Joel was using Happiness, a song by one of his and Tanya's favorite singers back then, as his cell phone ringtone.
However, when he was about to take out his phone, he instead saw Tanya taking out her own cell phone and picking up a call.
It was then that he realized that Tanya was also using Happiness as her ringtone.
If so, then did that mean that she, like him, also couldn't forget the other party even after so many years?
But as soon as he started indulging in his wishful thinking, in front, Tanya's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Darling! So it was you who helped me out!
"Of course, I'll reward you. Shall I give you a kiss? Or perhaps, I'll give myself to you and sleep with you for a few nights?"
"Oh, don't be shy! Here, I'll give you a big kiss! Mwah-!"
"... Dinner? No problem, of course! Text me the location!"
Tanya hung up after that. Then, she immediately got up, turned around, and walked away excitedly.
After she left, Joel walked out from behind the big pillar at the school gates. He stared at the direction in which she had driven away, his upturned eyes flickering dimly.
'Darling'... 'Give myself to you'... 'A big kiss'...
The phrases made him feel uncomfortable all over. It was as if there was a time bomb ticking away in his body, ready to explode.
He didn't even know what he was doing, but without even a second thought, the man, who had always been calm and self-disciplined, suddenly got into his car and followed behind her.
He was going to see... just where she was going!
Tanya drove the jeep leisurely to Club Prism.
After parking, she looked up and gazed at the familiar place.
This was a club that the wealthy and prestigious often visited to have some fun, and had been around for many years.
When she was still a child, she was the baggage that her mother had brought with her when she married into a wealthy family. What Hillary loved doing the most was bringing her here to have some fun—
Because she couldn't go in.
She wasn't of high social status and didn't own a VIP card. Thus, all she could do was stand at the door anxiously and wait for Hillary to remember that she was there.
Later, she stopped coming.
While she was staring at the place, inside Club Prism, Hillary was also coincidentally there for dinner. She had already parked her car and was about to enter the main hall.
When she turned her head and noticed Tanya, she bit her lip at once.
To think Tanya had actually followed her here! Was she haunting her or what?
She narrowed her eyes and beckoned the lobby manager over. Then, she pointed at Tanya outside and said, "Don't let that woman in!"
The lobby manager glanced at Hillary and retorted, "Ms. Jones, I have no right to refuse her entry if she's a legit customer."
Seeing that her words weren't working on the lobby manager, a look of displeasure came over her countenance and she said, "You may not care about my identity as Ms. Jones, but what about my identity as Mrs. Smith?"
The lobby manager was taken aback.
Hillary cast her eyes down and said, "Although Joel and I aren't married yet, I've already moved into the Smiths' residence. You should know that, right?"
The lobby manager frowned.
A smirking Hillary said, "Or perhaps you aren't afraid of Mrs. Smith, either. In that case, what about Joel?"
The lobby manager was stunned.
Hillary pointed to the area outside and said, "That woman is a dance teacher at the kindergarten who injured Joel's and my daughter. She followed me here because she wants to apologize. I don't want to see her, and neither do I think Joel would want to, either.
Understand?"
