"Janet!" Ethan was stunned to see her there. He immediately hung up the phone and ran after her.In that split second he had seen the sad expression on her face.She looked as if she had just suffered a terrible blow out of the blue.

Janet turned a deaf ear to him.She quickly made her way to the elevator while keeping her head down, so no one would see the tears that were already streaming down her cheeks.

Although Ethan walked as quickly as he could, he couldn’t catch up with the elevator before the doors shut.He pressed the button several times, but the doors didn’t open.

The elevator had already gone up.It was obvious to Ethan that his wife had misunderstood the whole situation this time.He wanted to speak to her before things got out of hand.

In a haste, he took another elevator and went home.

But when he got in, he saw that Janet had already locked herself up in her room again.

The entire house was as quiet as a grave.

The dim moonlight fell on the windowsill.It seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Janet, please open the door.I need to talk to you."

Ethan knocked on the wooden door heavily with his clenched fist.He pressed his ear against the door.

But he didn’t hear anything from the other side.

Afterward, he turned the doorknob again, but the door was still locked from the inside.
