A Second Chance at Love? No Way!
Chapter 4
I burst out laughing. Lily felt my forehead and asked, "What's wrong, Samantha? Do you have a fever?"
I had pursued Frank for a long time, starting from the beginning of the semester.
I brought him breakfast, lunch, and bubble tea every day.
Lily thought I had gone mad with anger.
But that wasn't it. In this life, I don't have time to get entangled with Frank.
He chose to be with his dream girl, so let him have his wish.
Let him see just how great his precious Jessica really is.
There's only one month left before the study abroad exchange program.
Soon, I'll be heading towards a bright future.
But I never expected Frank to have the audacity to bring Jessica to confront me.
"Why didn't you bring me food today? Did something hold you up?"
Frank looked at me coldly, as if I were his enemy.
I looked at the two of them in disbelief and asked, "Didn't we break up?"
We've broken up, so why would I still bring you food? Do you think I'm running a charity?
Perhaps because he was used to me taking care of him in every way in my past life, Frank didn't expect me to talk back.
In his mind, I was still the Samantha who clung to him.
Maybe he wasn't used to not having someone anticipate his every need.
Back then, I would bring him food every day at school.
After we got married, whenever he came home, I would have several dishes prepared for him.
He was used to having everything handed to him, and now he couldn't adapt.
At this point, he didn't have much money.
I was poor too, but I could work part-time jobs.
I even managed to bring him breakfast and lunch every day.
Now that he's lost all that, he has the nerve to blame me?
"Frank, honey, I heard that Samantha used to bring you delicious food every day. You promised me I could try it too," Jessica chimed in.
Frank looked at Jessica awkwardly.
I laughed out loud. So they came here to mooch off me.
I grabbed the broom from the dorm supervisor and waved it in front of them,
kicking up dust that covered their faces.
Frank, ignoring the dirt on his face, pulled me aside.
"Samantha, I'll give you money. Just do me this favor."
Favor? What face does he have left now?
Frank used to have some money saved, but seeing me bring him food every day,
he became extravagant in his spending. Now at the end of the month,
he's so broke he has to come begging from me.
I laughed coldly, shook off Frank's hand, and deliberately raised my voice,
"No money to play big shot! I'm not lending you anything!"
Jessica's face changed color beside us, apparently not expecting Frank to be penniless.
I know Jessica's type. She loves money above all else.
In my past life, seeing that Frank had a managerial position at the research institute,
she latched onto him tightly.
I remember most clearly one time when she brought her child to our door with Frank.
She looked at me timidly, "Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand. My child and I just have nowhere to go. We're just staying for a couple of days."
I knew she had slept with Frank.
I found it disgusting and had long since started sleeping in separate rooms from Frank.
They stayed at hotels when they met outside, and I didn't care.
I just didn't expect them to bring it home, apparently unwilling to even pay for a hotel room anymore.
I had just finished cooking when Jessica's child, without even a greeting,
went straight to the table and started gobbling down the food.
While eating, the child loudly said, "It's delicious, Mom! I want to eat this auntie's food every day!"
Frank didn't look at me, just smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more. You can have it every day from now on!"
I flipped the table directly.
The food and dishes crashed all over the child.
I smiled sweetly as I watched Frank and Jessica rush to comfort the child.
Frank angrily questioned me,
"What are you doing? What's wrong with the child eating some food?"
I replied nonchalantly, "I didn't like the look of him, so I won't let him eat."
My child was gone, so I wouldn't let this bastard child have it easy either.
Frank spent half the day comforting Jessica and the child.
In the end, they didn't stay. Jessica left with the child.
Frank came back looking exhausted and looked at me,
"If you didn't want them to stay, they won't. I guess it's my fault for disturbing your peace."
It was the first time I heard him speak like a decent person, and I couldn't help but look at him.
However, not long after,
Frank moved out.
When I went out to take out the trash, I passed by the park and saw Jessica arguing with a man,
"Wait a bit longer. Once Frank divorces and we get the money, we'll leave."
My curiosity was piqued, so I asked Mrs. Johnson to inquire.
It turned out that Jessica wasn't just involved with one man.
Frank was just one of them. If she couldn't get money from him, Jessica would run off.
But Frank didn't know this. He just thought Jessica was disappointed because he hadn't divorced me yet.
Now, Frank had exposed his lack of money early on.
I wonder how Jessica will react.
