Chapter 45: Disgusting? Don’t care!

"Woah! I mean... Wow!!!! That’s amazing. That is the best news I have heard in a long time. Thank you, Faye. Thank you so much. You are the best. Muah." In her excitement, Helena even hugged Faye and also planted a couple of kisses on her cheek.

From how her eyes shone and how she was jumping in her spot, one could see how excited she was by the news.

"Eww!! What are you doing? Get off me. Disgusting~" Faye pushed Helena away and started to rub her cheek roughly to get rid of Helena’s lipstick.

Just a second ago, she said that she hated this woman and now she was covered in lip prints of the same woman. How could she not be disgusted?

But Helena did not care at all. She grinned, seemingly too happy to care.

She held both of Faye’s shoulders and asked again to be sure, "You are telling me the truth, right? You really are dating Leon? I won’t let you off if you lie to me."

Faye pouted and pushed her hands away, "What do I get by lying to you? I really am dating Leon. So stay far away from him. Do you understand? Or I won’t let you off."

"Sure. Sure. I will stay as far away from him as possible. You should also keep him as far away from me as possible. You should love him to death, okay? He should be smothered in your love. He shouldn’t have the time to turn his head away from you. That’s how much you should love Leon."

"Huh?" Faye was in a daze for a second before she scoffed and took a step away from Helena. She looked at her like she had gone crazy and shouted at her, "Why do you care? You seem to care more about Leon than Vernon. Why do you care if Leon is loved by me or not? You should be busy loving Vernon instead. Are you trying to cheat on Vernon with Leon? Let me tell you, I won’t let you do it. If you hurt Vernon, I won’t let you off."

"Why would I hurt Vernon? Also, why would I cheat on Vernon with Leon? Did you look at Vernon and Leon? When I have Vernon as my husband, will I even look at Leon? Do you think I am blind?" Helena asked in disgust.

She couldn’t help it. The disgust she felt for the ’creepy’ Leon was absorbed so deep into her bones that the mere mention of him would show her disgust on her face.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, Faye nodded. "You are right, indeed. You had already stolen Vernon from me. With Vernon, only blind people will look at Leon."

"Hey. Mind your words, will you? When did I steal Vernon from you? We were engaged even before we met you, okay?"

"Ehem."

"Ehem."

As they were talking, the two women heard two men coughing from the side and looked at them.

"What are you both talking about?"

"Helena, you came to my party? Is this real?"

The two men asked at the same time.

Obviously, the first man was Vernon, and the second man was none other than the birthday boy, Leon.

With how Leon’s face was flushed, it was clear that he had heard the women’s conversation. Despite being ridiculed by both his crush and girlfriend, he couldn’t control his excitement about Helena’s presence at his party.

Helena blinked her eyes. She did not expect to see Leon suddenly.

Her subconscious reaction was to hide from his excited face. She was closer to Faye at that time.

So she pulled Faye and placed her between her and Leon. She then slowly peeked her head from behind Faye as she smiled with no sincerity whatsoever and said, "Hey, Leon. Happy Birthday."

"Tha... Tha... Tha..." Leon stuttered and couldn’t finish his sentence at all.

Then, just like that, with a bright smile etched onto his face, he fell to the ground with a hand on his chest.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Not just the three people with him, but everyone around saw that and were speechless.

Just how excited was this youngster to get a birthday wish that he fainted from happiness?

"Leon!!" Faye screamed and bent over to check on him. She slapped him a couple of times on his face, and just like that, he woke up.

With his cheeks red and slightly swollen from the strong slaps, Leon looked at Helena and smiled.

No.

He grinned.

With all his teeth showing.

Scary and creepy!!

Helena shuddered at the sight.

Faye was no longer obstructing her from Leon, and Helena felt exposed.

This time, she grabbed Vernon’s hand and pulled him to make him stand in the middle.

"Did you get sponsored by some toothpaste commercial recently?" She blurted out her thoughts under her breath.

"No. Why do you ask?" Leon asked in confusion.

Helena blinked her eyes. She did not think this man could hear her question.

She completely forgot that even if she was a few miles away from him, Leon could still somehow be able to see her and hear her.

Her lips twitched, and she shook her head, "Nothing."

Vernon understood her thoughts and wanted to laugh. But he knew it wasn’t suitable for him to laugh and stopped himself by covering it up with a fake cough.

"Vernon, did you see her? Even with you by her side, she still wants to flirt with Leon." Faye spoke suddenly, with her voice as coy as she could.

Vernon got goosebumps all over from her sickeningly sweet voice.

Faye did not notice how he shuddered and continued to speak, "I know that you were forced to marry her by your elders. You have suffered greatly because of this marriage."

She looked at him with pity, and Vernon frowned. He took a step backwards, away from her. Behind him, Helena was hiding and thus he bumped into her.

Just like that, he was now in his wife’s arms.
