Chapter 75
Jeremiah greeted Larissa, almost scaring her. She guiltily put away her phone, touched her nose, and said, “Jeremiah is back? I was just tidying up the kitchen fridge, not done yet, you guys chat!”
After saying that, he dashed into the kitchen like a fugitive.
Paulette looked at her back and said with a smile, “Larissa is still as cute
as before.”
“Well, you can tell her whatever you want to eat, Larissa is a great cook.”
When it comes to food, Paulette’s eyes lit up.
I used to love crashing at Jeremiah’s place for dinner, partly because Larissa’s cooking was even better than what you get at a five–star
restaurant.
She was not polite, chatted casually for a few words and then went back to the room in a good mood.
The messages kept coming in one after another on my phone, all from the small group chat.
Paulette was surprised. Everyone has been so busy lately, just saying a few words here and there every day. It’s been a long time since it’s been this lively.
She took off her coat, threw herself onto the sofa, and turned on the voice
message.
I didn’t expect the main character to be myself.

Rebecca Watson: “Paula, did you hear? Your stepfather seems to be getting engaged. That woman is going around bragging, practically wanting to tattoo ‘Mrs. Chapman‘ on herself.”
Graham Richter: “I know, I know! Heard the hotel is all booked.”

Rebecca: “Tsk…Mr. Chapman aside, that woman, she doesn’t look like a bright bulb, no wonder she could marry into a wealthy family, fate, huh.”
Sylvia: “None of them are good things.”
“…”
The three of them talked on and off for a while, and then Jessica, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, “Alright guys, stop worrying about other people’s business.”
Although the five of them were a small group, only Jessica knew that Paulette liked Nelson.
Paulette looked at the information, surprisingly calm inside.
Nelson and Patricia, they were already a couple.
Engagement is only natural.
She zoned out for a moment, closed the chat box, and removed Nelson’s number from the blacklist. Just as she was debating whether to send a congratulations message, his chat history popped up.
“Paulette, I have limited patience, don’t push it too far.”
“You really want to make trouble, huh? Let’s see how stubborn you can
be!”
The latest one was two days ago, and it turned out to be a reminder of her period.

“It’s already the 15th, don’t eat cold food, prepare red sugar and warm
baby in advance, otherwise your stomach will ache so much that you’ll be rolling in pain, don’t cry.”
Paulette was stunned for a moment, then quickly snapped out of it.
Nelson just treated her as a stepdaughter.
This is just stepfather’s care for stepdaughter.
She twiddled her fingers, but in the end didn’t reply to anything. Instead, she opened the WhatsApp group and said, My dad is getting married, how could I not know? Come on, as my good friends, you must send your blessings!
With her joining, the group quickly livened up again.
Graham just took over the family business, and happened to have a little collaboration with the Chapman Group.
The next day, we had a meeting and there was this so–called stepfather.
Coming out of the meeting room, Darren Richter, Graham’s father, glanced at him and whispered, “I noticed you’ve been staring at Mr. Chapman. Have you met him somewhere before?”
Graham smiled, showing dimples at the corners of his mouth, “Of course.”
Nelson looked over and said, “I am Paulette’s friend.”
“I heard Mr. Chapman is getting engaged soon. Paulette reminded us to send our best wishes. Wishing you and future Mrs. Chapman a lifetime of happiness and many children.”
Nelson didn’t say anything, with a frown on his forehead.

Darren saw something was off and gave Graham a pat, “Mr. Chapman would definitely say something if good news was coming. What are you up to?”
Graham looked puzzled, “The internet is flooded with news about Mr. Chapman getting engaged. Who dares to do it without Mr. Chapman’s permission?”
Of course someone dared.
Patricia.
Graham looked at the man’s stinky expression and knew that Nelson probably really didn’t know.
That was interesting.
He flashed a hint of playfulness in his eyes, apologizing, “That might just be the paparazzi making a mountain out of a molehill. My bad for jumping on the bandwagon. We should wait for Mr. Chapman to confirm this good news himself.”
Nelson didn’t pick up on that, instead he asked, “Have you been in touch with Paulette?”
“We occasionally keep in touch, everyone is pretty busy.”
Yeah, at that time, Paulette had already started working.
