Chapter 104

“I was busy. What’s up?” I asked in a flat voice.

“I fell and scraped my knee. It’s all red and it hurts so much.” Yvonne suddenly started bawling.

I comforted her in a flat voice. “Don’t cry. Just be more careful next time.

“Mom, where are you? I want you to come take care of me,” Yvonne sniffled.

“I’m in Shaville,” I said, not hiding it from her.

“Are you in Shaville for work?” Yvonne asked, her voice still choked with tears.

I wanted to say no, that I was here for a trip, but thinking about her hurt leg, I just said yes.

Yvonne kept complaining for a while, sounding all pitiful, but then it seemed like she got another call. She quickly said, “Mom, I’ve got to go. Bye.”

I tossed my phone aside and walked over to the hotel’s floor–to–ceiling window. The sun was sinking in the west, its afterglow lingering softly across the city.

My phone started ringing again. It was Jared calling. I acted like I didn’t see it and just let it ring.

Jared sent me a text. [Where are you?]

I replied: [What do you want?]

[I’m coming to see you,] Jared texted back right away.

[You should handle your business first. I’m fine on my own,] I replied, my voice calm and steady. Gone was the needy, desperate tone from my previous life; now I sounded completely unbothered.

Jared called again, so I picked up.

His voice was tinged with exhaustion. “What do you want to eat tonight?”

I answered, sounding indifferent, “I don’t really have anything in mind.”

“I know you didn’t like the Shaville food at lunch. Tonight, I’ll take you out for something you actually like,” Jared said in a considerate tone.

Suddenly, I realized that Shaville cuisine was Tracy’s favorite, since her mother’s family was from Shaville and her father was from Hachester.

So Jared had spent over two hours in the car just to come to Shaville and eat Tracy’s favorite food with her. He’s really

obsessed with her.

“No need. I’m fine on my own. You should focus on your work,” I replied, being even more considerate than he was.

“Where are you?” Jared sounded impatient. “Are you really by yourself?”

Hearing that jealous tone from him, I finally realized that Jared was actually suspicious of me.

He’d spent the whole afternoon getting cozy with his mistress, and now he suddenly remembered his neglected wife and wondered if I was the one cheating.

“Jared, is there really no trust between us at all?” I snapped, anger flaring. “If you’re always going to think I’m cheating. maybe we should just divorce.”

I didn’t want him coming over because, honestly, the thought of him having sex with Tracy.

In the end, I still didn’t tell him where I was. But of course, Jared had his ways.

When he knocked on the door, I looked at him standing there. He seemed completely unfazed, just walked right in, and said, “I was worried you’d just pick some random hotel.”
