"Mr Edgar!" a child shouted.Edgar, facing forward, looking at the building, immediately approached. Edgar wiped away his tears. He took a moment to catch his breath before finally turning around to look at the child who had called out to him earlier."What's wrong, Fi? Aren't you coming to eat cake?" asked Edgar."Neither did you," said Fifi - one of the orphanage children.Edgar tried to smile. "The cake is for you all.""You brought it too. You can eat it too. Eating together is better, you know."Edgar was stunned. He was speechless at the words of the six-year-old in front of him."Are you crying?" asked Fifi.Edgar looked at Fifi. "No, really."Without being asked, Fifi wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Edgar's eyes. As one of the children in the orphanage who had been cared for from infancy, Fifi knew Edgar well. The little girl loves it when Edgar comes around. Edgar is her favourite donor because he wants to play together, unlike other donors who only send mon
"Lissa... don't listen to that bastard!" Cassie shouted. She was sick of dealing with Fritz, and looking at Elissa, whose mind was in turmoil, she would do whatever Fritz asked."That's right, Lissa. Don't listen to this maniac!" exclaimed Ami, not to be outdone. She also wanted to avoid seeing Elissa dealing with Fritz again. After what he did in Lebanon, the man was bound to do something crazy again.Fritz hissed. His ears burned from hearing the ravings of useless people. "Stuff their mouths!" said Fritz.Instantly, the people who came with Fritz grabbed Ami and Cassie. There were four of them, and they were split into two pairs. Each of them held one person. As Fritz ordered, they gagged Cassie and Ami's mouths with a cloth."Let them go, Fritz. You know that smothering them won't change my judgment of you," Elissa said casually. She knew best that one had to use a cool head when dealing with this human."Not until you listen to me!" retorted Fritz equally coldly."What do you hav
The incident had been going on for a long time. On the night Ira miscarried for the third time, she found a strange chat on her husband's phone."Ir, have you seen my phone?" shouted Desmond from the bathroom.Ira was pensive. She wanted to open Desmond's phone but couldn't. For the first time, she realised that her husband's phone was locked. Ira tried to enter her anniversary date, but it failed; her husband's date of birth failed, and her date of birth failed."Ir?" exclaimed Desmond. His voice was getting closer.Ira grew anxious. She wanted to see her husband's conversation with someone called 'My Kitty' there. But all the numbers she entered needed to be corrected. Desmond's footsteps were getting closer. Ira was anxious. When her husband was just a few steps away, Ira dismissed her suspicious face. She turned around and smiled."Here. You put it here before eating."Desmond smiled. "I'm getting older; it's only natural that I start to forget." He took the mobile phone held by h
"Still want to explain something?" challenged Ira."Listen! I did all this for you," Desmond defended.Ira's forehead wrinkled even more. Her face was bright red. She was disgusted by the man with the title of husband in front of her. Desmond looked cute in front of her, but he was nothing more than an animal behind her. "You're cheating on me for my sake? Have you lost your mind?""Yes. All for you. We've done all the experiments to get a child. You've also miscarried three times. The doctor said your womb is weak. We've also tried IVF many times, but it keeps failing. This plan is the only way I can think of," Desmond snapped.Ira could say no more. Her mouth was wide open. Her mind was completely lost. She didn't understand her husband's way of thinking anymore."I don't want a child that's not my blood. If my baby that's not with you is born, I'll pretend to put it in an orphanage, and we'll adopt it. That's my intention. I don't want a divorce from you!""You're not crazy, are yo
"How many more times do you have to feel pain, Gar?" asked Araf, not understanding. As far as he knew, no one wanted to be hurt. But now, in front of himself, the friend Araf knows so well even wants to be hurt any number of times."Isn't it the husband's duty to protect his family?" Edgar replied with a smile."But this is different, Gar. You've been expelled. And Elissa has been insolent. If I were her husband, I would have filed for divorce. Why maintain a relationship like that?" said Araf passionately."That's you, not me," Edgar replied.Araf clenched his fists. He, facing forward, looking at the buildings below him, immediately faced Edgar. Araf grabbed his best friend's shirt, lifted Edgar's body, and slammed him against the wall. "Wake up, Gar! Have you lost your mind since breaking up with Balqis? You deserve to be happy, too. You are a good person who deserves respect. Elissa has no right to trample on your feelings!"Edgar smiled. He touched Araf's hand, which was violentl
"Huh, where is he? He said he would come here again?" said Elissa, who had been looking at the front yard, waiting for Edgar. She was still thinking about what Edgar said yesterday. He said he would come home every day. But wait for it, the awaited one did not come either."You're not waiting for Edgar, are you?" asked Desmond. After yesterday's heated argument, Elissa's father looked unwell. He was wearing a jacket and a scarf."No, I'm not. How could I wait for the husband I kicked out," said Elissa. She closed her tablet and put it on the table. Now, she looked at her father, who still seemed so sorry."Forgive me for accusing your husband of all sorts!" pleaded Desmond. He then coughed."I'll get you something to drink first!" said Elissa. She hurriedly stood up and headed for the kitchen.Desmond prevented her. He held his daughter's hand and shook his head, telling her to continue sitting beside him. Elissa followed her father's wishes and sat back down. Desmond let out a long b
"Still not sorry for me?" asked Edgar, his blue eyes looking at Elissa. He was now driving while Elissa sat beside him. And she was still silent. Elissa did not look at Edgar at all. Instead of answering with a nod, she was as still as a statue given life."OK, fine. If you still don't forgive me, I won't go home," Edgar continued.Elissa looked at her husband. "Why?""Like you said. That's your house, not mine. There's not a single drop of my money there. So if the owner evicts me, why would I live there."Elissa blinked. She looked back at the deserted street. Who knew where Edgar was taking her? "Are you still angry?" she asked.Edgar was surprised by Elissa's question. "Hem... what do I know? I'm still angry. I'm not a robot that can be repeatedly hurt without feeling anything. It's just that ...." Edgar raised his right hand. He folded all his fingers except his ring finger. "The ring you wear on my finger always says our marriage is not fake. It's real, just like my love for you
It's always been like this. From then until now. Edgar thought there would always be obstacles if you wanted to kiss her. He was annoyed.But what can be made? Destiny is not something he can control. It's okay. There are still many other opportunities. The game at the night market is not just one. The critical thing for Edgar is not ...."You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?" Elissa asked suddenly. She looked at her husband.Edgar pointed at himself. "Me? No. I'm afraid of you. You're scary when you're angry."Elissa smiled. She saw a hint of doubt in Edgar's eyes. "Are you not afraid?" she asked once again.Edgar shook his head confidently. "I told you I'm only afraid of you getting angry and not forgiving me. I used to be an adventurer. I'm not afraid of ghosts. I even climbed the mountain at night," said Edgar proudly."Okay. We're heading there now!" Elissa pointed to a large haunted house at the corner of the night market."Are you serious?" asked Edgar.Elissa turned her head.
