She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 639: Bicker

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Despite the gloomy and cold winter outside the window, the heating inside the room made it feel cozy and warm. The dim yellow lights added a touch of warmth too. Shirts and nightgowns were scattered on the floor, crumpled and lonely.

Kate felt her voice was on the verge of becoming hoarse, so she bit her lip and buried her head in the pillow.

She felt uncomfortable, causing her to take a sharp breath and feel the pain.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

But her waist was tightly held by a pair of large hands, with the man cunningly pressing down on her slender waist. "What's wrong?"

"My nose hurts. Will I turn into Pinocchio."

How annoying that he would use this position from behind.

Hearing this, Master Glenn couldn't help but laugh and picked her up, swiftly changing their gesture.

He carefully examined her nose and, apart from the cute and pink tip that was a little red, everything seemed fine.

"Only lying children turn into Pinocchio. Kate, have you lied to me?"

"No."

"Really? Then how did you answer me when I asked if you liked it?"

She didn't like it...

The consequences of lying were serious, and she felt as if her body was being disassembled and reconstructed. The man's strong arms instinctively wrapped around her body, pulling the blanket over her.

He neatly tucked in the corners.

Before falling asleep, he lightly kissed her nose like a dragonfly skimming the water. "Goodnight, little Pinocchio." The next day, just as dawn was breaking, she woke up feeling as though she had been lightly drizzled upon.

Drops fell on her forehead, between her eyebrows, and mostly on her nose... It was so annoying. Kate reached out to wipe away the droplets but it only earned her a shallow smile from him.

After teasing her for a while, the man, in accordance with his disciplined schedule, got up at half-past seven, barefoot on the floor. He casually picked a black suit from the closet and headed towards the bathroom.

Last night, she was exhausted to the point where she wasn't awakened even by his loud movements when he got up.

Kate was eventually awakened by hunger. When she got up, she almost felt as if she had turned into a disabled person. Her legs felt as weak as if she were stepping on cotton.

Finally managing to move to the bathroom, she freshened up and by the time she came out, it was almost one in the afternoon.

There was a knocking sound outside the bedroom door. "Knock, knock, knock... Miss Zamora, are you awake?"

"Wait!"

The maid would clean the room at noon every day, changing the bedsheets and covers.

Embarrassingly, she and Master Glenn made too much noise last night, and the black bedsheets had wet stains on them. She didn't want to be seen like that.

Enduring the pain in her body, she quickly took off the bedsheets, along with the costume she wore yesterday, and threw them into the laundry basket, before finally opening the door for the two of them. Well, this kind of behavior undoubtedly exposed her secret.

The maid covered her mouth and smirked, saying, "Actually, Miss Zamora, you don't have to be shy. Before Master Glenn left, he told us that you were tired last night and asked us to take good care of you." Boom!

Kate's face turned as red as an apple, pink and tender enough for someone to take a bite. Upon closer inspection, even her ears turned pink.

Master Glenn never brought women home, and Miss Zamora was the first one.

Her shy and gentle image, mixed with her natural airheadness, had earned her the favor of some of the servants.

"Sorry to bother you. I'm going downstairs to take a look at books. School is starting soon, and there's a diagnostic test..."

She slipped out of the door as if fleeing, and suddenly her feet didn't ache anymore, nor did her waist hurt.

She said she was going to read, but in reality, she was too hungry to concentrate. She reluctantly stayed for twenty minutes, mostly just scrolling through Twitter on her phone. The top trending topic was "Jerome and Reece's Love-Hate Relationship."

Reece made it to the trending topic again?

It wasn't really surprising. Reece held a respectable status among male celebrities, and his "funny" image often made it to the trends.

Kate had nothing better to do, so she clicked on the topic and checked out its content.

Jerome posted a semi-disguised

selfie. Under the beauty filter, you couldn't see any pores on his face. Even that small red mark was so faint that you needed a magnifying glass to find it. The caption was humorous: "Got accidentally scratched by a dog today guess it's time for some meat. Should I go for steamed or braised? @Reece"

His fans, whether being somewhat blind or overly dramatic, were actively commenting on this tiny wound.

"Ah, ah, ah, Jerome's face is God's most perfect creation. How could there be any flaws? Starting today, I've decided not to raise dogs anymore!"

Reece: "Damn it, why did you mention me for no reason, @Jerome"

Shortly after, he launched his retaliatory strike.

Within ten minutes of Jerome's post, Reece sent out a new tweet.

The image showed him in the kitchen, holding a shiny knife, with a small palm-sized green-shelled turtle on a cutting board. The knife was poised directly above the turtle's head, and the poor thing retreated into its shell in fright.

Reece: "Today's recipe for lunch: Brazilian dark green turtle stew with wolfberries and broccoli. Any takers? @Jerome"

Their fighting style was like that of kindergarten kids, making the internet users laugh.

Kate couldn't resist and replied to Reece's recipe, "Reece, you're feeling weak?"

Soon enough, Reece bombarded her Twitter with a bunch of carrot emojis.

"I heard you turned into a rabbit on set yesterday. Here, enjoy. It's what's left from my pig feed factory! @Kate, no need to cry." Kate's right eyelid suddenly started twitching.

Uh-oh, she could sense that something bad was about to happen. That damned Reece, why did he mention her for no reason?

Last time, they made headlines for

giving her a cloak on set, and as a result, she was bombarded by internet users, calling her a

scheming bitch and an oblivio.net

ugly duckling. How dare she have her hands on two male heartthrobs at the same time!

Sure enough, Kate's Twitter soon became a battleground.

As her number of fans skyrocketed, the comments section overflowed with insults, using extremely harsh language.

"Being a homewrecker and still trying to ride the wave, how disgusting!"

"Not just one sugar daddy, right? Otherwise, how could she snatch the leading role? Despicable woman, scram!"

"I hope you get hit by a car as soon as you step outside. Being a mistress is truly sickening!"
