Chapter 047 Breaking Up with Laura

She wanted to protect this marriage and their little family because it was George’s last wish. And since she had decided to stay married, she certainly did not want it to be a sham.

She could accept the fact that Barret stayed in this marriage because of his grandfather, and she could accept that he did not love her, but…

She could not accept that Barret was still dating Laura while they were married. If he did, then what would that make her?

Not long after Barret left, Jenny received a call from Penny Scott.

“Jenny, let’s get coffee at our usual spot. I’m back.”

“You’re back? Didn’t you say that you’ll only be done with filming next month?” Jenny was quite

surprised.

“That was the plan, but the male lead was injured doing a stunt. I think it’ll be some time before he can

continue filming.”

Penny was the most popular A-list celebrity at the moment, and she was also Jenny’s best friend. Jenny was naturally very happy that she had returned.

After tidying up, Jenny immediately set off to the coffee shop that the two of them frequented. In fact, the coffee shop was very close to Barret’ company.

The coffee shop was located in the most affluent area in the city where the real estate value was insanely expensive. However, the coffee shop was very spacious and luxuriously decorated. It looked

very grand. Most importantly, their fresh ground coffee was top notch. Jenny and Penny both loved the coffee.

Due to Penny’s identity, Jenny specifically chose a relatively hidden spot. She arrived first and ordered Penny her favorite cappuccino. Then she ordered a glass of water for herself.

It had been half a year since she last seen Penny, and Jenny almost couldn’t recognize her. “Penny, is that you?”

Penny knew that Jenny was referring to her sun-kissed skin and felt rather upset. “Oh my god, is it really that obvious?”

“Yes.” Jenny took a sip of water and nodded vigorously. “It’s so obvious that it’s literally the only thing I

can think about.”

“I wore so much sunscreen and BB cream every day. Still, the sun mercilessly tanned my delicate skin. It was so sunny there and I was outdoors every day, there is no way I wouldn’t get tanned.”

“It’s okay.” Jenny quickly smiled and comforted her, “Penny, you’re still the prettiest celebrity even with your tanned skin, No one else in the entertainment industry could hold a candle to you.”

“Haha, exaggerate much? But keep the flattery coming.”

The two friends burst into laughter.

Penny took a sip of coffee and realized that Jenny was drinking plain water instead of coffee. “What’s going on? Jenny, don’t tell me you are pregnant?” Penny was surprised and made a wild guess. “You’re right. I’m pregnant.” Jenny nodded casually. She didn’t beat around the bush. Since Penny asked,

she had no reason to hide it from her.

Penny was completely stunned. After a long time, she finally came back to her senses and looked at Jenny in disbelief. “Jenny, you’re not joking right? You’re really pregnant?”

“Do I look like I’m joking? I even quit coffee, which is my favorite.” Jenny looked down at the plain water in

front of her.

Penny was finally certain that Jenny was really pregnant. Then, she started yelling, “Barret is a jerk, a damn bastard, he knows that you’re pregnant and still wants to divorce you!”

“How do you know that we are getting a divorce?” Jenny was surprised.

“Of course I know. There is no such thing as secrets in this world.”

Jenny mulled it over for a moment and suddenly realized. “Kingsley told you, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Penny say agitatedly, “What a coincidence, the jerk is here.”

“What?”

“Barret is here,” Penny said, gritting her teeth.

Jenny was still in a daze until she heard Laura’s familiar voice calling for Barret, then she snapped back to her senses. When she turned around, she immediately saw Barret and Laura.

Laura wore a long white dress. Her smile was gentle and bright. She looked pretty, smart and elegant. She ordered two cups of coffee, took a cup for herself, and handed the other one to Barret. He took the cup and pulled Laura to a corner seat.

“Barret, I’m so happy that you asked me out today. I know about what happened to your grandfather. My condolences. But since you asked me out, it means that you’ve already thought things through, right?”

Laura smiled gently.

Barret raised his head and gulped down his coffee. The usually rich and fragrant coffee tasted particularly bitter in his mouth today.

Penny watched as everything unfolded and couldn’t hold back. She stood up and wanted to rush over, but Jenny grabbed her hand.

“Jenny, they’re shameless enough to go on a date in front of you. I need to teach them a lesson,” Penny

said.

“Don’t go. They might be breaking up today,” Jenny explained.

“Break up? What’s going on?”

“Grandpa’s death has been a huge blow to Barret. We’ve decided not to get a divorce. We wanted to give our marriage another chance.”

Penny immediately held Jenny’s hand and asked, her voice filled with concern, “Jenny, have you really decided to hold onto a man who doesn’t love you and stay in this marriage?”

Tears welled up in Jenny’s eyes. She looked up and blinked hard. Then she took a deep breath and

looked at Penny. “Yes, I’ve made up my mind. I want to try again. Before our wedding, we agreed to stay married for three years. There is still one year left. I want to give it another chance. If he still has no feelings for me after a year, I’ll let him go no matter how painful it is.”

Penny gazed at Jenny, feeling extremely sad for her friend. After a long time, she finally said, “Silly girl, is

he worth it?”

“He might not be worth it, but I want to give myself a good reason before I give up, and…” Jenny’s hand fell on her lower abdomen, and her gaze mellowed. “We are having a baby. I want to give the baby a chance to have a complete family.”

As Penny stared at Jenny’s expression, she began to understand everything. She did not try to persuade Jenny anymore, because in many ways, they were the same.

They clearly knew that certain things might not be worth it, but they still rushed toward it like a moth flying into a flame. They would not give up until they were bruised and battered.

On the other side, Laura watched as Barret drank his coffee the entire time. In less than three minutes, he had already finished the cup of coffee in his hand. Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer and said, “Barret, you ask me out today because you have something important to say, right?”

Since George had passed away, it was time for him and Jenny to get a divorce. Today, Barret must be asking her here to propose to her. He must be really nervous now, that was why he drank a whole of

cup coffee at once. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Naturally, Laura came to this conclusion.

Then, Barret finally spoke, “That’s right. There is something very important that I have to tell you in person.”

“Please, go ahead.” Laura looked at him, her eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

“Laura, let’s break up. You should be with a nice guy.”

“What?” Laura stared at him in disbelief. She was completely stunned. “Barret, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”
