Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets by Dolly Molly

Chapter 577 The Way He Looks at You Could Make Anyone Feel Envious

Aletta attentively listened to the reasoning and calmly analyzed the situation.

“I think Ray has a point. You do need to consider your feelings clearly. It’s often said that whoever falls in love first

loses. And it’s evident that Ray developed feelings for you first and seemed prepared to commit fully. However,

when it comes to you, you are ready to withdraw at any moment. Which creates a significant disparity. Your

relationship started quite hastily, and Ray is willing to give you time. But the condition is that you are ready to

commit your emotions.”

Talking about this, Aletta was indeed surprised.

Flora was the type who dared to love and hate.

She was always able to pick herself up and let go.

But when it came to Ray, she unexpectedly seemed slow and indecisive.

What was the reason behind this?

At that moment, she couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing Aletta’s question, Flora’s tone became elusive. “I think it’s because he is too serious, and I’m afraid I

won’t be able to reciprocate his affection… And I think I never mentioned it before. But I had been in a relationship

before I met you.”

Aletta looked up in surprise.

She had indeed never heard about this before.

Flora’s gaze slowly drifted toward the window. As if lost in memories.

“At that time. I had just started university and was young. So, when I was involved in a relationship. I invested a lot.

However, the other person felt I was too conservative and cheated. He even spread some unfavorable rumors

about me, which caused me psychological trauma.”

She was truly afraid!

Aletta was genuinely astonished.

It seemed that this was the root of the issue.

However, it was clear that something extraordinary had happened. Otherwise, how could it have affected a

cheerful girl like Flora so deeply “Let’s not dwell on the past.”

Aletta raised her hand and soothingly patted Flora’s back. “However, we should always look forward. Those who

have hurt you in the past. do not necessarily represent those you will encounter in the future.”

Taking the perspective of a friend. Aletta felt that Ray was a great person.

However, she knew that she had to protect her best friend.

“Of course, when it comes to feelings. I can’t decide for you. After all, what you genuinely like and feel is right.

Whatever you choose, I will support you.”

Flora felt warmed.

She rested her head on Aletta’s shoulder and nodded. “I understand… Aletta. Last night, while waiting for Ray

outside his house, I thought about many things…

“I thought about how I would feel if Ray treated someone else well…

And I realized that I couldn’t accept that!”

“I don’t want him to hug and kiss someone else. I don’t want him to gently coax another woman. And I also don’t

want him to share a bed with someone else…”

Flora looked up at Aletta, seeking an answer. “You think… Do I like him?”

She wanted to be more serious about her feelings for Ray and not rush into anything!

Rarely seeing this silly side of Flora, Aletta couldn’t help but laugh.

She said, “What else could it be if not liking him? My silly Ms. Smith!

Just like me, if Jason is good to other women, I won’t be able to accept it! Because I like him… That’s why I couldn’t

let down what happened between him and Gail back then.”

Upon hearing this, Flora laughed. “Your Mr. Hill’s history is truly unforgettable! Thankfully, he didn’t have any

substantial involvement with Gail, and now he’s doting on you.”

With a slightly disgusted expression, Flora added, “The way he looks at you could make anyone feel envious. It’s

sickeningly sweet.”

Aletta smiled.

She felt relieved to see that Flora had figured things out herself. She changed the topic, saying, “Let’s not talk about

that anymore. Since you’ve sorted out your thoughts, that’s good. Right now, you’re sick and need to rest. Go inside

and get some sleep. I’ll take care of the paperwork in the afternoon.

Once you feel better, we can have a clear conversation with Ray.”

Flora nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Flora slowly got up from her seat, feeling dizzy and exhausted. After sitting in the car all night, her body was sore

and uncomfortable.

So, she gave her spot to Aletta. And she went into the resting room to get some rest.

Meanwhile, Aletta spent the entire afternoon in the office, dealing with paperwork.

Most of it involved material approvals and process reviews. Which only required her signature, so it wasn’t too

troublesome.

In the evening, it was time for Flora to take her medication, and Aletta ordered takeout in advance.

Aletta didn’t expect that when she went in, she found Flora’s cheeks flushed.

She quickly reached out and gently checked Flora’s temperature.

To her surprise, Flora’s fever had not subsided but worsened.

It was like a stove!

Aletta frowned and hurriedly woke her up.

Flora slowly opened her eyes, her mind still a bit foggy. “Aletta?”

Aletta said worriedly, “Your fever has gotten worse. Should we go to the research institute and get you an

injection?”

Flora shook her head, propping herself up and sitting up. Her voice was weak as she said, “I think it’s just a sudden

outbreak since I haven’t been sick for a long time. It’s fine, I have a strong immune system. I’ll take some medicine

and will be fine for sure…

She muttered, “When I get sick, it usually doesn’t last more than two days. I don’t want an injection.”

Aletta couldn’t help but laugh.

Already grown up, still afraid of injections!

Aletta nodded and said, “Alright, you have some porridge first. I specially ordered it for you, and I’ll go get your

medication.”

Flora nodded and held the porridge, taking small sips as she ate.

Being sick, her appetite wasn’t great. So, she only finished half of the bowl before setting it down.

Aletta didn’t force her to eat more.

Forcing her to eat when she had no appetite would only make her feel nauseous. So, Aletta reminded her to take

her medicine.

Later in the evening, Jason finished work and came to pick up Aletta.

Upon seeing Jason, Aletta said, “I’m going to stay at Flora’s house. tonight. She’s sick and has no one to take care

of her. And I’m concerned about her well-being.”

Jason raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, as he didn’t agree with the idea.

After all, Aletta hadn’t fully recovered and still needed someone to take care of her.

And besides…

“Isn’t this the time when a boyfriend should step in?”

Aletta paused and thought this made sense. She turned to Flora and asked, “Can we have Ray come and take care

of you? It’s a good opportunity to talk things out.”

After a few seconds of hesitation, Flora agreed, saying, “Can…”

She also wanted to see him!

Upon seeing this, Aletta quickly said to Jason, “Then you call Ray.”

Jason nodded and immediately dialed Ray’s number.

However, the call was answered by Marcie.

“Hello, Jason?”

Jason raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you the one answering? Where’s Ray?”

On the other end, Marcie’s voice came through with a tone of annoyance. “Forget it! That idiot stayed up all night

and got drunk. Ile’s still sleeping and hasn’t woken up yet…’

After venting her frustration, Marcie quickly changed the subject and asked, “Did you need something from him?”

Jason didn’t hold back and directly replied, “Flora is sick, and I wanted him to come and take care of her. But since

he’s still asleep, forget it.”

Upon hearing this, Marcie was concerned and anxiously asked, “Wait a minute! Do you say Flora is sick? Then what

are you waiting for, quickly bring her over. I’ll take care of her!”
