"Bella, why do you come back so soon? Tell me how the Williams treat you." Susan's main concern was her daughter's relationship with Ben, so she was eager to know how they progressed. "His parents are kind to me. Mom, do you know that Dad broke up with Rosia?" Bella asked anxiously.

Susan said with a disgusted look, "It's hard not to know. Your father got drunk last night and came to me. I let him sleep on the floor all night and I don't know when he left this morning. This old bastard should be given a dose of his own medicine."

Bella was surprised. After a while, she covered her mouth and laughed. "The shoe is on the other foot."

"Of course. I used to think too highly of him, and he despised me. Now that I'm living a happy life, He comes back and wants me to forgive him. No way." Susan got the right idea that man was not the only important thing in her life, and she could enjoy her happy life on her own.

"Mom, listen to this." Bella took out her phone and played the recording for Susan.

"He deserves it." Susan said angrily, "Your father asked for this. Enchanted by Rosia, he lost his mind and kicked his own daughter out while raising a son for someone else. How ridiculous."

Bella also thought that her father made a blunder, but he had to accept the consequence.

"Mom, Dad's company will get better, but he must be having a hard time now." Bella whispered.

"What? Do you pity him? Don't forget how he indulged Rosia to drive us out." Noticing the look on her daughter's face, Susan was annoyed.

"I won't forget. Dad's fault is unforgivable, but... he's still my father. I can't watch him die of rage, can I?" Bella sighed helplessly.

"It's up to you. I won't bother with that." Susan continued to dance with the people on TV.

Watching her mother enjoy a full life, Bella couldn't help thinking if the relationship between her parents would be better if her mother had stopped her obsession with her father earlier. Loving a person was like holding a handful of sand. The harder you clutched, the faster the sand leaked away. In marriage, people should learn when to tighten and when to loosen. It looked like she needed to study it carefully. After all she would get married one day.

The next morning, the sky cleared up after a heavy rain in the middle of the night. It was cloudless, and the sun shone warmly.

During the day, June filmed advertisements, discussed with Matilda about the new script, and made appointments of magazine shootings for the next few days. She used to sit back and mope, but now she was busy like a spinning top. In the evening, June went home early without even going to the hospital. Jonas said that he would take her to a banquet, and she would go there as Mrs. Brid. Mrs. Brid!

She felt numb with this strange identity. She pinched her fingers lightly and looked out of the window. For some reason, she seemed to be looking forward to meeting Jonas.

June laughed at herself. She was lacking in love. She grew up without the care of her father, so she desired more than girls her age for dependence on men. Jonas was much older than her, and she was getting addicted to his care.

The phone rang. Seeing that Jonas was calling, she smiled and answered the phone.

"Do you see the dress I sent you? Put it on and come downstairs now. I'll wait for you in the car." Jonas's voice was cold, as if he was giving an order.

June saw the red dress on the bed. It was as red as fire, and it had a unique design. The shoulder strap on one side set off her beautiful collarbone, her fair skin and slender figure. She found she looked different after she put on the dress, which gave her an elegant touch.

She had a lot of make-up in order to match the fiery red color. The heavy makeup could conceal her sense of inferiority, make her more confident, and hide her true colors from others, which gave her consolation.

June took a deep breath and put on

her matching high heels. She grabbed a bright-colored bag and put a lipstick in it. She then found that there was an exquisite small purse, in which there were two cards in the purse. One of them was a Centurion Card, and there were some change as well.

June paused. Jonas was thoughtful. It was very difficult not to love such a man. She was wondering if he was so considerate with his boyfriend. Thinking of this, June found that she was jealous. She was getting eager to see how his beloved one looked like How did they meet? When did they start the relationship? How intimate were they? Was she not supposed to know about their relationship?

Troubled by the questions, June went downstairs and slowly walked towards the black car.

She was tall, 167 cm in height. She was used to wearing high heels, and she walked with the confidence and elegance of a woman. She lifted the hem of her dress and walked towards Jonas in the fading light Jonas sat in the car, toying the new ring on his ring finger, which he felt unaccustomed. He looked out of the window and saw June walking towards him. Her beautiful and charming face was breathtaking like the last evening glow behind her.

Jonas narrowed his eyes. His calm and handsome face was unruffled, but deep down he was touched, like a quiet lake being rippled by a gust of wind.

June walked over and Mr. Cobb opened the car door for her. He smiled and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Brid, I wish you a pleasant evening."

June got in the car. A strong fragrance attacked Jonus, who covered his nose with his hand. He looked at her with disdain, "Did you put on perfume?"

Taken aback, June nodded honestly, "Yes. Don't women wear perfume to banquets?"

"But not the cheap and pungent perfume like yours." Jonas mocked.

June quickly put her wrist to her nose and sniffed, getting disgusted as well. "Indeed. It's too strong, but this is my most expensive bottle of perfume. What should I do? I'll go back and wash away the smell."

"We are running out of time. Let's go

first." Jonas grabbed her arm and stopped her. Her face burnt with embarrassment. Goodness! It was too humiliating. If only she hadn't drenched herself in perfume. Now, the smell of the perfume was getting stronger in the narrow room of the car, and it became suffocating. June was about to choke, and she quickly rolled down the car window for fresh air. She collapsed inwardly. She was doomed. Jonas despised her, and now she might have offended him.

Jonas put his hand down from his nose, and took her left hand, slipping a dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger.
