C206 (2/2)

”Where do you want to go?”

”Going home.”

”Which house?”

He meant something.

”What do you think?”

I didn't want to argue with him, so I raised my head and looked at him coldly.

”I'm warning you one last time, I don't want to see you meet with that man again. Otherwise, I will make you regret your decision.”

He looked at me, his eyes burning.

”If this is your way of retaliating against me, I accept.”

I opened the door and went out myself as he pulled at my clothes.

I drove all the way, lost in thought.

His lips felt as if they were being ripped apart. The corners of his mouth twitched nonstop and his throat was burning in pain.

Not only that, but the physical fatigue made me more sleepy.

When I got back, I didn't do anything, just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, I received an unnamed text message on my cell phone.

”I'm very sorry about what happened yesterday. Can you come out today? I want to apologize to you in person.”

I thought about it for a moment, then refused.

I still have some lingering fear from what Jiang Yu said yesterday.

He had said that if I met Ming Yu again, he would deal with me. I didn't want to be separated from the child again.

Besides, I don't want to be a woman like 14.

Their relationship had nothing to do with me, but if they were separated because of me, then what was the difference between me and the person who had destroyed my family?

These things have been turned over for me, and I don't want to be bothered.

For me now, children were my only hope of living, and without them I would have been insulted enough to die several times over.

With that in mind, I sighed and walked out of my room.

His mouth still ached from yesterday's incident, so he could hardly eat.

I made myself some porridge, but even as I drank it, my throat still hurt. I don't think I'll be able to eat properly for the next two days.

I felt a little uncomfortable, whether it was my body or my heart. In short, the scars on my body became the marks of my greatest humiliation.

Sometimes I even think that if he does that to me the next time, I'll die with him!

In any case, all the disputes between him and I have become a mess. I can't get rid of them, so why don't we go to the underworld together and die together!

But then it occurred to me that the child was too young for me to let him lose his parents at such a young age.

I know better than anyone how pathetic a parentless child can be!

I can't let the child go my way!

Therefore, I had no choice but to live my life in secret. Maybe when the child grows up a little bit more, I can take care of myself. I might really choose to walk that path …

Everyone at the table was silent. I knew that they must have known what had happened to me, but they did not say anything about it. It was their respect for me and their only way to preserve their pathetic pride.

As for the kiss marks on my body, none of them asked, or if I went out suddenly one night, or where, they would only look at each other and then fall silent.

I'm grateful to them.

At least they were willing to play the part with me, to preserve my remaining pride.
