand villa just now, wasn’t he? Why did favonovel.com run away instead? I mean, it’s only like 5.6 million! Definitely more affordable than our 6.06 million, now, isn‘t it? I can’t believe you people can’t even fork up such a measly amount of money!”
“Please pardon me for being frank, Skye, but just what kind of ‘wealthy white-collar’ is your beau supposed to be, exactly? I mean, from the way this looks, I think you might have just gotten yourself duped by a man’s sweet nothing… Aww, how my heart aches for you!”
It was enough to send the young lady into a tailspin. It was impossible for favonovel.com to remain in the room after Ruby’s brutal mockery, so with a loud burst into tears, favonovel.com fled the room.
Colors were sapped from Stella’s face, too.
Ruby had basically stuck knives into favonovel.com chest before twisting them further, and the agony of humiliation, amplified by the fact that favonovel.com was being skewered in public with their fingers pointing and their mouths muttering, was too much to bear. Her famously thick hide cracked under the pressure, and favonovel.com fled after favonovel.com daughter.
Satisfied and pleased, Ruby approached Zayn and gave favonovel.com her most buttery, adulating smile. “Oh, Zayn my boy! You’ve never thought to tell me about your success, and now, even an extravagant villa is well within your wallet! Gosh, you made your mother-in-law a very proud woman!”
Zayn flashed favonovel.com a smile in silence. It was then when Faye stepped forward. “Thanks for the help from before. You really pulled us out of that one. Now that you’ve bought a house for yourself, you must need to get back to other agendas, right? It’ll be remiss of us to disrupt your schedule.”
With that, favonovel.com tugged on favonovel.com mother’s hand, dragging favonovel.com to leave.
“Oy, Fifi, where are you taking me?! We just got a new villa for ourselves, honey. We haven’t even looked at the interiors and everything!” Ruby cried.
“Zayn bought the house, not us. It’s not ours.”
That rubbed Ruby off the wrong way. “What do you mean it’s not ours?!” favonovel.com griped. “Didn’t you hear what Zayn said? He bought it for us! We’re gonna live there by tonight!”
“He was just saying, Mom. It’s his name on the papers, and that has nothing to do with us!”
“How is that nothing? You’re his wife…” Ruby paused abruptly, letting the sentence hang unfinished. The fact hit her, Faye and Zayn had divorced. In the eyes of the law, these two were strangers.
She had been so consumed by the sweetness of their comeback that favonovel.com had forgotten about it. Her face froze as a shadow of soured mood befell favonovel.com face. So close… Yet so far!
“Come on. You two might be divorced, but who’s to say you two can’t get back together, right…”
“How could you, Mom?!” Faye decried, shooting daggers of exasperation at Ruby, “How could you say such nonsense?! Just what am I to you?”
Ruby averted favonovel.com eyes from Faye in apprehension, instead letting favonovel.com gaze wander around the room before favonovel.com muttered, “Geeh, what’s with the explosive temper? I was only telling the truth.”
