Overflow With Fake Love

Chapter 48: Time Or a New Love 

She hated Amy! She hated her for keeping her past a secret! She hated her for realizing her dream first and for her superior life now! She was reluctant to accept that Amy had a bright future even though they were both of humble origin.

She was filled with resentment that she was not lucky and talented, and that she took sick before she could succeed! Apart from hatred, she didn't know how to vent her unwillingness! Now it was time for her to let Amy know about her.

Anyway, they would meet sooner or later.

Amy came to see her the next afternoon.

The ward was snow-white.

She opened the door and saw Selma lying on the bed.

Selma looked at her with a smile.

"Amy, it's been a while," she said.

She looked harmless, making it easier for people to take off their guard.

She was like a pure and flawless snowflake.

Amy sat down beside the bed.

She had heard that Selma had been in the hospital, but she had no intention of visiting her.

Because of the secret, they cut off all contact.

"Yes.I didn't see you at the graduation ceremony,’ replied Amy.

Selma said bleakly, "Because of my current condition, I've already applied for a year's delay in graduation.I haven't congratulated you and Vera yet.Happy graduation.’ Amy's eyes deepened as she spoke of Vera.

Her lips parted and she still did not say anything about the grudge between her and Vera.

"I'm going to be discharged in a few days.I haven't been shopping for a long time.Can you be with me? You're the only friend I have in Imperial City."

Because of physical reasons, Selma was almost completely out of touch with her former friends.

Amy nodded.

She couldn't refuse her former roommate's request.

They sat there for a while.

Selma suddenly coughed, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the corner of her mouth calmly.

"Is Judith going to get out of prison?" she asked.

Judith could be counted as Amy's bosom friend was one.

She had been looking forward to her release.

She still remembered that Judith gave up at a critical moment and volunteered to go to jail when she was about to win the lawsuit.

Amy could tell that it was more or less related to a man.

Judith planned to spend three years in prison and completely forget about him.

It only needed two things to forget a person, namely time and anew lover.

Judith chase the former, and that man soon found anew girlfriend.

"Yes, soon."

She sighed, and couldn't help being excited at the thought that she was going to see Judith.

In court, Judith Nam gave up the chance to win and refused to be visited by her all these years.

She wondered how she would be after she was released from prison.

It was already 8 pm when she left the hospital.

It was raining heavily outside.

Amy held her bag above her head.

She wanted to hail a taxi, but no taxi was willing to stop on a rainy night.

She could only walk to the eaves to seek shelter from the rain.

"Boom!"

Thunder boomed in the sky overhead, and the sidewalks were bustling with people who ran for cover.

Amy walked to a five-star hotel, and she saw Paul coming out with a woman.

The woman looked elegant.

She kept talking to him, taking a Hermes purse in her hand with her nails varnished with a light orange nail polish.

Her skin was snow-white, her hair was loose, and a few strands of hair were pinned behind her ears.

Amy wondered what was her relationship with Paul.

Was she a female confidant of him? Thinking of this, she shook her head.

Paul didn't seem to have confidant.She hid in the crowd in case not to disturb them.

That woman probably loved Paul very much as she looked at him with affection in her eyes, but there was a trace of forbearance in her eyes, but she did not know why.

When they walked over, Amy looked away as if they were strangers.

Paul stopped beside her and his eyes fell on her head.

She stiffened and walked a little further inside.

"Go home.Where are you going?"

His voice was very faint and soft, which was not heard by the woman standing not far away.

She was wondering about Amy's relationship with Paul.

She didn't know the man's name yet.

She had seen him a few times before, and fate let her see him in many places.

Meeting him in the elevator today, she finally mustered up the courage to talk to him.

Despite his cold attitude, she was very happy to be so close to him.

She had never seen him in the upper class.

She had asked a lot of people and no one knew his identity.

So who was he? But it seemed impolite to ask him about his identity, so she kept it to herself, only to see him walking towards another woman.

She found the woman familiar, but she forgot where she had seen her before.

Amy lowered her head.

She looked around and found that Paul was talking to her.

"Will I delay your date?" Paul said, pursing his lips, "It's not a date."

"Oh"

His words didn't convince Amy.

But she didn't ask further as it had nothing to do with her.

She followed behind him and did not greet the woman, because she didn't seem so friendly, especially the way she looked at Amy.

So Amy simply ignored her.

"Hello."I'm Winnie Mellis."

Winnie reached out her hand.

Amy's mind was racing.

In her memory, Winnie was Paul's childhood sweetheart.

But she didn't know why he acted like he didn't know Winnie at all.

"Hello."

Without introducing herself, Amy gave her a gentle handshake.

Winnie, who had been quietly observing Amy, found her good-looking, with a cold and calm temperament.

They walked to the gate.

It was still raining heavily.

Two waiters came over with umbrellas and stopped in front of Paul and Winnie.

Winnie looked at Paul and said, "I hope we can meet again next time."

Paul responded to her with merely a nod.

Amy was confused.

Winnie was the chosen granddaughter-in- law of Mrs.Howard.Why did she not seem to know Paul at this moment?

"Does Miss Mellis not know that you are Paul?" She asked, looking at Paul.

Paul nodded.

"Probably:"

"Didn't Mrs.Howard say that she had been thinking about you?"

Amy found it hard to believe that Winnie failed to recognize the man whom she had been thinking of for years.

"She's thinking about Paul when he was a child."

"But she seems to like you very much now, even if she doesn't know that you are Paul." Amy sighed.

Miss Mellis was indeed the girl that the Howard Family had taken a fancy to.

Even if she didn't know Paul's appearance, she fell in love with him again, just like an idol drama.

"What she loves now is my face." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Paul's analysis hit the nail on the head.

He and Amy were already in the car, and the door was closed.

Amy looked at the man suspiciously.

Winnie was very beautiful, elegant, and dignified.

It was obvious that she was from the upper class.

She couldn't believe that he had no feelings for her at all, even if he knew she had been in love with him.If that was the case, how could he be moved?

"Honey, Miss Mellis had a crush on you when she was a child.Now that she doesn't know who you are, she falls in love with you again.Could she be the woman who will be with you for the rest of your life?"

Paul glanced at her, giving her a mocking smile as he listened to the rain splashing on the window.

"Amy, love is not pure for people in big families.If I weren't for Paul, she wouldn't have liked me when I was a child.If I hadn't been so good-looking, she wouldn't have paid attention to me now.Winnie is no ordinary girl.She knows what kind of man she is going to marry."
