My heart was in a mess and a lot of conjectures poured into my mind.

I even wondered if Dave would come back.

Thanks to the moonlight outside the window, I saw the clock on the wall indicated it was 3 a.m.

It was 3 a.m but Dave hadn't come back yet.

Could something have happened to him?

Should I call him? What if he misunderstood that something had happened to me?

When I was in a dilemma...

Crack.

Crack.

The sound of someone opening the door with a key came from downstairs.

My heart was about to jump out of my throat.

I curled up in the quilt with my heart pounding. Then I heard sounds of footsteps indicating that someone was coming upstairs.

Dave.

During this period, I was quite familiar with the rhythm of his movements when coming upstairs.

After confirming that it was him, I quickly got up from the bed and went to the door.

I saw him on the stairs.

"Hun!"

I rushed over and hugged his neck all of a sudden.

When I realized how I was addressing him, I was a little shocked but I cou

    I took the gift upstairs.To be honest, this was the first time I'll be seeing Kim after my face had been disfigured.Knock! Knock! Knock! I knocked on the door a few times.The door opened in less than three seconds. The woman inside opened her arms and hugged me, saying, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much."She looked down at the two gifts in my hands and said with a smile, "I said you didn't need to prepare gifts for me but you are still so considerate."As she spoke, she took the two gifts over first, looked up at me with a mask on, and said, "Oh, how come you are so fully armed at my home? Sure enough, you look more and more like a rich lady."As Kim was talking to herself, she reached out to take off my mask with one hand and before I could realize what had happened....Kim, who originally had a joyful expression on her face, suddenly stopped smiling. A second later, she became surprised, asking, "What's wrong with your face?""It's a long story."

    "Aren't you with Dave? You told me a fairy tale whose plots seemed to only happen in a novel. Judging from the current situation, could it be that the whole story was made up by you?"Kim was hot tempered. Her words stabbed right into my heart.I suddenly realized I seemed to have been played around by Dave again.In such a short time, he had won me over easily. Could it be that it was because of this that he didn't cherish me?Thinking of what he said last night, I even began to doubt whether he had ever thought of marrying me.It was Kim's birthday today and I couldn't make her sad. I suppressed the sadness in my heart and said to Kim, "No, it's alright. He often contacts Teresa. It's just an ordinary meeting between them. He informed me in advance."As I said this, I took Kim's hand and wanted to walk into the cafe.Kim shook off my hand, "Reed, how come you are brainless when it comes to Dave?""No, give me your cell phone. I want to call him.""Forget it."I didn't want to call

    Kim stood up and said in an imposing manner, "I want to talk to him!"With a bitter look on his face, Desmond said, "Miss Kim, to tell you the truth, most of the ones around me can be offended at will. Only two people are exceptions. One is my father and the other is Dave.""Forget it." I didn't want to put Desmond in a difficult position either. "I will solve this problem by myself.""F**k off! If you can solve it by yourself, you would have solved it already."Kim looked at me as if she was so disappointed in me.Desmond spoke up for Dave, "Dave surely has his own reasons for doing things. Although he treated Lita well before, he treats you differently, which I can see. There surely is a reason for him to do so.""Haha." Kim looked at him and rolled her eyes at him exaggeratingly, "What if his childhood sweetheart took off her clothes, he did something good to help her solve her physiological need, right?""Well.." As soon as Desmond heard Kim's words, unexpectedly, he didn't say an

    Could it be that Kim was right? Could it be that he and Teresa had made love fiercely, which is why he is exhausted?No way.I remembered every time Dave tormented me, it was I who would be exhausted and he was always energetic.By the time I went upstairs, Dave had entered the bathroom.His suit was still on the sofa.I unconsciously picked it up and smelt it.Except for the faint smell of tobacco, there was no other scents."What's wrong? Are you checking my suit?"As I held the suit in my hands and smelled it, Dave came out of the bathroom.I threw the suit aside in a panic, looked up and saw him leaning against the door of the bathroom looking at me.The lights in the bedroom were off and he stood against the light. I couldn't see his expression clearly."No, I..."Thinking of the fact that I saw Teresa being with him during the day, I felt turbulent in my heart and didn't know what to say.Should I ask him directly?Dave came over, put his hand around my waist, and gently press

