The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 276

“That’s exactly what you meant!”

Maricela grabbed her phone, sent the money back, and cried pitifully, “Cedrick, I don’t want your money. I want you to know that I don’t care if the whole world misunderstands me. I only care about what you think of me…”

“I get it, I get it…” Cedrick said quickly.

“As long as you understand.”

Maricela smiled through her tears. “Cedrick, come and eat. I bought your favorite Spicy Poached Fish Fillet.”

“You two go ahead and eat. I have something to do right now, I have to go out…” he said hurriedly.

“Whatever it is, you should eat before you go!”

Maricela quickly opened the food container.

“No, you guys eat.”

Cedrick looked through his phone contacts as he walked, found the number he was looking for, and made the call. “Hello, Mylee? It’s Cedrick.”

Maricela, who had followed him out, heard him and wondered why he was calling Mylee.

So she followed him closely and heard Cedrick continue speaking.

“Here’s the thing. Lucille is back, and her grandmother is in the hospital. We need someone to take care of her grandmother now. If you don’t have anything else going on, would you be able to come back and help?”

“Right. We don’t know for how long yet. It would be great if it’s long–term, but if not, just until her grandmother recovers would be good too.”

“Okay, then tomorrow. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow.”

Maricela had unconsciously followed him to the elevator. When Cedrick got in and turned around, he was startled to see her there too.

“Oh, Cedrick…” Maricela said quickly, “I was just trying to get you to come back and cat. Arc you sure you won’t eat? Aren’t you hungry?”

“Yeah, Lucille’s grandmother is in the hospital. I have to go to the hospital.”

“Oh, okay, then you should go. Her health is what’s important…” Maricela said, her face full of concern. “How is Lucille’s grandmother? What’s wrong with her?”

“It’s fine, don’t worry.”
