With a shaky step, I walked toward Shirley's room, which was only one hallway away from mine.
Steven had tried to persuade me to change my mind, but this feeling of annoyance in my heart made me uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the hallway where Shirley's room was located was not too crowded, making it easier for me to walk down the long corridor along this hallway.
When I got to Shirley's room, I realized that the door wasn't closed properly, and the small gap between the doors allowed me to see a little of what was going on in the room.
At first, I intended to knock on the door and walk in. However, I saw something that shocked me.
Melvin was making out with Shirley on the hospital bed. The two of them were openly and shamelessly sharing their love there.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sight. How could they betray me like this?
"Honey, be gentle, you don't want to hurt our child, do you? "Shirley said coquettishly to Melvin, gripping his hair and enjoying the pleasure she felt.
"I can't hold myself when I'm with you, Shirley." Melvin leaned down to kiss Shirley's neck while hissing softly.
"You still remember your promise to give half of your company shares to our child, right? "Shirley glanced at Melvin, making sure he heard her words.
"Whatever you want, Shirley." Melvin closed Shirley's lips by kissing her.
My eyes bulged when I heard their voices while they were making love. I didn't expect Shirley to be pregnant with Melvin's child at this time.
Even though he had been married to me for five years, Melvin had never once touched me. The reason was because I was often sick, so Melvin didn't want to hurt me.
But it turned out that it was all fake, that all Melvin wanted all this time was Shirley, not me. My knees were really weak at the moment, and I fell down in front of Shirley's bedroom door.
My movement made a sound, and Melvin realized the sound I had made.
"Who is it?!" Melvin, who seemed surprised after hearing the sound, immediately panicked.
Realizing that I could have been caught here, without thinking, I immediately dragged my feet to leave the hallway where Shirley's room was.
I returned to my own room after that. My knees felt weak and I fell to my knees when I got to my own room.
Tears slowly flowed down my cheeks. I closed my mouth so that no one would hear my tears.
I had been married to Melvin for five years, and I thought we were living this marriage with love and affection.
Even though Melvin did seem cold towards me, he was the only person who understood me.
I had liked Melvin for a long time, considering our family was very close, but I never knew that Melvin had been in love with Shirley all this time.
"No! It's impossible! How could they betray me!" I roared angrily, pulling my hair out in frustration.
"So this is why he never touched me all this time." My voice slowly faded as I realized Melvin's behavior towards me all this time.
My mind was really shaken at the moment; I never thought I would be betrayed by the two people I trusted the most all this time.
. .
I was sleeping in my bed while playing with my cell phone when Melvin rushed into my room.
Melvin was in such a hurry that he broke the door to my room. At a glance, I could see the lines of panic on his face.
I secretly smirked. I would make sure to repay what they had done to me all this time.
Not only stabbing me in the back, they even thought of taking my life in the previous fire.
"Eleanore?" Melvin's voice calling me sounded hesitant and awkward for a moment.
"What's wrong? Are you satisfied with entertaining Shirley?" I only glanced at him, then got busy with my cell phone.
Realizing something was wrong with my behavior, Melvin walked closer to me and finally sat down next to my bed.
"Don't frown like that, I'm sorry I left you before. This time I will accompany you," said Melvin as he held my hand.
I looked up to look at him, "Do you promise you will accompany me tonight?" I looked him straight in the eye.
For a moment, I could see Melvin's eyes trembling, hesitating to answer my question. But the hesitation quickly disappeared, replaced by a bright, calming smile.
"Of course, you are the wife I love the most," he replied, then pulled me in for a tight hug.
My gaze turned cynical when I heard Melvin's remark. I wanted to see how long they intended to keep deceiving me like this.
