Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 39

Patricia stepped back. “Grandpa’s birthday is next month. I’m going to pick out a gift,”

“Oh? Is that so?” Shane lowered his eyelids.

Patricia was a terrible liar, and her face was already red down to her neck.

She didn’t dare look Shane in the eye, nor did she like him getting close.

He was a notorious womanizer, always reeking of the kind of chemical perfume only women

wore.

“Go ahead, but you must be back before dinner.”

Patricia wanted to say she wouldn’t be back for dinner.

Shane wouldn’t allow it.

Even though their marriage was just an arrangement, Shane was very controlling, and she had to listen to him.

Patricia kept her hands behind her back, turned sideways, and shuffled out in small steps.

Once she was out the door, she broke into a run.

Shane lit a cigarette, glanced at the driver, and jerked his chin toward Patricia’s retreating figure. “Go follow her.”

So sneaky–she was definitely going to see Josephine.

Just now, when he came in, he saw Martin loading potted plants into the BMW

And Patricia was carrying a food container.

She only put her heart into things like this for her grandfather and Josephine.

That crazy woman Josephine probably had a new place to live.

Knowing Patricia was coming, Josephine opened a bottle of red wine to let it breathe in

advance.

She couldn’t hold her liquor well and could only manage two small glasses of red wine, so she didn’t open too much.

Someone rang the doorbell. Looking through the video intercom, she saw it was the property manager and the housekeeper.

Josephine opened the door.

The two of them stood in a standard formal posture, showing eight perfect teeth as they bowed to Josephine:

“Welcome, Ms. Copeland, to Opal Heights. We will do our utmost to serve you.”

“Here are the hotpot ingredients you requested. We are delivering them to your home free of charge. The tableware is in the pink bag.”

“In addition, here are various entertainment vouchers for Opal Heights: movie theater, KTV, gym, recording studio, archery range, boxing gym, tennis court, dance studio, piano lessons, violin lessons, AI room, buffet restaurant, and cuisines from all over the world…”

The property manager rattled off a long list in one breath, his chubby face turning red.

When he really couldn’t catch his breath, he simply said, and so on, and so on, to finish.

Actually, there was no need for an introduction–Josephine already knew a fair bit about Opal Heights.

The three–hundred–square–meter apartment came equipped with Novo Tech’s smart home system and robots for every household.

If an elderly person fell at home, the system would automatically alert and connect to the property’s smart center.

In short, it could be summed up in six words: “Very high–end, very impressive”

Outsiders were absolutely not allowed in, so Josephine went downstairs to meet Patricia.

When Patricia arrived at Josephine’s place, she hurriedly put the food in the freezer.

She also arranged the potted plants for Josephine in suitable spots.

She made the bed for Josephine with the new bedding.

She didn’t even rest on the sofa before she was ready to leave.

Josephine felt reluctant to let her go, but she understood Patricia’s difficulties and didn’t insist.

She slipped the watch into Patricia’s bag.

After waving goodbye, she stood alone for a while in the beautiful but unfamiliar environment, then walked back to her building in loneliness.

The lights in the children’s play area were dazzlingly bright.

A few children were playing on the swings.

Her gaze was drawn to the back of a little girl with two buns in her hair.

Strangely enough, she had only met Natalia three times, but just from the back, she could recognize her.

Josephine walked over and called out, “Natalia.”

Natalia turned her head, her lively eyes lighting up as she looked at Josephine’s new hairstyle for two seconds, her eyes sparkling.
