Chapter 775 - 775: Family Dispute (Part 1)
"Jerk!" Winona cursed, sniffing a bit, as she strutted far from the hospital. "See who cares for him!"
The beautiful curvaceous damsel naturally caught the attention of many men, let alone the one who was specifically looking for her. He blocked her way, making Winona almost bump into him.
However, she managed to stop on time and step back, though not forgetting to glare at the damned obstacle. At this time though, she could only glare at his shoe while she wiped away her tears as subtly as she could.
"Winona…" he said, voice drooping with flirtatiousness.
Winona's eyebrows rose and she looked at the handsome man with wavy ash blonde hair.
After getting to Alterra and getting access to the hygiene products, this guy cleaned up well, without any sign of his poor state before getting here.
He was still a disgusting scum in Winona's eyes, however. She crossed her arms, looking defensively at him. "What do you want?"
"Does there have to be a reason for a man to see his fiance?"
"Ex-fiance," she corrected. "Pretty sure I broke that off when I saw you fucking two women!"
"Neither families agreed to that, my love," he said. "We're still in a relationship, and I can assure you I will not make the same mistakes—"
"Shut up."
Winona really didn't need this bug right now!
This guy was someone who moved from Limestone Valley, attracted by what they showed in the newspaper. He applied—as did hundreds of others—for the engineering department when the Re
…
Later that night, seeing as Winona's not coming back, Ansel checked himself out (earning himself some stares from the old women, who had also recovered enough to get out).
Althea and Garan naturally knew that he was healthy, thinking he was just being lazy at the hospital. Althea even supported it, because he really needed some rest, and perhaps it could be a chance for Winona and Ansel to develop more as a couple.
She didn't have any idea that Ansel would botch that chance so horribly.
Anyway, he brought the items Winona left in his room. He didn't know how Althea convinced the blonde to take care of him, but Winona brought some stuff expecting she'd stay for hours, maybe even days.
For example, he had her hair brush, toothbrush, toothpaste, and face towels.
Winona's space, he knew, was filled with her other essentials as well as experimental things, so he wasn't surprised she brought a bag for a change of clothing and toiletries.
He sighed and he, with his 'good hand', carried the hemp duffel bag—made in the factory by the way—and he headed to Winona's villa not too far away from theirs.
He was wearing a cast on the other arm. It was fake, of course.
Winona better feel guilty abandoning him like that.
It was just that, before he could ring the doorbell, he heard something knock inside, followed by some yells.
His eyebrows furrowed and he wanted to climb up the gate. Unfortunately, the system security for houses outside of wars was impeccable and he would not be able to enter even if he jumped over like superman.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wonder for long as the door opened. His eyes softened a bit as he saw familiar blonde hair, but then he saw her glassy eyes filled with betrayed anger and he froze.
"How can you let them in like this grandma!" she yelled as she looked back into the villa. "This is my house! I paid for it with my hard work!"
"I'm your grandmother!"
"It doesn't mean you can just let strangers stay in MY house!" She said, "I should've known I shouldn't have agreed to sign co-ownership with you! Now I can't even kick them out with the system!"
Her voice was shaky, filled with the tone of betrayal and accusation. Ansel could tell she was on the verge of crying, and it made Ansel livid.
He gritted his teeth. How dare they make Winona cry!!
