“She’s having an affair out there?”
Alex’s footsteps instantly came to a halt as he looked at Beatrice shockingly. “You’re not joking, right?”
For a moment, Alex could feel that he was being cuckolded, it was even a strong feeling.
Beatrice immediately said, “Bro Alex, I’m not trying to provoke the feelings between you and my sister but there really is quite a big change! Even you know that my sister used to be a strong and independent woman who stays in the company all the day. She even wishes dearly she could stay in the company even on weekends. But now she rarely goes to the company. If she isn’t out for business trips, she would lock herself in her room. I don’t even know what she does in there.”
Alex frowned. He remembered that the close female friends around himself were increasing. The romantic relationships with Waltz, Maya and Cheryl were basically cast in stone. On the contrary, the time he spent with Dorothy was getting lesser.
He indeed slightly neglected her during this period of time. They might have only met each other twice or thrice within a month.
If she really had complaints and fell in love with someone else… It was not really impossible. Most importantly, she was the most beautiful woman in California and the men who were courting her were as many as the carps in the river. It would be quite normal for a peerless rich young heir or successful man out of nowhere to take advantage of the situation.
When he thought about it, he did not feel good.
He panickily asked, “Apart from this, is there anything special about her lately? Is there any man who took the initiative to come and look for her? Or, did she talk on the phone secretly or something?”
Beatrice looked at him. “Bro Alex, you’re getting scared.”
Alex said, “How can I not be scared? You’re telling me that my wife has another man outside. I’ve been cuckolded. Which man wouldn’t be scared of it?”
Beatrice sighed. “If we’re talking about any man who came looking for her, I’ve never seen one. But a few nights ago, she suddenly said that she needed to go on a business trip and immediately went missing for a few days. She didn’t even bring her phone with her, my mom and I were terribly worried… Oh, it must be that she couldn’t accept your life of having numerous women. She’s not like me. If it were me, I would be able to accept it.”
After finished speaking, she looked at Alex affectionately. However, she realized Alex did not have any reaction toward her.
Well, she deliberately dressed up maturely and even put on a pair of black lace stockings. She looked exactly like the anime girl in the fantasy of many men.
“Oh, I ask of the world, what love actually is for making people vow to each other for eternity?” she said gently, with a deep meaning in her pair of eyes that looked like water in autumn.
“Hurry up and buy the watermelon!”
Alex did not listen to her words at all. All he had in mind was he had to communicate and interact properly with Dorothy. Some things between husband and wife must be explained clearly. If she really had another man, they should just get it over with and sever the relationship.
As they were walking on the road in the neighborhood, a red BMW suddenly drove toward them at a high speed.
Alex was confused, so he did not pay much attention while walking on the road. Beatrice next to him immediately pulled him over. “Be careful!”
The car brushed past Alex with a swoosh. A woman poked her head out of the car window. “Are you looking for death? Don’t you have eyes while walking on the road?”
Beatrice angrily said, “You’re driving recklessly in the neighborhood and almost hit someone, yet you’re still trying to reason it? You’re the one without your eyes while driving!”
“Damn girl, your mouth stinks so much. I’ll run you over the next time.”
As she said, the car passed by in a whoosh.
Beatrice was infuriated. “What kind of person is she? How could there be such an unreasonable and domineering woman in the neighborhood? She’s ill-mannered.”
She turned to Alex and realized that he was absent minded.
“Bro Alex, what’s wrong with you? Please don’t act like this. I was just guessing earlier, the truth may not be like that.” Beatrice comforted him. “Besides, don’t you still have a few other girlfriends? Even if you lose my sister, it’s not a big deal, right? At most, I could be your girlfriend too!”
Alex said, “No kidding, you’re still a student!”
“I’m a university student, not a high school student. Didn’t you start dating back when you’re in university?”
