I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The moment Stella saw the marriage certificate, she nearly collapsed. Just yesterday morning, she had shamed Meredith, and today her son had married her. Stella felt her blood pressure rise, her voice becoming sharp and thin: “Terrence Sterling, have you lost your mind? How could you marry that kind of woman? Marriage is no child’s play. How could you just casually get registered? I am your mother, and you didn’t even inform me beforehand.”

Stella’s voice was loud and her emotions were charged, causing quite a commotion. Julian, who was still outside in the yard, heard everything. He hurried into the living room, looking puzzled, and asked, “What happened? Why are you arguing again? Why can’t you get along whenever you meet? Stella, what did you do this time?”

“Your son, he got married,” Stella said angrily, pointing at Terrence Sterling, “Without a word, he got registered. He completely disregarded us as parents, and he married that kind of woman.”

Upon hearing the news of Terrence Sterling’s marriage, Julian was also shocked, but soon after, he was pleasantly surprised: “Son, you got married? Where is the girl? Why didn’t you bring her here? This is good news, my son is married.”

Julian was genuinely happy; he had been worried about his son never marrying. “This marriage shows he is a normal man with emotions and desires. Once a man marries, it means he has truly matured.”

At this, Stella immediately turned her anger towards Julian, slapping him on the shoulder, “What are you happy about? Your son didn’t marry Joy Chaucer. The marriage arrangement between the Sterling family and the Chaucer family is now ruined. He married a woman who is vain and indecent…”

Unable to bear Stella slandering Meredith any longer, Terrence Sterling interjected with a cold voice, “My wife’s name is Meredith, not some indecent woman.”

Julian, curious about his daughter-in-law, peered at the photo on the marriage certificate, “This girl looks familiar, I think I’ve seen her somewhere…”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Julian then remembered, “It’s this girl who took your grandmother to the hospital. She has a good heart, not bad, my son, you have a good eye.”

Stella glared fiercely at Julian and angrily said, “What good, what good? I do not approve of this marriage, Terrence Sterling, go get a divorce now.”

Julian, undermining her from the side, reminded, “You can’t expect your son to become a divorced man on the day he gets registered, do you?”

This earned him a glare from Stella.

Terrence Sterling, with a stern face, said, “Marriage is no child’s play, Mom, that’s what you just said.” How could he simply marry and then divorce on a whim?

Stella was nearly furious to death, both her son and husband angering her. “Terrence Sterling, I told you just yesterday, this woman is not for you. She’s just playing with you, she’s vain and only after your money.”

Terrence Sterling remained calm: “As a man, earning money to spend on my wife is my honor. If she wants to spend my money, that’s my privilege. Mom, Dad, I came today to tell you, I am married. Meredith is my wife. Seeing the situation, I won’t bring Meredith back now. I’ll wait until you can accept her, then I’ll bring her to Ravenwood.”

Stella was furious, “Terrence Sterling, are you trying to kill me? You just have to marry every woman I don’t like.”

Terrence Sterling pocketed the marriage certificate, his tone calm but with a hint of warning: “Mom, she is now my wife. You should know what you should and shouldn’t do. You wouldn’t want me to settle both old and new scores with you.”

With those words, Terrence Sterling left. Stella, furious, sat on the sofa gasping for breath. Julian poured water to soothe her: “Drink some water, what’s there to be angry about? This is a good thing, our son is married, doesn’t that mean we can expect grandchildren soon?”

“What’s so good, Julian? Are you deliberately opposing me today?” Stella was furious: “Why do you always side with your son? You know who he married, and you agree? How are we going to explain this to the Chaucer family?”

“That girl, I’ve seen her, she’s quite good,” Julian tried to console her. “You are just too serious, trying to control everything, wanting everyone to listen to you. Your son isn’t a child anymore, you can’t control him. As for the marriage arrangement with the Chaucer family, what do you need to explain? They might not even take it seriously. Originally, they wanted me to marry Bianca, but I didn’t marry her, I married you.”

As soon as Julian finished speaking, he realized he had slipped up. He had kept the secret about Bianca for thirty years.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Stella’s face changed color: “What did you say? They wanted you to marry Bianca?”
