For Jessica, there was lots of benefit to be Hurley’s mistress. Hurley paid off all the money her father owed, bought her a house, and gave her a lot of money every month.
Jessica, who was ready to kill herself, abandoned her dignity and gave in to the money, the origin of all evils.
Just as an old Chinese saying goes, living in the world is always better than to die.
Therefore Jessica didn’t need to be hard-working for money and wanted to concentrate on her study.
However, Hurley was too energetic every night. When they were having sex, he had different ways to torture her. Jessica could do nothing but sleep in class. Thus she failed to focus on her study and learned nothing.
Thinking of her own history full of difficulties, Jessica couldn’t help looking at Hurley, and complained, “That I didn’t do well in my study was because of you.”
“Well, I have to be responsible for it, or I’ll find you a tutor.” Hurley replied with an evil smile.
Jessica shut up immediately. She acknowledged that she was just Hurley’s mistress and couldn’t complain in such way.
Hurley didn’t smile very much with his picturesque appearance. Every time he smiled, Jessica knew he was unhappy and unsatisfied with her behaviors. Jessica, who has been a mistress for three years, was understandable about what his expressions meant. When he smiled, she would pretend to be very cute and innocent.
Hurley took her to a fancy restaurant for a candlelit dinner. Jessica focused too much on the delicious dishes.
“What are we celebrating today?”
Hurley’s extremely beautiful but cold eyes were staring at her. His handsome face was still expressionless, giving her a strong sense of oppression.
Jessica thought for several seconds and guessed.
“Did you make a big deal? Is your company’s anniversary? Or is the birthday of your grandparents or parents, uncles or aunts? Are you pregnant?”
After hearing these, Hurley’s white hand patted on the table. Jessica was so frightened by him that she realized that she had said something wrong.
She quickly made up for it. “Is the dog pregnant…”
“We have met each other for three years.” Hurley said.
Jessica was surprised to hear such words. It was also unexpected for Hurley to celebrate the sudden third anniversary, instead of the first or the second anniversary.
On the driving to come back home, it was unnecessary to turn on the air conditioner in the car. But sitting near Hurley, Jessica felt there was a kind of chill which could freeze her to death.
Jessica, with her head leaning on one side, looked at the expressionless handsome face and dared not speak. She only stared at him with the watery eyes, with touching expression.
Hurley pulled his necktie and said, “Can’t you move your eyes?”
“I can’t. I want to see you all my life.”
There was a mild smile on Hurley’s face. How beautiful his smile was! Jessica just felt that her spirits had lost in that smile.
Later Jessica realized that her skill of flattering him was improved a lot.
She admitted that Hurley was really good-looking. He was just like the gold shining everywhere and could attract much attention whenever he appeared. Why did he choose her?
Jessica tried to out why. Maybe under the arrangement of his family, Hurley could do nothing but married the daughter from another rich family. Although his wife was beautiful enough, her nature was cold and arrogant. Although they had been married, what they pursued was totally different. So he looked for a mistress.
A girl with no strong points like herself could only listen to all his trouble gently beside him.
The more Jessica thought about it, the more she admitted her guess was real. Otherwise, how could they have been together for three years? She hasn’t been slapped by his wife so far.
