Daniel glanced at him coldly. “She was playing a game at Josh’s apartment yesterday and didn’t go to
pick up the kids.”
“Hm…” William stroked his chin and muttered, “You suspect that she’s having an affair with Josh? And
that all her earlier promises to you were false?”
Daniel did not reply.
Yet undeniably, William had guessed right.
“Then have you asked Alice about it? You can’t just go off on suspicion for such things,” William asked
cautiously.
“She explained”
“She said that it was alright, and they were just friends, right?” William had investigated Alice before,
and though she had had some romantic history in the past, most of the men had said good things
about her.
Especially people like Frankie Ward, who supposedly treated her like a little sister to be pampered.
Josh was from the Kaur family, and his tastes were similar to others in the family, so he was probably
treating Alice as just family, too, even helping Daniel to make plans.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus, he believed in Alice.
As for Daniel, he nodded and then casually added, “She smokes. Josh taught her to.”
“Well…” William felt that he had cracked the case. He lifted an eyebrow and smiled. “Daniel, you’re not
getting jealous because of Josh, are you?”
“No, I don’t love her and won’t get jealous!” Daniel immediately replied, his face darkening at once.
Yet William thought back to Alice’s Instagram post last night and started boldly speculating, “Alice
asked you about that too, and you said you didn’t love her, wouldn’t get jealous, and some more
unpleasant things, right?”
Daniel went silent.
“That is another correct guess, again,” he thought.
“Gosh! No wonder she reacted like that.” William gently touched his forehead and looked at Daniel with
exasperation. “Daniel, did you know you stepped on a landmine last night?
“No girl likes it when her husband suspects her like that and even says he doesn’t like her! Moreover,
the fact that Alice tried to explain shows that she cares about you!”
“Cares about me?” Daniel frowned. Why didn’t it feel that way to him?
“Those young artists I’m working with are all good friends with Alice. They all say that she’s very clear-
cut when it comes to love and hate and that if she didn’t care, she definitely wouldn’t consider it worth
her time to say even one more word to
you.
“Besides, you’re bothered by the fact that Josh taught her to smoke, but have you forgotten her
occupation? She’s an actress! When she first joined the industry, all the roles she got were sinister
female supporting roles!”
“Most of those roles required smoking! How could she act if she didn’t know how to smoke?”
Daniel fell silent. Right, there was no problem with learning to smoke for the sake of acting.
“As for Josh being the one who taught her. Don’t you know Josh’s personality? You should be glad
because if it were someone else teaching her, she would have been taken advantage of right away!
“If that had happened, do you think you would even have had the chance to marry her and gotten such
a nice wife so easily in the first place?”
The more William talked about it, the more he felt wronged on Alice’s behalf. “Furthermore, if she really
had the same vices as some other girls in showbiz, she wouldn’t have married a selfish you with no
house, no car, and a lot of stress!”
A dim glimmer arose within Daniel’s eyes. “So, it’s my fault?”
William nodded. “Of course, it’s your fault! You had better find some way to apologize to Alice!”
Now he sympathized with Alice for her having met a domineering chauvinist like Daniel. “Oh, poor girl!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe exclaimed inwardly.
At that moment, Daniel’s phone chimed. It was a WhatsApp message.
And it was from Coco.

After reading it, Daniel had a slightly conflicted expression.
Curious, William leaned over to look and smacked the table a few seconds later, saying, “Daniel, where
else can you find such a good wife? Even when you’re giving each other the silent treatment, she still
helped you to explain things to the
kids!”
Daniel stared at the message from his son for quite a while and then asked in a not-so-natural tone,
“What should I give
her?”
*Didn’t Coco already tell you? Give her flowerst” William fished out his phone and started motioning for
him. “This… let’s go with this flower!”
