Now that Fiona had returned, Nigel felt overwhelmed.
Anne gently asked, "Nigel, what's wrong? Are you feeling ill again? Why don't you sit down and let me massage your head?"
Nigel often suffered from headaches, so Anne had even learned how to massage from a professional.
However, Nigel refused. "I need to meet Fiona for lunch. I'll head to my study first."
With that, he headed upstairs.
As Anne watched him leave, her heart was filled with jealousy and frustration. When the Jakeman and Hampton families had united through marriage, Fiona had captured Nigel's attention with her bright and bold personality.
Despite his calm exterior, Fiona had drawn him in.
For the years Fiona disappeared, Nigel had tirelessly searched for her and their daughter. He never stopped looking.
Meanwhile, Anne had stayed by his side all this time, yet she had received nothing in return. She was unwilling to accept this. With Fiona's return, their rivalry was about to start again.
Years ago, Anne had defeated Fiona once, and now, she was determined to win again.
