Forsaking the Years of Longing novel Chapter 52

Chapter 22

“Wait, what? What do you mean they already fell out? Wasn’t this woman pregnant with Ivan’s child? Ivan really is something else!”

“But do you think he’s actually dead? She did look like she was crying for real”

Rachel’s tone dripped with sarcasm as she spoke.

Linda snorted lightly and shook her head.

“Just a dog–eat–dog show. If Ivan were really dead, Attorney John would’ve contacted me.”

“It’s funny, though–a mistress fighting with her sugar daddy, then going live to spread rumors about his death. Why hasn’t Ivan issued a lawyer’s letter yet? Isn’t this defamation?”

Rachel laughed heartily, but Linda gave her a strange look.

“Rachel, maybe cut back on the snacks. I think… they might actually be bad for your brain.”

Rachel stared at her, dumbfounded, as if still processing.

Then Linda added, “Why would he send a lawyer’s letter? To admit he’s her top supporter? That he cheated on his wife with a livestreamer?”

“Hiss…”

Rachel took a sharp breath, clutching her chest as if to calm herself.

“You’re right. Starting tomorrow, I’ll eat better.”

“This game, Novelist’s Love Choice, is based on my personal experiences. If you’re merely

the heroine of someone else’s story, no matter how much the plot seems to favor you, your fate is still in someone else’s hands.”

The game’s release was accompanied by this simple message from its producer, Ms. Taylor, posted on the official game blog. She didn’t make any personal appearances, but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the players. The game grossed three million on its first day of release.
