Chapter 127: Chapter 125

I felt something stuck in my throat as if something was surging up from my stomach. I tried hard to suppress the discomfort.

Seeing me motionless, Damon called out to me again, "Come on, let’s eat. Aren’t you hungry?"

Without replying. I quickly dashed toward the bathroom.

I tried to muffle my sounds, using the noise of flushing to cover up the sound of vomiting. It made me feel miserable.

When I came out of the bathroom, Damon was waiting for me at the door.

"Are you nuts? You even follow me to the bathroom?" I got a bit scared and pretended to yell at him.

Damon’s face instantly darkened, and he replied coldly. "Go eat. I’m leaving now"

I wanted him to leave as soon as possible, so I kept silent. As soon as he was out of sight, I tossed away the salmon he had cooked.

The rest of the dishes were to my liking, and I gobbled them all up.

After cleaning up the table, I went downstairs to throw away the trash.

"Oh, these cute love cookies. He’ll be so touched, right?" Suddenly, a voice came over. I turned and saw Ariel and Nicole, hand in hand, walking towards me.

Ariel was holding a lovely box that appeared to have pastries inside.

Nicole was complimenting Ariel, but their voices suddenly halted upon seeing me.

Ariel looked genuinely surprised. She probably didn’t expect to see me here since Damon was also living here.

With a straight face, I glanced at them and walked into the elevator.

Ariel hesitated for a moment, then also stepped in.

Nicole rolled her eyes at me while Ariel made a complicated face the whole time. I guessed Damon might be in for some drama.

"What rotten luck, she lives here too?" Nicole couldn’t help but rant.

Ariel looked at me with a thoughtful expression.

When the elevator arrived, Ariel’s face changed, looking stunned as I walked into my apartment.

"Oh my God, why does she live opposite Nick?" Nicole exclaimed in frustration.

Once I closed the door, I couldn’t hear her anymore.

Whether Ariel and Damon were going to fight, I didn’t care. But I didn’t expect that Ariel would text me after a while, "Eliana, can we chat?"

I didn’t respond and blocked her straight away

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. I peeked through the peephole, and it was Ariel. I couldn’t understand why she would dare to come to me.

Where was Damon? Did he leave after delivering the food?

I opened the door. Outside, Ariel looked at me with a complex expression, "Eliana, do you hate me that much now?"

"Come in, close the door." I returned to the living room and sat down, instructing coldly.

Ariel closed the door silently and sat opposite me.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Ariel couldn’t help but ask, "Eliana, can you keep your distance from Damon?"

I quirked an eyebrow, "Why?"

"You’re divorced, aren’t you? I’m the one by Damon’s side now, but I feel like he still has feelings for you. It’s unfair to me." Ariel bit her lip after speaking. looking innocent.

I looked at her coldly and replied, "How is it unfair? You were the third party, and I didn’t say anything to you, but now that you’re about to be his partner, you remind me, Don’t you think that’s unreasonable?"

Ariel’s face changed," Eliana, I’m not the third party. I was with Damon only after you guys divorced"

"Damon said you two were never together." I countered Ariel directly, "And stop playing innocent in front of me. I already know you were the first to contact Damon Ariel, you were sitting with me in the car on our way to have dinner with Joshua, but you were secretly texting a married man behind me. Have you no shame?"

Ariel was stunned by my words, disbelief! filled her eyes. She quickly asked anxiously, "Did Joshua tell you?!"

I was a bit shocked. So, Joshua knew about this?

I vaguely replied, "What do you think?"

"He’s so despicable! Ariel seemed furious, "He promised me he wouldn’t tell anyone!"

Then I remembered Joshua had seen the messages between Ariel and Damon. He must have found out then

Joshua was really kind to Ariel, and he never exposed her. Otherwise, her reputation would be worse.

I wouldn’t expose Mitch, but I also didn’t want Joshua to be misunderstood, so I said, "It’s not him. No one told me about it. I found out by myself."

"You checked Damon’s phone?" Ariel questioned immediately

"You don’t need to care how I found out. Just remember, I know almost everything you’ve done, so don’t come to me and pretend. You should be grateful that I’m willing to divorce Damon. Stay away from me, or you’ll be asking for trouble." I smirked, "I still have to leave you if he finds out."

Ariel was obviously intimidated. She definitely didn’t want to lose Damon.

She probably didn’t expect that I would know so much. After staying silent for a while, she got up to leave.

"When did you know about Damon? When did you know who I was?" I asked.

Ariel stopped, looked at me, smiled, and answered, "Eliana, although I contacted Damon first, it’s because I knew he asked someone else for my contact info. So, I wanted to ask him why. Before that, I had never met him and didn’t know who you were. I gotta go. I have stuff to do."

With that, she hurried off. But I didn’t believe her. I could find out for myself. Then, I unblocked Joshua. I wanted to ask him what he knew.

Before asking him, I checked his Facebook. It hadn’t been updated for a long time. The latest post was from when Joshua and I climbed the mountain. It was photos we took then.

There was a photo of me holding a kitten, but you couldn’t see my face.

I felt guilty as sin like I’d wronged him, with a feeling of reluctance to bother him anymore. I’d put him on my block list when I was bored, then unblocked him when I needed him

Maybe I should find other ways to deal with this. I let out a sigh, preparing to put Joshua on my block list again.

Joshua texted me, "Eliana, have you finally unblocked me?!"

I didn’t know what to reply.

Joshua continued, "Why did you suddenly block me? Did I do something wrong?"

I replied, "No, Joshua, you didn’t do anything wrong. I accidentally blocked you, sorry"

Joshua texted back, "Can you take a video call now? I want to see you. Dr. Jones said you’re abroad. You’re overseas now, right?"

I pinged Joshua for a video call, and he picked up in no time.
