Chapter 943 She Came Back
Chapter 943 She Came Back
Gerben blinked his eyes and asked, “Was it always unforgivable when men made mistakes?”
Amanda was curious. It wasn’t the first time Gerben asked her this question. Why was that?
“You wanted me and him to get back together?”
Gerben cleared his throat, “I’m only curious about how much a man would pay for their mistake. If you
could forgive him this time, then it meant he could make a bigger mistake.”
Amanda felt speechless.
“I was joking,” Gerben started the car engine, “Are you going back to the hotel?”
“No, we’re going to J&Y Group,” said Amanda.
“You can leave work for tomorrow. You should take a rest today,” said Gerben. He was worried that it
would be overwhelming for Amanda to face Stanford right after she got off the plane.
Amanda looked outside the window, “Let’s just go to J&Y Group.”
Amanda wanted to solve everything as soon as possible. Her parents were worried about her. It was
time for her to go back and visit them.
Amanda wanted to take revenge on Stanford, so she had been hiding from her parents for the past
year. Her parents cooperated with her and stayed hidden, but Amanda knew that they were missing her
all along.
Amanda didn’t want to stay in this place. She wanted to get it over with and start a new life.
Amanda didn’t want the past to haunt her.
After all, life was a long journey.
Gerben said, “I’m not sure if Stanford is in the office. Let me call and ask them.”
Then, Gerben gave a call to Stanford’s secretary to ask if Stanford was in the office today.
The secretary answered Gerben, “Mr. James isn’t in the office.”
“Ms. Flores came back. She needs to talk to Mr. James,” said Gerben.
The secretary paused for a while then replied to Gerben Harvie, “Let me come back to you, alright?”
“Sure.”
The secretary quickly contacted Atwood after hanging up the phone.
Atwood almost couldn’t stand it. He wanted to go upstairs and check on Stanford. He had been hiding
upstairs for too long.
There was an empty glass in front of Atwood. He could still drink some water when he felt thirsty, but
Stanford had been hiding upstairs for more than a day without eating or drinking.
Atwood was worried.
At the same time, Atwood’s mobile phone rang. Stanford’s secretary called to ask if Atwood knew
where Stanford was. “Mr. Harvie called to tell us that Ms. Flores came back and she needs to see Mr.
James. Do you know where Mr. James is at?”
“She came back?” Atwood was excited.
Perhaps she was the only one to motivate Stanford.
The secretary was stunned. Perhaps she was startled by the excited tone Atwood displayed over the
phone, “Yes, Ms. Flores wanted to see Mr. James.”
“Alright, I’ve got the message. Ask her to come to the office. Mr. James will be there soon.”
“Sure.”
Atwood then ran upstairs and rushed to Stanford’s room upon hanging up the phone. He saw Stanford
sitting on the ground with a piece of paper in his hand.
Atwood was stunned by the door.
He had never seen Stanford looking like this before.
Atwood slowed down and walked into the room softly. He lowered his voice and said, “She’s back.”
Stanford raised his head. Atwood repeated, “Mrs. James came back. She’s waiting for you in the
office.”
Stanford wanted to see Amanda so much earlier, but now, he was sacred.
Stanford didn’t dare to face her, and he didn’t even dare to ask if the baby was still alive.
Atwood squatted down, “You’ve got a chance to apologize to her now. You can still make it up to her.”
Stanford stared at Atwood and asked, “Do I?”
Stanford wasn’t confident at all.
The question wasn’t only for Atwood. It was more for himself.
Atwood answered affirmably, “She used to love you so much. She’ll give you a chance for sure.”
“She would?” Stanford didn’t even believe a little of what Atwood said. He wouldn’t have forgiven Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
anyone who hurt him like the way he hurt Amanda.
“She’s back. I should go and see her,” Stanford stood up. However, his legs were numb after sitting on
the ground for so long. Stanford lost balance and almost fell. Atwood quickly helped Stanford, but
Stanford shooed him away, “It’s alright. I’m fine.”
“Wait for me downstairs.”
Stanford needed to take a shower and clean himself. He had to look at least decent to meet Amanda.
Stanford wanted to appear in front of Amanda in his best shape.
Atwood nodded and exited the room.
Stanford took a shower, changed his wrinkled shirt, and put on a formal black shirt. The shirt was
initially well-fitted, but it seemed a little big for Stanford now. He slimmed down in just one day.
Stanford had been trying his best to conceal his exhaustion, but he couldn’t cover up the miserable
look on his face.
Stanford got downstairs, and Atwood was standing in the living room. Atwood raised his head when he
heard Stanford came down. He felt relieved to see Stanford pulled himself together.
“I’ll go get the car,” Atwood walked out of the house before Stanford.
Stanford walked down the stairs and stood in the living room. Then, he looked around. It was the place
where Stanford and Amanda lived together for three years.
There were too many memories in the place.
Stanford didn’t dare to step into the place after Amanda left. He didn’t dare to face all the memories
they had in the house.
Stanford raised his head. Now, he needed to get Amanda back.
Then, Stanford walked out of the house.
Atwood was already in the car with the engine started.
Stanford got into the car, and Atwood started to drive away.
Atwood kept peeking on Stanford through the rear-view mirror. He wanted to say something, but in the
end, nothing came out.
Atwood was speeding. Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the J&Y Group.
Atwood quickly got out of the car to open the door for Stanford. However, Stanford had already opened
the door and got off the car.
Stanford stood at the entrance. He looked up at the building then walked into the building.
Atwood followed Stanford. He gave the secretary a call while walking and asked her Amanda’s
whereabouts.
The secretary told Atwood that Amanda was in the meeting room.
The lift stopped in front of Stanford and Atwood. They got into it, and Atwood told Stanford, “Mrs.
James is in the meeting room.”
Stanford remained silent, and he looked expressionless. However, his fists clenched.
The lift stopped.
Stanford hesitated for a second before he walked out of the lift.
He headed straight to the meeting room.
Atwood went to the secretary place and told her not to go to Stanford no matter what happened.
The secretary didn’t understand, “What if it’s an urgent matter?”
“No. Look for me if it is urgent. All in all, Mr. James won’t see anyone today. No one should disturb Mr.
James. Are you clear?”
The secretary nodded, “Yes, I’m clear.”
Stanford stood in front of the meeting room, and he was tensed. He clenched his fists and took a deep
breath, and then opened the door.
Amanda was sitting with her back facing the door. All Stanford could see was Amanda’s
back.
