Chapter 52 Jeffrey’s Text Message

Betty was too frustrated to focus on working, so she handed over her work to Jessica and asked for leave to go home.

She reached the Martin family by taxi, walked to the hallway, and took off her shoes. She felt so exhausted that she didn’t want to walk in. So, she sat at the front entrance, lost in thoughts.

Jeffrey… You impress me again…

I thought you couldn’t hurt me more, but you could be crueler than I could have imagined.

Two years ago, you tricked me into sleeping with another man. This time, you even used the money to humiliate me.

It was noon. Kerwin was usually in the company at this hour.

“I’m back to get some stuff,” Kerwin explained briefly and his eyes fell on Betty’s red eyes. “How about you? Why did you come back so early?”

“I’ve finished today’s job, so I came back…” Betty made up an excuse. Realizing Kerwin was still holding her, she blushed. “Can… Can you put me down? It’s not good to be seen…”

“I’m the only one at home,” Kerwin said faintly and walked to the living room with Betty in his arms. “It’s not good to sit on the ground. Don’t do that anymore.”

Kerwin put Betty down on the couch and asked quietly, “Did you eat lunch?”

Only then did she realize she was so angry and forgot to have lunch. “Have you?”

“Not yet.”

“Wait. I’ll cook for you.” Since Lillian was not at home, Betty decided to cook for Kerwin. However, as soon as she rose to her feet, something came into her mind. She said awkwardly, “Can I cook
