NovelEnglishChapter 79
In their room, although Yvonne had a gut feeling that Samuel's house would not be as luxurious as Fred's, she
was still curious about the location of the place. Their unit was on the sixth floor now, and they had to climb the
stairs every single day. The exercise just wore their bones down quickly. Even if the house was not in an area as
nice as Fred's, she would be happy if it had an elevator.
"Are you still going to keep it a secret around me?" Yvonne asked her husband.
"You actually see it every day," he replied, smiling.
"Every day?" Yvonne frowned. Disappointment tinged her chest. If it was a place she saw every day, it would
likely be confined to the boundaries of their residential area. If so, her dreams of not having to climb the stairs
every damn day were dashed.
"Oh, right. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" he asked. "It's a Sunday."
"| already promised to go shopping with Linda. | have to remedy the pain you inflicted upon her," she said,
glaring at him.
Samuel did not know whether to laugh or cry. Had Linda not recovered from that incident?

The next day, the couple heard yelling noises from the living room the moment they woke up. Lydia was
cursing like a drunken sailor so early in the morning. Who was making her angry this time?
"Mom, what are you doing? Who offended you?" Yvonne walked into the living room with bedraggled hair. She
checked the clock; it was not even 6.00am.
Lydia's features were twisted in fury. "Your Aunt Flora has gone barking mad!" she snarled.
"Mad?" Yvonne was alert all of the sudden. She asked," What's wrong? What happened to her?"
The first possibility that cto Yvonne's mind was that they used her craziness as an excuse to not return the
money, but it did not seem probable. This excuse was too outrageous, even for a madwoman.
"The money got stolen, and she calledasking if | was the one who hired someone to steal it from them. As if!
She's crazy!" Lydia was so furious that she wanted to throttle Flora over the phone. She was upset enough that
she had lent the two hundred thousand bucks, and had lost quite a few good nights' sleep over the matter. The
thought of the money was still a constant pinprick by her side, and they had the gall to bare their teeth at her
now that they lost the money!
"They're nuts." Yvonne managed to rein in her temper, but it flared up a beat later. "Mom, do you think she's
lying?"
"They reported the theft. It's probably not a hoax," her mother replied.
Yvonne was stunned; her insides were dancing with delight. It seemed God was dispensing justice; he would not
let such a crooked family get away scot-free.
"You'd better go back to sleep, Mom. No use getting angry over this. We've already given the money. It has
nothing to do with you if they lose it," Yvonne reassured her mother.
Lydia huffed back into her room in a flurry. Moments later, Godfrey's pained cries rang out; he probably became
her punching bag again.
Yvonne told everything to Samuel while he was brushing his teeth in the toilet. "God probably can't stand them
any longer," he said, expressionless.
She patted his shoulder happily. "Great minds think alike," she said. "Never expected you to have the strain
of thought as | do."
Samuel grinned and said, "Quickly brush your teeth. It's almost tfor us to go."
Yvonne rammed her hip into him and shoved him aside. "You're in my way," she said. "So don't rush me."

Since Samuel was done washing up, he returned to the room, finding Yvonne's blanket unfolded. He helped to
tidy it up.
While he was arranging the pillows, he noticed that the scissors were gone. His lips unknowingly curled at the
corners.
Throughout these three years, Yvonne had thought that Samuel did not know that she hid scissors beneath the
pillow, but she forgot that he was the one who always changed their sheets. 1 "Don't tellI'll get an
opportunity to sleep with her on the bed soon?" Samuel muttered to himself. Then he shook his head and buried
the notion at the back of his mind. He had just been couched two nights ago; he did not want to be chased out of
the house.
They went for the morning jog, taking the sroute they always did, resting at the sresting spot.
When Yvonne slowed down and stopped, she looked toward Cloudridge Hill. She saw that renovations were
underway at Hillside Villa. "Why did the renovation start early today?" she murmured, curious.
"The owners are probably eager to move in," Samuel said, smiling.
Yvonne nodded. The owners were likely to be excited about staying in their new luxurious villa. Rumors said that
a sea of clouds submerged Hillside Villa on a misty day. It would definitely be a sight to behold.
"You askedwhere the secondhand house is, right?" Samuel suddenly said to Yvonne.
