“It’s fine, it’s fine, I was just saying. Let’s continue watching TV,” Yigol replied helplessly.

At this moment, the TV show had reached an interesting part, and Suri’s attention was instantly drawn to it. She didn’t put much weight on Yigol’s words.

Yigol felt regretful, yet at the same time, quite relieved.

Feeling the heat in his soul, he said to himself helplessly, “Hang in there a bit longer, buddy. We’re almost there. I’ll try harder to get my wife to help cool you down.”

As evening fell, no lights were on in the living room except for the flickering glow from the TV.

It didn’t take long for Suri to fall asleep in Yigol’s arms, leaving him at a loss.

Although he was injured, he effortlessly carried Suri back to their room.

That night, Yigol hardly had a few hours of sleep.

Usually a good sleeper, he had been suffering from insomnia since sharing a room with Suri.

The next day, he woke up and got out of bed promptly without looking back or having the courage to glance at Suri’s room.

Suri’s defensiveness had lessened; as she slept, she tossed and turned, often causing Yigol to almost have a nosebleed.

After getting up and getting ready, Yigol went out to buy groceries as usual.

The chilly morning air made him feel relieved.

After breakfast, Suri was about to leave when her phone suddenly rang.

It was a WhatsApp notification.

Both Suri and Yigol had limited connections, only communicating with a few people who mostly called them directly rather than messaging.

Perhaps it was the previous incident with Bob Presley in the WhatsApp group that had made Yigol wary. The moment Suri’s phone rang, he couldn’t help but worry a little.

Who is causing trouble this time?

As Suri unlocked her phone to check the message, Yigol inched a little closer with a guilty conscience.

“If you want to look, just look. Do you need to be so sneaky about it?” Suri pushed the phone towards Yigol.

“Then I won’t be polite,” Yigol chuckled and moved closer.

As their relationship grew closer, Suri’s resistance gradually faded, and she had come to accept such physical contact.

Now, the two of them looked as sweet as ever.

Suri opened her phone, and the message was from the WhatsApp class chat group.

Quinn Powell mentioned Suri and asked, “Suri, where is Bob? I’ve been trying to contact him but can’t find him anywhere. Do you know where he is?”

Upon seeing the message, Suri quickly turned to look at Yigol, who was also looking at her.

Their faces were close, and her sudden turn almost caused their lips to touch, only a hair’s width apart.

In the next moment, Suri’s face turned red, and she forgot to react.

Yigol secretly lamented, why was there still such a small gap?

At this moment, he couldn’t take the initiative to move closer.

After a while, Suri composed herself and asked, “Honey, this isn’t our fault, right?”

“You can reply that you have no idea,” Yigol suggested with an air of regret.

Suri obediently nodded, “Okay.”

However, the message sent was, ‘What does it have to do with me if you can’t find him?”

Yigol was torn between laughter and tears. Why did his wife’s words sound so aggressive?

After replying, Suri glanced at Yigol’s hand resting on her shoulder, “Get your hooves off me, your baby’s got to go to work.”

“Wifey, you’re the boss. Going to work a bit late is fine. You can even skip a whole day, no problem. Just let me hold you a little longer,” Yigol said as he hugged Suri tighter and pleaded with her.

“You don’t let me hold you at night, and you even separate our blankets. You have no idea how heartbroken I feel.”

“Wifey, when will you let me move up and have a baby together?”

“Make a baby? Can you stop daydreaming in broad daylight?” Suri shot him a disgusted look and got up to leave.

At that moment, the WhatsApp notification sounded again.

Yigol took the opportunity to pull Suri back into his embrace, “Wifey, you check the message first and let me hold you a little longer.”

“Get out of here,” Suri said with disdain, but she allowed Yigol to continue holding her as she checked her phone.

In the group chat, Quinn Powell mentioned Suri again, “How could this not be related to you? He suddenly went missing. It’s definitely connected to you. You’d threatened to have your husband turn him into a second-generation in debt in the group chat before. Did you two do something to him?”

“Suri, your heart is so cold. What did Bob ever do to deserve such malicious treatment from you? You better tell me where he is now, or I’m calling the police, got it?”

The other classmates started chiming in as well.

Classmate Alan said, “What’s going on so early in the morning? Is Bob really in trouble?”

“I thought this would blow over, but suddenly Bob has disappeared?”

Classmate Clare said, “I assumed you both had resolved the issue privately and that’s why the group chat was quiet these past few days. So why has Bob suddenly gone missing? He’s the type who never turns off his phone.”

Classmate David asked Quinn, “Quinn, could it be that Bob doesn’t want to see you? He’d said in the group chat before that he had nothing to do with you. He might’ve blocked you. Does anyone have Bob’s number? Give him a call and see what’s going on.”

Quinn: “It’s impossible. I tried several phones, all saying he’s switched off. I even went to the places he frequents, but there’s no sign of him.”

Suri looked at Yigol and deliberately moved her head back slightly to maintain some distance, “Honey, how should I reply to this?”

Yigol secretly sighed. Indeed, missed opportunities seldom return. His wife already knew how to avoid accidental intimacy.

“If you don’t reply, that woman may not really call the police. That’s not a big deal, considering it’s Bob’s own fault if something happens to him. It wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t tried to kill us,” Yigol replied.

“However, your classmates might learn about Bob’s misfortune and embellish it. By then, your reputation among your classmates might not be so great.”

“They won’t care about the reason, and they’ll only feel that Bob’s catastrophe has something to do with you, or think that he was driven to his fate by your husband. Then, they’ll not only distance themselves from you but also spread malicious rumors..”
