President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 213

The next day, when I got up, he was not in the room.

When I touched the bed, it was already cool, indicating that he had already left.

I wanted to go to the bathroom but I heard the water in it.

“Who?”

I was startled.

At this time, a servant came out of the bathroom and looked at me apologetically and said, “Miss Carter.”

“Why are you here now? Don’t you usually come in the afternoon?”

I looked at the servant suspiciously. Although she usually cleaned the house, I doubted everyone and everything after yesterday.

The servant said respectfully, “Mr. Jessop has me picked up in the morning and asked me to clean up here.”

“...”

I thought it was strange and went into the bathroom.

It was almost cleaned. The sapphire blue bathrobe Sean wore yesterday was not hung in the original place. “Where is the blue bathrobe?”

“I saw it on the ground when I came in, so I washed it directly.”

The servant explained to me.

“OK.”

I replied. I thought something was wrong, but I couldn’t say it.

When I wanted to ask her more, my cell phone rang in the bedroom.

I knew it was Daisy.

I picked up the phone and she yelled, “what time is it? Why haven’t you come? I’m angry.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll go out now.” I looked up at my watch. It was over 11 o’clock. I went to bed late yesterday, so I got up now.

I hung up and washed my face and changed. I was going to take a taxi.

But as soon as I went out, I saw Sean’s car parked at the door.

When I saw his car, I was shocked. I thought he was going to drive me, so I rushed to the copilot. I opened the door and wanted to say hello.

“Miss Carter.”

The man in the car said hello to me first.

It was Eric.

I couldn’t hide my disappointment, but I smiled reluctantly and sat in the copilot, “Eric.”

“President Jessop is busy and let me drive you.”

Eric replied respectfully.

I responded and didn’t say a word all the way. As I approached Daisy’s house, I asked, “Eric, do you know where Sean went last night?”

“Last night? I don’t know. I follow President Jessop almost only during the day.”

Eric said calmly.

His words were very formulaic and he answered very quickly.

He seemed to have been ready to answer my question.

I knew Sean would order his assistant if he hid something from me.

The car soon arrived at Daisy’s house.

I went upstairs with my present.

It was the first time I had seen her since I disfigured.

I knocked on the door.

The door opened in less than three seconds. The woman in the room held me with open arms. “Long time no see. I miss you so much.”

She looked down at the two gifts in my hand and said with a smile, “Hey, I said you don’t have to prepare gifts.”

She picked up the two presents and looked up at my mask. “Why do you come to my house wearing a mask? You are becoming more and more like the wife of the rich.”

Daisy raised her hand and took off my mask before I reacted!

The joy on her face suddenly turned into shock, “what’s wrong with your face?”

“Well, it’s a long story.”

I went into the house. This time, Daisy’s house was clean. I soon found a place to sit down.

Daisy was sitting opposite me.

It took me about an hour and a half to tell her that I was kidnapped by Molly and the black people had AIDS, and then Sean found out when I was abroad and I decided to have a facelift.

She was shocked. “Molly is so shameless! How dare she go abroad! Don’t let me see her or I’ll skin her!”

“OK.” Today was Daisy’s birthday. I didn’t want to tell her anything more complicated.

I took her to the two presents and said with a smile, “one of them is from me and the other is from someone else.”

“Someone else?”

Daisy looked at me suspiciously.

I nodded mysteriously.

She took out the pair of shoes I gave first. When she saw a pair of high heels inside, she looked very happy, “Wow! This is a limited edition!”

Daisy took it out and walked around the room wearing it.

Then she took it off and patted the sole with her hand. She came up to me with satisfaction and kissed me, “I like this gift.”

“That’s good.”

I said it so as not to reveal which was my gift.

Actually, I hadn’t opened Jack’s gift and I didn’t know what was inside.

Daisy put the shoes back in the box and quickly opened the purple jewelry box.

There was a bohemian style colorful bracelet in it.

It was beautiful and exaggerated.

She took the bracelet out and put it on. There was no superfluous expression on her face.

I couldn’t see if she was happy.

I thought Daisy didn’t like it. When I wanted to tell her that Jack sent the bracelet, she said, “who sent this? He knows me well.”

“Huh?”

I looked at Daisy in surprise.

She wore the bracelet and turned to look at me. “Well, I know you gave me the high heels. Whose gift is this bracelet? I think it’s necessary for me to know the person with good taste.”

Daisy’s words left me wondering what to say.

“It’s not from Sean, is it?” Daisy knew I was embarrassed, so she joked, “I didn’t think he knew women before.”

When Daisy said it, she seemed to realize something.

She looked at me displeased. “Is this bracelet from Jack?”

“Yes.” I nodded helplessly. I wanted to tell her what happened that day, but I thought of Sean helping him, so I just said, “I met him that day when I was buying presents.”

“He must be buying clothes with a woman!”

Daisy knew Jack very well.

Lunch time was over.

I went shopping with Daisy. She bought a lot of clothes and then we decided to find a coffee shop for a rest.

When we were about to enter a coffee shop, I saw a man and a woman walking out of a French cafe not far away.

One was in a black coat and the other was in a white cape.

They matched very well.
