Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 135

Filip sneered and made a sudden dodge aside.

He was not in a good mood now. He was willing to teach the boy a lesson.

Then a fight broke out. They were of the same height, but Edward had always been busy with TV series and commercials and he also needed to keep slim by being on a diet. He didn't make a match for Filip.

At first, the two were evenly matched. Edward could even mock him while fighting, "Do you know why she chose to marry you? She just wanted to get the five million to terminate my contract! And any idea why she was so good to you? She did so just for…"

Filip remained silent but he acted promptly.

Edward didn't catch up and soon his stomach was punched by Filip.

He hummed and his words halted.

Filip took his hands and then his collar before he pressed Edward onto his own car, "For what?"

Under the dim light, the man's face looked quite cold and scary.

Filip touched the right corner of his mouth and glared at Filip with anger in his eyes, "I think you know the answer. She was good to you just because she felt guilty for you. Starry has never loved you. Just get away from her!"

He said without haste or hesitation. Filip felt as if his heart received a heavy blow.

It had been his pride and his self-esteem that supported him to go on his life since the evening he was refused by Starry.

He thought his words might bring some change to her life. But it didn't happen.

With what happened during their marriage and those pictures, Filip had no idea why Starry would change that fast.

He didn't have the slightest thought to get divorced with her from the beginning.

And he had always been keeping a pair of cold eyes on her to see how she tried to seek sympathy from others by putting on a pitiful face. Such a hypocritical, selfish, and greedy woman!

Ironically, he was still unconsciously attracted by such a hypocritical, selfish, and greedy woman.

He never thought he loved Starry or she loved him.

All the people around him had told him that Starry loved him so much.

He didn't believe them at first. But as they kept telling him so, he gradually believed their words.

After their divorce, from the point of view of an outsider, he was sure that Starry loved him.

But that evening, Starry said to him firmly that they've got divorced.

He knew she didn't feel anything for him anymore.

And now Edward was reminding him again that Starry didn't love him anymore.

Pitifully, she did love him before. At least he believed so.

The fire in his blacks grew bigger and bigger. He let Edward's hands go and raised his hand to punch him.

Unexpectedly, his fist passed Edward's face and fell onto the car.

The wind aroused by his fist passed Edward's hair. Edward stared at Filip. He thought Filip's fist would have fallen on his face.

Filip then took his hand back and said, "And what about you? She doesn't love you either."

Then he stared at Edward contemptuously before he got back to his own car.

Edward wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Filip's car back away.

Soon, the black Maybach was driven away and as it finally disappeared from Edward's eyesight, Edward kicked a piece of rock nearby angrily.

Filip's words were also right.

On the third day of the New Year, it snowed heavily in an unexpected way in Finas City.

Starry woke up and found the house opposite to hers were covered all over by a layer of snow as she drew the curtain.

Some children were making snowmen in the yard in front of that house.

Now her leg didn't hurt anymore after half a month of rest.

But today she had to get to the hospital to rebandage and a week later the plaster splints on her legs could be removed.

The road now was difficult to walk with the snow.

Starry wore a pair of heavy snow boots and walked down the snow-covered street with a walking stick on her right hand and an umbrella in her left hand. The scene was a bit miserable to look.

Wyatt thought he had mistaken her for someone else. Why would he meet Starry in Finas City?

But it must be difficult to find some of the same look as Starry here.

He ran over to her and found it was indeed Starry, "Starry?"

Starry was a little surprised as she found the voice a bit familiar. Then she tilted her head to find it was Wyatt Matthews, "Mr. Matthews?"

What a coincidence.

"Happy New Year. Why are you here?"

Starry smiled, "Happy New Year. Finas City is my hometown."

Wyatt folded his umbrella and took hers, "Where are you heading now?'

"To rebandage my legs in the hospital ahead."

"I can accompany you."

Starry shook her head, "I'm fine. You can just spend more time with your family, Mr. Matthews. I can walk there alone."

Wyatt smiled, "But I don't want to get back home alone."

His families did urge him to get married soon this year.

He was here not only to visit his grandma and grandpa but also to avoid the blind dates arranged by his family.

Starry was a bit stunned, "You're from Finas City?"

She thought he was from Southpool City.

"My mother is from Finas City. Her parents live here."

Starry didn't insist, "Then thank you, Mr. Matthews."

The hospital was not far away. But it was a difficult journal for Starry as she was walking with a broken leg and a huge umbrella.

Now with the help of Wyatt, who held the umbrella for her, Starry felt much better.

As it was still the New Year holiday, there were only a few people in the hospital.

Starry had made an appointment online. But she still waited for a while before a nurse came over to deal with her problem.

Wyatt was waiting gently at the door with Starry's walking stick and umbrella in hand.

About ten minutes later, Starry soon got outside with her legs rebandaged.

Wyatt gave the walking stick to her, "How is your leg?"

"Fine. The splints could be removed next week."

"Congratulations."

Starry sighed, "But the doctor said it would still take one month and a half for me to walk smoothly."

"It is said a broken leg takes three months to recover."

Wyatt's phone rang suddenly.

Starry stopped to wait him.
