His Precious Love

Chapter 382

Chapter 382

The housekeeper had already prepared a room for Gianna and stocked it with products from the brand the latter wanted.

Opening the closet, Gianna found dozens of the latest luxury clothing items lying quietly inside.

After picking out an outfit and donning it, she took selfies in every corner of the room. She then video- called her fair-weather friends and showed them around the mansion. As she took in their envious gazes, a look of smugness settled upon Gianna’s face.

Just when she was about to enter the third floor, the housekeeper rushed over and blocked her path.

“Ms. Gianna, you are free to go anywhere in this mansion but the third floor.”

Furious, Gianna growled, “I’m the mistress of this place! What do you mean I can’t go to the third floor?”

The housekeeper replied, “Well, Ms. Marsh is staying on the third floor. Mr. Lopez has told us that you can go anywhere except the third floor, so I hope you won’t give us a hard time, Ms. Gianna.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Embarrassed, Gianna quickly cut off the video call.

She then fumed, “I don’t care who’s living on the third floor! I’m Wyatt’s girlfriend!”

To that, the housekeeper responded with, “I don’t know what your relationship with Mr. Lopez is, but I have heard that the lady living on the third floor is Mr. Lopez’s fiancée.”

His fiancée? And her last name is Marsh?

Gianna immediately thought of someone and pressed the housekeeper, “Are you talking about Jessica Marsh?”

“Yes.”

Gianna’s heart lurched upon hearing that.

I thought Wyatt would be irked and break up with Jessica after seeing that and hearing the lies I made up! Why would he arrange for Jessica to stay here? And why ask me to move in?

Forcing herself to remain calm, Gianna tried to sound the housekeeper out. “Why is Wyatt letting her stay here?”

“I have no idea, Ms. Gianna.”

“Then why is she staying on the third floor?” A glint flashed across Gianna’s eyes before she added nonchalantly, “I don’t mind that Wyatt has a fiancée. I just want to build a rapport with her. After all, we’re going to be seeing each other quite often from now on.”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment before saying, “I doubt you’ll be able to see her, Ms. Gianna. Mr. Lopez has forbade her from leaving the third floor. We’re the ones sending her meals.”

Glee filled Gianna’s heart when she heard that, followed by curiosity. She asked, “Did she have a fight with Wyatt?”

Seeing how the housekeeper was reluctant to give her an answer, Gianna took a stack of cash from her wallet and stuffed it in the former’s hand before saying, “Just tell me. After all, I’m not the only one staying here. I don’t want to piss Wyatt off.”

After accepting the money, the housekeeper’s resolve weakened, and she told Gianna about the time Jessica and Wyatt got into a fight. She continued with how they helped Jessica to a bath, cleaned up her body, and the instructions they had received.

After hearing everything, Gianna felt relieved.

I guess the rift between them still exists due to the misunderstandings that I’ve created. All Wyatt wants is for her to get pregnant and have a child. That’s why he imprisoned her here. Since Jessica’s not allowed to leave the third floor, she poses no threat to me.

Feigning concern, Gianna mused, “She must have angered Wyatt for her to be treated like this.” She then ordered the housekeeper, “Do take good care of her and don’t let her come downstairs, lest her presence annoys Wyatt.”

“Understood, Ms. Gianna.”

Now that she was staying at the mansion, Gianna could wake up at any time she desired.

There was no longer any need for her to attend any shows. All she had to do was lay on her bed and flirt with Wyatt over the phone for a sum of money to be wired to her. Apart from that, she only needed to make a phone call for someone at the luxury stores to bring over a batch of clothing or jewelry to the mansion for her to choose from.

It was a blissful life.

Sometimes, Gianna would see the housekeeper delivering meals up to the third floor, and she would be reminded of the incident when she was talking to Jessica in the stairwell and accidentally pushed the latter, causing Jessica to miscarry. When memories of this flashed through her mind, Gianna would feel uneasy.

