Crises in Love novel Chapter 574

I glanced at Janice with a hint of envy and asked, "Another promotion?"

Janice's smile was pure contentment, her nod shy but proud, "Yep, He is heading to the head office now."

"Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed, "Does that mean you're moving to Zephyr Hollow?"

"Yes. But he's going first. The kids and I will stay put in Goldenvale Town," Janice said with modesty, "We might not even join him. The kids are still too young, and I can't bear to leave Janetta. She needs me right now."

"He is climbing the ladder at warp speed." I remarked, "He hasn't been at the state level for that long, right? You really hit the jackpot. You're okay with him going off to Zephyr Hollow alone?"

I teased Janice with a playful look.

Janice laughed with self-assurance, "What's there to worry about? The saying goes, an ugly wife is a treasure at home, and I've got no concerns wherever he goes because he is not handsome. I picked him for that very reason."

Geneva chimed in with a tease, "Oh, please! Don't be so sure of yourself. Haven't you heard money makes even the lame and the blind lovable?"

We all burst into laughter.

"He's not rich, so who'd love a broke guy with a face like his?" Janice shot back.

"But how did you fall for him?" I pressed on, pinpointing the heart of the matter.

I had always wanted to ask but had held back, thinking it might be impolite. Now that Janice had broached the topic of Baber's appearance, I couldn't let this chance slip away.

"I saw he was a solid guy," Janice confessed.

"Come on, give us the real scoop. We're your sisters from another mister." Catherine was the first to call her out.

I quickly joined in, "Exactly, no beating around the bush. Spill the beans, and I've been dying to ask you."

Janice playfully pushed me away, "Curiosity killed the cat. You're all about looks, so of course Baber wouldn't catch your eye."
