In the city, who would ever dare to offend Charles?
"It's all because of you women. I find women are just trouble and can't do anything right!" Jay reiterated.
By that time, the policeman and Jay had reached the room where Charles was locked up. Jay ended the call after telling Doris off.
"Hey, what's the matter? What did you mean by that?" Doris couldn't fathom what was going on and thought to herself, 'Charles already has Nancy. Why would he be involved with another woman and get into trouble?'
Did this mean he had a mistress on the side?
'Wow, rich men really can't stay faithful and will go out to play, no matter what!'
She pondered whether or not to tell Nancy. After a while, she decided to let her know. As they were best friends, her loyalty was with Nancy anyway.
Nancy was still awake at that time. Like Doris, she couldn't sleep either.
Listening to the patter of rain outside, she felt ill at ease.
When her phone beeped, she didn't expect it to be Doris. After all, it was already so late.
Therefore, when she saw the screen flickering, she thought it was just a message.
However, she saw that it was not a message but a call from Doris.
Before picking up, she thought with a bitter smile, 'This pregnant woman, why don't you have
aming.
Nancy hugged herself tightly, feeling utterly alone and cold all over her body.
When she met Charles, she had thought that she had met someone she could rely on. After all the hardships they had been through, they finally decided to live together.
She didn't care much about the benefits she could gain from his status. The most important thing was that the children could both stay together by her side. To see them happy and healthy as they grew up was all she could ask for.
But fate wasn't in her favor. She had to face these unbearable hurdles one after another, without giving her any breathing space.
'Go to sleep, Nancy.
Sleep to clear your mind. When you wake up, you can decide then what to do.'
She would never resort to begging Charles to stay if he wanted to leave.
But if he opted to stay, she would not let him touch her again.
She thought he must be dirty because of other women!
Her nightmares haunted her for the rest of the night.
In her dream, she saw Charles, Jill, Fannie and Caspar all laughing wildly in the rain.
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. The pain she felt was truly unbearable.
Waiting for the morning to arrive wasn't easy. Time dragged and Nancy felt as if she had died.
She felt totally lethargic.
