"Perhaps it's because of the traffic," Michelle offered. "It is rush hour. Traffic was so bad on my way back ho so they must have gotten caught in it," she added. She returned Cynthia's smile because it was impossible not to be infected by her pleasant manner.
"Whatever. I don't care where they go as long as they co back in one piece. By the way, look at you. It seems to that you look more radiant and happier than the last ti I saw you. Let guess, does it have anything to do with Lukie?" Her eyes twinkled teasingly. As soon as Michelle entered the house, she found her daughter-in-law looking happier than usual. She was aware of how much Michelle had suffered in the past few days. So it was good to see her this way. The joyful and radiant look suited her well.
"Uhmmm… Oh, they're back! Dad and Justin are here," she announced. A blush had colored Michelle's face at her mother-in-law's teasing. She was too shy to answer. Honestly, Michelle had no idea what to say. Fortunately, Jonathan and Justin arrived, saving her from having to answer Cynthia's query. So, Michelle quickly changed the subject to divert attention away from her.
"You keep dodging my question, sneaky girl," Cynthia pretended to scold her but stopped asking anyway. She could tell the young woman was embarrassed, prompting her to drop the subject. As long as she was happy, Cynthia didn't mind what was going on between her and Luke.
Laughing nervously, Michelle said, "The food slls delicious. I'm going to the kitchen to check out what Mrs. Wu is cooking." She walked off to escape further interrogation. Michelle was really in a good mood recently because of the way things were betw
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other won.
Eventually she stord off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishnt.
look on her face when she heard what Justin called Jonathan. It was strange that she didn't think it was possible that the man was married, and that he was much older than her.
"That's good to know," Cynthia said. "So, as soon as your grandpa saw that it was a beautiful woman, he kept looking at her?" she prodded the boy. Of course, Cynthia knew Jonathan well. And he was not the type of man who would be unfaithful to his wife, even in thoughts. That was why she didn't take Justin's words too seriously. She only asked to go along with little Justin. Cynthia knew the kind of boy her grandson was, and she was willing to go along with his teasing.
"Yes, that's right. That woman stood in front of our car, blocking our way, and refused to budge. She even demanded grandpa to buy her a new car. That's just ridiculous! So, grandpa glared at her with his cold and frightening eyes until she felt uneasy and decided to finally leave. That's what happened." Justin was very excited as he related their experience as if it was so make-believe tale. He told Cynthia every small detail of what happened on their way ho.
