Chapter 116.
The first time he didn’t come home all night and came back, he made her breakfast feeling guilty. When she asked him about it, he thought he was hiding it really well.
The first time he snuck out to eat and came back, he practically wanted to treat her like an empress and wait on her hand and foot. Little did he know, the perfume smell on his clothes had already given him away.
At that time, he was traveling with his lover in another city. She was at home alone, feeling wronged and scared. The huge emotional gap made her feel lost for a while. She didn’t understand why someone who loved her so
much would cheat.
Sometimes I even thought in a self-deprecating way, could he think about their past? Could he… remember their old feelings and not leave her? They used to be so good together.
That was so pathetic.
Later, this idea was completely crushed by her. Too self-degrading.
Armando might never know in his life that the girl he cared about so much, the one he couldn’t bear to see hurt even a little, once waited for him to come home at night, feeling so small.
Jovana smiled, those two little dimples at the corners of her lips full of something hard to read, “It’s just a short play, it’s fake, I was just asking, why are you so nervous…”
Armando
gave a dry laugh and kept helping her put on the medicine, “Yeah… you can’t trust those short dramas.”
I don’t know if it was because of the story Jovana told that scared Armando, but after that, he just wanted to stick to her all the time, like a golden retriever trying to please its owner.
If it was the old Jovana, she would’ve been too happy.
But now, it was the physically and mentally exhausted Jovana.
“I’m going to the bathroom. Grandma should be back soon. You go ahead, I’ll be there in a minute.” She gave him a little push and got up to walk to the door.
“I was with you, we were going over in a bit, if grandma saw me but didn’t see you, she would start nagging me again.”
Armando held her hand tight and went out with her.
At that moment, a cell phone rang at the wrong time.
Jovana whispered, “Work call, you answer it, or you’ll be late…”
Armando looked at his phone screen unhappily, frowned, hung up, put the phone in his pocket, held her hand, and said, “Work isn’t as important as you.”
Jovana pressed her lips together and didn’t feel like arguing with her, so she just let him be.
Coming out of the bathroom, Jovana was taking a tissue from her bag to wipe her hands. She looked up and ran into an unexpected guest.
It was Kaitlynn.

It was obvious he was waiting for her to come out on purpose.
Jovana looked cold and acted like she didn’t see her, just went to wash her hands.
Kaitlynn was pretty surprised. Just now in the bedroom, she thought Jovana had heard everything she said to Armando. She thought she’d be devastated, but she was actually really calm.
Kaitlynn felt pretty upset and gave Jovana in the mirror a cold look, mocking, “I really underestimated your patience. Didn’t expect you could put up with so much.”
Before she could finish, Jovana suddenly turned around and slapped her.
Kaitlynn was caught off guard when she got hit.
Just about to fight back.
Jovana shoved her against the door and looked down at her.”I warned you, if you gossip again next time, I’ll be even harsher than that slap!”
Kaitlynn held her swollen, aching cheek, her face dark as the bottom of a pot,”Jovana!”
ovana couldn’t be bothered with her. She grabbed her bag and headed for the door.
That arrogant attitude of yours only came out when you were dealing with others! But when lidn’t your cheap pride and dignity still get stomped all over?”
you
faced Armando,
Kaitlynn stared at her back and said through gritted teeth.
ovana paused for a second, gripping her bag strap tightly. No one knew her whole body was shaking.
Yeah, the pride she was so proud of got stomped on by the person she loved with all her heart for nine years…
t was unbearable.
Kaitlynn laughed and poked right where it hurt, knowing exactly where Jovana’s pain was.”Jovana, oh Jovana, sometimes I really felt sorry for you! You were so dumb!”
So sad.
These two words were sometimes the most insulting words.
ovana gritted her teeth, suddenly turned her head to look at her, and stepped closer, “I’m not letting Armando off. It just wasn’t the right time yet.”
