Chapter 60 - Poisoned

Dexter went to the bar. Whenever he was upset, all he could do was turn to booze! Unfortunately, the reason for him drinking all this time was only because of Kaili. That stupid woman was very good at messing up his heart.

Grizelle walked over to Dexter. "Wow, the Eldest Young Master Chiro just came a few days ago and now comes again. Why do you often leave the house while having a beautiful wife at home?"

Grizelle wouldn't have slept well if she didn't sneer at Dexter!

Dexter's black eyes that were as sharp as eagle eyes glanced at Grizelle, the woman suddenly didn't dare to say anything else.

"Hehehe… I'm just kidding. The eldest young master wouldn't reckon with a lonely woman like me, would you?"

Dexter narrowed his eyes, "If you're lonely, just find a boyfriend! Do not bother me!"

"Uhh ... You're so cruel!" Grizelle no longer cared about that brokenhearted man.

"How to chase after a woman?" After about 10 minutes the two of them were silent, the question suddenly broke the silence. The question made Grizelle couldn't help but laugh.

"You? Sorry, can you say it again? I didn't hear it very well."

Grizelle's point was very clear, she just wanted to tease Dexter back. Unfortunately, Dexter was not stupid!

Dexter chose to stare at the glass instead of answering Grizelle. Grizelle understood what that stare meant.

"Oh, don't worry! This is a new glass. It's never been used by anyone. And even those who made it specifically didn't touch it directly. He wore gloves from the start of the process to the delivery here. I guarantee it is very clean!"

Grizelle took the glass and showed it to Dexter.

"This is a wine glass from Japan that I specially ordered and investigated from the start until it got here."

"Oh, really?" Dexter raised his eyebrows. "So, you just came back from Japan?"

"Eh ..." Grizelle fell silent. She should have known that Dexter was very hard to lie to.

Feeling annoyed, she put the glass back on the table. She pouted and said, "I don't want to care about you anymore!"

Dexter didn't see her at all. His expression was still very dark but there was also a look of pain that was implied. Only in front of Grizelle did Dexter dare to reveal his true expression.

Seeing her friend who was in so much pain, Grizelle could only let out a heavy sigh. Then she took the most comfortable position by leaning her back on the sofa.

"Dexter ..."

Dexter looked at her but didn't say a word.

"You've come this far and she's still like that. It's been 5 years, why don't you just let her go? She is not the only woman in this world! Just look at you now! So sad! You are trying your best to chase after someone's love that has never looked at you. Then you are ignoring Silvia who obviously loves you a lot! You wish for someone's love, while you also broke someone's heart. Kaili made you heartbroken, while Silvia was broken heart because of you. Do you know? The pain that you felt, Silvia felt it too. Why don't you two just treat each other?"

Dexter looked utterly confused, his cold lips stubbornly saying, "My heart is not into her. Silvia can't cross the line in my heart."

Grizelle said with displeasure, "Then, did Kaili's heart run to yours? Can you cross the barrier in her heart?"

Dexter: "..."

"Dexter, I don't understand you! If I were a man, I wouldn't let go of a woman like Silvia. Silvia is superior compare to other women! It will be a great choice to keep her on your side forever. Don't you see her struggles in getting your love? After all, she is a young lady from a respectable family. What can't she get? But because of you, she left her good life. Even she was not fussy at all when she has to do many troublesome things.

Because to be the ideal wife you want, she works hard to be the woman you like. You said you want a mature woman who is not spoiled, who is ready to live like ordinary people, didn't she do that? She went to college in the morning and worked in the evening. She even learned this and that. She did all of that to be equal to a great man like you. But ... see what you are doing right now! Don't you think that's too much?

I suddenly felt like you really deserved it when Kaili ignored you like this! You've broken a woman's heart to the point that, I'm sure she can't fall in love with anyone anymore. She gave all love for you to the point of losing her identity. And you? You don't even appreciate it!"