    We drove for nearly half an hour before we arrived at the Fika store near Kim's house. As soon as I went over, I saw Kim who in a red coat. She was dressed beautifully and her makeup was decent.Most of the pedestrians coming and going were all looking at her."Kim!" I ran to her and asked nervously, "What's going on?"Kim didn't look at me first.. She looked at the car behind me. After a moment of silence, she said, "I met a man on a flight before. He shamelessly asked for my phone number. I refused. He got my phone number and found my address. I was almost raped by him.""Oh my god! Did you call the police?""Not yet! He blocked me at the door of my house. I am scared to death!"I looked at her and felt that she didn't seem to be afraid at all...Before I could say anything, Kim pulled my arm and said, "Well, it's getting cold outside. Hurry up and get into the car.""Alright."At this moment, I seemed to have realized what Kim was trying to do.When Kim and I were heading in the

    Desmond walked us all the way downstairs of Kim's house and said cheekily, "Oh, Won't you invite me to have a cup of coffee upstairs?""Drink coffee in the middle of the night at my ends? Aren't you afraid of dying suddenly in your sleep?"Kim rolled her eyes at him without any intention of asking him upstairs.However, Desmond wasn't angry at all. He said, "Oh, you care about me?""Care about you? Haha, I just don't want you to come upstairs." Kim went straight to the point.Desmond wasn't taking that, "Didn't you say someone was blocking you in the corridor? What if he's still in the corridor? I'll accompany you up so I can complete my mission perfectly."All in all, Desmond wanted to know where on earth Kim was staying."Haha, I see. You are planning to become the next one to harass me, right?""How is that possible? I've always been the one to be harassed by others!""That's because others take a fancy to your money. Except for being rich, you don't have any charm."The, two of th

    The waiter asked, "What kind of soup would you want?""Double..." Desmond said."All spicy flavor." Kim said.Desmond looked at Kim and said, "Let's order Double... I can't eat spicy food.""No, it's my birthday. It's up to me." Kim didn't seem to have any intention of changing her mind.Helplessly, Desmond had no choice but to agree.Although Desmond looked like a playboy, he and Kim had a lot of common topics after they sat together. I sat next to them as if I were a third wheel.I didn't speak all, I was doing was eating.A bottle of champagne was quickly emptied. Originally, Desmond wanted to order beer but Kim directly refused and ordered several bottles of hard alcohol.I wasn't good at drinking however, Kim seemed to have drunk to her heart's content.Desmond proposed to go to a bar and Kim agreed immediately!I tried my best to persuade her but she wouldn't listen. She insisted on pulling me there along with her.We went to the bar.Desmond, who was quite generous, ordered m

    Dave looked at me and then at Bleak. Suddenly, his face became gloomy.He came straight up to me and asked impatiently, "Why are you here?""I...""Alright. Go back! I'll find someone to see you off."As I was about to explain, Dave interrupted me.As he spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and said, "Send Reed away."Seeing this scene, Bleak smiled. "Mr. Mitaka, you are indeed so cruel. When she was a beauty, you hugged her in your arms. Now, she has disfigured her face and you kick her off immediately.""No, it's not like that." Dave immediately denied it, "She shouldn't have come to a place like this."As Dave spoke, his expression was cold and indifferent. His attitude even reminded me of the days when I married him on behalf of Lita back then.How come he changed his attitude so quickly?At this time, Dave's driver came up and said he was going to see me off.I wanted to maintain my dignity which was the only thing I had so I said decisively, "Mr. Mitaka, I don't nee

    I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se

    Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket.

    Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit

    At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n

    When I no longer looked at the computer screen, I saw the reporters all looking at me with different looks in their eyes. It seemed that each of their looks was meaningful.Some seemed to be waiting to make fun of me. And others seemed to be waiting to mock me.This made me even more certain that I wouldn't have an easy time later.To prevent them from sensing my cowardice, I straightened up my back, trying to look calm as much as I could.Finally, it was 10 a.m.At this time, Matt hadn't yet appeared still.At this moment, Loraine walked to the platform in front of her. Sitting down, she said, "Thank you all for coming."After that, she introduced me to everyone and the purpose of the press conference today.I greeted everyone, "Hello, I am Alina Jetson as well as Reed Defiant."I didn't want to hide my identity anymore.At this time, the reporters under the stage all showed that they were all watching a good show.Judging from their expressions, they all seemed to be waiting for th

    At this time, the phone had been hung up, and my heart was pounding. I was afraid that he would know that I was going to hold a press conference privately tomorrow.I was afraid that he would blame me for hiding the contact with Matt from him.My feelings were extremely complicated. However, the man was at the door.I went downstairs and opened the door.Dave stood at the door, only wearing a thin suit coat. Under his slightly messy hair, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes.He had food in his hand.He must have had a wearing journey. At first glance, it could be seen that he had hurried to come over as soon as he got off the plane.Looking at his appearance, my heart was filled with guilt, and I felt that I shouldn't have hidden it from him.At least, I should tell him.But now things had been proceeding, I didn't even have the courage to say it.Dave entered the room and put the food on the table. He reached out his hands and took me in his arms. Pu

    I suppressed the excitement in my heart, "What is it?"In fact, if only Matt told the story by himself, it would be not convincible as there was no evidence.Then it needed to be testified by someone else, or by some evidence which Matt had kept for himself.Matt was in a conflicting emotion which can be seen from his face. "In fact, I also recorded what happened at that time."Haha.Recording was really a good method.I was relieved hearing this. I put my hands on the table and seriously asked him, "Which do you think will be more disadvantageous to you? The exposure of having an affair with the director's wife or of doing something wrong for your child?"In fact, I felt that both of them were almost the same. However, the latter seemed to be slightly better than the former.Matt looked at me. Instead of answering, he asked reluctantly, "How many videos and recordings do you have? Where did these things come from?""I have four altogether." I thought for a moment and said, "I asked s

    Because it was at night without heavy traffic, Dave arrived soon.I followed Dave back to No.1, but I still didn't tell him about the videos after hesitating several times.However, I beat him around the bush and it turned out that Dave knew nothing about that.Then, who sent those files to me?Soon, I thought of another person, Oogway.I realized that meeting him this afternoon wasn't a coincidence.Since the previous incident, I realized that there were not so many coincidences in the world. All the coincidences might be set by others.I remembered what Oogway said before I got in the taxi?Was he really making up for his mistake?His deed has nothing to do with me, but I need these documents now.The next morning, Dave went to work.Before he went out, he told me that he needed to go abroad for a business trip, which would take about a week.Originally, I planned to go straight to meet Matt that day. However, after thinking for a while, I gave up.I took my laptop to Judith's house

    I went to Judith's home. I didn't know why I felt more relaxed here than elsewhere, as if I belonged here.Or, only in here, I can really let go of things.I was preoccupied with the matters concerning Judith's death.I called Marie and told her all the ins and outs of this matter. I wanted to see if her husband Jerrold can check whether there was any report about this.After that, I searched for the list of associate directors of the Hospital.I had also come in contact with grandma's attending doctor at that time, so I should have some impression.There were four associate directors in the hospital. I scanned them roughly and soon focused on a photo of an associate director named Matt Parma!'That's him!' I told myself!"My grandmother's attending physician was this man."I looked at the doctor's resume from the Internet again. He was the youngest among all the associate directors. In comparison to other associate directors, he should be the most inexperienced.How could he be an a
