My Dear Captain

Running into her Ex-Boyfriend

"Pervert."

Selina thought of a perfect phrase to describe Jerome: a refined rascal.

Jerome only smiled and did not reply again. He and Selina often have conversations like this. Jerome took it as an interesting couple thing.

Jerome quite enjoyed these conversations and needed them.

"Have you heard of the news about the flight to City B tonight? Hank Peterson chartered the flight for his wife."

"Hank Peterson? The youngest entrepreneur of City B?"

Selina heard two flight stewardesses whispering, just as she entered the bathroom.

She was astounded and felt as if she was hit by lightning when she heard Hank's name.

"Yes. Hank's wife is pregnant. He worries that other captains might not be good enough and the turbulence might hurt his child. So he just bought out the time of the most awesome captain in our company tonight."

"Don't use the phrase 'bought out'. That sounds weird. Captain Harris will punish you if he hears it."

"Don't worry. We're in the ladies' room." The gossiper let out a long sigh and said, "Well, it must feel good to be rich. I wish I can find a husband as rich as Captain Harris...."

"Money is not important. I like Captain Harris' face. He's so cool and handsome!"

...

The sound of gossiping outside had disappeared, and it was so quiet in the bathroom that Selina could even hear her breathing clearly.

Selina locked herself in the bathroom for half an hour. She just sat on the toilet in a daze.

Some fragmentary scenes, as well as the cruel man's face, flashed before her eyes.

At that time, she was six months pregnant and was looking forward to the birth of her child with joy. She thought she was very lucky because she was pregnant with Hank's child after spending just one night with him...

However, he said, "Selina, it wasn't me who slept with you half a year ago. That was an investor of my company. Speaking of which, I have to say thank you to you. My company wouldn't have gone public so smoothly if you hadn't satisfied him...."

Four years had passed. She thought that she had completely forgotten about him. She did not expect that those memories, which she had buried for so long, would come back to her so easily just after she heard a single piece of news about him.

She was suffocating as if someone was strangling her!

At that moment, Selina's phone suddenly vibrated. She got a call from her mother, Tess Mullins.

Selina picked up the phone and Tess immediately began to scold her, "Did Jerome give you the money for this month? Maurice needs to go to the hospital tomorrow again... Why did you insist on keeping this child four years ago? He is not clever enough, and he is always sick. If it wasn't for that stupid rich Jerome, we'd all be dead because of the burden!"

Tess' voice was shrill. Selina was afraid that others might hear her mother, so she turned the volume down to the minimum and lowered her voice, "Stop it! That's your grandson you're talking about!"

How could she say that her grandson was a burden and was not clever enough?

"Am I wrong? In my opinion, you should just give this little fool back to Hank! Then you can just be Jerome's wife and feel at ease. And I can also enjoy my life with you." Tess said angrily.

Selina could only smile bitterly and said, "Mom, don't...."

Tess still thought that Maurice was Hank's child. But in fact, Maurice had nothing to do with Hank. Hank knew that better than anyone else.

Maurice's real father must be the investor that Hank had mentioned, though Selina still did not know who he was.

But she was also not interested in that. From the moment she made up her mind to give birth to Maurice, she had decided that Maurice was her child and hers alone.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Did you forget how the Peterson guy has done to you and your son? If it wasn't for him, the doctor wouldn't induce you. Maurice wouldn't have had to be in an incubator for half a year. Why couldn't I blame him for those things? Why did you sell yourself out to raise his son? Are you insane? Maybe Maurice is a fool because his mother is one!"

"Enough. I'll go back tomorrow morning. And I'll take Maurice to the hospital!" She hurriedly interrupted Tess and hung up the phone!

...

It was 8.15 p.m., and it was time for passengers to board the plane.

With a beautiful smile, Selina gracefully stood at the cabin door and waited for the VIPs to arrive.

Selina had imagined several possibilities that would happen when she met Hank and his wife, Paula at the boarding gate, but she didn't expect that they would go past her without even looking at her when they walked into the first class cabin while holding each other close.

Selina even greeted them sweetly, "Welcome aboard your flight with Rising Sun Airlines."

After Hank and Paula took their seats, Paula poked her head out first and looked suspiciously in the direction she walked in.

"What's wrong?" Hank gently stroked Paula's hair and asked softly.

"That flight stewardess looks like Selina." Paula's eyesight became worse after she was pregnant. There was some distance between them and Selina, so Paula could not be sure.

Hank froze for a moment before he said, "That's impossible. She died four years ago."

Selina lost a lot of blood during the early induction. A quack doctor sent her to the hospital, but she and her child died after all attempts to resuscitate them failed.

That had become the only nightmare Hank had over and over again in his life.

"Perhaps that's someone else." Paula turned her head back and changed the subject with a smile on her face. She stroked her belly with one hand and held Hank's arm with the other.

"Darling, who do you think our baby will look like? You or me?"

Selina closed the cabin door and the curtains, but that could not prevent her from hearing the harsh words Hank and Paula spoke.

She had also smiled at Hank and asked him those sweet questions before, but how Hank responded to her and how everything ended were very different.

She leaned against the cabin door in a cold sweat.

Jerome raised his hand to look at his watch. Even though it was a chartered flight and the passengers were already on board, he could not go to the runaway before the takeoff time,

He glanced at the monitor, and he didn't see Selina on the screen. He then took out his phone and texted her, "How do you feel when you run into your ex-boyfriend?"

Selina's thoughts stopped wandering when she sensed the vibration of her phone. When she saw Jerome's text, her heart skipped a beat.

So he knew everything.

Jerome knew that the passenger who chartered the flight was Hank, and he also knew the relationship between Hank and Selina. That was why Jerome had asked her to fly tonight.

Why?

Didn't he say that he did not care about her past?

Selina sniffed and used her slender fingers to send him a reply quickly, "I didn't know that Captain Harris would also feel jealous."

Jerome narrowed his eyes. He tapped the screen of his phone twice with his finger and pondered.

He got another text from Selina, "Don't forget the agreement we made when we got married. We should not ask each other's past or interfere with each other's businesses when it has nothing to do with 'our home'."

She was reminding him that their marriage was just marriage by contract.

Jerome snorted coldly. He thought that Selina had overestimated her place in his heart. Why on earth did she think she was qualified to remind him of that?

"I'm interested in nothing about you but your body."

To him, she was nothing more than a s*x partner.

That was what their relationship was like from the beginning. And it would not change in the future.

The more Paula thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. People could look alike, but they could rarely have the same voice.

She raised her hand and rang the service bell.
