Marina couldn’t figure out why Ryder was unhappy until she entered the restaurant and ordered the meal. She couldn’t stand the angry Ryder.
“I want to go to the bathroom.” Feeling guilty about being sized up by Ryder, she got Ryder’s approval and almost ran away.
“Wait a minute,” Ryder said.
He stuffed Nicole into her arms and said coldly, “Take her with you.”
Looking down at the big watery eyes of Nicole and looking up at the cold Ryder in the seat, Marina chose to take Nicole. The place with the Ryder was really stressful.
She strolled to the bathroom, took care of Nicole, and carefully washed Nicole’s hands.
“Marina, my god, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
The sharp and piercing sound made Marina extremely uncomfortable. She endured the pain and turned to look at the woman who came out of the bathroom. The woman looked about the same age as Marina. Her makeup was exquisite and her expression exaggerated.
This woman was very pretentious at first glance.
“Not too long,” Marina said slowly, wiping Nicole’s hands.
From the time Marina was grounded in the small house, they hadn’t seen each other for six months at most. The female lead had been with them almost every day before.
The fake woman in front of her was called Lola Zouch. She was one of the best friends of the female lead’s sisters, the daughter of a small business owner. She had to be covered with gold and silver jewels on every appearance.
“You haven’t attended our party for a long time,” She was sad and wanted to hold Marina, and said exaggeratedly, “You don’t know. Recently, there have been a lot of handsome guys. They are very energetic. I guarantee you will like them.”
Marina was shocked.
The only thing that the female lead’s sister group had to think about was where to go to play today, who to play with, how to spend the most money to find the biggest stimulation.
In addition, no matter where they went, they had to call all kinds of handsome men, and the female lead liked them very much.
As long as there was a new one, they would call Marina and ask her to tease him.
And the female lead was also particularly keen on this, ambiguous with all kinds of handsome men.
The more Marina thought about it, the more her head hurt. The female lead was so crazy. If she was Ryder, she would kill the female lead.
“Don’t look for me. I’m not interested,” Marina refused decisively. No matter how handsome the man was, she was not interested. She did not think anyone was more handsome than Ryder. Of course, the most important thing was she didn’t want to die.
It was not easy for her to ease her relationship with Ryder. For the sake of her life, she must stay away from those men.
She also had to stay away from these friends. She felt that the female lead’s misadventure had something to do with them.
“What’s the matter with you?” Lola looked at the indifferent Marina worriedly.
“I’m not interested in any men,” Marina raised her voice and refused.
Lola was shocked by Marina and looked at her with a grievance, “Well, you don’t have to be so loud.”
Marina gasped for breath. She only had to speak up a little for Lola to understand that she was not interested.
“Didn’t you say that if the husband is not strong enough, then find a new one?” Lola said.
Marina looked at Lola in disbelief.
Her mouth twitched and she asked uncertainly, “Did I say that before?”
“How can that be fake?” Lola puffed out her chest and said righteously, “You said that your marriage exists in name only. Anyway, you don’t love your husband. Of course, you have to have fun outside. When you divorce in the future, you can find the strongest handsome man.”
The female lead dared to say anything, no wonder she was killed so miserably by Ryder.
Marina stretched out her hand to stop Lola and said earnestly, “Don’t say this anymore.”
“What’s the matter?” Lola asked. To make up for Marina’s empty marriage life, they even found handsome men everywhere for her before.
“I’m going to turn over a new leaf,” Marina said.
“Didn’t you drink today?” Lola looked at Marina who was talking nonsense as if she was a lunatic.
She leaned forward and took a few sniffs. There was no alcohol smell. She wondered why Marina started to talk nonsense without drinking.
Pushing Lola away, Marina said solemnly, “You don’t have to call me for this kind of gathering.”
If Ryder found out, her life would be in danger.
It was better to stay away from these friends.
“Why?” Lola asked.
“I’m going to return to my family,” Marina said and pointed at Nicole in her arms.
“Stop joking.” Lola looked at Nicole in Marina’s arms. Her facial features were delicate and pretty, and her eyes were the most like Marina’s. They were almost carved from the same mold.
Nicole was cute, but they all knew how much Marina hated children. Every time she talked about Nicole, it was like Nicole was not her child. Her words were full of resentment. She said that it was Nicole who dragged her down.
Marina was the most aggressive and open-minded woman, always thinking about how to cheat on her husband. She suddenly said that she wanted to return to her family and be a good wife and mother. Lola didn’t believe that.
Marina knew that no one would believe her.
“Then where do you think I went in the past half year?” Marina explained patiently, “Of course, I stayed at home to help my husband and taught my daughter. I will develop feelings with my husband and daughter.”
“Really?” Lola looked suspiciously at Marina.
Marina nodded seriously and concluded, “So don’t call me anymore.”
“So it’s true.” Lola frowned. She still couldn’t figure out why Marina’s personality had suddenly changed. “But your husband wasn’t strong. You will be hard in the future.”
Marina coughed.
Nicole saw that Marina was coughing badly and reached out to pat her mother. She looked at Lola angrily.
“That … I was probably drunk before, so I casually said that,” Marina said.
“What made you suddenly want to return to your family?” Lola asked persistently.
Marina replied seriously, “Maybe my husband is too handsome!”
“Why is it so long?”
A low and magnetic male voice sounded. Lola turned her head and looked at the tall and handsome man who suddenly appeared in amazement.
His delicate facial features, coupled with his gentlemanly temperament, were truly the best man she had ever seen. In the past, those trash men were simply incomparable in front of him.
“Dad.”
Nicole’s clear voice pulled back Lola’s infatuated look. Lola watched in disbelief as Ryder carried Nicole away from Marina’s arms, then they left.
Marina had such a handsome husband who was still out looking for a man, Lola was very confused.
Maybe Ryder was too weak.
