Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 69

Patricia sighed, “Alright then.”

Her hopes were dashed.

There is no such thing as easy salvation in this world; the only way is to save yourself.

Josephine put down her lemon water and said, “I’m happy today. Let’s order a bottle of wine to celebrate.”

Patricia tried to find some trace of happiness on Josephine’s serene and beautiful face, but found nothing.

A wave of sadness welled up in her heart.

“Josie, after the divorce… do you still dare to love someone else?”

Josephine was silent for a moment, then looked into Patricia’s eyes and said:

“Who knows if I’ll love again? I can’t control my heart… but I can control my legs, and I won’t walk into that hall again.”

Wilfred left Noble Elite Junior Summer School and, without even catching his breath, hurried to the company to deal with work.

He looked at the mountain of files piled on his desk, and Eugene was urging him to attend the R&D Center of Novo Tech meeting.

He found himself missing Josephine.

If Josephine were here, he wouldn’t have to deal with any of this…

As he got out of the car and walked toward the main hall, Shane’s car pulled in.

The two of them stood in the garden and talked for a while.

Shane said, “You’re really getting nervous, Wilfred. I checked on that Zachery again–there’s nothing special about him.”

“He’s lived in Gallan for over a decade. It’s perfectly normal for him to know horseback riding and archery. It’s like in our country–any random kid can play ping pong or basketball.”

Wilfred was unconvinced.

“If he’s really just an ordinary person, how did he find Lena? And how did he manage to keep Dr. Harrington’s information hidden from our investigation, perfectly concealed?”

Shane couldn’t figure it out either. He said, “Zachery and Claire are both doctors, so they know a lot of people. Maybe they have friends who are experts in this area?”

Wilfred was silent. That wasn’t impossible.

But Zachery’s appearance had already become a speed bump on the road to Josephine coming back to beg him, and he had no idea how long he’d have to wait.

And there were only a dozen days left until the end of the cooling–off period.

Shane, as if he could read Wilfred’s mind, patted him on the shoulder and said:

“Don’t worry… Tomorrow I’ll go give Josephine a little warning.”

“But Wilfred… don’t hang yourself on one tree. There are plenty of flowers in the world, you know.”

Shane gestured for Wilfred to look at the garden path.

The roses in the garden had long since stopped blooming, all replaced by Papaver rhoeas.

The height of summer was the best time for these flowers to bloom.

Helena stood on the path, gazing in their direction, as if she had been waiting there all along.

“I only see Lena as a sister.”

Wilfred said this for Shane to hear, but also to convince himself.

Shane acted as if he’d heard a joke: “You see her as a sister, but today you kissed her in public?”

“Beast!”

Wilfred frowned, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

“Wilfred, don’t be so rigid. You have the ability, and you can make everyone happy–what’s

the harm?”

Shane patted Wilfred on the shoulder and called out to Helena, “Lena, Wilfred is tired. Come take care of him.”

Helena agreed and first saw Shane off as he drove away.

Only then did she walk toward Wilfred.

It wasn’t until she got closer that Wilfred noticed her dress today was quite conservative.

Not even her arms were exposed. The white cotton dress was light and flowing, yet it couldn’t hide her curves.

There was a special allure in the way she walked.

Just as one wave subsided, another rose….

Wilfred’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
