“Forget it.” I didn’t want to embarrass Jack. “I’ll solve it myself.”
“If you can, why don’t you solve it earlier?”
Daisy looked at me angrily.
Jack defended Sean, “Sean must have his reasons, and although he was good to Molly before, I can
see that he is different to you, so he must have reasons this time.”
“Ha ha.” Daisy looked at him coldly. “His childhood sweetheart took off her clothes, so Sean kindly
helped her with her physiological problems, right?”
When Jack heard Daisy say that, he didn’t retort, “a man can love a woman, but...”
“Stop!”
Daisy hit Jack directly with her bag!
Although Jack was a playboy, he was quick-thinking and dodged.
He said discontentedly, “Daisy, although I have a good impression of you, you can’t go too far.”
“I called you because I hope you to call him. Do you think I really think you’re good?” Daisy stopped
pretending and said, “I don’t want a man like you who thinks with your lower body!”
Then she took me outside.
When we got to the cash register, she took three hundred dollars out of her purse and gave it to the
waiter and left.
I looked back and saw Jack look terrible.
Daisy was not in the mood to go shopping. In the evening she booked a box in the restaurant. The
cake she ordered was delivered.
Daisy sat down and looked at me. She sighed, “Actually, I know you feel worse than me. I just think
we’re from the same orphanage. No one supports us, so we should be strong ourselves. We can’t let
others bully us.”
“I know.”
I nodded in silence.
When I was a kid, Daisy and I worked in a shop one year. Daisy would help me when I was bullied.
She was the most important person to me.
She was the only one who would never hurt me.
She was better to me than my family.
Daisy sat next to me and took my hand. “Women’s sixth sense is the most accurate. To be honest,
didn’t you have a hunch before that?”
I shook my head.
“Don’t deceive yourself.”
“I didn’t.”
I replied positively.
I looked at Daisy and continued, “to be honest, I’m not deluding myself. In fact, I want to leave him, but
what he did moved me. Although I know it’s not right that I don’t stick to my position, I’m sure at least...”
I thought for a moment and said, “at least until yesterday he was really sincere to me.”
“Before yesterday?” Daisy asked me.
“Last night...” I basically told Daisy what happened last night.
Daisy frowned after listening. “Maybe Cindy let him out. This kind of woman likes to use this method
most.”
“I don’t think so, or Sean wouldn’t let me turn off the light.” I finally said my doubts, “I always think he
has some enemies.”
“Enemies? It’s really hard to say. After all, he is rich. He may have done something bad.”
Daisy said.
Because of Sean, Daisy was not very happy on her birthday.
We only had a birthday cake for dinner.
On my way back, I remembered Sean saying he might come to pick me up.
But it was over ten o’clock. He hadn’t contacted me yet. He may not be able to come.
I sent Daisy home first. Before I left, Daisy pulled me and said, “you must ask Sean tonight!”
“Don’t worry.”
I promised, but I knew that I wouldn’t get any answers in the end.
I took a taxi home and sat on the sofa. Like yesterday, I didn’t turn on the light and just sat.
The time on the phone changed from 11:59 to 00:00.
It was past 12 o’clock. Where was Sean?
Did he really have an accident?
Or he and Cindy...
I dare not think about it.
I lay on the sofa, bored.
Daisy kept sending me messages and asking, “is Sean back?”
I said, “No.”
No sooner had I finished texting than I heard the door open.
I quickly got up from the sofa. I saw Sean come in from the outside and turn on the light. He froze when
he saw me sitting on the sofa.
He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while he said, “sorry, I forgot to pick you up today.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
I sat there and watched Sean.
He looked tired and his eyes were sunken.
The green stubble on his chin was a bit conspicuous.
He may be in a hurry in the morning so his beard hadn’t been shaved off.
I wanted to say something but I hesitated and didn’t say it.
“Go to bed early.” Sean’s eyes just stayed on me for a second and then moved away.
He turned and went upstairs.
I stood behind him looking at his back and felt sad.
Was Daisy right? Did he do anything with Cindy so he was exhausted?
It was impossible.
I thought that Sean was full of energy every time I was exhausted.
When I went upstairs, Sean was in the bathroom.
His suit was on the sofa.
I unconsciously stepped forward and took it up to smell it.
There was nothing but a faint smell of tobacco.
“What’s the matter?”
Sean came out of the bathroom when I smelled his clothes.
I threw his clothes aside in panic. I looked up and saw Sean leaning against the bathroom door looking
at me.
The light in the bedroom was off and he was backlit so I couldn’t see his expression.
“No, I...”
I thought of seeing Cindy during the day and felt nervous. I didn’t know how to say it.
Should I ask him directly?
He came up and put his arms around my waist. He put his chin gently on my shoulder. “Sorry,
something happened recently. I ignored you.”
“I see.”
“Don’t think too much. It will be all right soon.”
Sean said faintly.
Was that so? What happened to Cindy?
He had let me go and went to the bathroom when I wanted to ask. I opened my mouth but didn’t ask
him my question at the end.
I woke up at seven the next day, but Sean left.
Was something wrong with his company?
My cell phone rang while I was thinking.
I looked down and saw that it was a strange number.
