Chapter 6  “Are you sure you can walk?” He raises his eyebrow and tilts his head to look at my swollen ankle. It makes me shy. He’s just looking at my ankles, but I feel like I’m naked. I move my feet a little, and my face begins to burn. “My colleagues and leaders are there. I don’t want to draw too much attention. ” I’m sure he knows what I mean. But he doesn’t put me down. Hearing his rhythmic heartbeat, I feel both nervous and relieved. Although I’ve been taught not to trust strangers since I was a child, I want to believe in him. My intuition tells me that he won’t hurt me. No one catches up with us and I’m gradually relieved. Just now, I was really worried Maisy was not gonna let me leave. He doesn’t take me back to the lobby, so I breath a sigh of relief. But then I’m confused.

It’s really hard to get a taxi. I haven’t seen a car come through here since we got here. “Thank you so much

. ” He picks me up again and looks down at me with a smile. “My pleasure. ” The parking lot is opposite the hotel. His car’s worth about one hundred thousand grand. After sitting down, I can’t help observing him curiously. I didn’t get a good look at his face because of the light. Now I can clearly see his side face. “You’re curious about what I look like?” He teases me. I don’t know what to reply. Halfway through the way, he breaks the silence. “That shrew is a mistress, and that man is your ex husband. ” I don’t answer, but I slowly clench my fist. He’s not asking me, isn’t he? “So you are that poor ex-wife. ” He says slowly. His words make my heart ache. I haven’t fully recovered from this painful memory, and I don’t want to talk about it. But he doesn’t need my answer. He speaks to himself, “The youngest daughter of the Cook family, Maisy Cook, fell in love with a married man, so she tried every means to drive his wife out. A year ago, she became that man’s wife as she wished. The ex-wife is you. ” “How do you know that?” I look at his side face.
