I’m Someone Else

Chapter 43

The person who called out was none other than Felice’s father, Philip. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Thomas, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be serving the military?” Excited to see Thomas, Philip took a seat beside them.

Years ago, when Felice’s mother was ill, there wasn’t any way for the family to pay for the medical bills as the restaurant they were in now was still a small one. It was thanks to Thomas’ financial support that the restaurant managed to survive the family’s ordeal and existed until now. Furthermore, the support continued for another eight years. Hence, it could be said that without Thomas, it would have been impossible for Philip’s wife to be as healthy as she was right now. After all, the expenses of postoperative care also required an extensive amount.

“I’ve fulfilled my term, Mr. Lott,” Thomas replied. He always thought of Philip as a good man as he had good impressions of him. His daughter on the other hand… No, forget it.

Puzzled, Molly looked at Thomas first before directing her eyes to Philip and thought, Do they know each other? Since she was a patron of the restaurant, she knew that the man who came over was the owner. What she found strange was that Thomas was acquainted with the owner. Then, after a brief moment of thought, she remembered that Thomas was also a student of Irieson First High School and assumed that he frequented the restaurant back when he was a student.

“Thomas, my boy! Why aren’t you with Felice right now? She didn’t come along?” Having said that, Philip instinctively glanced at Molly and thought that she wasn’t lacking in the looks department when compared to his daughter. Could it be that Thomas had fallen for another woman? Impossible! Thomas is a good man. He wouldn’t do such a thing!

“Er…” Thomas hesitated. “About that, I’ll explain it to you when the opportunity arises.”

Upon hearing Felice’s name, Thomas quickly ended the topic and hung his head to eat with Molly. He didn’t want to speak or hear the woman’s name ever again as he couldn’t help feeling disgusted at the mention of it. God dammit.

Naturally, Philip noticed Thomas’ unnatural behavior, so he only said his greetings before he left to handle the restaurant. Strange. With how long they’ve been together now, why isn’t she by his side when he has finally completed his term? Something doesn’t add up. Then, he went to a secluded corner of the kitchen and called his daughter on his phone. “Hello, Felice?”

“Dad? What’s wrong?” Felice answered.

“Felice, where are you right now?”

“Outside. Is something the matter?” Right now, she was in a certain ward in the hospital. To be precise, she was snuggled in the arms of a stranger with a delicate blush on her face.

“Felice, just be mine. If you’re mine, I’ll give you a life of abundance. Just look at your sorry excuse of a man, disabled and vanilla. Can he even satisfy you in bed?” The man was dressed in branded clothing. Just the watch on his wrist was worth hundreds of thousands. From a glance, it was clear that the man was a wealthy one. Then, the man’s hands roamed unscrupulously at Felice’s body, which aroused Felice.

“H-Hey, stop that. I’m talking to my dad right now…” Felice said with a pout as she covered the phone with one hand. Such a naughty boy, even more so than Walt. To think that he’s trying to do this right now. If my dad were to know about this, how would I ever face him?

“Heh, that’s just how I want it. It’s thrilling, don’t you think? Do you hate it?” The man laughed lecherously as his hands continued to ravage her body. He didn’t care that much and was convinced that Felice was the same. After all, if she was a decent woman, she wouldn’t have made out with him

right in front of her boyfriend, even if the said boyfriend had become a cripple. With a sl*t like you, this is the only way to do it!

“Felice, what are you doing? Why do I hear a man’s voice?” Philip felt something was wrong the more he talked with his daughter, especially since Felice’s voice sounded like she was moaning. Adding to the fact that there was a man’s voice in the background, he couldn’t help but come to an assumption. However, he couldn’t believe himself as the girl in his memories was never such a person.

“No, you must be hearing things!” Felice was startled upon hearing her father’s voice. “Dad, I still have some work to do, so I’ll have to go.” At that, she quickly ended the call.

“Hello? Felice, you—”

Before Philip could say anything more, the call had been disconnected. Helpless, he could only suppress his curiosity and wait until his daughter came back to talk to her. Since the restaurant was busy right now, it wasn’t the appropriate time for him to stew in such thoughts either.

Meanwhile, Thomas had clearly lost his appetite after meeting Philip. He couldn’t deny that he was so disgusted with just a mention of that woman’s name that he lost his appetite.

For someone as smart as Molly, how could she not notice Thomas’ feelings? When she noticed Thomas had stopped eating, she said, “Thomas, how about we end it here today and get together some other day?”

“Sure,” Thomas immediately replied. “It’s my treat next time.” He couldn’t wait to hurry out of the place.

And so, after Molly had gone to the counter to settle the bill, the two of them left.

“Thomas!” Before the two could leave the place, Philip jogged over with a large bag of food in his hand. “Thomas, these are your favorites back then. Look, there are some pulled pork pastry puffs and

sausages in here. Take them with you.”

Philip could tell that Thomas grew uncomfortable at the mention of his daughter’s name, so he suspected that the two of them had broken up.

After taking a glance at the bag in Philip’s hand, Thomas noticed that it was indeed filled with all of his favorite snacks. Alas, all those now only belonged in the distant past. “Mr. Lott, you don’t have to. You should hurry back to work now.” Thomas didn’t accept the bag and left the place with Molly. Philip was indeed a good man, but it was difficult for Thomas to see him and not be reminded of what Felice had done.

“Thomas…” Philip wanted to go after him, but after seeing that the two of them had walked quite a distance away, he could only give up on the notion. He knew he had to talk to his daughter tonight no matter what it took. He had to find out just what was going on between them, as he couldn’t bear to lose such an outstanding man as his son-in-law.

After Thomas had driven Molly back home, he returned to the rental house. Noticing that Chloe wasn’t around, he assumed that she must have gone to the hospital to take care of her father. That Chloe sure has it rough too, he thought.

In a certain ward in the hospital, Walt was lying on the bed while gagged with a pair of pink panties. The owner of the panties was none other than his girlfriend—Felice Lott. As his chest heaved violently, he wanted to scream but couldn’t do so. Hence, he could only stare viciously at the shameless couple before him.

“Ah! Damian, stop it… you’re so naughty!”
