“I have no reason to answer your question.” I remained calm.
He frowned. “Do you really hate me, so you don’t even want to tell me the truth?”
I sipped my lips. “I really don’t like you, but I don’t hate you. To me, you are no different from other people in the company.”
He looked at me with a little sadness in his eyes. Seeing his pathetic appearance, I felt sorry and took my eyes away from him. “I have finished talking. Can you send me back? I don’t want Mr. Quincy to wait for too long.”
After a moment of silence, he started the car and prepared to leave.
Back to the construction site, he said a word before I got off the car, “I hope you can seriously consider my words. If one day that you will change your mind, I am still willing to take you away.”
I sipped my lips and smiled, “You and I are people from two worlds. Even if I really want to leave one day, I won’t find you. You still have to find your true love.”
I got out of the car, closed the door, and walked towards Mr. Quincy. Before I reached Mr. Quincy, my cell phone rang. I looked down at the caller number I didn’t know him or her, but I didn’t answer it.
Less than a minute later, my phone rang again, and it is the same number. I thought about it and picked up my cell phone.
On the other line of the phone, a man’s voice came. It turned out to be Echo’s fiancé Solomon. He wanted me to help persuade Cheney to invest in him, but I refused directly.
When I met Solomon for the first time, I didn’t feel good, because he was speaking casually to me since he recognized me as Cheney’s wife. He named me a rich wife, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
If it weren’t for Echo, I wouldn’t have finished the meal there. Echo probably noticed this, after we separated, Echo apologized to me. Now it seems that my feeling is correct. I hope he is sincere when he treats Echo.
After working in the afternoon, I took a taxi back to the Leaf Court when my cell phone rang. It was Echo who called. She called to apologize, and I told her I didn’t take it seriously. After talking with her for a while, I hung up.
I had just gone downstairs when I was suddenly stopped by a group of people rushing out from the side. I was so anxious that I took a few steps back. What’s going on here? How did a reporter find this place?
I was about to run, but I was surrounded by people. A reporter held a microphone with a website logo and asked, “Miss Krista, I haven’t heard from you all these years. Have you stayed in City A?”
“Miss Krista, can you tell me about your current marriage relationship with Mr. Cheney?”
“Miss Krista, some media broke the news that Mr. Cheney has a new lover around him. What do you think of this matter?”
“Why do you live here alone?”
A series of questions make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. How did these reporters know that she lived here? I was pressured by this group of reporters, but fortunately, Cheney came to rescue me.
Cheney sent someone to find out who leaked my place of residence. It turned out to be Echo’s fiancé Solomon. I found that this person was not a good character. Cheney checked it.
I didn’t expect this person to be a playboy. While falling in love with Echo, he had many bed companions. About this matter, I know Echo really moved his heart this time. I don’t know how to tell her so as not to hurt her.
On the other hand, this containment also forced me to go back to live in Fischer’s mansion with Cheney. Walking through the door of the Fischer family again, I felt different from the previous visits to Grandpa and Grandma. At that time, I didn’t plan to live there, so I felt comfortable but now, I felt uneasy.
Cheney’s car pulled up in front of the Jade Court’s backyard. I hesitated and said, “I’m not fit to live here now. Can you arrange somewhere else for me?”
“There is no place for you to live in the Fischer’s mansion except here.”
“I…”
He got off directly, went around to my door, opened the door, and said, “Get off.”
I hesitated and didn’t move. He bent over and took her head straight out of the car.
I exclaimed, “Hey, what are you doing? Put me down, and I will go by myself.”
“I just gave you a chance but you don’t go by yourself. Now, I’ve decided. It’s too late.”
After a while, we returned to our room. Cheney walked to the bathroom door, and someone’s knocking on the door. “Young Master, Miss Flora is here.”
I looked at Cheney. How do you have the tension of being caught cheating? Obviously, Cheney and I didn’t do anything.
Cheney was very calm, walking to the door, and said to me, “I’ll go and have a look.”
I nodded.
Cheney’s POV
When I went downstairs, Flora smiled at me and said, “Cheney, I just made a snack for you. Give it a try.”
I nodded and let the servant serve it. “Don’t do such a thing that can hurt you next time.”
“I was bored. So, I made some snacks in the afternoon and sent them to my grandparents. This food was just out of the pot and specially made for you.”
I replied, “Okay, I’ll eat later, and you should go back to rest early.”
Flora smiled at me and looked upstairs. “When I came in just now, I heard someone was talking… Is Miss Krista back?”
I said calmly, “Yes, I just took her back.”
She nodded. “Well… bring this snack to Miss Krista, and I won’t disturb your rest. Good night.”
“I’ll find someone to take you back.”
“No, no, just go back carefully,” Flora said and turned away.
