Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

Chapter 209 207. Fool's Paradise

Gloria was lying in the bed pretending to be asleep while Liza was running some tests on her to figure out what was wrong with her.

'What's wrong with me? He is boyfrie….A friend…A boy my girl likes. How can I feel about him like that? It's not only completely immoral and unethical but also kinda hot… What's wrong with me?!!'

She was going through a crisis of her own. She did not understand why she was feeling this overwhelming sense of attraction towards the boy she laid her eyes on just now.

Before she met Alex and also though he was kinda handsome but she never paid any attention to him before but now it's totally different.

The moment she saw him, Her heart started racing, her body felt like it was dunk into the ice bath and then set on fire just to rise and repeat the same thing over and over again.

The desire she thought she long since forgotten was awakened in her, The primal instincts, The urge to have felt the warmth of the other sex in bed was just uncanny.

She knows that her feeling for a man even younger than her own daughter was wrong but the moment she thought that other than the flame of desire extinguish and let shame wash over herself.

She felt the endless desire, He being the friend of her own daughter not only decreased the desire for him in her heart but rather amplified it to the extreme like she just ate ecstasy.

If not for the fact she was weak because the sickness made her very weak, She was not sure if she was able to hold herself back from bouncing on his body like a hungry wolf on the sheep.

She now fears the safety of an innocent man like Alex being near her much less she might lose her control and do something unthinkable.

'But it's not that bad right? I saw the look he just gave me now, Maybe he also has feelings for me, If so there might be…No no what I am thinking? I am not in my prime now, I am an old woman with a child of his age, He definitely is not like me…

But maybe he is into older women? There is a chance right? Should I talk to Grace about this? Or maybe… No! Shut up Gloria he is just a child…Well technically he is an adult, right? Ahhh!!'

Gloria once again started thinking of what could be and tried to stop herself from thinking about the forbidden fruit but the other part of her heart already prepared the reason for all the points she raised up till now.

Yeah there are various such men who are into older women and a fraction of them are actually attracted to them and not just there for money but in any case there are men who go after older women.

She started thinking about what if Alex is in that fraction of men! Wouldn't that be good for her and solve her all the worries? That will make her unstable heart calm down.

"What's wrong now? Why do heartbeats shoot up again?" contemporary romance

Here Liza looked at the heart monitor which was going all over the place. This made her so frustrated that she wanted to start throwing fists.

She checked thoroughly, She went against the medical advice and checked and tested all the things that might cause these changes in Gloria but no one came back positive.

Not even a false positive, All reports show Gloria is healthy as a horse, This made Liza relaxed slightly and now her BP started to acting weird, She who took pride in fact no one is close to being good in medical field then her didn't know what to do right now but she was too prideful to accept it.

Hence there were other samples being sent to the lab and get reports overnight. She was ready to spend her night sleepless then to sleep knowing that she failed to find a cause.

Gloria was not even aware of what harm she was causing poor old Lolita, She was still in her dreamland struggling over if Alex liked her or not, She was even okay with him being at least interested in her.

'His eyes didn't lie, He was interested in me for sure…or I am just thinking like that because I wanted to believe such…but that can't be right, right? I am not that shallow of a woman, I have been absent for more than 2 decades, Lust can't affect me like that, He definitely has attraction for me.'

Gloria once again started a struggle she herself finished, Her heart being torn apart, she knows she in reality can't be with Alex, Even if she ignores the view of society but there is still Grace who is helplessly in love with Alex.

But for while she did not want to think of that, The fantasy she created is a lot more comfortable then sad and alone reality she knows what's waiting for her.

Yeah, she knows this is a fool's paradise but may it be fools it is at least paradise where her heart is not being torn apart of wanting to choose between a mischievous boy who stole her heart or her own flesh and blood daughter.

'*Sigh* Why does it always happen to me? First with family and now this? WAIT!? If I go back to them doesn't that mean Grace will receive most of the luxury of the world? If that happens, I can also ask a selfish request of mine from her and she might not even deny it.'

Gloria suddenly remembered there is still her estranged family, Which holds enough power to provide Grace with everything she needs without having her to struggle to get the simple books needed to study.

Of course, there was a hidden motive behind her decision, That is to ask permission from her daughter to chase Alex, As she knows her body yearns for him now the moment he touches her.

'Hope everything moves swiftly without unexpected events.'

Gloria finally coming to the answer she was searching for all this while stopped her thought process, She will call her family the moment she get a chance tomorrow.

...

*Shiver*

"What was that? Is that dumbass Rose near me?"

Alex was in the waiting room napping when suddenly shivered out of nowhere as goosebumps made his hair stand up.

He looked around worried, fearing the walking plague of stupidity might have come here, But to his relief he didn't see anyone making him go back to continue his nap.

This shows there was still little aftereffect of Rose's stupidity on him, Just hope he will be prepared for what is coming next.
