Chapter 104
“I was busy. What's up?” | asked in a flat voice.
“| fell and scraped my knee. It’s all red and it hurts so much.” Yvonne suddenly started bawling.
| comforted her in a flat voice. “Don’t cry. Just be more careful next time.
“Mom, where are you? | want you to ctake care of me,” Yvonne sniffled.
“I'm in Shaville,” | said, not hiding it from her.
“Are you in Shaville for work?” Yvonne asked, her voice still choked with tears.
| wanted to say no, that | was here for a trip, but thinking about her hurt leg, | just said yes.
Yvonne kept complaining for a while, sounding all pitiful, but then it seemed like she got another call. She quickly
said, “Mom, I've got to go. Bye.”
| tossed my phone aside and walked over to the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window. The sun was sinking in the west,
its afterglow lingering softly across the city.
My phone started ringing again. It was Jared calling. | acted like | didn’t see it and just let it ring.
Jared senta text. [Where are you?]
I replied: [What do you want?]
[I’m coming to see you,] Jared texted back right away.
[You should handle your business first. I'm fine on my own,] | replied, my voice calm and steady. Gone was the
needy, desperate tone from my previous life; now | sounded completely unbothered.
Jared called again, so | picked up.

His voice was tinged with exhaustion. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
| answered, sounding indifferent, “I don’t really have anything in mind.”
“I know you didn’t like the Shaville food at lunch. Tonight, I'll take you out for something you actually like,” Jared
said in a considerate tone.
Suddenly, | realized that Shaville cuisine was Tracy's favorite, since her mother’s family was from Shaville and
her father was from Hachester.
So Jared had spent over two hours in the car just to cto Shaville and eat Tracy's favorite food with her. He's
really
obsessed with her.
“No need. I'm fine on my own. You should focus on your work,” | replied, being even more considerate than he
was.
“Where are you?” Jared sounded impatient. “Are you really by yourself?”
Hearing that jealous tone from him, I finally realized that Jared was actually suspicious of me.
He'd spent the whole afternoon getting cozy with his mistress, and now he suddenly remembered his neglected
wife and wondered if | was the one cheating.

“Jared, is there really no trust between us at all?” | snapped, anger flaring. “If you're always going to think I'm
cheating. maybe we should just divorce.”
“I'm not doubting you. I've already handled everything on my end, Jared replied, his voice calm but firm.
| didn’t want him coming over because, honestly, the thought of him having sex with Tracy.
He'd probably spent the whole afternoon cozying up to Tracy, and now he wanted to crawl into my bed at night?
Please. I'm not sdumping ground for whatever mess he brings back.
“No, really, don’t worry about me. | just want stto myself,” | insisted, making it clear | wasn’t changing
my mind.
In the end, I still didn’t tell him where | was. But of course, Jared had his ways.
He managed to trackdown to the hotel | was staying at that night. It was only then that | remembered that
