This was Dorothy’s innate nature. With just a glance, she was certain that the woman who was being so intimate with Credence was Melanie.
Dorothy felt as though her heart had been fiercely pierced by a bullet, and blood flowed out of her.
She saw Melanie wrap her hands around Credence’s neck, and her lipstick-stained lips were touching his chin.
She even heard Melanie speaking in a soft and husky voice, “Credence, don’t go home tonight. Let’s talk about the old days and have s*x, what do you think? Ten days ago, you promised to celebrate my birthday and spend the night with me. You must keep your promise.”
“Credence, I’m certain you’ll give me an unforgettable night!”
Dorothy finally understood. Ten days ago, Credence had agreed to have a romantic night with Melanie. This was why he didn’t come to see her in the hospital for such a long time. In fact, he never showed up once.
It was because he was spending all his time with Melanie.
Dorothy stared at Credence’s squinted eyes, he looked like he was enjoying this beautiful woman who had thrown herself into his arms. Drops of blood slowly oozed out of her heart. Dorothy was numb from the pain, and a ridiculous idea came to her mind.
If Credence was the type of man who would flirt with other women behind her back, then what right did he have to try to defend their broken love?
Germaine couldn’t take it anymore. She kicked the door open, grabbed Dorothy and rushed in. She scolded him fiercely, “F*ck you, Credence, you f*cking b*stard, how dare you f*ck around with another woman behind Dory’s back? You are even planning on sleeping with this b*tch? You are so utterly disgusting!”
Belle had no idea what was going on, she didn’t know why her mother and godmother had left her by herself. Feeling slightly dazed, she trotted over, but Wilson, who had just arrived, picked her up and handed her to Jeremy. He smiled cheekily and said, “Boss, Madam, and Dorothy’s mothers are sisters, so this little girl must be your niece, right? Come, Belle, call him uncle. He’ll give you a lollipop if you do.”
“Mommy says my health isn’t very good, so I can’t eat junk food.”
When Belle saw Wilson with his goofy smile, she rolled her eyes and hugged Jeremy. She grabbed his collars with her little pale arms, and her face was full of joy, “So you are my uncle. Haha, I’m so happy. I knew it, you are a good person, you are just like my godmother.”
Jeremy hated small children who would cry or act coquettishly. He grabbed Belle’s neck with his strong hands and was about to throw her mercilessly onto the ground.
However, after Belle said that he was the same as Germaine, he slowly loosened his grip on her and sneered, “You are young, but you sure know how to talk. You’re not like Credence, or Dorothy. I really don’t f*cking know whose genes you inherited.”
Wilson came over and said in a low voice, “Boss, she’s just like you.”
“F*ck off!”
Jeremy kicked Wilson to the ground with his long legs. Belle was amused and laughed as she clapped her hands.
Hearing her laugh, Jeremy fixed his wild and evil eyes on her thin and drooped face.
She had an annoying little face, big blue eyes, tender skin, a tall nose bridge, and a small mouth. For some reason, she looked just like him. She had bright eyes, they looked nothing like Leilani’s at all. However, she looked kind of similar to her selfish mother.
What the f*ck? Why was this little girl who was only barely related to him somewhat likable?
A thought flashed through Jeremy’s mind. Just as he was about to get a grasp on it, the thought vanished.
He could tell she was suffering from leukemia, and with the last tiny bit of conscience in his heart, he asked Wilson to order a hearty kid’s meal for her.
…
Even though the second floor was empty, it had plenty of romantic decorations.
Germaine pulled Dorothy inside the room, and her eyes unexpectedly met with Credence’s.
There was a whole mess of indescribable emotions flowing about in his deep and narrow eyes, however, the first thing she noticed was panic.
Would such a ruthless man like him still be afraid of his secrets being exposed?
“Credence, Germaine invited Belle and me to dine in this restaurant. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Just pretend that we’re not here, you two can… go ahead.”
Before Melanie could turn around and look at her, Dorothy tried her best to keep her body from trembling. She controlled her emotions and tried to prevent the pain she felt from showing.
This woman was tall and slender, she had a coquettish face too. With every move, she exuded tons of charm, which would instantly provoke a man’s most primitive desire. No wonder Credence didn’t have time to visit her and Belle at the hospital.
The pain from her heart was unbearable, Dorothy almost cried. However, she only pursed her lips tightly and spoke calmly. She said that she didn’t care at all.
Credence pushed Melanie away and stood up. He stared at Dorothy. She may look weak, but she was tougher than a rock. When he didn’t see any signs of pain from her snow-white face, he felt cold sweat running down his limbs. His heart felt like it was being stabbed by a sharp knife, and the pain was suffocating.
He really wasn’t expecting this. Dorothy should have been taken care of by Juelz in the hospital. But now she’s here with Belle and Germaine, she even saw him flirting with Melanie.
Credence opened his mouth, it looked like he wanted to explain. However, Dorothy wouldn’t even look at him. She turned and walked out. She stomped off in her high heels.
Every step she took felt like a stab on Credence’s heavy heart, his frown deepened.
As Dorothy walked out, she turned to Germaine. Her voice was just as gentle and elegant as usual, “Germaine, where is the room you booked?”
She was just about to ask where Belle was until she saw her standing at the door. Belle was tightly clinging onto Jeremy’s trousers with one hand while drinking some soup that Wilson was feeding her.
When she saw Dorothy looking at her, she waved her hands happily and said, “Mommy, I’m over here.”
“Yes, I see you.” Dorothy hurried out and noticed that Jeremy had deliberately asked Belle to stand in a blind spot. Hence, she couldn’t see what Credence and Melanie were doing inside. She could not help but smile gratefully at him. “Mr. Sherman, thank you.”
Jeremy ignored her thanks. He licked his lips and glanced at Germaine with an evil gaze. “Don’t be in such a hurry to thank me. I might need your help in the future.”
Dorothy was keenly aware of what he meant, but she just smiled without saying a word.
“Dory, are you leaving already? Come back! If anyone has to leave, it has to be that shameless b*tch!” Germaine gritted her teeth and shouted, “Credence, you b*stard, why do you treat her like this? You’ve hurt her over and over again, you keep stabbing her heart with knives. Back then, it was Rosalie, and now it’s this b*tch. Aren’t you disgusted by her behavior?”
Melanie was casually watching the scene with great interest. She was waiting to see Dorothy rush up to her like a shrew and to make a fuss when she saw her kissing him. If so, Credence would then see the kind of woman he married.
Unexpectedly, this ordinary woman pretended to not have seen anything. Not only was she composed and avoided making a fool of herself, she even stood there calmly and asked them to continue. Melanie had underestimated her.
Observing Dorothy feigning generosity, Melanie assumed that she was playing hard to get.
However, such a simple tactic was enough to make Credence fix his gaze on her the moment she entered the room. He was reluctant to look away.
Melanie’s pupils suddenly shrank, as she was lambasted by this shrew who had entered with Dorothy, and her calm face turned glum.
Melanie felt that she should vent her jealousy and hatred on Germaine.
Melanie shouted, “B*tch, you are courting death!”
Melanie suddenly jumped to Germaine’s side like a poisonous snake, reached out her hand, and grabbed Germaine’s neck with breakneck speed. Then, she swung her away with all her strength.
Before Germaine even had time to scream, she was thrown towards the window!
