Since Aunt Xu was not at home, it was Monique who took care of Melissa.
She carefully wiped her sister’s body and helped her onto the bed. Melissa asked, “Huo Culver, what are you doing here?”
“It’s just that we often talk about the old problem. Do you think it’s possible to reunite with me? In fact, I think he’s quite ridiculous. After marrying a rich woman, he became a coward from beginning to end. What’s more ridiculous is that he wants to find the masculine temperament that has been lost for a long time in me. Do you think I’m like a lamb?”
Melissa stretched out her slender hand and took her sister’s hand. “Sister, maybe we were blind at that time and thought that Brucille was not a good man. But since I moved in, I found out that what I thought of him before was on one side.”
Monique did not expect her elder sister to say such a thing. Now, she wanted to see who was the real jerk with just one glance of Huo Culver and Brucille.
“Yes, it should be that when I was possessed, Huo Culver didn’t even deserve to carry Brucille’s shoes.”
“Monique, from your radiant face, I can tell that you’ve made substantial progress. Congratulations.”
Fortunately, her elder sister was the only one in the room. Even so, she still felt very embarrassed when she spoke of the private affairs between the couple.
“Sister, just call me if you need anything. I’ll go to rest if there’s nothing else.”
“All right!”
Melissa watched Monique leave the room. The expression on her face was not as gentle as before, and it was cold and scary.
She turned over her body on the bed and opened a album. The album was old, and the first one she opened was a photo of the two sisters. They were about two or three years old. Both of them were very happy and sat on a bench in the park.
When she opened it again, she looked like seven or eight years old. This should be on the park’s Yaya boat. The same style of flowery skirts were very beautiful on the two sisters.
However, the next photo was a group photo of two sisters and a boy. They looked like 17 or 18 years old. According to their age, they were probably in high school.
But Monique’s face was smeared with dark ink on this photo.
Melissa stroked this somewhat young boy and said, “Zuo Xiangming thought that you didn’t have a good taste. When I liked you, you actually liked my sister. My growth was much better than hers, so you didn’t get anyone of us. However, at that time, I loved you so much that I liked you to sweat on the basketball court…”
After enjoying it, Melissa put the album under the pillow again and fell asleep quietly. But not long after she closed her eyes, she dreamed back to the afternoon decades ago.
In the grove at the back hill of the school, she held Zuo Xiangyang’s hand and confessed to him because she was going to graduate from senior high school. However, Zuo Xiangyang slapped her away and refused sternly.
She even claimed that she would only love Monique and would be admitted into the same school as her.
Melissa’s heart was broken during the whole afternoon. She kept turning left Xiangming and even did something out of line to make love.
However, Zuo Xiangming not only refused her, but also insulted her with more fierce words, such as the low and stinky.
Shameless…
From then on, they were like strangers. Every time Melissa thought of this, she would cry when she saw Zuo Xiangming’s eyes.
Melissa, who was sleeping, sobbed softly.
Ring, ring, ring.
The sound of the phone woke her up. She wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, took a long breath and opened the phone. She found that it was already over 3 o’clock in the morning from Aunt Xu.
“Aunt Xu, why are you calling so late?”
“Meng, Melissa, please help me. I can’t get through to the unusual phone. Something happened to the Wenxiu. Something, something happened.”
Melissa was already in a daze, and now she was completely awake. Aunt Xu cried hard on the phone. It seemed that something serious had happened.
She shouted, “Monique, Monique.”
When Meng Han, who was sleeping next door, heard his sister call him, she quickly got up from the bed. Her voice sounded extremely anxious.
“What happened, sister? What happened?”
“Hurry up and answer the phone. Aunt Xu, something seems to have happened to her daughter. She is crying so hard that she can’t even speak clearly. She is looking for Brucille.”
Monique quickly picked up the phone and asked, “Aunt Xu, take your time to explain. What happened to your daughter?”
“When I came to find my daughter, she was missing. I thought she had gone with a classmate, but in fact, she was not. She was a hooligan in society. I just called her when I arrived at the location. She said she was in this community. But I came to the place where there was no one at all. Now I couldn’t get through to the phone. I suspected that she had been kidnapped.”
“Aunty, listen to this kidnapping, you have to call the police. The earlier you call the police, the safer it will be.”
“I’ve done it. I’m afraid. Monique, what do you think I should do?”
Brucille took the phone and comforted, “Auntie, don’t worry. Tell me the address and I am rushing over overnight. The situation may not be as complicated as you think. Maybe her phone is dead for the time being. You need to find a way to contact our daughter. I am going now, okay?”
Brucille looked at his own phone and Aunt Xu called him six or seven times. But when he was sleeping, the phone was silent and he didn’t hear it at all. Fortunately, there was no life-threatening event, otherwise, he would be very guilty.
After hanging up, he said to Monique, “No matter what, Aunt has paid a lot of money in our family. It’s not easy for her to bring two children alone. It’s more convenient for me to drive your car.”
“There are so many sales and marketing organizations nowadays, and they’re purposely lying to girls like her who don’t study hard and wander around on the streets. When we get there, just leave everything to the police. Don’t stick your neck out.”
Monique’s performance really moved Brucille. He held his wife tightly and said, “Don’t worry. My fists are almost the same as Tai Shan’s, and I am not afraid of ordinary people.”
Monique said impatiently, “It’s no use pushing yourself with your fists alone. You have to be sure that your head is as hard as Mount Tai. Otherwise, when you suffer, remember what I said and be careful on your way.”
“Okay, don’t worry, mom and dad. I’ll be back soon.”
Brucille stepped on the accelerator and left the yard of the Ching family. When he was sleeping at night, he looked at Aunt Xu’s room. He always felt uneasy and did not expect that something would happen in the middle of the night.
Ten minutes later, Brucille went straight to the highway. There was no car on the highway at this time. Through the wisdom of navigation map, he reminded himself that in some places without surveillance facilities, he had some suspicion of speeding up.
Finally, he reached his destination in three and a half hours.
