Helena pouted , looking aggrieved . " Josephine ... " " You don't get to say my name , you angelic bitch ! " " Josephine ! " Wilfred's expression darkened . " Don't go too far . Lena's family , and she's been through a lot . Don't you think we should be nice to her ? " " Cut it out , Wilfred . You just wanna build a damn harem ! " Josephine's jaw tightened . " Wilfred , this is my home . If you want this marriage to last , get her out of my sight for good . " Wilfred had been responsible and loyal . Josephine would give him a chance if he could correct his mistakes in time . To her disappointment , Wilfred snapped , " Lena's just come back , and she's got no one but me . Besides , she's only twenty - three . Where else could she go ? " Josephine spat , " A hotel , a shelter - anywhere ! Better yet , she can get married and have her own home . Oh , if she can't survive out there , she might as well drop dead ! " With that , she drove back to the R & D Center of Novo Tech without even glancing at the two . The logic and circuit diagrams for chip design needed software support . Since she had to handle some personal affairs in the following days , she handed off the task of buying the licensed software to someone else . At 4:30 p.m. , Josephine went to the kindergarten to pick up Belinda . Belinda was about to turn five years old . Though Josephine had always been there for Belinda for the past few years , Belinda had never been close to her . Chapter 2 Zice rochers The reason was simple - her parenting style was completely different from the Hayden family's Wilfred put zero limits on Belinda's phone time . His parents , Korbin Hayden and Yvonne Jordan , never said no to her . Not to mention Helena . Everyone in the family vied for Belinda's affection with indulgence . Only Josephine enforced rules . And for that , Belinda resented her . Belinda was very disappointed that it wasn't Helena who picked her up . So she stayed quiet the whole ride . And when she found Helena wasn't home , she grew even more upset . She punched Josephine hard in the leg and screamed , " Mommy , you drove Auntie Helena away , didn't you ? She doesn't even dare to raise her voice whenever you're around . Why ? Why did you come back ? I want Auntie Helena ! I want her back ! " Josephine's chest tightened painfully . Though Belinda had never been affectionate , she had never been violent before . How could she raise a hand against her own mother ? She crouched down , trying to reason with Belinda . But Belinda wouldn't listen , even sinking her teeth into Josephine's arm . Wilfred strode into the room , scooped Belinda up , and carried her to her room to soothe her . Irritated , Josephine snapped a cigarette between her lips and lit it by the window . Wilfred saw her smoking as soon as he stepped out of Belinda's room . She was like a walking corpse , her lifeless eyes devoid of any emotions . For some reason , his heart twitched hard . Josephine had never smoked before . She had excellent academic performance , and combined with her pretty looks , she had always been the center of attention . But her parents ' death devastated her . She couldn't get over it , so she started smoking to cope . 06:56 Chapter 2 288 Vouchers He got it , but that didn't mean he could handle her turning so mean . Helena was his only sister . It had just been two months since her return , and Josephine already wanted her gone ? She had become so unfeeling and heartless . Such a woman wasn't worthy of his pity at all . He looked away and stepped into the room coldly . Josphine saw the indifference on his face and smiled self - mockingly . He was always that perfect husband in others ' eyes . Only she knew how stubborn he was - he always gave her the silent treatment when angry . Even when he did respond , it was because the " Josephine's always right " rule forced him to , and he'd always seem so reluctant . The night fell .
