Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Heather woke up early in the morning. As soon as Heather got up, Lee woke up. He turned his head and asked gently, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?” Heather said with a smile, “Well, it’s a holiday, and I don’t wanna sleep late.” “It’s alright. You can sleep a little longer if you want. From now on, we can spend every day like a holiday,” Lee said, his voice tinged with languor. Last night, they set off fireworks till one in the morning. After that, they stayed up late talking with each other until past three in the morning and went to sleep when they couldn’t take it anymore. Back in the room, Lee was aroused and had sex with her before falling asleep. It was almost dawn before they went to bed. Lee estimated that they only had one hour of sleep at most. Heather said, “Get up. We should be getting ready to visit other relatives. Come on, it’s a tradition in our family. After the holiday, I want to make a trip to Horington and meet Kent. It’s all thanks to him taking care of Anna for so many years.” When Lee heard that Heather wanted to see Kent, his expression changed slightly. Heather was surprised. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing.” Lee did not want Heather to be unhappy during the holiday. Still, as soon as Lee looked away, Heather felt that something was wrong. She asked, “What’s wrong?” “It’s really fine. Let’s get up. Come, you don’t have to wear a coat at home. You can just wear this vest,” Lee said as he helped Corona carry the vest. Heather sat on the bed and looked at Lee with a serious expression. “What happened to Kent? Is he still alive?” she asked. Her first reaction was to wonder if her brother was sick or had passed away. “Don’t worry, he’s alive and well,” Lee said. How could a selfish person like Kent not live well? “Then what was that look on your face?” asked Heather, still a little worried. Lee helped Corona put on her vest with a gentle smile and said. “I just don’t want to go to Horington. Well, I think we should still go there after the holiday and remove that tomb. It’s inauspicious.” Heather smiled and said, “Oh, no wonder. I see.” Heather was in a car accident 17 years ago. Kent prepared a cemetery for her and erected a monument in memory of her. The two of them got up and washed up before going out for breakfast. It was surprising that everyone else woke up earlier than them. At the sight of them, Annalise and Julian immediately greeted them. “Dad, Mom, good morning!” The servant also greeted politely, “Mrs. Xander, Mr. Xander, good morning.” “Morning, everyone,” Lee said with a smile. “Morning!” Heather was a little embarrassed when she realized that she was the last to get up. Lee could tell that at a glance. With a smile, he reached out to hold her hand and said, “Come, let’s have breakfast.” After sitting down, Heather felt a little more at ease. Old Mr. Parks came back from a walk in the courtyard. His face was full of joy as he said, “Good morning, everyone.” “Old Mr. Parks, it’s cold outside. You don’t have to go out so early,” Annalise said with concern. “Haha, it’s fine. I’m already used to it. I feel like I’m missing something if I don’t go out for a walk,” said Old Mr. Parks who was all smiles. Later, Lee took Heather, Trevor, and Julian to the Xander family. Annalise had also planned to go, but everyone unanimously didn’t think it was a good idea. As it was snowy outside, which made the road slippery, and the traffic condition was unknown, everyone believed it was better for Annalise, a pregnant woman, to stay home. Who knew if there would be a traffic jam? Pregnant women tended to pee frequently and would feel uncomfortable sitting in the car for so long. Annalise looked at everyone’s serious expressions and laughed. “Alright, I’m at home. Be careful.” Lee and his group went to the Xander family. Unexpectedly, the journey was smooth. It only took half an hour to reach the Xander family. Old Mr. Xander was delighted to see them visit them. He felt that their visit added a festive atmosphere to the family. Jolene was also especially polite to Lee and Heather. Jolene heard from Sybil what Lee wanted to tell her yesterday. She was very grateful. Sybil knew that Heather had suffered a lot. Since Annalise did not come today and she was free, Sybil held Heather’s hand and said smilingly, “Heather, I’ll show you around.” “Okay,” Heather replied. “Have a good time,” Lee said to them. He was afraid that Sybil would bring up the matter of the past twenty years with Heather. Heather wouldn’t feel good if she heard that he had been bedridden for the past twenty years. “Alright,” Sybil said with a smile. She held Heather’s arm and went to the courtyard. “Heather, look, these orchids have been around for many years. The flowers are blooming every year. They are so very beautiful. Also, the plum blossoms here have been here for many years. Heather, let me help you take photos,” said Sybil. “No, I don’t like to take photos,” Heather declined tactfully. Heather wasn’t confident about her looks as she aged. Sybil did not force her. She smiled and said, “Heather, can you help me take a few photos?” “Okay,” Heather replied. Sybil immediately took photos in various poses. After the two of them got to know each other, Sybil wanted to take a photo with Heather. Heather could only smile and let her do so. Sybil then dragged Heather to visit her room again. After that, she held Heather’s hand and said, “Heather, you and Lee should come back more often. You can stay on both sides.” Now that Yechiel had passed away, Old Mr. Xander was lonely. He enjoyed a crowded atmosphere. The more, the merrier. “Yes, alright,” Heather replied. Sybil said, her voice tinged with envy, “Although Anna and Kalyan suffered a lot, it’s all worth it since you and Lee are doing so well.” “Did Anna suffer a lot?” Heather asked, surprised. She had asked Lee and Anna, and they had all said that everything was fine with them. Heather had asked Kent to take care of Anna. Why would she suffer? Sybil was forthright in character. When Heather asked, Sybil told her the truth. “That’s right. Anna was left in the countryside when she was six years old and couldn’t even be fed well. She was skinny. Fortunately, she met Master Quigley, who was kind-hearted enough and saved her. Otherwise, who knows if Anna would have grown up alive?” Heather’s anger surged when she heard that. “Kent left her to the countryside?” Sybil nodded and said, “That’s right! People are profit seekers. In this world, how many people do crazy things for benefits?” When she thought of the series of dirty things that Kent and his family had done, Sybil felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. Others might not know, but Sybil had been in contact with Henry for a long time. She knew all too well. Back then, Old Mr. Parks had decided to let Julian marry Abigail, Kent’s daughter. Before Old Mr. Parks went to Horington, Julian deliberately spread the news that he was 52 years old and ugly. When Abigail found out that Julian was old and ugly, she snatched Annalise’s boyfriend. Later, the family found out that Julian was young and handsome and wanted to go back on their word. Heather gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, people are profit seekers.” Back then, Kent had sworn to her that they would treat Annalise as his daughter. Unexpectedly, he only raised Annalise for three years. Lee knew that Sybil was a straightforward person. He was afraid that Sybil would say something that displeased Heather. He chatted with his father and Jolene for a while before coming to look for Heather. He shouted from afar, “Heather!”
