Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right

Tanya’s face went even paler, her already fair skin now almost ghostly. She gripped her juice glass, her hands shaking. “I’m sorry, I… I didn’t mean to.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She looked so fragile and pitiful that it seemed like I’d said something to hurt her feelings.

But I didn’t stop. Since I’d started, I might as well finish. “Maybe you didn’t mean to, but it has affected us. If it wasn’t on purpose, just be more mindful in

“If Desmond were still here, I would never trouble Jace,” Tanya said, tears streaming down her face again. She sure knew how to turn on the waterworks

Her words were cleverly chosen, leaving me at a disadvantage.

Tanya looked at me, her eyes shimmering. “I turn to Jace because Desmond entrusted him with that responsibility before he passed, and Jace agreed.”

Her hands kept rubbing the glass as she added, “If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t bother Jace.”

This was her way of excusing herself while subtly blaming me.

But we were all adults here. Who didn’t have a few tricks up their sleeve?

She could act pitiful and fragile; I could play the role of a saint. “Jace agreed to help you because your husband asked him to, but there should be some boundaries.

“Now that your husband is gone, people might start talking if they see you and Jace together all the time.

“It won’t bother Jace much, but for you, as a woman, rumors can be tough.

“And it would be even harder if your child heard those rumors, right?”

Tanya’s face darkened. “Keira, you say all this because you mind Jace taking care of me. Do you not trust him, or are you insecure about yourself?”

Her sharp retort was entirely out of character for her.

I looked at her and chuckled. Finally showing your true colors, huh? Not pretending anymore?

Before I could say anything, Tanya’s tears started falling again. “I’m sorry. If you’re still upset, you can hit me or scold me, but please don’t talk about my child.”

“Huh?” I hadn’t even mentioned her child.

Tanya stood up, her hand on her belly, looking every bit the expectant mother, and made to leave.

Jace took a big step forward and grabbed her, stopping her from leaving for the third time tonight. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at me, “R

At that moment, I understood why Tanya suddenly brought up the child. This melodramatic tactic, too clichéd even for TV dramas, was something she a

“What did I do?” Seeing the coldness in Jace’s eyes, I felt let down.

He blamed me without even asking what happened. Ten years together, and I was no match for Tanya’s tricks.

“Jace, don’t argue,” Tanya said, grabbing his arm. “It’s my fault. I know I trouble you a lot and take up your time. It’s my mistake…”

Her words weren’t meant to console but to make Jace even angrier.

“Jace, I’m sorry for disturbing you two,” Tanya added, pulling away from his hand and quickly running outside.

“Tanya!” Jace called out, ready to chase her.

I stopped him. “Jace, my clothes are stained.”

He glanced at his other hand and seemed to remember that I had my period.

In the next second, he placed the sanitary pads he bought for me on the table and took off his, jacket. “Rea, Tanya is pregnant and emotionally unstable

With that, he threw the jacket at me and was about to leave.

“Jace Johnston, if you go after her, then we are over.” My words made him stop.
