Chapter 770

Brenda said gently, "It's easy to have conflicts when preparing for a wedding. It's normal. Just be more accommodating to Hera. She's put a lot of thought into this wedding."

"You know very well that our problems aren't about this wedding," Anthony sighed, finally dropping his hostility in front of Brenda.

"Mom, I really don't understand why we should get married when we're just torturing each other. Are other people's opinions and dignity really more important than whether the marriage is happy or not? I can't agree with that," Anthony shook his head.

"Do you and Hera really have such big conflicts? She's a good girl."

"I know she's good, but that was before. Now our conflicts have reached a point where we can't stand each other. It's like we're enemies. Tell me, how can we get married like this? Will our daily life be just torturing each other and hurting each other with harsh words?"

He continued, "I want to cancel the wedding, but she insists... she's too stubborn."

"Women are generally not as rational as men, and besides, she really loves you."

"Loves me? She can't even hate me enough right now," Anthony shook his head with a bitter smile. "Mom, the one I love isn't her, it's another girl."

"Does she love you?"

Anthony was silent for a long time before finally saying helplessly, "She already has a boyfriend."

"So, she gave up on your relationship and chose someone else?"

"Yes," Anthony replied, lowering his head.

"Do you want to win her back?" Brenda asked again.

Anthony shook his head, "I can't do that. I just want her to be happy."

"In that case, you should pull yourself together. The more you invest, the more it hurts, Anthony," Brenda said earnestly.

"For me, the most important thing isn't what others think, but your happiness. If you want to cancel the wedding, I will definitely support you. Just... think it through. Your dad also likes Hera... Of course, I'm not saying you should marry her for his sake, just..."

Brenda continued, "You're more rational than I am, and you consider things more comprehensively. I won't say much more. I just want to tell you that marriage is very long. If you think it's torture, it won't be happy in the future. Better a short pain than a long one. Make a decision soon."

"Okay..."

The Cooper family mansion.

"Home is always more comfortable," Aaron felt much better as soon as he got home.

Juniper placed a thin blanket over his knees, "Be careful not to catch a cold with the air conditioning on."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Juniper was puzzled.

"You've matured a lot in these three months," Aaron said with mixed emotions.

"Maybe it's the hardships of society, making me realize life isn't easy."

It was just a joke, but Aaron felt heartbroken, "Have you suffered a lot outside?"

"Not really, just that work is a bit tough, and I'm more frugal than before, but that's a good thing."

"A good thing? I think you're just finding a way to complain and ask for money," Elara said coolly.

'This bitch is smart, pretending to be pitiful,' she thought.

"You're too narrow-minded. Juniper didn't mean that at all. What's your motive for saying that?"

"Narrow-minded? I'm just stating her true intentions. What's wrong with that?" Elara rolled her eyes. "Don't forget how she used to argue with you? Meeting like enemies."

"In just three months, she's like a different person. Do you think that's possible? She's just after the money, trying to please you to get a bigger share of the inheritance!"

"My money is meant for Juniper anyway. Whether she pleases me or not, it's the same."

"That's not the point. Haven't you seen the news? People who don't care about their parents, but when it's time to divide the inheritance, they all crowd around the sickbed pretending to be filial. Can't you see through such a simple trick?"

"You're the one always talking about money," Juniper couldn't stand Elara's annoying mouth. Every time she spoke, Juniper wanted to shut her up.

How could there be such an annoying woman?

"I'm just straightforward, unlike you with all your tricks. Clearly after money, but talking so nicely. How hypocritical," Elara sneered.

Aaron coldly said, "Stop causing trouble and leave."

"Now you two are all fatherly and daughterly, and I'm the one talking too much, huh?"

"If you can't speak properly, learn to shut up!"

"I..."

"Mom, what are you arguing about again?" Saffron walked in with Douglas.

She held him tightly, as if afraid he would run away. But that was the truth; she was indeed afraid.

Douglas couldn't hide his amazement when he saw Juniper.

Juniper looked even more beautiful after a few months. In a red dress, she was as dazzling as a wild rose, radiant and stunning.

Douglas regretted giving in to Saffron's seduction and having a sex relationship with her.

Look at Saffron now, with her big belly and fat body, like a chubby penguin, so ugly.

"Juniper, you're back," Douglas's eyes were filled with greedy desire.

Saffron was extremely jealous.

"What does it matter to you if I'm back?" Juniper said coldly.

But this cold attitude didn't anger Douglas; he liked it even more. A rose with thorns, full of wildness, he liked it.

He wished he could pluck all her thorns and completely possess her!

The biggest regret and the thing he regretted most in his life was not having sex with Juniper!

'Damn it, I really missed out!' Douglas was furious.

He wondered if he would have a chance this time she came back.

Douglas was itching with desire, his mind already filled with dirty, filthy thoughts.

Juniper could feel the greasy lust in his eyes. If she hadn't eaten much at lunch, she would have thrown up.

But her disgusted reaction looked to Saffron like she was flirting with Douglas, messing around with her eyes.

'Damn slut,' Saffron thought. 'She says she looks down on Douglas, but the moment she comes back, she starts messing around right under my nose. It's disgusting!'

Saffron was panicking, instinctively holding tighter, but Douglas pulled his hand away and complained, "Why are you holding so tight? My arm is about to break."

"I..." Saffron was furious. Douglas was getting more and more annoyed with her. Ever since she gained weight, he never came to her.

Every time she contacted him, he used work as an excuse, but she knew he was just a lazy, idle playboy.

The detective she hired told her that Douglas never went to the office, slept during the day, and partied at bars at night, living a life of debauchery.

How could Saffron not be angry?

She was pregnant and alone at home every night, feeling nauseous and unable to sleep, while Douglas was out playing with women.

She was about to explode with anger.
