My Second Husband novel Chapter 1147

The man was the only son of a prominent local winery owner. He was rich and did not keep a low profile at all.

Most of the girls in his school were fond of him. Although Eddison had stayed aloof to the squabbles and commotions in school, he still knew about him.

He was infamous for being a playboy.

Rumor had it that his ex-girlfriends were either dead or had gone crazy at the end of their relationships. Although those cases were all proven to be accidents later, the coincidences were too eerie and frightening.

Thinking of that, Eddison got up instantly and stood in front of Sierra.

"You're not welcome here!"

He berated the man sternly.

It was obvious that the man hadn't expected him to act in such a way, or, more precisely, he didn't even notice that there was someone else in the room as all of his attention was on Sierra.

Hearing that, he quirked his eyebrow.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. Anyway, you're not welcome here!"

The man was incensed at Eddison's words. He asked Sierra, "Sierra, is this your friend?"

Sierra grabbed hold of Eddison's arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Jairus is here to visit me."

Eddison was baffled briefly, "Are you friends with him? Haven't you heard about the rumors in school?"

She turned her head aside.

She explained to Jairus, "He's my junior in school. He has just returned from Country C. Please don't mind him!"

Only then did Jairus smile and said, "So, you two are schoolmates then. Nice to meet you, I'm Sierra's boyfriend!"

Eddison was flabbergasted by the word 'boyfriend'.

He suddenly remembered that Sierra had told him before that she had a boyfriend. It turned out to be this man, Jairus.

"Sierra, about this matter, you-"

Sierra interrupted him, "Enough of that! Jairus is very nice to me, and I'm also very happy now. I hope that I can have your blessing."

Eddison pursed his lips. Before he could say anything else, Sierra accepted the flowers from Jairus.

"Thank you, they are beautiful."

"I've also brought your favorite pears. Last time, you said that you didn't like apples. I remembered that!"

"Thank you, darling!" she said, grinning from ear to ear as she looked at Jairus.

Eddison looked at the two of them, and then glanced at the apple in his hand. He couldn't help but regret his decision to visit her.

He turned around while saying, "I'm sorry for my disturbance."

After that, he left right away.

In sooth, Eddison had no idea why he had gone to the hospital. He had reckoned Sierra needed him, but in reality, he only ended up embarrassing himself as she was clearly in love with Jairus.

He wandered around aimlessly. When he came to his senses, he found himself back at the dormitory.

His roommates, Larry, Victor and Carney, were busy chatting in the dormitory. Everyone was delighted to see him back.

"Dude, how come you've never told us that you're coming back? We would have gone and picked you up from the airport."

He found a seat and sat down, saying, "There's no need for that."

"All right, we haven't seen you for a long time. Let us treat you to a drink or two!"

It was still quite a distance away from the nearest restaurant, but several food stalls could be found nearby. However, Eddison did not really have much of an appetite.

As they were discussing where to go for a meal, he recalled Rachel's words.

She had told him to head back for dinner.

Frowning, he dismissed the thought from his mind.

"No, it's too troublesome!"

Larry laughed and said, "Oh, I've just remembered that a friend of mine came over a few days ago. He brought me some snacks. Let me show them to you!"
