President's Substitute Wife

Our happiness was always as fleeting as a meteor.

And the paintings I drew for him.

Sean looked so good on each one.

Did I have no chance to draw him again?

My mood was very complicated.

While I was packing, Daisy came back from the company. She saw things at home and frowned, “does Sean really want to break up with you?”

“Yes.”

I wanted to get married before, but he refused. He may have been thinking about how to end the relationship.

Daisy didn’t go on because she saw that I wasn’t happy. She put her arms around my neck and said, “forget it. You cleaned the house for me. He doesn’t love you but I love you. Tell me what you want to eat at night. It’s my treat. It’s a reward for helping me clean my house.”

“No...”

“Don’t refuse me. I will go abroad again in less than half a month. I’ll be busy during Christmas. Foreign food is too bad. You can eat with me.”

Daisy interrupted me as soon as she knew I was going to refuse.

“OK.”

I promised her.

“Daisy, I heard that you and June were the only two people for your birthday, so I chose a special place today. I prepared a cake for you. Can I celebrate another birthday for you?”

Jack over the phone was very attentive.

“No.” Daisy refused directly.

“I’ve made a reservation.” Jack often said that.

Daisy wanted to say no, but she glanced at me and said, “Okay, call Sean.”
