Chapter <b>107 </b>


    Mnie was still in a bad mood when they arrived at the hotel. She did not notice that Eugene and Vi were still in a cold war.


    She told them she was heading back to her room. She did not turn on the lights back in her room and sat there silently for some time before calling Dn.


    Dn seemed to be busy. She was panting when she answered the call and did not notice the caller ID. She asked, “Who is this?”


    “It’s me.” Mnie stood by the window, looking at the pouring rain outside. Dn seemed startled to hear her voice and asked doubtfully, “Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”


    Not many mothers would ask their daughters why they called.


    Mnie lowered her eyelids as she faced the dark room. “Nothing. I want to ask about your current situation.”


    Dn stopped and seemed to be anxious. She spoke with caution, “It’s not that optimistic. Peachie was admitted to the hospital again.”


    Mnie said nothing upon hearing her tone.


    Dn tried to probe Mnie’s condition. “Mel, how have you been doing recently?”


    Mnie answered expressionlessly, “I’m on a business trip in Prime City.”


    “Oh, business trip…” Dn repeated before asking, “Can you transfer me some money? Peachie…”


    “Her dad asked me for money,” Mnie interrupted Dn.


    She turned around and opened the window, letting the wind in as she asked, “Did you give him all the money I gave you before this?”


    Dn smiled bitterly as she tried to speak up for herself, “I didn’t have a choice.”


    Mnie hung up the call, suddenly feeling helpless.


    The money she gave Dn was quite a hefty sum. She gave it to her because she felt Peachie was too young to suffer and Dn was her mother, after all.


    Who knew…


    Mnie felt a headache striking her. Slowly, she got up and went to take a bath before going straight to bed.


    She had no idea that Vi and Eugene were still in a cold war.


    Vi felt wronged as Evelyn and Peyton had insulted her, yet Eugene did not speak up for her. He even agreed to Mnie’s act and asked her to leave.


    She was his girlfriend, not/Mnie!


    Vi’s grievances surged within her when she thought about Mnie.


    She pondered with her head down. Seeing Eugene being nice to Mnie, the inferiorityplex that had not struck for a long time reappeared.

    Eugene was in his room, dealing with work. Vi walked over with her bare feet and stood at the door. She approached upon seeing no reaction from Eugene.


    She squatted beside Eugene, hugged his waist, and sniffled as she asked, “Eugene, are you starting to dislike me?”


    Eugene’s fingers that were typing on the keyboard froze as he said, “No.”


    His eyes were fixed on the screen, and he did not even nce at her when he said that. Vi saw his expression and was unhappy, yet she dared not show it on her face. `After calming herself down, she looked at the screen and asked, “What are you doing?” “Nothing.” Eugene typed thest number and shut down theptop before looking at Vi. His voice was gentle and deep. He sounded helpless as he said, “Don’t overthink. Aren’t you tired today? Sleep early.”


    “I want you to sleep by my side,” Vi acted coquettishly as she hugged him.


    Eugene froze for a moment before he patted her arm,forting her, “I have to work.”


    Vi bit her lip and muttered, “Why do you still have to work?”


    However, she seemed to be afraid Eugene might misunderstand. She added, “Work is important, but so is your health.”
