Howard lifted his arms <b>as </b>if he wanted to hug Mnie, but he backed away after hesitating. In the end, hemented about how fast time flew.
Mnie looked at his <b>face </b>and said indifferently, “It only takes two hours <b>to </b>fly from Oskon City <b>to </b>
Jepton.”
With her lips pursed, she stared at Howard.
Since Howard moved out of Jepton<b>, </b>this was the first time Mnie had seen him.
When Dn divorced Howard, she threw away most <b>of </b>Howard’s photos. Mnie had secretly kept one, but Dn scolded her when she found <b>out </b>and burned it.
Besides looking <b>older</b>, Howard looked like <b>a </b>sessful <b>man </b>in his suit.
<b>He </b>had not changed at all.
Compared to Dn, who had changed a <b>lot</b>, Howard seemed to be living a good life.
However, Mnie could not understand why.
She could tell Howard was living a good <b>life </b>from Matthew’s life.
Mnie bit her lip as she looked into Howard’s eyes, waiting for his answer<b>. </b>
Since Howardmented how time had flown and he missed her, why did he not visit her even once back then?
He was lying!
Mnie refused to believe his <b>words</b>.
It was impossible for Howard to not even have <b>a </b>day off in the past <b>few </b>years.
Howard did not <b>expect </b>Mnie to <b>be </b><b>so </b>straightforward. Flustered, he tried toe up with a
wless excuse.
However, before he could do <b>so</b><b>, </b>that young woman with him came <b>over</b>.
She nced at Mnie in displeasure. Then<b>, </b>she wanted to hold Howard’s arm again, but Howard dodged.
Instantly, rage shot through <b>her</b><b>. </b>She asked coquettishly<b>, </b><b>“</b>Who <b>is </b>she? Did she mesmerize you just by staring at you just now?”
Howard faced Mnie <b>as </b>he cleared his throat and snapped, <b>“</b>What nonsense are you talking about? She’s Mel, my daughter.”
Then, he put on a straight face and exined to Mnie<b>, </b>“This is Bianca, <b>a </b>new intern in mypany. Her hometown is far away, and she works in Oskon City alone. She wanted to save money
and didn’t want to go to the hospital <b>even </b>when ill. So, I brought her here<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie nced at the woman who looked younger than her and said, “Looks like yourpany cares about its employees <b>so </b>much that even the boss is apanying an intern to the hospital<b>.</b>”
Feeling awkward, Howard cleared his throat guiltily and said<b>, </b>“Mel<b>, </b>when did you arrive in Oskon City? Why are you here? Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve picked you up.”
Mnie looked at Howard’s pretentious smile and calmed herself down.
Why was he acting like her dad?
Mnie felt it was ridiculous listening to Howard’s words.
She nced at Bianca Redwood again. Bianca was holding Howard’s arm <b>once </b>more. She did not seem to intend to hide their rtionship.
