The Substitute Bride Is Reborn and Loves Her Husband No more - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Connection sent to her

Zara couldn’t stop herself from getting curious and asked with concern as she got up from her chair to sit next to Rose.

“Come on, girl, what happened? Tell me,” she urged Rose with a playful smile. It was meant to lighten the atmosphere, even though it seemed so cold.

Rose sighed, finally turning her head to look at Zara.

“It’s Rolan,” she began, observing the curious expression on Zara’s face. “He asked me out for coffee, and I went with him…”

“Well, I have nothing to say to you… This is totally not smart of you. Do you even know what you’re doing, Rose?”

Rose silently fumbled with her hands as Zara scolded her. Zara’s voice was loud, almost as if she was ready to yell.

Rose wanted to defend herself. She believed she wasn’t at fault.

“Rolan kidnapped me to have coffee with him, not the other way around where I went willingly,” Rose said, thinking to herself that, yes, Rolan had indeed kidnapped her. But truthfully, she hadn’t resisted much.

Zara shook her head, her expression a sneer. Rose knew what was coming and braced herself for another scolding.

“Wow, just wow. He kidnapped you? I totally believe you, ma’am,” Zara said sarcastically, as expected.

Rose bit her lip, hiding her face in a pillow out of embarrassment. What she had said wasn’t a lie, but Zara wouldn’t believe her when her body language betrayed her words.

Zara seemed to calm down and immediately asked, “So, you went out to have coffee with him. What happened next?”

Rose didn’t know how to respond. She turned her face away, but when her gaze met Zara’s again, she finally spoke.

“We were having coffee, and then Jennifer came.”

“Oh, is that so?” Zara reacted with mock shock on her face. Her expression was sarcastic, as if questioning Rose about what she had expected. After all, Rolan had never loved her but had always been in love with her sister.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Rose mumbled, unable to endure Zara’s piercing gaze any longer.

She hated being reminded of her mistakes, even though she was the one who had told Zara to always point out her bad decisions and scold her. Zara was doing the job well, perhaps too well, and seemed to have gotten addicted to it.

Zara sighed after a long silence and suddenly pinched Rose’s arm. Rose gasped.

“Let me guess what happened. Jennifer started doing stuff with Rolan right in front of you, and you decided to leave. Am I right?”

Rose nodded subconsciously, rubbing the spot Zara had pinched. She had no words to defend herself. Zara was her friend, her confidant, almost like a second mother, though much younger.

“How are your plans for your movie company?” Zara changed the topic, walking to the freezer to grab some ice cream.

“It’s going well,” Rose mumbled with a barely noticeable nod.

“Come on, say more!” Zara urged, sitting beside her on the couch.

“My dad said he would get me in contact with someone to help with the movie company,” Rose explained, glancing at her phone to see if there were any new messages or contacts.

Zara nodded, licking her ice cream, and handed Rose a bowl of her own. Rose accepted it with a small nod.

“So, have you received any contacts yet?” Zara asked, circling back to the topic.

“No, I haven’t,” Rose replied. Just as she spoke, her phone buzzed with a notification, drawing her attention.

She swiped her finger across the screen and scrolled through the messages. A new text from her dad popped up.

“It’s from my dad!” Rose squealed, almost dropping her ice cream.

Zara reacted with equal excitement, though she looked startled at first.

“What does the message say?” Zara asked, urging Rose to read it quickly.

Rose nodded eagerly, her smile widening. She opened the text and read it aloud.

[Number: 029688855

Kelvin Klein]

Rose furrowed her brows.

“Who’s this? Is this the contact Dad mentioned?”

Zara signaled for Rose to show her the message. Rose immediately handed over the phone.

After reading through it, Zara screamed.

“Oh my god!”

“Why are you so excited?” Rose looked at Zara with confusion. She should be the one getting all excited, but Zara was the one looking very happy.

Zara calmed her heart down, breathing in and breathing out, and she turned to Rose, explaining,

“Kelvin Klein. He’s the biggest movie producer and all. The youngest entrepreneur. I wish I was successful at his age as he is.”

Rose couldn’t help but roll her eyes, placing her hand on Zara’s forehead slightly.

“Sorry, are you okay? Am I wrong? Are you not in your twenties?”

“Tsk. I’m just exaggerating, girl,” Zara sighed, gently removing Rose’s hand from her forehead.

“So it seems he’s the connection that your father said he would give you.”

“Yes, I guess he is… Because if not, why would he send me his number?”

Rose wasn’t so sure in her heart, but it was what had happened. In her heart, she was secretly happy. She was getting closer to her dreams. She was so excited, and she couldn’t share it out loud with Zara.

“Are you going to call him?” Zara asked.

“No, not now,” Rose frowned, shaking her head. She wanted to just go to Tobi’s school and get him. His school would have closed by now, so their stuff wasn’t important to her.

…

Tobi ran with his short legs to Rose, who was standing at the school gate watching children coming from school, while some waited for their parents to come pick them up.

Tobi looked at Rose with big, cute eyes when he had gotten close to his mummy. School was not so much fun since his mummy was not there, and he had no friends to play with.

The other kids at school still did not play with him because he was too small.

He had always cried and not told his mummy the rest of the things that the kids at school said to him, because Darius said that it wasn’t a problem.
