NovelEnglishAs Carol was on the brink of slumber, her phone buzzed with a new message from Listina.
It was a picture of Felix. He was sprawled out on the couch by the bed, deep in sleep. But his face was still handsome, the very reason Carol had fallen for him at first sight.
[Felix isn't going back tonight. He's staying here with me, Carol. You're such a tramp, really. Just think, you married him and he still spends his nights like this with me. The villa he bought foris right next door to your place. If I were you, I'd be sick to my stomach. Oh, and by the way, we've already done the deed, and guess what? He didn't take medication while doing it with me, only with you.] In the past, Carol would forward Listina's provocative messages to Felix. The first few times, his indifferent response was always, "She's suffering from depression, not in her right mind, and she's been bedridden for years. Why lower yourself to her level?" Hearing the sanswer over and over again, Carol stopped bothering. Besides, she had figured out how to get back at Felix. Listina's messages disgusted her, but they weren't unbearable anymore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe thought it would be fricking best if those two stayed tangled up together forever. If Felix didn't want to get married, that was fine by her. She truly didn't want to marry Felix.
After everything that had happened, if she still entertained the thought of marrying him, she'd be real cheap.
She closed her eyes, trying to sleep, but then another message from Listina popped up.
[Felix woke up. He's kissingnow, and we're about to get started. Wantto livestream it for you, Ms. Miller?] Carol usually had no desire to engage with Listina. After all, she'd interacted with her multiple times and each tshe'd behave like a lunatic.
Pressing her lips, she hit the mute button on her phone, resting it beside her pillow. However, sleep eluded her. She wasn't keen on marrying Felix, but that didn't mean she was completely indifferent to everything about him.
She picked up her phone again and scrolled to her chat with Nathan.
[Are you asleep?] Nathan replied almost instantly.
[No, can't sleep?] Carol watched as he typed, raising an eyebrow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she was dating Felix, he rarely responded so quickly, but she figured he must be quick to reply to Listina. She found it amusing, telling herself she didn't care, yet she couldn't help making comparisons. A wicked idea crossed her mind - to let herself fall into this mess, making life hell for everyone, including herself. She was so tired, sometimes feeling like she could barely hold on. Her most beloved had swindled her beloved out of a fortune, sending her father to jail, betraying her love, her body All the resentment was building up, and she desperately wanted to lash out in revenge, or she might be the next one to fall into depression. Nathan sent a few more messages in quick succession.
[If you can't sleep, I'm here to chat.] [What interests you, Ms. Miller? Or maybe a trip to Crystalbrook Valley? That's where Ms. Pennyfeather grew up; I know it quite well.] [Or how about a drive in the countryside tomorrow? They've just developed a big park out there; heard it's got snice views.] Carol hadn't been out for a long time. Felix had kept her on a tight leash, only recently allowing her sfreedom, but if she didn't return on time, he'd get mad.
However, he felt free to spend the entire night with Listina without a word. The classic case of double standards by forbidding others to do what he was doing himself.
Carol chuckled to herself, feeling a sense of vindication from Nathan's barrage of messages that lifted her spirits.
[Don't you have work tomorrow?] [I do, but I can finish early. Meet at 4 PM?] Nathan's eagerness nearly leaped off the screen, and Carol found it quite amusing.
[Sure, I'll wait for you at the mall closest to the Miller Group building.] mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