Jessica made so many plans for revenge. Back then, she wasn’t afraid of any provocation. It’s clear that she isn’t someone to be trifled with. Although she has been imprisoned on the third floor, there’s no telling when Wyatt might go to see her. And if she talks about what happened that day… No, I need to handle this matter before that happens.

Those uncertain factors made it difficult for Gianna to have peace of mind. As such, when she found someone who could help her on WhatsApp, she immediately contacted the person.

Two days a later, a package arrived at the mansion.

Gianna tore open the package, took out the contents, and snuck into the kitchen before sprinkling the contents in the food.

As she watched the housekeeper deliver the food to the third floor, a cruel smile spread across her lips.

Meanwhile, Jessica had no idea Gianna was living on the second floor since she was confined to the third floor.

She endured each day without seeing Wyatt. Afraid that he would have too much work to handle at the company, she didn’t dare ask the housekeeper to call him. In the end, she could only spend her time reading and drawing while she waited for him.

One morning, Jessica felt slightly unwell when she woke up.

After washing up and eating her breakfast, she took a book and went over to the window to read under the sunlight. Seeing how obedient she was as of late, the housekeeper stopped watching her like a hawk.

Time ticked by as she entertained herself with reading and drawing.

At times, she would feel dizzy, or her throat would bother her. However, she chalked it up to the fact that she might have caught a cold because she had not slept well and just took a couple of cold medicines.

At four in the afternoon, the housekeeper came up with a plate of fruits and told Jessica, “Mr. Lopez will be coming back tonight.”

He’s coming back?

Lying on a chaise longue, a groggy Jessica sat up immediately upon hearing that, her dim eyes lighting up.

She then asked the housekeeper what time Wyatt would be coming back.

However, the housekeeper merely glanced at her and stated carefully, “Ms. Marsh, I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

It was then Jessica recalled that she had a sore throat. She reckoned she must have lost her voice after catching a cold. Taking a pen and paper, she wrote: My throat’s sore, so I can’t talk. I was asking you when he will be back.

After reading what she wrote, the housekeeper replied, “He’s usually back at six or seven o’clock, so he should be back at around the same time today as well.”

To that, Jessica wrote another sentence on the paper.

The housekeeper immediately rejected her request after looking at the paper. “No way! Ms. Marsh, Mr. Lopez told you to stay on the third floor. If you come downstairs with me, I’ll be scolded.”

Jessica wrote another reply: There have been some misunderstandings between us. I don’t want to continue this cold war that we’re having. I’d like to make a meal for him and have a nice chat with him. If he tries to blame you, I’ll stop him.

Upon reading what she wrote, the housekeeper hesitated for a moment before agreeing to take Jessica downstairs.

Jessica hadn’t taken a good look at the mansion when she came. Now that she was finally downstairs, she gave the place a thorough once-over and found that the mansion was luxurious and huge. Several housekeepers were busy downstairs, and there was a faint smell of perfume in the air.

Thinking that it had been sprayed by the housekeepers, she didn’t give much thought to it.

The double-door refrigerator was stocked to the brim with food and had everything. Because Jessica had only ever made a few dishes, she picked out some ingredients and tried her best to make Wyatt’s favorite foods.

While cooking, she felt dizzy from time to time. Her nose was also a little clogged.

Tamping down her discomfort, Jessica was able to whip up three dishes and a soup.

The housekeeper brought the food to the table for her and praised her, “The dishes look awesome and smell great! I’m sure Mr. Lopez will like the meal you personally cooked for him.”

Jessica merely pursed her lips and smiled in response.

As long as Wyatt doesn’t mind, I’ll be willing to cook him anything he wants.

Wiping her hands, Jessica was about to head out of the kitchen when a bout of dizziness hit her. Her knees buckled before she slumped to the floor.

“Ms. Marsh!” Upon seeing Jessica collapse to the floor, the housekeeper rushed over to help her.

Yawning, Gianna came downstairs while complaining, “What’s with all the commotion? It’s annoying how loud you’re being!”

When her eyes landed on Jessica, she almost shrieked in surprise.
