From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Chapter 12

Only Juan would be deceived by Shelia.

Juan liked Shelia, making it hard to see through her.

“Alright, it’s not a big deal. Shelia still has class today. I take her to school.”

Juan gave Shelia a look, indicating she should leave.

Shelia looked grateful.

“Debra and I are going shopping today. Since you’re not busy, come along with us,” Melody said.

“But Shelia…”

“Let Joe fake her back. You’re the CEO of Nichols Group. Don’t do anything that tarnishes your status.”

Melody’s words were final.

Shelia bit her lip and said, “Mr. Nichols, it’s fine if Joe takes me to school. Don’t upset Mrs. Nichols.”

Shelia politely bowed to Melody.

But Melody didn’t appreciate it.

“I’ll see you off,” Juan said.

Shelia nodded.

As Juan escorted Shelia out, Melody turned to Debra. “Juan is young and easily deceived by these vixens. You should be more vigilant.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Debra nodded outwardly but inwardly hoped these two would progress faster.

“I’ve noticed you’ve been putting less effort into Juan lately,” Melody said, holding Debra’s hand. “You need to capture his heart. At least have a chubby little one. Once you have a child, Juan will settle down.”

“I will,” Debra replied with a smile.

But in reality, it was impossible to even conceive with Juan.

He didn’t love her, so despite being married, they never shared a bed, How could they have babies?

In her last life, she struggled to conceive Juan’s child, but in his mind, besides Shelia, no one else deserved to have his child.

She died miserably on the operating table at the age of 27 due to a difficult childbirth.

And in the end, Juan wished for her death.

Debra felt a heavy weight in her heart.

Melody, mistaking Debra’s heaviness for the inability to be intimate with Juan, said earnestly, “Don’t worry. Il find a way to fix this.”

Juan escorted Shelia away, and when he came back, he saw Debra and Melody conversing.

“I asked the driver to fetch the car. You go ahead. I need to talk to Debra.”

Melody was happy to create an opportunity for the two to be alone.

Once Melody left, Juan spoke coldly. “What games are you playing this time?”

He had thought Debra would stop making scenes, but it seemed she was just up to new tricks.

Debra frowned. “I’m not playing anything.”

“I’ve told you many times. Shelia is just a student I sponsor and will be a support for the company in the future. She poses no threat to your position. You don’t need to go out of your way to deal with her, let alone use Grandma.”

“As I said, I haven’t. If you hadn’t told Grandma about my kidnapping, she wouldn’t have come over, nor would she have caught Shelia staying overnight.”

Juan’s eyes narrowed. “It’s best that way.”

Debra sensed Juan’s distrust.
