I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 522 +25 BONUS Chapter 522 Kate was finally able to leave the hospital . Her colleagues had wrapped up their work , and Lauren was mobile enough to head back home . She couldn't stay in a foreign hospital forever . Since Lauren was still nursing her injury , Damian made a point to have the staff upgrade her ticket to first class . She went straight from the economy cabin to the first - class one , and her seat was right behind Rhea and George . Kate was also upgraded to first class . Damian had heard that Sawyer had sent two assistants abroad to help Kate out .

As Sawyer's good friend , Damian wasn't about to let his buddy's special someone be shortchanged . When they settled into their seats , Lauren made a point to greet Rhea and George , but Kate didn't . She sat quietly in the back without making a sound . Her gaze lingered on the seats in front of her as she fell deep into thought . Lauren , who had once been a master at playing the innocent schemer , could spot jealousy or malice in a woman's eyes from a mile away . Shockingly , Kate's eyes held neither . She seemed curious - curious about how Rhea and George interacted with each other .

The flight was long enough for them to sleep through it , yet Lauren spent it watching Kate's every expression . She wondered why Kate had suddenly changed her tune . She wondered if what Seamus had said was true - that Kate cared about how she looked in another man's eyes . Was it because of Sawyer ? Lauren couldn't resist the desire to gossip and broke Kate's reverie . " So , what's the deal with this Sawyer guy ? " Kate blinked in surprise , clearly caught off guard by the question . She eyed Lauren warily . " Why do you care ? " Lauren frowned . " I'm just curious .

" If a decent guy was getting played by someone like Kate - or worse , falling for her sweet talk - Lauren would be pissed . Why should a rotten woman like Kate get a shot at redemption ? She believed that Kate should be stuck envying and resenting others forever . The two somewhat crazed women became locked in a silent showdown . Kate's gaze flicked toward the seats in front as she enunciated , " He's good to me . He accepts all my flaws and is willing to stick by me through the toughest times .

" The words came from the bottom of her heart , but to Lauren , it sounded like Kate was laying it on thick and trying to polish her own image . She didn't dare to move too abruptly , so all she did was cross her arms . " Are you sure a guy that good would go for someone like you ? " The more Kate spoke to Sawyer , the calmer she felt . Still , Lauren had that knack for shattering her composure . Kate gritted her teeth and growled , " If you don't have anything nice to say , maybe just shut your mouth . " No one was begging her to chat with them ! Up front , George's warm voice drifted back .

" Do you want some water ? " 1/2 Chapter 522 " Not really ... " Rhea sounded sleepy . " Just have a sip .
