Rupert was at home, peeling an apple for Claudia. Claudia leaned against his shoulder, enjoying his care.
“You fell asleep, and I couldn’t wake you up. I didn’t know where you lived, and I couldn’t just leave you on the street, so f had no choice but to take you to a hotel,” Rupert explained, handing Claudia a slice of apple.
Claudia took it happily and ate it.
“How much was the room? I’ll pay you back,” Doris said, unwilling to owe Rupert anything.
“It wasn’t much. Forget about it,” Rupert said generously. “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
After ending the call, Doris freshened up and left the hotel.
Just as she stepped outside, she ran into Lewis, whom she hadn’t seen for days.
Lewis recognized Doris immediately. She looked even thinner and more fragile than before.
Their eyes met for a brief second before they both quickly looked away, neither greeting the other.
Lewis‘ lips pressed into a tight line. His deep, eyes were like an ancient well–cold and unreadable.
Since this woman was treating him like a stranger, he would pretend not to know her too.
Doris had a mix of resentment and guilt. She hadn’t expected to run into her husband the moment she walked out of a hotel.
She thought, ‘Is he going to let his imagination run wild and pin some ridiculous accusation on me again?‘
The thought of the necklace he had thrown away made Doris furious all over again.
She then plastered a bright smile on her face and greeted Daniel. “Daniel, long time no see.”
Daniel could tell the tension between Doris and Lewis.
He stole a glance at Lewis beside him, thinking, ‘Could it be that Lewis‘ bad mood these past few days has something to do with Doris?‘
“Ms. Reed, hello. What are you doing here?” Daniel forced a smile, though it looked rather stiff.
