Her Secret Mate
Chapter 43 Sweetheart

Perhaps in the world, no wife was more aggrieved than her. She had to humble herself to cook for her husband's gossip girlfriend who even had special requests. "Don't be mad at me, okay?"

Jeremy's voice softened. He knew she was sad, so he just couldn't help but comfort her.

Seeing that she kept holding her waist with her hands and her head was sweating, Ella said that it was very hard for Fiona to knead the dough. It took such a long time. As Rose urged him, he didn't want to test her any more, as he could not bear to do so.

He whispered to her, "I'm sorry."

Jeremy apologized sincerely. He held her hands, turned on the warm water, and carefully washed her hands, little by little.

"Forgive me, okay? I just want you to pay more attention to me."

"You..."

The situation had changed so fast. A moment ago, Fiona had been cursing him a bastard. But now, he had changed his attitude suddenly. He even apologized to her! How scary it was!

She became excited and examined him up and down. She shook her shaking hand in front of him and asked, "Are you sick?"

"I'm fine. You're the one who is sick."

"Since you know I'm not feeling well, why did you ask me to cook for you? Please prepare the noodles for Miss Rose. I'm going to have a rest now.

She didn't know why she felt so happy. Her mind told her that Jeremy had nothing to do with Rose. Her hands were clean, with the warmth of his.

Back in the bedroom, she leaned on the bed and looked around.

The bedroom was as simple as hers. She closed her eyes with satisfaction, ready to sleep.

"Wake up."

"What?"

Jeremy shook her and said, "Get up and eat the noodles."

As soon as she heard Jeremy's voice, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Then she moved herself to another side and went on sleeping. She had no appetite at all and she didn't want to eat anything.

Noodles?

Were these noodles cooked by Jeremy? She immediately opened her eyes and looked at the bowl of noodles. Jeremy had seen through her. He could not help but smile. "Don't worry. I have asked Rose to leave. We're just friends. This bowl of noodles is specially made for you."

He could only cook for her.

"Don't lie to me." Fiona didn't believe it.

"I won't lie to you."

It was rare for her to have the appetite to finish a whole bowl of noodles. So, Fiona leaned against the bed happily. Seeing that Jeremy was busy going up and down, she asked carefully, "You and Miss Rose?" "We are just friends. Don't be jealous."

"I'm not jealous."

She turned her head because she didn't want Jeremy to see her blush.

In the next few days, Jeremy drove her to school. He chose a cheap car and waited for her at a bus station which was far from the school.

One day, as soon as she came out of the school, she saw a handsome man standing at the school gate, with a bottle of water in his hand.

He didn't play by the rules. She felt a bit unexpected.

Fiona walked quickly the man and took the water from him. "Why are you waiting for me here?"

Jeremy was flustered. "Do I embarrass you?"

He, as a real husband, was actually feeling awful since he had to pick up his wife in secret.

"I was just kidding." She didn't care about how others thought of her. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and not cause too much trouble to attract too much attention.

When they got back to the car, Jeremy started the car and said, "We won't go home for dinner tonight. Let's meet some of my friends first."

He took her to meet his friends... Although she had been married to him for some time, except for Jack and the servants at home, she had never seen any other friends of his. It was a little grand.

She was nervous. "I don't know your friends. I will be very uneasy when I meet them." She was the only outsider among them.

"Don't worry. You are my wife. They dare not do anything to you."

It was a little late when they arrived at the club. After Jeremy took her to the private room, he asked the waiter to order some dishes that she liked.

Ray walked up to them and teased, "Wow, who's that beauty? You are so beautiful."

"No one will think that you are dumb even if you don't talk." Jeremy was in a bad mood. He knew it would end like this. As soon as they came in, several men began to stare at Fiona.

She was his woman and no one else could covet her.

Ray raised his eyebrows and said in a casual manner, "Jeremy, you're so bad. I've been devoting myself to your business. But look what you've done. You even have time to enjoy love? Do you know how long Rose has been in love with you?"

Rose was so stupid.

She liked Jeremy foolishly for so many years, so that in her eyes she never had any other man.

Ray felt sorry for both her and himself.

"Are you looking for trouble, Ray?"

Jeremy picked up a slice of beef jerky and put it into his mouth, indicating him to shut up.

After casting a cold glance at them, Ray walked out of the room. At the moment, he saw Rose smoking in the corridor. Her eyes were empty, filled with sadness.

He came straight to the point and asked, "You knew it?"

Rose was stunned for a while, and understood what he meant. Her heart began to ache. "Yes, I know. Jeremy didn't hide anything."

Instead, he told her straightforwardly that he had been married and loved Fiona deeply.

Every word he said was like a sword hitting her heart, and it was broken into pieces.

She used to think that it was easy to turn friends into lovers as long as she was patient and waited for him to fall in love with her.

But today, when Jeremy introduced Fiona to his friends, she knew that Jeremy was definitely in love this time.

Ray smiled bitterly. "It seems that there's no need for me to comfort you."

"I need your help, Ray. Can you help me? You know I've liked him for so many years. He is the only man I want in this life." Rose held his hand and cried bitterly. She was so excited that she was even trembling.

Her heart ached.

Ray knew he couldn't refuse her, so he replied without hesitation, "Okay. I'll do whatever it takes for you to get what you want." He was willing to die for her.

"You are so kind."

Rose was grateful to him. She knew clearly what he wanted from her, but as an actress, it was not difficult for her to pretend to be insane.

Jeremy would be hers one day. No one could take him away from her. As for others, she didn't care.

Noticing that her bowl was filled with a lot of food and other people were staring at her, Fiona felt awkward to eat alone.

"Don't be afraid. We are all on your side."

The one who spoke was a gentle man named Kurt. He was a doctor and a good friend of Jeremy. Last time, Ella originally called him to come to the villa to check Fiona. But a few minutes later, a female doctor was replaced. So far, he remembered it clearly.

If he guessed right, last time was because of this woman in front of him.

The woman looked delicate, sweet and soft, different from the international appearance of Rose who as not praised by the normal domestic aesthetic standards. She attracted people's attention.

She ate the food in her bowl with small mouthfuls. Squinting her eyes, she enjoyed the delicious food, forming a beautiful picture.

He had no appetite at first, but he began to eat more.

Suddenly, there was an extra piece of ginger in her bowl. Kurt saw this and thought that Jeremy was in true love this time so he considered her as his sweetheart.
