Filed to story: Revenge Marriage Sweet Love Novel Free Online (Cate & Shaun) >>
Unbeknownst to her, at the entrance of another private restaurant building next to hers, a handsome young man was walking into his car. He was just about to drive away when he saw a glimpse of his first love.
Under the dim moonlight, Mireya was wearing a blue denim dress. Her long hair was in curly waves, her figure was curvy, and her defined face was looking down slightly at her phone. Just by looking at her profile, he could already see how charming she was.
Patrick’s breath stopped.
The last time he saw her was a few months ago at the airport, where she had two children with her. Then, after Cate and Shaun’s matter came to light, he learned that the children were Cate and Shaun’s.
Later, he learned that she was the world’s youngest and most promising cosmetic chemist. Each one of her formulas was worth hundreds of millions.
Even later on, he heard that she was engaged after spending a night with Rodney, but it did not take long for Rodney to abandon her for Sarah.
At that time, he did think about calling her and comforting her, but she was soon adopted by Nathan Snow.
Now, she was the goddaughter of the future prime minister. Her status was high up in the clouds, and she was already a world away from him.
However, when he saw Mireya’s familiar figure, he still could not resist the impulse to drive the car over.
Mireya did not expect the car she had booked to arrive so quickly. She opened the door and got into the back seat. “Brighton Gardens, please.”
Patrick tightened his grip on the steering wheel. It was his first time in the capital, so he did not know the roads here very well. All he could do was open the navigation app and enter the address of Brighton Gardens.
When the navigation started, he quickly drove away.
Through the rearview mirror, he quietly looked at the woman in the back seat.
She did not seem to recognize him, but it had been three years. Three years since he was alone with her in such close quarters.
The scent on her was still the same as before. He could not help but think that if Linda not gotten injured that year, and he made it in time to meet with Mireya’s parent, maybe they would have gotten married long ago. They might even have children already.
However, fate took a turn, and everything went in an unknown direction.
The car drove for three minutes before Mireya’s phone rang, and the voice of the driver from the ride- hailing app sounded. “Miss, I’ve arrived at the location. Why can’t I see you?”
“What” Mireya was stunned. “I just got into a white car. That wasn’t yours?”
“Lady, you got in the wrong car. I just arrived.” The driver wanted to cry.
“I’m so sorry, ” Mireya immediately apologized. “I might have gotten into the wrong car. Tell you what, I’ll cancel the order so it won’t affect your credibility.”
“Thank you so much.”
“It’s okay, it was my fault.” Mireya hung up the phone and hurriedly grabbed the driver in front. ” Mister, sorry, but I took the wrong car. Did you pick up the wrong person?”
“No.”
At the familiar man’s voice, Patrick turned around to reveal his handsome and elegant face.
Mireya’s mind went blank for a few seconds. Her whole person seemed to be drenched with cold water, and her body was cold. “Why is it you?”
“I ate there and just so happened to see you when I came out.” Patrick quickly turned back and focused on driving. ” I drove over and you got in, as if you took me for a ride-hailing app driver.”
Mireya saw the Porsche logo on his steering wheel. She actually took the Porsche as a ridesharing car.
” Sorry, let me off at the curb,” Mireya said faintly.
“It’s fine. It’s not that far. I’ll drop you off in ten minutes or so,” Patrick said in a warm voice.
Mireya looked at the back of his head and said stubbornly, “No need. We’re not close, so I don’t need you to send me back.”
“Mireya…” Patrick’s low voice was tinged with a touch of embarrassment. “It’s been so many years. Even if we broke up, we don’t have to be enemies. We’re still schoolmates, at least. Why do you… have to be like this?”
Why did she have to be like this?
Mireya was a little bitter. Why was she like what?
Patrick’s place in her heart was different from Rodney’s.
The former was a man she loved deeply and later hated and was disappointed with. Even if they broke up and she no longer loved him, her heart could not be completely indifferent.
He could reignite her emotions with a casual remark.
Especially with her current pregnancy, she lived in a depressing and unhappy state.
“Patrick Jackson, I don’t want to see you. I get disgusted every time I see you, so I don’t want to sit in your car, understand?” Mireya said bluntly.
If Linda had not tipped Rosabella off about Mireya getting the paternity test done in Melbourne, Rosabella would not have noticed, and Charity would not have been framed.
In these three years, how many times had she hated Linda? How many times had she hated herself for having loved this man?
” I’ m disgusting?” Patrick’s arm trembled.” How many times do you want me to say it? When I was with you, there really was nothing between Linda and me. Mireya, if you weren’t so stubborn back then, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“So what if we ended up like this? I’m quite happy now, ” Mireya said coldly.
“Mireya, other people might not know, but I get you. You’re not the kind of person who’s greedy for power and wealth. The Lynch family is good, and the conditions they created for you from childhood made it so you never lacked material things.
Everyone envied that you became the Prime Minister’s goddaughter, but I think that’s not what you wanted. It only happened because the Snow family owes you, because Rodney wanted to be with Sarah.”
Patrick’s words were full of regret, but they hit the nail on the head.
Mireya’s body tensed in embarrassment.
What was more embarrassing than trying to keep herself bright and beautiful, but getting pried open by the man she once abandoned?
“Mireya, you shouldn’t have come to Canberra in the first place, ” Patrick’s tone was bitter.
Mireya closed her eyes.
Should she not have come to Canberra?
No, she did not regret it. Despite having experienced so much, if she had not been here, Cate would have faced so many things alone. How helpless and desperate would Cate be?
Fortunately, she was there. In those three years abroad, while begrudging her life at that point of time, she drove her career to its peak out of spite.
“You’re wrong. I don’t regret it. I don’t want to be that stupid woman from three years ago that had no dream and no ambition in Melbourne, and only knew how to wait by your side foolishly.”
“Mireya, you still haven’t let go of the past…” Patrick spoke with a little tremor in his voice.
Why else would she still be resenting the past?
It was because she could not let go. That was why she could not take things lightly.
That was Patrick’s perception.
“President Jackson, if you want to send me back, please stop talking. If you didn’t keep driving, I would’ve gotten out a long time ago.” Mireya was extremely annoyed.
Why was she so unlucky today? First, she argued with Rodney, then she argued with Chester. After finally leaving, she encountered Patrick instead.
Patrick’s neat eyebrows frowned tightly. He wanted to say something, but was afraid that he might really drive her out of the car.
He subconsciously drove slower.
Then, his phone rang. It was from Linda.
In his panic, he subconsciously muted it and threw it aside.
“If you don’t answer, aren’t you afraid your dear Linda would assume nonsense?” Mireya mocked with a smile.
“No, it was from the insurance company. ” Patrick lied and denied it.
Mireya could not be bothered to expose him.
As they arrived at the entrance of Brighton Gardens, she got out straight away.
