Chapter 28
The two people in the study suddenly came to their senses. Paulette stood up and jumped to the side, ignoring the pain in her ankle.
Nelson had a dark and serious face, and his inscrutable eyes didn’t reveal what he was thinking.
Patricia ran in excitedly and stood between the two of them, looking at this one, then at that one, her voice trembling a little, “What were you guys doing just now?”
Paulette has calmed down and said lightly, “I almost fell, Nelson just helped me.
“Almost fell?”
Patricia just now saw it crystal clear, the eye contact between those two was intense!
She sneered, “Wow, you have such steady hands. Even when you almost fell, you managed to hold the tray perfectly. Nelson was also lucky, he happened to be right next to you.”
Paulette opened her mouth, but then she thought she didn’t need to explain, so she said, “I’ve said what I needed to say. If Ms. Carver still doesn’t understand, she can ask Nelson.”
My ankle still hurts, I think I really sprained it.
Paulette turned and walked towards the door, her steps very careful.
Patricia saw her like that, and she immediately got angry, “You can’t leave! You…”

“That’s enough!”
Nelson interrupted her, grabbed her hand, and pulled her back.
Paulette just hesitated for a moment, then picked up the pace and went downstairs.
“Why did you let her go?” Patricia’s eyes were red, she used to pretend because there was no actual evidence, today finally caught them in the act, of course she had to make a big deal out of it. “Nelson, I really thought you two had a pure father–daughter relationship, I never expected…”
“What else?”
Nelson had a low voice.

The strands of hair hanging down from his forehead blocked the expression in his eyes. He looked up, his dark eyes fixed on Patricia, and asked, “Besides the father–daughter relationship, what else?”
Patricia looked into his determined eyes, and couldn’t say a word.
“She’s the one I grew up with. What’s wrong with giving her a hand when she’s about to fall? Am I supposed to just watch her fall?”
Nelson was fed up to the extreme, he let go of Patricia’s hand, “Tricia, I don’t know what you’re thinking about every day, Paulette is just a kid, can you stop being so hostile towards her?”
Patricia sensed something off in his tone, and her heart skipped a beat. She softened her voice and said, “I…I didn’t mean it that way, I was just suddenly triggered by that scene.”
She went up to Nelson and linked her arm with his, coquettishly saying,

“Come on, explain it to me nicely. I’m not unreasonable.”
“Is that explanation enough now, still angry?”
“I’m not angry anymore.”
Patricia shook her head, “I’ll apologize to Paula tomorrow, okay?”

A dark light flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself with a cold smile: Apologize? She would be lucky if she didn’t tear that stinky girl’s face off!
Nelson might have been really careless, but Paulette was definitely intentional!
She liked Nelson for a long time, not just a day or two!
She talked big, making us think she was really going to give up, but turns out she was just holding back a trick behind her back!
Patricia decided to give herself a good treatment.
The next morning.
Paulette just got up and saw Patricia in the hallway. She was wearing a set of pajamas, with long hair lazily draped behind her. The sunlight was shining on her, giving her a kind of ethereal beauty.
“Paula, are you up?”
Patricia saw Paulette and walked over to her with a smile.
“Nelson explained everything to me yesterday. I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. Please don’t be mad at me, okay?”
Paulette didn’t know what Ms. Carver was up to, but she didn’t care at all. She casually said, “Ms. Carver is overthinking, I’m not mad.”

“Oh, by the way, I heard from Nelson…he said that jade pendant he gave me was left to you by your mom, I didn’t know before, hold on, let me go get it for you.”
Paulette looked at her with a sincere expression, but her eyes were full of
doubt.
Did Patricia take the wrong medicine?
Did he actually offer to return the jade pendant to her?
Not long after, Patricia actually came out with a jewelry box. She had a sincere expression on her face and said gently, “Paula, I may have done a lot of things that upset you before, but can we talk things out today and get along well in the future?”
Paulette looked at her for a while and said, “Did you take the wrong
medicine?”
