“Really, Dolly, I called Leon’s name last night?” On the bed, Skyler looked at her and asked in a low voice, with a hint of lack of breath in his tone.
“Yes, shouted very loudly.” Dolly replied.
“I just want a drink, and every time I drink with Leon it hurts the most.” Skyler continued.
Dolly knew that at this point she and Leon had become good buddies, so naturally she wouldn’t be too shy in front of him, and Leon would be even less shy about her.
“Come on, hurry home, explain to Stephen, last night you were really too much!” Dolly muttered while getting dressed.
At this time, Skyler’s face, there has been a little bit of guilt and helplessness.
“I’m just worried, why can’t he understand me a little.” She murmured.
This woman, how could she suddenly become so ungrateful? Stephen was already understanding enough!
“The phone is ringing.” Dolly looked at the table next to her and said.
“When are you coming back? I want to have a good talk with you.” On the phone, the man said softly, afraid that the woman felt unhappy with herself.
“I’m still at the hotel.” Skyler replied.
Then, there was a silence. How she wished this man could come and pick her up, but Stephen was still busy with his work right now.
“I’ll wait for you to come home.” With that, the man hung up the phone.
The “beep” sound in her ear made her a little disappointed.
“What’s wrong again? What did he say?” Dolly immediately asked.
“He said he wanted to talk to me, Dolly, will you walk me home? I’m scared.” Skyler said with a trembling voice.
What was there to be afraid of? It was his husband! How could she suddenly become so insecure? And moving around to suspect her husband of having someone outside.
“Okay, I will accompany you!” With that, Dolly put on her shoes.
She didn’t know why the woman in front of her had suddenly become so sensitive, but she was willing to accompany this sister to slowly become better.
“Madam is back.” The housekeeper immediately greeted her, rushing to greet her.
Stephen was still in the living room, crackling the keyboard with an eager and serious look. He didn’t feel anything different around him, perhaps he was too involved.
“Stephen,” Skyler called softly as he stood next to him.
“Back, hold on, I’ll be done soon.” The man didn’t even look up and said directly.
The two women walked to the side and sat down, waiting for Stephen to finish his work.
Finally, less than half an hour later, the man turned off his computer.
“Dolly’s here too?” Stephen looked at the woman next to him and greeted.
Dolly just smiled at her and didn’t say anything.
“Honey, what do you want to talk to me about?” Skyler asked, speaking up.
“Skyler, can you tell me exactly what’s been going on with you lately?” He asked directly.
Looking at her beloved husband in front of her, Skyler didn’t know how to answer the question. She loved this man so much that she would fear every day that he would be taken away from her.
“Nothing on my mind.” She answered immediately.
“You don’t trust me?” Stephen continued to ask.
At this point, Skyler lowered her head and stopped talking.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust this man, it’s just that she doesn’t trust those pretty young girls in society nowadays. Nowadays, women are much more active than men, and get on the top that is played with a set.
“Honey, I don’t distrust you, I just …” Skyler said hesitantly.
“Just what?”
“Just insecure.” She finally managed to speak up.
Stephen looked at the woman in front of him and drew in a breath of cold air.
“Then tell me, what exactly do I have to do to make you feel safe?”
Stephen asked seriously, it was clear that he too wanted to address the doubts and insecurities in Skyler’s mind. Of course, this is what a man should do, and it is also an obligation that must be done.
“Actually, I just want you to care for me a little bit more, take care of me a little bit more, and also, see me more.” Skyler said in a soft voice.
“Okay, I know, then I will try to go home early after work, okay? I’ll put off all my social engagements, okay?” Stephen asked.
He was really intolerant, for so long, he had been putting up with this woman’s suspicion, but neglected a kind of coldness he had towards her, and now, since this woman had spoken up, he should naturally try to correct it.
“Really?” Suddenly, Skyler asked excitedly.
Next to Dolly, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart burst with relief, it seems, this Stephen, still quite sensible!
“Then I’ll go first.” Said, Dolly is about to get up and leave.
“No, Dolly, you stay with me a little longer.” The woman next to her tugged her arm tightly and said in a low voice.
I don’t know why, looking at Skyler’s so aggrieved and lovely appearance, Dolly suddenly very heartbroken.
What exactly had she gone through to become so vulnerable?
“Okay, I’ll stay with you a little longer.” After saying that, Dolly then sat down again.
“Did something happen to her before?” Dolly asked Stephen.
“Some time ago, the child fell down from the stairs and was later caught by the housekeeper, there was nothing serious wrong with the child, but she had a problem.” Stephen sighed and answered.
“It was from that time that she became restless and anxious and paranoid.” The man continued.
So that’s what happened! Dolly looked at Skyler who was working in the kitchen, and there was a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
“Ma’am, I’ll do it.” The maid immediately ran to Skyler and said, with a slightly worried expression.
“No, don’t worry, I’ll do it.” Skyler replied at the maid, waving her hand.
“I know, then I won’t bother you guys here, I’ll go first, call me if you need anything.”
“Thanks for your trouble!” Stephen said from behind.
The blue sky, cotton candy-like white clouds drifting with the wind, Dolly looked up and closed her eyes, feeling the breeze.
It was a beautiful day! She breathed a deep sigh of relief, if only the day could be this relaxing all the time.
“Dolly!” It’s him again! My God! The woman pounded her head hard with her right hand, trying to keep herself awake.
“Where have you been?” Jayden asked anxiously.
“I went to find Skyler, what’s wrong?” She asked directly.
“Join us for dinner?” He cocked his head and spoke up!
Dolly looked at her watch. Well, it wasn’t early.
“I have to go home, I have things to take care of, so I’ll go first.”
