I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Before Julian and Terrence arrived, Meredith had already cheered up Stella immensely. Not long after, Julian came in, dressed smartly and looking energetic. On the way, Terrence had a heart-to-heart talk with Julian. When they entered the private room, Stella and Julian exchanged glances, both feeling a bit embarrassed. Despite being an old married couple, they still needed their son and daughter-in-law to mediate.

Julian had bought a bouquet of flowers on the way and handed them to Stella with a hint of shyness. “Stella, these are for you.”

Stella blushed, glanced at Meredith and Terrence, and said to Julian, “We’re an old married couple; why bother with flowers?”

Julian gave her an out, and Stella took it. There was no point in holding grudges any longer. Seeing Stella relent made Julian especially happy. “Stella, you finally forgave me. How about we remarry tomorrow?”

Stella sat down and replied, “You’re in such a hurry. Didn’t you say you were treating us to dinner? I want to have a good meal today. Depending on your performance, we’ll talk about remarrying later.”

Julian realized his son had tricked him; it wasn’t Stella treating them to dinner but him. None of that mattered now; he just wanted to make his wife happy.

Meredith and Terrence exchanged a look and naturally decided not to be third wheels. Terrence held Little Lucky and said, “Mom, Dad, enjoy your meal. Meredith and I are going to watch a movie.”

“You’re not eating?” Stella asked. “Why take Rowan to the movies?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Terrence replied, “We want some family time too.”

Meredith smiled and said, “Mom and Dad, we’re leaving now.”

The two had other plans and left early. Terrence really bought movie tickets and took Meredith to see a film. Little Lucky was very cooperative; she was excited when they entered but soon fell asleep.

Meredith hadn’t watched a movie in a long time and felt relaxed for the first time in ages. After the movie, the couple went for a late-night snack. Little Lucky had formula ready since Terrence had prepared everything before leaving.

At a roadside stall, Little Lucky sat in her stroller holding her bottle while Meredith and Terrence sat on either side with drinks in hand. Terrence laughed and said, “Let’s toast as a family of three-wishing Rowan health and growth, my wife eternal youth, constant smiles, health, and happiness.”

Little Lucky didn’t understand what a toast was but watched as Terrence and Meredith clinked their glasses against her bottle. Meredith laughed and said, “I wish my daughter good health and my love peace and joy. Cheers.”

Terrence smiled back, “Cheers.”

They each took a sip of their drinks. Little Lucky looked at her parents curiously as if she understood; she took a sip from her bottle too, making Terrence and Meredith laugh.

Seeing her parents laugh made Little Lucky giggle as well.

See? Happiness is really that simple-a meal with family.

Terrence kept his word; he had entrusted the company to reliable people. Except for important decisions requiring his signature, he no longer needed to be involved.

Rick had recovered fully and could return to work at the company with Linda as his trusted aide, giving Terrence peace of mind.

Due to Reginald’s issues earlier, many things were delayed, including Darcy DuMont’s planned wedding date which was now impossible.

Terrence picked a new wedding date: September 1st. He was now fully focused on preparing for the wedding while spending time with his wife and daughter exploring places.

Time passed quickly this way.

The verdict for Selene’s trial was out-she was sentenced to three years while Hya received the death penalty with immediate execution.

Selene didn’t know Hya’s fate; their trials were separate. She always thought Hya got life imprisonment; she never imagined John Wilkinson would deceive her.

John Wilkinson promised Hya they would meet one last time but ultimately Hya refused his arrangement; she didn’t want to face Selene.

As the black hood was placed over her head, Hya closed her eyes. Memories of training camp with Selene flashed through her mind as she silently said: Selene, goodbye.
