“Hi, Mrs. Hughes, what a coincidence.” Jemima Wallace smiled, and her red lips were sexy. “Are you going out?”
“Yup, quite a coincidence. Are you going out too?”
“Yes!” Jemima smiled.
“I’m leaving. Goodbye.” Sylvie hurriedly said a few words and walked right past Jemima.
“Goodbye.” Jemima nodded politely and then she left.
The phone rang again. Sylvie finally had no choice but answered the phone.
A tense voice immediately came from the side of the phone, “Where are you?”
“Downstairs in the lobby!” Sylvie said.
“Oh!” Marley was relieved in an instant. “Sylvie, come up here! Have you eaten?”
“Have you eaten?” She asked instead of answering him.
“No!”
“Let’s eat together!” She said. “At the hotel restaurant! I’m now going up and we’ll meet there!”
“Okay!” He said.
Ten minutes later, they gathered at the hotel restaurant.
When Marley finally met Sylvie, he slowly glanced at her. He didn't see the difference in her face, and Sylvie was smiling calmly. "What do you want to eat?"
"Just now—"
"I would like to have steak. It's been a long time since I've had steak, I miss it!" Sylvie interrupted him. She didn't want to hear anything, and she didn't need any explanation from him.
Marley felt a little embarrassed that she had interrupted him. His gaze shifted from her to the waiter aside.
After ordering the meal, both of them sat there. Sylvie picked up the glass of pure water and took a sip.
"Sylvie, Jemima and I actually—"
"I believe in you!" She said softly, "You don’t have to tell me, there’re some things that I really don't want to know!"
After Marley heard what Sylvie said, he desisted.
Just, what was in her mind?
He realized that although she was sitting in front of him at the moment, yet she seemed very far away from him.
She smiled and put down her glass.
He looked at her faint smile which could barely be noticed. His hands were resting under the table. He couldn't help but tighten his fist. He started to feel a little annoyed and he couldn’t help frowning.
When she saw him frowning, she was distressed for him, and she also felt heartbroken. She was distressed because his face was filled with sorrow; she felt heartbroken because the one who could soothe his sorrow wasn’t her.

However, I don’t even seem to be in a position to say that I mind. After all, our marriage was a union, and neither of us wanted that at the beginning. In fact, I just want you to be truthful with yourself. If you want to leave and go to Jemima, I really won’t blame you. But please don’t let me be the last one to know about it! I can agree to break
