Secrets Of The Sullivan Sisters

Chapter 7

“But, Uncle Nathan, we’re not there yet,” Jacob protested meekly.

“What? Are your legs broken or something? Walk the rest of the way!”

Jacob could not find the words to retort. He was actually terrified of Nathan.

Letting go of Caroline, he muttered, “I’ll see you tomorrow, Scary Cary. We’ll go on a date.” Then, he

addressed Nathan warily, “See you, Uncle Nathan.”

The moment Jacob got out of the car and closed the door behind him, Nathan stepped on the gas

pedal and sped off.

They were the only ones left in the car now. Nathan did not say anything. throughout the drive, and

Caroline sat stiffly in the backseat.

About 15 minutes later, the Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Royal Garden.

Nathan got out of the car, and Caroline followed him. When he finally spoke again, his voice came out

low and husky. “Don’t get too close to my nephew.”

Caroline looked up at him in surprise, but his imposing silhouette had already disappeared through the

entrance of Royal Garden.

“He must think I was the one who wrote that love letter. Does he actually believe that I’m some harlot

who would go around pining after random guys?” Caroline wondered, lowering her gaze.

After going through the work documents in his study, Nathan retreated to his room. He lay in bed, but

for some reason, sleep would not come.

The fragrance on the bed had completely disappeared. He could not fall asleep. without it.

Nathan pinched the space between his brows in frustration, and then dialed a number. “Haye Mrs.

Faraday come upstairs.”

Downstairs, when Shirley heard that Nathan had summoned her, she practically leaped up in joy. She

quickly found Caroline and exclaimed, “Caroline! My husband has asked for me! I’ll be sharing a bed

with him tonight!”

“Congratulations,” Caroline said expressionlessly.

“Hurry up and run my bath!”

After taking a bath, Shirley took out a bottle of branded perfume. The thought of

Nathan’s handsome face and his seductive figure comparable to that of a world- famous male model

made her feel like she was burning with desire.

She couldn’t wait any longer.

“Caroline, aren’t you jealous of me? Remember, you’re just a cheap replacement, while I’m the real

Mrs. Faraday!” After saying that, Shirley left arrogantly

By the time she entered the master bedroom; Nathan had already woken up and was standing in front

of the floor-to-ceiling window. “Honey, I’m here.” Shirley threw herself at him.

Nathan had been waiting for Shirley with anticipation for her scent, but when she rushed over, he

caught onto a pungent fragrance. The scent of roses that wafted up his nose was very tacky.

Peeved, Nathan immediately pushed her away. “What’s that smell on you? Why do you smell different

from when we were in bed together?”

Shirley froze and thought, “Why is he saying that I smell different from when we were in bed? I’ve never

fallen asleep in this bed before. Caroline did. Is he attracted to Caroline’s scent?”

Nathan narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, “Was it someone else who slept. on this bed?”

“Oh, my Go d, he’s going to find out,” Shirley exclaimed inwardly.

“It was me, Honey, it was me. I just took a shower with flower petals and that, covered up my original

scent…” she explained.

“What are you waiting for, then? Go take a shower. I want you to smell like before, or this marriage is

over!”

you did

“Okay.” Shirley could sense that he was in a bad mood today and didn’t know who provoked him, so

she hurried out without hesitation.

Caroline was about to go to bed when she saw Shirley walking in with a gloomy. expression. “Shirley,

why are you here again? Did Nathan kick you out?”

“Caroline, go and sleep with my husband tonight!”

“What? Shirley is asking me to sleep with Nathan again?” At that thought, Caroline. refused

immediately. “I’m not going.”

Shirley clenched her fist with jealousy in her eyes. “Does she think that I want this?

Wed, 31

I don’t want this at all,” Shirley roared inwardly, “but I have no choice. Nathan wants her scent, and if

she doesn’t go in and sleep with him, he will find out the truth. I don’t want to lose my position as Mrs.

Faraday.”

Shirley took out her phone and played a video while asking, “Caroline, what do you think this is?”

Caroline looked up immediately and saw her grandmother, Nora, in the video. Nora was lying on the

bed in a hospital gown. It had been so long since they saw. one another. Nora’s hair had turned silvery

white, and she was emaciated.

With an oxygen mask on her face, Nora was calling out for Caroline in a soft voice, “Carol… Carol…

“Caroline, are you going or not? If you refuse to go, I will ask someone to pull out Nora’s oxygen mask

right now. By the way, Nora misses you dearly. She is probably worried that others will bully you and

calls out for you daily.”

Tears welled in Caroline’s eyes as she stared at Shirley coldly and said, “Okay, I’ll go.”

“Caroline, I’m only asking you to sleep next to my husband, so you can’t let him touch you. Also, you

must come out of the room before six o’clock tomorrow morning. Not one minute late!”

Shirley gritted her teeth with hatred. “I was supposed to spend a wonderful night. with Nathan, and now

I have to hand that opportunity to this cheap woman,” she thought.

Alas, time was running out. She had to get past the night first and try to think of another way to trick

Nathan another day.

Caroline agreed, “Okay.”

“Hurry up and put on some makeup to cover that scar on your face. You’ll scare my husband if you look

that ugly!”

Shirley felt much better when she saw the scar on Caroline’s face and walked out. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

After that, Caroline sat in front of the dresser, but instead of covering the scar on her face with makeup,

she picked up a bottle of makeup remover and slowly removed the drawn scar to reveal the beautiful

face hidden underneath it.
