Chapter 1645:
Jules lit a cigarette, drew deeply on it, and exhaled his reply through wisps of smoke. “I'll head back later.”
“Alright.”
Upon returning to the Ford Mansion, Corrine discovered Jayden, Chelsea, and Waldo lounging on the living room
sofas.
Harmony enveloped the space as the family sipped coffee and deliberated over the intricate details of Jules”
forthcoming wedding. Chelsea dominated the conversation with unbridled enthusiasm, while Jayden and Carl
contributed little more than attentive silence. Chelsea’s animated expressions betrayed her unmistakable
approval of Rachel.
Corrine lingered briefly, exchanged a meaningful glance with Waldo, and then quietly slipped away.
Drifting toward the veranda, she pressed her palms against the cool balustrade, her gaze drawn to the
meticulously pruned pine trees standing sentinel in the courtyard.
Sunlight painted them as dignified gentlemen, yet darkness transformed them into looming beasts. Their dual

“Are you two still giving each other the silent treatment?”
Waldo’s lips pressed into a thin line, his jaw hardening visibly—silent confirmation of her question.
She had thought that after the bar fight, the two would take advantage of Waldo’s recovery tto reconcile.
In her experience with and TV s, an injury typically provided the perfect opportunity for estranged
couples to heal their emotional wounds alongside their physical ones.
But these two seemed determined to break every romantic convention.
Propping her chin with one hand, Corrine sighed softly. Clearly, Waldo’s path back to Jolene’s heart would be long
and arduous.
Frustration tinged Waldo’s voice as he asked,
“Why don’t you call her and ask where she is?”
