Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 30

Her words attract more onlookers. People look at me and Maisy, gossiping.

Home wreckers are the most despised. A lot of women hate them to the bone.

And what Maisy said made me a shameless home wrecker.

"I seduced your husband?" I sneer.

Maisy gnashes his teeth and say, "You don't want to admit it? Let me tell you, I already know everything happened at the bank."

Just because I don't want to be wanted doesn't mean I feel guilty.

"Chelsea, I asked your boss to fire you because you'd been badgering my husband. I didn't really mean to hurt you. I was just warning you." Maisy says with anger.

"My friend told me you held my husband's hand in the bank and wouldn't let him go. Why are you so shameless?"

I look at her coldly and listen to her questions over and over again. She puts all the blame on me.

Looking at her, I ask lightly, "So, what do you want?"

She's stunned for a moment. She probably thought I would get angry and retort and then she could mock me severely. She might even start ganging up on me.

But my reaction is out of her expectations.

Everyone falls silent, waiting for her answer. Maybe they want to see how she's gonna deal with a mistress.

"I want nothing but your leave!" Maisy says seriously. "Leave here and stay away from my husband. It's enough."

"My mother's still in the hospital!" I pretend to be sad.

She doesn't care about it all. "So what? Get her to another hospital. She's not gonna be fine for a while anyway. You can send her to a cheaper hospital."

"Absolutely no! She's my mother! She is doing better now and she can be discharged when she wakes up. We've lived here for over decades. We can't leave!"

Callen's regrets and Maisy's attacks have worn me out. I just don't want to see them again!

Since Maisy wants me to be infamous and leave this city, I'll make her regret it for the rest of her life!

Maisy's face is getting ghastly, and she questions, "That's your business!"

The chatter around us grows louder. Most people think she is out of line because my mother is innocent.

"I didn't seduce your husband. Even if I wanted to, why would I do that in a bank with so many people? I begged you to lend me money for my mom's illness, and not only did you turn me down, you got me fired. Aren't you pushing me to a dead end?" I question her in a deep voice.

She starts avoiding my eyes. After a while, she continues, "You got fired because you're a bad employee! Don't slander me!"
