Chapter 28: Encounter Nelson
Caroline sobbed on the phone for half an hour until E promised to find a solution.
She got out of the taxi with her phone in hand. At this time E felt like all her blood had been drawn.
Uncle Morris is her stepfather Luke Morris. Caroline married him when E was only eight years old.
Luke Morris was nice. The family lived a happy life. Two years ago, Caroline borrowed 100,000 dors
from E to open a small shop for the tuition of their son, saying they won''t bother E for any other
fees.

Except the 100,000 dors, Caroline had never asked money from E.
But this time...was a big matter!
Alice came back at twelve o''clock.
Seeing that the light was not turned on and E sat alone in the living room, she was startled. She
turned on themp, "E, it''ste."
E held a credit card in hand. It was the 5 million she was returning to Benjamin. Yesterday he just left
without taking it away.
Alice immediately took off her heels, went to the sofa to sit next to her. Her eyes were full of worry,
"E, what happened? Just tell me."
"My mom called and said Uncle Morris Killed a high school student... and he was drunk-driving!"
"Oh my God, is that your stepfather? Why was he drunk-driving? The whole country is getting very
harsh on drunk-driving. He should have known the result ofmitting it!" Alice frowned and sighed.
"I remembered telling you once that Uncle Morris was a PE teacher. He was a bit strict, but he was
responsible. But a schoolgirl made a mistake in the ssroom, he punished the schoolgirl for running a
long distance. The schoolgirl had a grudge on him and went to the teaching office to say that Uncle
Morris was assaulting her sexually. With her friend secretly taking a picture, Morris was fired the next
day."
"Uncle Morris lost his job. My mother thought that he could help at our family shop. He had a drink
before taking the van to buy the goods. Now, the other side wants apensation of two million
dors, and Uncle Morris will probably be detained for six months."
At this moment, Alice fully understood E. She held Alice''s hands, "E, things have happened. We
can only figure out how to solve. I''ll lend you the money!"
"Alice, thank you. I have the money, but if I spend five million in my card, Benjamin and I can''t get
divorced."
"Didn''t you say that five million was given to the gigolo? Why is the money back?" Alice was surprised.
"He returned me the money. And, he''s not a gigolo at all! He''s the president of ourpany, my boss."
E sighed.
"Oh my god! Is that true? It sounds like a novel. Just ignore Benjamin. After all, it''s your family. Things
must be solved! If Benjamin is determined to ask for five million, we''ll collect evidence of his cheating
and let the court judge it!"
Hearing her advice, Eughed with self-mockery, "Alice, don''t forget. We are not divorced now, but I
hooked up with another man, too."
"Well, you should settle your family affairs first, and then find a time to talk to Benjamin as soon as
possible. It''s best to be able to divorce peacefully. I''ll lend you the two million dors if necessary. You
can give it to me when you have it."
E was relieved. Actually, she wanted to talk to Alice just for the money.
Before Alice returned, E had already thought about all the solutions she could figure out.
"Alice, thank you! If I really need to borrow your money then, I''ll work hard to pay you back!"
"E, it doesn''t matter when you paid me back. Tell me whenever you need the money. It''s toote
now. Let''s go to bed. Aren''t you going to work tomorrow?" Alice yawned as she stood up.
E also stood up. She and Alice hugged each other and returned to the room.
When Ey down, she received a message from Benjamin, "I don''t need your money now. If you
want a divorce,e back tomorrow after work."
Seeing that she don''t have to pay the money, E was excited for an hour before falling asleep.
The next morning, she called the design assistant for absence,.
E went to the bank to remit to Caroline and called her. Caroline was excited saying they would
handle theter affairs.
She ran into someone.
"Hi, Nelson!"
Seeing her immediately, E wore a casual outfit today with light makeup. Her delicate looked still
attractive. "You didn''t go to work?"
"I''m running a little private business and I''ve ask for a leave."
"Fine." Nelson walked into the bank hall.
Seeing him not say anything, E shrugged and left.
Standing on the side of the road for ten minutes, she still couldn''t take a taxi. But if she walked to the
subway station it would take 20 minutes, so she decided to continue waiting.
Nelson finished his business and saw her.
Somehow he drove towards her, "E, are you back to thepany?"
"Yeah!"
"Then get in the car."
She hesitated for a while but got on.
"Thank you, Nelson."
He gazed at her with a rather focused eye.
E blushed immediately, "Nelson. Why are you looking at me like this?"
He approached her. E instinctively leaned back. Her heart was jumping out of her throat: "Nelson..."
Nelson just buckled her seat belt and held the steering wheel, driving away.
In the next 20 minutes, E sat awkwardly, considering herself as an idiot. She thought he was going to
kiss her...
"E, do you have a boyfriend?"
