"What of course not," Yushen nervously chuckled before wrapping his arms around her shoulder. "We were just talking about Qiang's friend whom I had met a long time back."

Slapping his hand away, she started interrogating him, "So are there any other friends of Qiang, Huiling or Becca whose features you remember so distinctly?"

"I know right? I never thought you knew so much about her, I mean even I never noticed her eye color until you mentioned it, they are actually very brown and—"

Cutting Qiang off, Yushen glared at her, "Thank you so much my dear sister but I think you should shut up now."

Lifting her shoulders, she gave him a whatever gesture before getting back to what she was doing along with Guang.

Ignoring Yushen who was trying very hard to coax her, Jennifer curiously inquired, "Do you guys have any idea what is wrong with sister Linyang?"

Keeping her phone aside, Qiang asked, "Why? What happened to her?"

"I was in the washroom and she looked—I don't know how to put this,"

Cutting her off, Guang sighed, "Sad, depressed, sick, sleep deprived—"

Snapping her fingers, Jennifer vigorously nodded her head, "Exactly, it was weird seeing her like that." When Yushen had brought her home for the first time, she remembered Linyang being all chirpy, someone who always had a smile on her face but today when she saw her again, she looked very different. Linyang was forcing her to smile and stay happy which was very evident so it made her wonder if something had happened.

"Well, sister Linyang is going through some tough times," Guang explained.

"What kind of tough times? Is it business related?" Yushen guessed.

Cutting her off, Huiling vigorously shook her head, "No, I am fine."

"So you are not angry or hurt?"

"No—" Placing her hand on her chest, she exclaimed, "I mean just look at them, they look so cute together and look at Guang, have you ever seen him so happy?"

Resting her head on her palm, Becca smiled, "Yes, they look very cute together."

"I have already asked someone to bring all our necessary things from home and—" Nathan stopped midway when he saw Adriana all dazed out. Placing his hand on her shoulder, he inquired, "What happened?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she sighed, "I am just tired of my husband lying to me all the time." Looking at him, she continued, "Don't you ever get tired of pretending in front of me though you know that I can see through you?"

When he did not say anything, she jerked her head to the other side and started sobbing. "It's been three years since we got married but you never stop pretending in front me and that kills me Nathan. I know I act okay but I am not, I am done with all your pretentious acts and I can't take it anymore."

Sitting down beside her, he pulled her into his embrace and sighed, "I love you Adriana, you know that right?"

With her head buried on his chest, she vigorously nodded her head. "Yes, but you also know that only love isn't enough to have a healthy relationship."

"I just don't want you to stress about anything and with the baby coming, you need to take care of yourself—"

Cutting him off, she snapped, "That is not the answer I am looking for Nathan, I wanna know what is going on." Wiping her tears away, she added, "I want to know what is going on between you and Gavin. I wanna know if Gavin is involved in the killing of those pregnant women."
