Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

The look in Juan's eyes made Debra realize there was no point in protesting anymore.

If she continued to challenge him, he could force her to go home today.

Debra took a deep breath.

A wise woman knew when to yield, and sometimes patience was the best strategy.

"Alright," Debra said. "I'll be home at least twice a week Is that okay?"

"Three times," he countered.

Debra was about to get angry but held back at his gaze.

Being a graduate student at Arcane Academy wasn't overly demanding academically, and going home three times a week wasn't an insurmountable issue. Juan must have consulted the principal. Debra adjusted her attitude and forced a smile at Juan Three times it is. Anything else, Mr. Nichols?" "You must come home whenever I call. Joe will escort you."

Taking another deep breath, Debra continued smiling. "No problem. Anything else?"

""Not for now."

It implied there might be more conditions in the future,

Suddenly, Debra felt like studying at Arcane Academy had given Juan additional leverage over her. After all, she couldn't let Melody know she was studying there. That old lady was a tough nut to crack.

"I have some work at the office. I'll have Joe take you back to school later." Juan stood up, paused as if remembering something, and added, "Stay away from Jordan."

She didn't know why he brought up Jordan out of the blue.

Debra tried to recall what happened before she fainted, Perhaps, Jordan and Juan had crossed paths.

In the afternoon, Debra was dropped off at school by Joe.

She had expected to see Jordan in class but found everyone except him,

"Debra, come in," Randy called out from the classroom door.

Debra snapped back and took a seat in the back. She had planned to get Jordan's attention and establish

a rapport, but Juan's sudden appearance had foiled her plans.

The conflicts between the Potter and Nichols families were well-known.

There were benefits to being Juan's wife, but the disadvantages were just as significant.

Meanwhile, Shelia deliberately approached the classroom. She had done her research when preparing for the postgraduate entrance exams. These days, all the postgraduates should be having classes here.

"Shelia, let's go upstairs." Carrie tugged at Shelia.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Shella hesitated. "You go ahead and sign me in. I'll be up in a moment."

"You've been having Wendy sign you in these days. What if the teacher fails your class?"

"Don't worry. I won't fail."

Shelia was confident in her academic prowess.

"Alright then, I'll head up."

Carrie went upstairs while Shelia slipped into the hallway. Shella wanted to see if Debra was really in this classroom.

Sure enough, through the window, Shelia quickly spotted Debra sitting in the back row of the classroom.

For a moment, she struggled to keep her jealousy in check.
