Marriage With A Evil Heart

When the sky was just getting light, I had finally started to feel a bit sleepy when suddenly, a furious shout disrupted my rest.

Understanding that the situation downstairs had been exposed, I sat up in bed, ready to get up. However, rationality triumphed over impulse, and I decided to wait a bit longer.

Suddenly, the noises downstairs seemed to have been suppressed and weren’t as intense as expected.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After contemplating for a moment, I lay back down, closed my eyes as if nothing had happened, and told myself to sleep peacefully.

After a short nap, I woke up at the usual time, finished my morning routine, and leisurely went downstairs.

In the living room, Robert was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.

To my surprise, Alice was in the kitchen, cooking.

“Where’s Sherry?” I casually asked, “And why are you cooking instead of her?”

“She is upstairs taking care of Charles!” She replied while busy frying eggs, then asked, “Mrs. Brown, would you like milk or coffee?”

“I’ll handle it myself,” I said nonchalantly.

I walked into the kitchen, saw a few things laid out on the counter, and couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. What a waste.

Pretending not to notice, I poured myself a glass of warm water and walked out of the kitchen.

Robert looked up at me, unusually gentle, “Why are you up so early?”

“It’s more like you’re up early. What time did you come back last night? I had no idea!” I walked over and sat beside him, questioning, “Or did you not come back at all?”

“I came back too late last night, and you were sleeping soundly. I didn’t dare to disturb you!” he casually lied. “I originally wanted to go to Whitby early this morning, but I postponed it.”

“How did the discussion go yesterday?” I asked him. “Did you spend the whole afternoon on it?”

“No, I went back to the company in the afternoon. The situation is still uncertain. The competition is fierce, and they have no moral boundaries!” He looked helpless, showing no signs of deceit.

I suddenly became curious about the agreement reached among the three of them that led to the sudden ceasefire.

During the meal, the food on the table made me question life. I casually glanced at Alice, then intentionally exclaimed, “What happened to your face?”

On Alice’s fair little face, there was a distinct handprint, making me wince. It seemed the battle had been quite intense.

Instinctively covering her face, Alice chuckled, “There were mosquitoes last night, and I was trying to shoo them away.”

“Yourself… slapped?” I deliberately showed an incredulous expression. “That’s quite a ruthless move!”

Then I glanced at Robert, who was avidly enjoying the scrambled eggs. It seemed he was genuinely hungry. No wonder, the activity last night must have been exhausting, depleting his energy.

Alice, as if speaking to herself, added, “My skin is just like this; it turns red at the slightest touch.”

“Well, you should be more careful next time. Don’t be so forceful; it looks like you’ve been beaten up,” I remarked. Just as I finished speaking, Sherry came downstairs, holding Charles. She placed him in the child’s seat and then turned to the kitchen to bring him milk and a small piece of cake.

With a brief greeting to me, she completely ignored Robert and Alice, displaying an extremely indifferent expression.

I casually asked, “What’s up, did you wake up late?”

Sherry’s eyes avoided mine, and she glanced at me. “Maybe I caught a slight cold, so I woke up late.”

I looked at Robert. “Then, later, you can take Charlie. Sherry caught a cold, and it’s better for her to rest. Alice, you can go with Mr. Brown later, help me drop him off. It’s on the way to your work as well!”

Alice immediately nodded happily. But before she could speak, Sherry quickly objected, “Mrs. Brown, it’s unnecessary. I can do the drop-off!”

I looked at Sherry, who seemed unwilling. “It’s not about whether you can or cannot. I’m concerned about you spreading the cold to him!”

“Sherry, let me handle it from now on! Don’t worry about it. I’ll just go with Mr. Brown, and we’ll conveniently drop Charlie off. What do you think, Mrs. Brown?” Alice looked at Sherry, a challenging smile on her face.
