“Forget it.” I didn’t want to embarrass Jack. “I’ll solve it myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If you can, why don’t you solve it earlier?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy looked at me angrily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack defended Sean, “Sean must have his reasons, and although he was good to Molly before, I can see that he is different to you, so he must have reasons this time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ha ha.” Daisy looked at him coldly. “His childhood sweetheart took off her clothes, so Sean kindly helped her with her physiological problems, right?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Jack heard Daisy say that, he didn’t retort, “a man can love a woman, but…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Stop!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy hit Jack directly with her bag! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Jack was a playboy, he was quick-thinking and dodged. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said discontentedly, “Daisy, although I have a good impression of you, you can’t go too far.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I called you because I hope you to call him. Do you think I really think you’re good?” Daisy stopped pretending and said, “I don’t want a man like you who thinks with your lower body!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then she took me outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When we got to the cash register, she took three hundred dollars out of her purse and gave it to the waiter and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked back and saw Jack look terrible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy was not in the mood to go shopping. In the evening she booked a box in the restaurant. The cake she ordered was delivered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy sat down and looked at me. She sighed, “Actually, I know you feel worse than me. I just think we’re from the same orphanage. No one supports us, so we should be strong ourselves. We can’t let others bully us.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I know.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I nodded in silence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was a kid, Daisy and I worked in a shop one year. Daisy would help me when I was bullied. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was the most important person to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was the only one who would never hurt me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was better to me than my family. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy sat next to me and took my hand. “Women’s sixth sense is the most accurate. To be honest, didn’t you have a hunch before that?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t deceive yourself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I didn’t.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I replied positively. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Daisy and continued, “to be honest, I’m not deluding myself. In fact, I want to leave him, but what he did moved me. Although I know it’s not right that I don’t stick to my position, I’m sure at least…” I thought for a moment and said, “at least until yesterday he was really sincere to me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Before yesterday?” Daisy asked me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Last night…” I basically told Daisy what happened last night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy frowned after listening. “Maybe Cindy let him out. This kind of woman likes to use this method most.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t think so, or Sean wouldn’t let me turn off the light.” I finally said my doubts, “I always think he has some enemies.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Enemies? It’s really hard to say. After all, he is rich. He may have done something bad.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because of Sean, Daisy was not very happy on her birthday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We only had a birthday cake for dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On my way back, I remembered Sean saying he might come to pick me up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it was over ten o’clock. He hadn’t contacted me yet. He may not be able to come. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sent Daisy home first. Before I left, Daisy pulled me and said, “you must ask Sean tonight!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t worry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I promised, but I knew that I wouldn’t get any answers in the end. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a taxi home and sat on the sofa. Like yesterday, I didn’t turn on the light and just sat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The time on the phone changed from 11:59 to 00:00. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was past 12 o’clock. Where was Sean? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he really have an accident? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Or he and Cindy… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I dare not think about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I lay on the sofa, bored. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy kept sending me messages and asking, “is Sean back?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said, “No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No sooner had I finished texting than I heard the door open. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly got up from the sofa. I saw Sean come in from the outside and turn on the light. He froze when he saw me sitting on the sofa. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while he said, “sorry, I forgot to pick you up today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat there and watched Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked tired and his eyes were sunken. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The green stubble on his chin was a bit conspicuous. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He may be in a hurry in the morning so his beard hadn’t been shaved off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to say something but I hesitated and didn’t say it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Go to bed early.” Sean’s eyes just stayed on me for a second and then moved away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He turned and went upstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood behind him looking at his back and felt sad. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was Daisy right? Did he do anything with Cindy so he was exhausted? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was impossible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought that Sean was full of energy every time I was exhausted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I went upstairs, Sean was in the bathroom. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His suit was on the sofa. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I unconsciously stepped forward and took it up to smell it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was nothing but a faint smell of tobacco. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean came out of the bathroom when I smelled his clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I threw his clothes aside in panic. I looked up and saw Sean leaning against the bathroom door looking at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The light in the bedroom was off and he was backlit so I couldn’t see his expression. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought of seeing Cindy during the day and felt nervous. I didn’t know how to say it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Should I ask him directly? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He came up and put his arms around my waist. He put his chin gently on my shoulder. “Sorry, something happened recently. I ignored you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I see.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t think too much. It will be all right soon.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean said faintly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was that so? What happened to Cindy? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He had let me go and went to the bathroom when I wanted to ask. I opened my mouth but didn’t ask him my question at the end. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I woke up at seven the next day, but Sean left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was something wrong with his company? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My cell phone rang while I was thinking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked down and saw that it was a strange number. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