Actually, there were many more things that Grizelle wanted to say. She even wanted to criticize Kaili but her brain can still think, if one bad word she said for Kaili, her life wouldn't even last the next second. Dexter didn't take long for committing the crime. Even just by closing his eyes and opening them again, all his will had happened. Grizelle was so irritated.

Dexter looked at her with a pathetic gaze, not expecting the woman who had been hearing his complaints, now speaking for Silvia. Dexter also did not deny that everything Grizelle said was true. It was just that it couldn't be helpd. Love was not just an illusion when everything seemed to happen but in the end, you still have to wake up, right?

"Are you really my friend or Silvia's? Why are you speaking for her?" Dexter frowned.

"I'm neither nobody's friend nor yours! I speak for a woman's conscience."

Dexter really was too much, who will put up with him? Grizelle shook her head many times at the poor man in front of her.

Grizelle didn't want to care about him anymore either, her business alone kept her busy enough. She also had a complicated love story. Someone she loved never looked at her. In fact, that phrase was also meant to free the feelings that were trapped inside her heart on behalf of Silvia. Looking at the pathetic Silvia, like looking at herself.

"Brandy said that Kenzie contacted the company."

Hearing Kenzie's name, Grizelle stiffens. Suddenly, she felt that all her nerves were no longer functioning. For a long time, she was silent, playing with her mind. Then her sexy and volumed-lips spoke up.

"Love is a malignant tumor. You have to erase it before it hurts you. Otherwise, it will become a fungus that stabs into your body. No matter what, as long as it wants to make you sick, then you will get sick."

Grizelle's lashes trembled, suddenly a sense of sorrow struck her heart, causing her soul to fall into a deep valley and unable to return.

Actually, Grizelle wanted to say these words to herself as if to remind her. But right now, her friend was also experiencing a deep heartbreak, so why not just share.

Dexter looked at the woman who was still scolding him earlier but just because of a name, she suddenly became very pitiful. Her arrogant attitude was instantly engulfed by a deep sense of loneliness.

"What do you think if he came here—"

Grizelle interrupted Dexter's words, "I just remembered, I have a few things to do. My little bar will get smaller if I just spend my time playing without taking care of it."

Grizelle immediately got up and Dexter stared at her trembling back then slowly disappeared.

Fate was too happy to ruthlessly tease someone. However, humans also didn't have to be hostile to fate, right?

It wasn't until Dexter was contemplating that his cell phone rang and the name on the screen was his wife's name, Kaili.

Dexter was a little surprised, he didn't expect Kaili to take the initiative to contact him. Previously, he had received news that Kaili had secretly left the house when aunt Inandi had gone to take out the trash.

When he got the news, Dexter felt that Kaili would not come back to him again. He knew Kaili very well. According to his understanding, Kaili's words about the divorce request were no joke. That woman would do anything to get a divorce from him. That's why Dexter locked her in the room. Sure enough, just a few minutes later, Dexter had got the news. She had gone secretly.

But, why did she call him?

Dexter hesitated to answer. He was afraid it was Richard Goh speaking and spoke of their divorce. Dexter was so scared, he wouldn't have another chance to get Kaili.

However, on another side, Dexter also really wanted to hear her voice. He could not help pretending not to hear that phone call because it was a call from someone he always expected.

Alright, let it be like this! He wouldn't possibly run away from reality, would he? He was a man of high self-esteem!

Dexter took the cell phone that was on the table and received the call.

He had not had time to say 'what's wrong', the caller immediately preceded him to speak,

[Doctor Dexter, this is bad! Kaili ... she, she ...] The voice sounded very panicked and full of worry.

Dexter also panicked when he heard Kaili's name. Hurriedly, he said, "What's wrong? What happened to her?"

[This ... I don't know, but she seems poisoned. Her mouth has frothed.]

"Froth? What are you guys eating? "

[Uh ... we, we just drank a little vodka.]
