Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife
Chapter 31 Broken Friendship
Though the wealth the Jenkins family possessed had gone far beyond average, it still failed to reach even a mere proportion of that of the Armstrong family.
Matilda had been growing more craze about material privilege as she had been a friend of Juliette since childhood.
When Juliette was in a good mood, she would like to offer Matilda something she no longer fancied or something she ever deserted.
Though Matilda only received used stuff, the value of them still went beyond what she could afford. Only when she stayed with Juliette, she could taste the joy of living like a rich lady among the upper class.
So Matilda had been fawning on Juliette just because she was longing for privilege. Actually, she despised Juliette from the bottom of her heart, whom she deemed ignorant though with dazzling appearance.
“Preston, what brought you here?” Matilda hurried over with excitement when seeing him.
“Where is Jessica?”
Preston looked around but only to find Matilda here alone. So he uttered to ask.
Matilda had a long crush on Preston, but she hadn’t been courageous enough to confess in case she incurred the envy from Juliette. So she had to keep it like a secret. But now she felt like flexing her sense of crush as she noticed there was no one else around.
“Jessica asked Juliette out for a talk. Perhaps it will take quite a while before she returns.”
Matilda felt like stammering while facing her prince charming. Her heart started to run wild.
“Come on in, have a seat. You don’t’ need to stand still to wait for her.” Matilda suggested with a blushed face. She nudged a bit to spare some space for Preston to enter.
“Okay.”
As always, Preston showed no interest looking at her. Not to mention a talk with her. He walked in and sat down on the couch.
“Do you want a glass of wine? The vintage has just been airlifted. Would you like to try some?” worrying that Preston might leave first out of impatience, Matilda filled a glass with wine, trying to make him stay for a bit longer.
