Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: Vera Ford Is in a Terrible Mood

Vera also happened to see them, and her initially relaxed expression instantly turned somber.

Seeing the beautiful Jocelyn sitting across from Ian, her heart was lightly pricked once more.

Inevitably, she felt jealous again.

”Dr. Ford, please sit here!” The two patients’ family members didn’t notice Ian and didn’t recognize him, persistently pulling Vera to sit down.

Sitting right next to Ian and Jocelyn, less than two meters apart.

This meant she could clearly hear everything they were talking about.

Jocelyn withdrew her gaze, feeling inexplicably awkward and a bit disappointed, since after all, she’s a rival in love.

At this time, the waiter began serving the dishes.

Ian looked calm; in his eyes, Vera was just an ordinary colleague.

The first dish served was fish.

Ian picked up the communal chopsticks and placed pieces of fish belly into Jocelyn’s bowl, ”This doesn’t have bones, but you should still be a bit careful when eating it.”

Upon hearing this, Vera felt her mood plunge! The air seemed to be filled with shards of glass, and every breath felt painfully uncomfortable!

Although she didn’t look in their direction, her heart was clearly pricked, feeling very much unwilling. Why should the newcomer take precedence?

Jocelyn wasn’t in the mood to talk, so she silently ate the food Ian had placed in her bowl, transforming into a little foodie.

”I can’t eat this much, stop adding more.” She finally lifted her eyes, ”You should eat some yourself.”

Ian responded with a gentle smile, ”You look really cute when you eat.”

”...” Jocelyn’s mind went blank for a moment. How should she respond to this??

When did Dr. Shelby start flirting?

Not far away, Vera faced the abundance of dishes like she was chewing wax.

Thus, this meal made Vera totally unhappy.

”Dr. Ford, don’t these dishes suit your taste? I noticed you haven’t eaten much.”

”No, it’s okay.” She quickly replied with a smile, ”I’m just not hungry.”

”After working all day, how could you not be hungry?”

”...” The air here made her feel suffocated.

Because of Jocelyn and Ian’s interaction, she listened intently to each word, already feeling agitated and in turmoil.

Until they finished eating and got up to leave.

Vera finally turned her gaze to see them holding hands tightly, her throat choked heavily.

”Uncle, Auntie, I’m done eating.” Vera couldn’t sit still any longer, feeling extremely stifled by the atmosphere, she forced a cheerful smile, ”Thank you for your hospitality, I have something to do, I should leave now.”

After saying that, Vera also got up and left.

Actually, she hadn’t even finished half a bowl of rice; when you’re sad, you completely lose your appetite.

”What’s wrong with her?”

”I don’t know...”

Vera took the elevator down, rushed out of the restaurant, and the evening breeze brushed against her face, painfully stirring her wounded heart.

Ian’s car was still parked nearby, but where was he?

She walked a few steps, turned twice, looking around everywhere.

Finally, she saw them walking hand in hand down the street, with the most adorable height difference; she clung to his arm, occasionally looking at him with admiration, while he affectionately patted her head, the two laughing and chatting.

The affectionate and romantic scene, the warm and ambiguous lighting, made Vera feel especially, especially sad.

Will this be a relationship where they don’t break up?

Is there any possibility of them breaking up?

At this moment.

A private jet landed at Emerald Cove’s private airport, Trevor and his family safely returned to Riventhal.

The servants had already prepared a lavish dinner to welcome them back.

David Dalton was unaware of the absurd events that happened in Eldoria this time.

Meanwhile, Janelle also returned to Korland.

”Dad.” She arrived downstairs at her family’s building, carrying her suitcase towards the entrance, and called, ”Did you call Sister Sterling? Her birthday is coming up soon.”

”Not yet.” Nathan Mills admitted frankly, ”Where are you?”

”What? You haven’t called yet?!” Janelle halted her steps, furrowing her brows in frustration, ”I just don’t get it, it’s just a phone call, how much time would it take you? Can the relationship improve or not? Am I still your daughter or not?”

”No, no, no, it’s not...” Nathan panicked, fearing his daughter’s anger and ignoring him, he was at a loss for words.

”Whether you care or not! I’m in Korland, right downstairs at my mom’s place, she didn’t go the company today. You must call within half an hour! I’ll be listening!” She hung up immediately after speaking.
