Nathan leaned in and kissed her lips possessively and affectionately.
"Good night, honey," he murmured.
Nacy and Simon slowly walked back to their empty villa. When Simon turned the lights on, Nacy bent
down and began to take her shoes off in the vestibule. Wearing high heels for a whole day, she felt very
tired.
Seeing this, Simon smiled, squatted down, and held Nacy's ankle. For a moment, he felt her smooth,
white heel with his slightly rough fingers. He unbuckled one of her shoes and then the other.
Nacy stood there with one hand against the wall. She suddenly called to him in a trembling voice,
"Simon."
"What?" Simon's deep and magnetic voice rang in the night.
Nacy smiled and said with a little shyness, "I... I want to apologize."
"Why? Did we have a fight? Just let bygones be bygones. I hope you can let your sad memories go,
too. Don't worry too much, Nacy. If we can finally find out the truth about our aborted child, we will
continue our investigation. But if the truth can't be found out, then there's nothing we can do." Simon
stood up. His tall and straight figure blocked Nacy's view and cast a shadow on her fair and charming
face.
"I just..." Frowning, Nacy shook her head and said, "I'm just not content with the result. Why should I
lose my unborn child? It's not fair!"
"I don't like to see you like this. While hating others, you also transfer the negative emotions to yourself.
Nacy, I promise that I will never let Bonnie hurt you again. Just listen to me like a good girl, okay?"
Simon's magnetic voice sounded a little hoarse, and he looked a little bleak in the enchanting night.
Nacy was dumbfounded and stared at him blankly. After a while, she said in a shaky voice, "Simon, we
lost our baby because of her. Don't you grieve for our child?"
"Of course, I grieve for our lost child. Nacy, my heart hurts as much as yours does, but the child is
already gone. We will have another one in the future. I really don't want you to be trapped in hatred. Do
you understand me?" Simon stretched out his hand and put it on Nacy's round shoulder. He spoke
slowly and seriously.
With her heart in pieces, Nacy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. At last, she gave in. When she
opened her eyes again, they were still as clear and bright as before, but they were filled with a tinge of
anger that did not belong to her. "Okay, I will listen to you. I'm sure my brother will find out the truth
anyway."
"Very well," Simon replied with a gentle smile. His voice softened a little bit. He knew Nacy would get
what he meant. "I also trust that Nathan can find out the truth. It's better if we ourselves can figure it
out, but if we don't have any solid evidence, there's nothing we can do. At this point, we have to believe
that bad people will eventually suffer retribution."
Upon hearing this, Nacy kept silent for a few seconds. Then, she flashed Simon a smile with her
beautiful almond eyes. She said, "Well, I'm sure that the truth will definitely come out. Justice has long
arms."
Simon held Nacy in his arms and led her to their bedroom upstairs.
"Would you like to take a bath with me?" With an arm around Nacy's waist, Simon reached for her
earlobe with his other hand and rubbed it gently.
"No, I want to watch TV. You go." Nacy pushed him away gently. Her warm breath against his
collarbone caused him to lose his senses.
"All right then." Simon let go of Nacy, took his pajamas, and headed to the bathroom.
Nacy sat alone in bed and watched TV. Lately, there was a very popular TV drama among the
audience. The show consisted of experienced actors, not new ones who only had pretty faces. Nacy
was engaged in the entertainment industry, so she wanted to learn how experienced actors acted.
She was enjoying watching the drama when Simon's phone beeped. It was a WeChat message.
Nacy was not suspicious of Simon's fidelity. It just happened that Simon's phone was within her reach.
Since Simon loved her very much, he allowed her to check his phone and computer freely.
Since their marriage, Simon had never had an ambiguous relationship with another woman except for
Bonnie. Therefore, Bonnie had become Nacy's most hated woman.
With a careless attitude, Nacy took a look at Simon's phone. Her eyes suddenly focused on the bright
screen. It was a WeChat message from Bonnie.
The message read, "Simon, I don't understand why you took my dress home. Is it because it smelled
good?" The message was followed by two emotion icons that meant "snicker."
"Shameless bitch!" Nacy bared her teeth and cursed.
An idea suddenly came to her mind. She did not tell Bonnie yet that she was Nacy. She took Simon's
phone and replied as if she was he, "I have to deal with something urgent. I liked your dress very
much, so I took it. Will you be staying at the hotel tonight? I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
Seeing the message from Simon, Bonnie had an inexplicably strange feeling. It was like the person
who just sent the message was not Simon but Nacy. She was not sure if she was only overthinking,
though.
"Why are you coming to see me tomorrow?" Bonnie replied to Simon's message with great doubt.
"My ex-wife's lawyer asked me to talk about dividing the family property." Nacy gave rein to her full
imagination and quickly typed the message on Simon's phone.
"Oh? Why are you in such a hurry?" Bonnie asked in confusion.
"Nacy is planning to go abroad."
At the hotel, Bonnie smiled with satisfaction after seeing the message, thinking that Nacy was finally
going abroad.
The nails on Bonnie's slender fingers were painted a refreshing green. She quickly typed out, "Which
country is she moving to?"
Nacy snickered and raised her eyebrows. 'Bonnie must be quite concerned about me to even ask
which country I want to move to, ' she thought to herself.
"You seem to care about my ex-wife," Nacy replied with a sneer full of sarcasm on the corners of her
mouth.
"I'm just asking casually." Bonnie's face froze upon seeing Simon's words. She quickly messaged back.
Nacy then changed the subject and typed another message. It said, "You know what? There is a smell
on your dress."
"What kind of smell?" Bonnie asked curiously.
"A foul smell. You shameless bitch! Stay away from my husband!" Nacy replied in a domineering tone,
stressing each word.
Bonnie was pissed off at the hotel, and her face turned livid and pale. She did not expect that the
person she had been talking to was not really Simon. She had been fooled by Nacy.
Not replying any further, Bonnie was displeased. She turned off her WeChat and called Eve to ask her
to bring her a new dress.
Nacy squinted and left Simon's phone on the bed. Then, she put on her slippers and jumped off the
bed. She pushed the bathroom door open.
