Chapter 79 Count on him

*RENEE*

I finally grasped what had unsettled me.

It felt like a thorn piercing my heart. Tolerable unless disturbed, but its realness brought painful reminders.

The failed calls to Marcelo suddenly made sense to me.

“Renee…“Sarah looked at me with concern.

“I’m okay.“I smiled back at Sarah, but inside, it felt like something had punctured my heart. Two seconds later, I added almost to myself, “Besides, him and I are…”

The relationship between us wasn’t typical for a married couple.

I was in no position to be upset about his intimacy with another woman.

“Ladies, the ones who fought with you are gone. Do you plan to spend the night in our office?” The officer looked at me. “I recall your profile mentioning that you’re married Why not ask your husband to pick you up? Young lady, what’s your husband’s number?”

The officer was set to make a call.

Recalling the image I had just seen, I responded blankly, “No, thank you.”

“What?”

“He’s not coming.”

“Is he also deceased?” The officer was taken aback.

He probably assumed that both of us had lost our families, considering Sarah’s earlier mention of her family’s passing.

I recalled Marcelo saying he was my only family now.

Turns out I can’t count on him.

I was briefly stunned by the officer’s assumption. That wasn’t what I meant.I just couldn’t reach Marcelo.

But thinking of the photo, I quickly nodded and replied, “Yes.”

What was the difference between this kind of husband and a dead one?

But I also thought it was cruel.

Marcelo might be having an affair but he had also done a lot of good things to me that I was grateful for.

The officer tried to console me, “Don’t be too disheartened, young lady. You’re still young and beautiful. Perhaps you and your husband weren’t meant to be together.”
