My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 176

When Rachel thought that they were finally finished with shopping, Lea just handed the things to her driver and waved her hands enthusiastically. "Let's go on to the next shop!"

Rachel's legs were so sore that she almost fell to the ground. She quickly reached out and pulled Lea back. "Can't we rest first?" she whined.

Lea thought about it for a while before nodding. Besides, it was still early, and they still had two hours left before dinner.

They quickly entered a busy cafe and ordered themselves two cups of coffee and plates of pastries.

Rachel had been exhausted after the long hours of shopping she had. They had probably entered fifty shops in an hour.

She rubbed her ankles once they'd finally sat down,

wincing in pain.

Although Lea was never short of money, she probably spent around a hundred thousand dollars in one hour alone.

She had never done this before, so there must be something that was setting her off.

Rachel took a sip of coffee to alleviate her thirst before asking, "What's with you? Why are you buying so many things? Have you won the lottery or

something?"

Lea shrugged. "These are actually for free," she explained. "I didn't pay a single dime for any of them."

"For free?" Lea's face darkened at the thought of the man's name. However, she didn't even need to say it for Rachel to know. It was all over her face.

"Henry?" Rachel blurted.

Lea clenched her fists.

"Don't even mention that bastard."

Rachel leaned back against her seat, blinking at the profanity. Her friend was usually more put-together than this. That would mean that something must've set her off. "Did you guys fight?"

"Of course not." Rachel was about to tease her for not telling her the truth, but she quickly interrupted her. "This is the money he has given me to be his sugar baby."

Silence had fallen upon them for the next few seconds as Rachel widened her eyes. "What?" Lea just had a fight with Henry the other day,

and she was furious.

She didn't expect that after two days of separation, he would give her a bank card. A part of her thought that he would return to apologize to her before she would go back for work.

To her disappointment, all he did was sent a stranger to deliver the bank card to her.

When she tried to call him, he was even more shameless. "I'll buy you everything you want. You

don't need to work," he said.

Her face had flushed dark red.

She thought that he would finally come to his senses and ask for her forgiveness.

What she didn't expect was for him to throw her a bank card as if she was short on cash. Did he really think she was that desperate?

Did he think she was a gold digger? Was that why he had given her the card?

At the thought, Lea gritted her teeth. She hated that man for even implying such a thing. It was as if he didn't even know her.

Was she his sugar baby or something? They had another screaming match on her phone.

The fight they had, had done nothing but bring back feelings of sadness and depression that had clouded her for days.

If he had said that it was because he cared for her welfare, she would've let that one slide. However, Henry could only assume that she worked as an airline stewardess because it was well-paid.

"Do you really think that I need the money?" she had demanded in the phone, ready to punch the wall in front of her.

"There's another reason. I'm afraid that someone will hit on you like I did," he confessed.

Lea had become angrier.

What had she done that made him look at her that way? She wasn't a fucking prostitute!

"Henry!" She clenched her jaw. "You're the worst

man I've ever dated!"

She didn't even bother to hear his reply before she hung up.

Henry tried calling her again once he had calmed down, but she didn't even bother to answer his phone anymore.

Lea already had enough of him. After everything that he had put her through, she already heard enough of his bullshit.

Without anther thought, she blocked him.

After meeting Rachel, she couldn't help but complain about the events that had transpired between them the last two days.
