Coleen was filled with regret, but it was too late now. They hadn't believed their daughter back then.

They had insisted on her marrying their son, despite her reluctance.

When Chad got home, he found himself inexplicably given the cold shoulder by his parents, who wouldn't even talk to him. If Chad wanted to say something, he had to go through Molly to communicate.

One evening, he sat on the edge of the bed, watching Molly studying cultural history on her tablet.

He figured his mother's disdain for him had to have been fueled by something Molly told her, which in turn, his mother must have relayed to his father, causing them to look down on him continuously. But he didn't know what Molly had told his mother. So, Chad intentionally took a detour to Molly's side of the bed, intending to pressure her psychologically.

People who go behind others' backs to complain often feel too guilty to get too close to those they've wronged. Chad purposefully sat at the edge of Molly's bed, his hands sneaking under the blanket to grab her knees. "What made you decide to tell my mom about that? Were you happy when I was called away to be lectured?" Chad's hands slowly moved up from her knees to her thighs.

Molly felt panicked. "Called away for a lecture? So, he knows and wants to settle the score?"

"I didn't say anything wrong. We had nothing to do with each other before we got married. You forced me into this marriage. I had to let Mom know that I was a good girl before our marriage, that nothing happened between us! So that our parents wouldn't misunderstand me."

Officer Chad had successfully provoked a reaction again.

"Put down the tablet, let's go to sleep early tonight."

Molly glanced at the time. "Chad, today is an odd-numbered day. It's not your day to indulge! If you want to sleep, you sleep; I'm not going to."

Chad snatched the tablet away. "You went behind my back to complain, why should I stick to any odd or even days?"

Molly instantly scrambled out from under the blankets, attempting to flee as Chad swiftly got up, knelt on the bed, and pressed down on her back as she tried to escape.

She had planned to escape, but before she could get off the bed, she was pressed down, face-first into the mattress.
