Chapter 188 Jealousy
Seraphina wanted to find some comfort for herself, but the outcome was destined to be frustrating for her.
Ophe casually said, "He said the wedding is likely to be prepared by the end of the year. The wedding gifts have already been given, and his family is very pleased with me. They gave me a lot of gifts when we met."
"How is that possible?" Seraphina couldn't control her emotions for a moment but then realized and explained in a lower tone. "I'm just surprised that his family accepted you so quickly, Ophe. Congratulations! When it's your wedding, I want to be your bridesmaid. That's what we agreed on before."
Seraphina as a bridesmaid?
Ophe was not so generous and calmly refused, "Finnegan has already chosen the bridesmaid."
Seraphina felt a bit disappointed, and Magnus said, "Seraphina, being a bridesmaid might not be appropriate for you."
Magnus and Ophe would have thought Seraphina would be angry, but she was the opposite.
She just said with a smile, "That's right. I have yet to consider all aspects carefully. But if I won't be the bridesmaid, can I take part in the wedding? Ophe, do you not consider me a good friend just because of a man?"
Initially, Seraphina didn't consider Ophe to be a friend, but now she changed her mind.
Ophe stared at Seraphina for a while, unsure if she had genuine remorse or if she had ulterior motives.
No matter what kind of relationship it was, whether friendship or love, once there were cracks, it was difficult to repair.
Suddenly, Seraphina stood up, poured a cup of coffee, and sincerely said, "Ophe, I was irresponsible in the past. I know the things I've done are hard to forgive. Today, I'm here to ask for your forgiveness. Whether or not you forgive me is your right. I want to express my sincere apology. I'm truly sorry, and congratulations on marrying into a wealthy family."
Seraphina drank the coffee instead of wine. She placed the cup on the table after she finished, bowed deeply to Ophe, and then walked away.
Seraphina was very chic this time, without shedding a tear or showing anger.
Ophe was surprised. "How did she suddenly become a different person? Does she really understand?"
Magnus thought about Seraphina's million-dollar debt and said, "Maybe she went through some things and really matured. She hasn't had it easy either."
Being able to handle a million-dollar debt without completely breaking down, Magnus admired Seraphina.
If it were an ordinary person under such pressure, they would have long sought death.
"Actually, I'm not completely innocent either. Both of us have contributed to the situation we're in today. It takes two to tango." Ophe said, "I have also reflected on myself. Maybe I meddled in her affairs too much. By the way, there's something I want to give you."
Just now, Seraphina was there, and Ophe didn't feel comfortable talking about buying a house. After all, she only bought one for Magnus. Seraphina knew, and she felt a bit unsettled inside.
Ophe took out a property certificate from her bag and said, "Take a look, a house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. You won't have to squeeze on the couch anymore. Don't refuse; I've already talked to Finnegan. This house is a gift for you. You said you were my brother, so consider this your wedding gift. Just accept it."
Magnus opened the property certificate and was shocked. In New York, a 1,300-square-foot house in a good location would cost at least 10 million dollars.
"Ophe, this is too valuable. A 10-million-dollar house, how can you give it away? Take it back quickly. What will Abbott's Family think of you?" Magnus returned the property certificate.
"You deserve it." Ophe pushed the property certificate back and said, "Do you remember our childhood wishes? Our birthday wishes every year were to become rich overnight and buy cars and houses for each other. Look, don't we have everything now? Relying on my husband is also a skill, isn't it?"
Ophe only dared to say such things to Magnus. In truth, she felt uncertain herself since she didn't earn the money. She lacked confidence.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch Magnus struggle. Ophe had a good mindset. If others criticized her for not appreciating it, for not knowing her limits, for squandering her husband's money, she would think of it as envious.
Who would turn down a billionaire husband showing up at their doorstep?
Both Finnegan and she were satisfied, so others had no right to judge her for free.
If someone still wanted to criticize and manipulate her morality, she wasn't afraid since morality couldn't control her without morality.
She shouldn't think too hard about everything, it was tiring.
In order to make Magnus accept this house, Ophe said, "If you really can't feel at ease about it, then you can live here for now, and if Finnegan and I break up one day, then I'll give the house back to Abbott's Family."
Magnus was still hesitating, while Seraphina, hiding by the door, was consumed with jealousy.
She hadn't left just now, deliberately acting like she was going, thinking that they would try to stop her. But as soon as she turned around, Ophe presented Magnus with a million-dollar house.
