"En, there's nothing to buy. I'll be back first." Lucy tried his best to pull at the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

Aunty Julianne looked at her and said, "Madam, do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want a doctor to come?"

Mrs. Johnson's face was very pale!

"No." Lucy lowered his gaze and pretended to be indifferent as he asked, "Aunty Julianne, how many years have you been by Arthur's side?"

"Let me think about it. When Mr. Johnson was fourteen, I came over... It's been almost fifteen years. Time flies so fast. It's over in the blink of an eye!" Aunty Julianne sighed with emotion.

"Yes, it's been quite a while." She was entangled with Arthur for eight years. "Aunty Julianne, have you seen Elyse before?"

Aunty Julianne was stunned for a moment and said carefully, "I've seen him a few times."

In fact, it wasn't just a few times. When he was in junior high school, he liked the girl named Elyse very much and often invited her to play at home.

"Then how much do you think Arthur likes her?" Lucy's voice was extremely soft, and there was a hint of bitterness and envy within it.

Aunty Julianne looked away and did not answer the question directly. "No matter how much you like it, it's all in the past. Now you're the one that Mr. Johnson likes."

The husband used to like the girl named Elyse very much, but since five years ago, the husband had been looking at his wife's photos.

She didn't know what his real thoughts were, but she felt that he liked his wife.

Lucy's smile was extremely bitter.

Seeing this, Aunty Julianne comforted her. "If he didn't like you, why would he marry you? Mrs. Johnson, don't think too much. You can live a good life."

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Aunty Julianne." Lucy did not ask any more questions and went upstairs.

Aunty Julianne didn't answer her directly, but she knew that Arthur liked Elyse very much.


If he hadn't liked her very much, he wouldn't have taken photos of Elyse from time to time during the three years he had been married to her. He wouldn't have shouted Elyse's name when he had sex with her!

Lucy sat on the bed, his fingertips gently brushing across his stomach. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed Arthur's number.

As soon as he made the call, the call was connected, but he didn't say anything.

"Arthur, I remember you telling me two months ago that Elyse isn't the president's secretary, right?" Lucy held his phone tightly and all the cells in his body tightened together.

Arthur answered, and his cold and pleasant voice came along with the microphone. "Why do you ask this?"

"I'm fine." Lucy's intestines seemed to be twisted together. "I met Elyse when I was shopping today. I was just curious."

She hung up the phone and called an acquaintance of the personnel department of the Johnson family. "The New Year is coming. I would like to prepare a gift for the secretary of Arthur, who needs to be signed on it. Can you help me with that list?"

"Of course I have to agree to this kind of casual thing! Ms. Morgan, no, I should say, Mrs. Johnson, don't forget to put in a good word for me in front of the president!"

"No problem."

The locals were very efficient. In less than five minutes, they sent an email.

Lucy looked at the email that contained information. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened the email.

The vice president's form was divided into two parts: name and position. The first part of the form was Elyse's name, and the latter part was the president's secretary.

"Arthur, you lied to me again..." She threw the phone on the bed and covered her cheeks with her trembling hands. There was liquid flowing out between her fingers.

So, he chose to stay with her because he cared about Caden's feelings?

Ha, she had always thought that he had a strong desire to control himself and did not want her to leave. It turned out that he was just wishful thinking!

Gulp—

Gulp—

Lucy picked up the phone and maintained his calm voice. "I've already received the list. Thank you so much."

"We used to be business partners. You're too polite! Ms. Morgan, I called to tell you that Elyse was just dead. She didn't do anything practical. Would you like to give her a gift? You can take a look."

"Well, thank you for your reminder. By the way, I wish you a happy new year and a happy new year. Next year, you will get a promotion!"

The two of them chatted for a while before ending the call.

Lucy licked his dry lips and accidentally licked his tears. It was a little salty and bitter. It turned out that Elyse didn't do anything practical in the company. She had the title of the president's secretary, which was just convenient for her to get in touch with Arthur.

The truth was really hard to accept!

...

In the evening.

When Aunty Julianne saw Arthur coming back, she greeted him happily. "Mrs. Johnson specially cooked a table of dishes for you today. You have to eat more tonight."

"Mm." Arthur's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled into an indistinct arc. It had been a long time since he had eaten the food she cooked.
