Chapter 2 I took a bath in the bathtub , wanting to wash away these dirty things from my mind . I didnt know how long had passed until the water in the bathtub had turned cold , and then I got up . After changing clothes and walking out of the bathroom , I saw Bruce on the sofa . As soon as he saw me , a flicker of panic crossed his face . Julissa ? Didnt you go out ? . When did you come back ? Didnt hear anything , right ? Why didnt you tell me in advance when you were coming back , so that I could pick you up ? My gaze fell upon Athena , who was cleaning on the side , and I chuckled softly . I went shopping with my mom , and the driver brought me back . So I didnt ask you to pick me up . I just arrived home and went to the bathroom to wash my face . Why are you asking like this ? Did something happen at home ? Seeing that I remained calm , Bruce breathed a sigh of relief and led me to sit down by the sofa . You should let me know when you go out in the future , otherwise I will worry . Are you hungry ? What do you want to eat ? I will ask the nanny to make it . We were getting engaged in a week , Julissa . I finally waited for this day . Bruces face was full of sincerity , as if he truly loved me to the core . He pulled me into his arms and his right hand kept rubbing my shoulder . I quietly glanced at Athena and happened to catch a fleeting shadow in her eyes . Athena is the daughter of our old housekeeper , and she has been living with her mother in the old house since she was young . Later , Bruce and I lived together , and she volunteered to come along and take care of me . At ten oclock in the evening , Bruce brought me a glass of milk as usual . Julissa , take the medicine first , and then drink the milk . Today , I accompanied my mom to go shopping and got tired . I drank some milk and slept better . 1/5 Η Dont worry , I would always be with you . Since I was burned , I have been taking medication . Now its completely healed , and actually , the medicine doesnt need to be taken anymore . But I didnt want to tell him that I had already recovered , so while he wasnt paying attention , I secretly stuffed the medicine under the mattress . Maybe it was indeed because I was tired from shopping , or perhaps it was because what happened today had such a big impact on me . I didnt lie in bed for long before I fell asleep . I was awakened by a gentle voice speaking . Didnt you just do it in the afternoon ? Why are you thinking about it again ? Be quieter , dont wake her up . Oh , Bruce , be careful , dont touch there . Bruces voice was urgent , completely different from the soft whisper when he spoke to me . Its not the first time , and you know that I would give her medicine , she wouldnt wake up . I had been holding it in for three months , those two times in the afternoon were not enough . Its all because you , little devil , were too seductive . Stop talking nonsense and hurry up . I leaned to the side , quietly feeling the vibration coming from behind me , tears silently slid down my cheeks . Bruce , how could you treat me like this ? The next days breakfast was made by Bruce . When he saw me wake up , he carefully handed me the peeled eggs . The nanny had her birthday today , so we gave her a day off . I made breakfast , and I made seafood porridge , which is your favorite . Try it and see if it suits you taste . Why are your dark circles so heavy ? Did you not sleep well last night ? I glanced at the man in front of me . 2/5 1 Do you also know Athenas birthday ? Bruce was taken aback , and his face showed a hint of embarrassment . She said it when she took the day off this morning . Moreover , even though she was a nanny , she grew up with you since childhood , and you were almost like sisters . Alright , lets not mention her anymore . Today , I didnt go to the office , I stayed at home to spend quality time with you . At six oclock in the evening , I was watering the flowers in the yard when I saw Bruce holding his coat and getting ready to go out . Julissa , the company called unexpectedly . I had to go to the office to take care of some matters , so I couldnt accompany you . You dont have to wait for me tonight either , I might have to work overtime at the office . I nodded and watched him hurriedly leave through the door . I had already anticipated that he would go out today . After all , today was Athenas birthday , how could Bruce not go to accompany her ? Not to mention that the Patton Group has always been under the leadership of his brother Karson , and Bruce hardly ever deals with company matters , how could he suddenly start working overtime . With this in mind , I put down the watering can in my hand and quietly followed him out of the door . Bruce didnt go to the underground garage , but instead walked straight into a villa diagonally opposite . My heart sank . The house that Bruce and I are currently living in was arranged by him initially . But now it seems that he not only bought one set at first , but also bought two sets at the same time , and arranged Athena right across from our wedding room . After watching Bruce go in , I quietly approached the villa . Through the gaps in the gate fence , I saw many people in the courtyard , it seemed like they were having an outdoor party . The sound of a man heckling reached my ears . Bruce came late , lets drink . Sister in law had her birthday today , how could you come so late ? Come , come , have a drink , I will never let you off easily . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
