Chapter 14 - 14: Doubts
"Daryl?"
She gave a tentative shout into the bathroom but no one answered. The uneasiness in her heart gradually surged up again, devouring her last reason. She opened the bedroom door and walked softly to the living room, fearing to wake her sleeping daughter. Turned on the light, finding that he was still not there.
She went to the bathroom in the kitchen, study and living room.
Neither. He didn’t find Daryl. Thinking that he might be fooling around with other women when he went out, Trixie couldn't restrain her emotions.
She entered Daryl's mobile phone number, but she didn’t dare to dial it. She's scared. Her hands were shaking all the time, and she almost couldn't hold her mobile phone.
"Trixie?"
Someone from behind, a hand suddenly patted her, she exclaimed, and hurriedly look back.
Daryl kept patting her and she was obviously frightened by him.
"Why don't you sleep?" Daryl asked.
Seeing her sitting on the sofa, he was surprised. But he quickly calmed down as usual and explained with a smile, "The customer suddenly called. I was afraid of waking you up, so I went to the balcony and smoked a cigarette by the way."
Smelling the smell of tobacco on him, she was still dubious. "It was already midnight and they still call you?" She frowned at him to express her dissatisfaction.
"It was American time, there is no way." He had no choice but to hand the mobile phone directly to her. "If you don't believe me, can I lie to you?"
Have you lied to me less often? She instinctively wanted to take this sentence, but her reason still let her swallow it.
She looked down at the address book page of his mobile phone and scratched it casually. Indeed, there were only a few bosses who had close contacts with him. She also went to see them with him.
Returning the mobile phone to him, she got up and walked to the bedroom.
He stared at her back and couldn't help but say, "Trixie, how have you been suspicious recently? Did someone say something to you?"
"No." She answered. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Her head also didn't turn because she looked stuffy and about to cry.
He stepped forward, held her in his arms from behind and kissed her on the face. Then he comforted her. "Stop entertaining foolish ideas. As I said, I will only love you forever."
The gentleness of him makes her shake again. She has no evidence, and she only makes wild conjectures by virtue of some accidental things, which is really a little arbitrary. But his secrets really made her unable to let go. She did not dare to think how much the man had lied to her.
The next day, she was woken up by her daughter. She overslept at the thought that it was still early. She didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.
She called Frank and asked for a vacation. She got up and packed up and sent her daughter to school.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Jessa, who also came to see off the children, and said hello to her. The two sent the children in, walked out together, and chatted while walking.
"Why are you sending Kinsley today? Daryl has something to do?" Asked Jessa.
She smiled embarrassedly. "He should have left in advance. I got up late and so I sent her."
"When can the one who killed thousands of knives in my family be as worry-free as you? I can burn high incense!" Jessa said with resentment, "This man is rich but not good, I just finished packing up the graduate student two days ago, and this gave me another secretary! Dog things play with flowers every time!"
Mentioning this, Jessa Huggins’ root itched, she didn't notice her abnormality.
"I tell you sister; you have to be on guard. Don't be like a fool all day and don't know anything.. These men have many eyes!" She said with conviction.
