Chapter 50 A Good Show
Chapter 50 A Good Show
Time passed so peacefully and quickly. A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Summer came soon. Even in the morning, people could feel the scorching temperature.
In the garden of the municipal hospital, Mary was walking her mother.
"How are you doing with William recently?"
"Well, it's still the same." Mary was calm. Since the "pregnancy" incident last time, the relationship
between the two seemed to be further alienated. For the past month, except for meeting in the
company, she could hardly see the figure of William at home.
"You," Mary's mother sighed, "You have to hold back your anger. Men don't understand women's
hearts. You have to speak it out."
"Okay, I got it." Mary smiled, "Tell him everything."
"I wonder if the fragrans in my hometown are blooming or not." Mary's mother suddenly said.
Mary's hometown was located in Z-City, which was a three or four hour drive from A-city. Although Z-
city was located in the north, it was in the basin area. Fragrans bloomed more than half a month earlier
than other places every year.
When Mary was a child, her mother always took her hand to go to see fragrans, smelled the fragrance
of them and made fragrans cakes for little Mary. All these had become very precious memories.
"It's still early," said Mary, "Summer just arrived. Although the fragrans bloomed early at home, it's not
so early exactly."
"You're right," Mary's mom sighed. "Recently, I always had the hometown in my dream. I don't know if I
can go back again."
Hearing this, Mary's eyes turned red and her nose twitched. It was impossible for her mother to go
back to her hometown by car because of her physical health now.
"When mom gets better, we can go back." Mary stunned for a while and said, "When fragrans are
blooming, mom, please make me fragrans cake again."
"Okay, okay." Mary's mom smiled gently, turned her head slightly and patted on Mary's hand. "From
now on, you must have a good time with William."
"I know, mom." Mary bit her lips.
"If Mom leaves one day, remember to take my ashes back to the hometown."
"Mom..." Mary's voice trembled a little, "You speak so much today..."
"I can't do it a few more times."
"Mom... Please stop."
"Mary," continued Mary's. "I'm sorry for making you suffer. In the past two years, looking at you running
around, sometimes I want to leave early."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Mary wiped her tears and said, "What's the point of leaving me
alone without mom?"
"Mary? Do you still hate your father?"
Mary stunned and said, "Why? Why not?"
"He is your father," Mary's mom sighed. "I don't want you to hate him."
"When you needed him the most, he chose to leave. He has always been a hero in my heart since I
was a child. But he shattered my illusion with his own hands." Mary shook her head and said, "I can't
help but hate him."
Mary was such a stubborn person. Even if he was her closest family, she couldn't let go of her hatred
for him.
"Mom," said Mary, who didn't want to continue the topic, "I'll go back to Z-city in a few days and see the
fragrans for you, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay."
It was a sunny afternoon in Summer.
It was a rare weekend for Mary. She lay in her room and played with her computer.
Unfortunately, someone interrupted such a pleasant time.
The phone rang all of a sudden. It was a strange number again.
After hesitating for a while, Mary picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Mary."
A woman's voice came from the other end of the line. It was firm and decisive.
The first thought in Mary's mind was that the real girlfriend of William came to her, but it took her so
long to call. She was really calm.
"Do you have time now? I want to meet you."
It was true. Mary pursed her lips and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, ha ha," the woman smiled. "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Nancy, Frank's wife."
Frank's wife?! 'Why did she call me?' Mary wondered? The two didn't know each other at all?
"What's up?" Asked Mary.
"I'll treat you to watch a good show. I don't know if you are interested in it." Nancy's voice seemed to be
gloating.
"Well... I... "
"I think, as the wife of William, you should be very interested in seeing it. Don't worry. I won't let you
down." Nancy said with a smile.
"But I don't even know you."
"I won't hurt you," Nancy said with a smile. "You are the wife of William and I am the wife of Frank.
Aren't they good brothers? Why are you worried?"
It seemed that Nancy stressed the two words 'good brothers'.
"I..."
"You will see William soon."
'I will see William soon?' Mary frowned and thought, 'William told me that he would attend a business
meeting in another city this weekend? Was he lying?'
"Where?" Mary couldn't help but feel curious.
"Starbucks at Century Square. I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Mary took a deep breath. She wanted to see what would happen.
'William, Frank, Nancy and Victor.
Life is getting more and more interesting, ' Mary thought after calming down.
The air conditioner in Starbucks was so low that even Mary shivered with cold as soon as she entered.
"Here!"
As soon as she entered, the woman sitting beside the small round table by the window called her. The
woman was wearing exquisite makeup, and the heavy smoke makeup almost covered her original
face.
"Nancy?" Asked Mary.
"Yes, I am." Nancy nodded, "You came so fast."
"I don't like to make others to wait for me."
"Ha ha." Nancy smiled, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"No, thanks." Mary shook her head and she came here for a clear purpose.
"Let's go then." Nancy stood up at once, grabbed her glasses on the table and said, "Please watch a
free good show."
Mary nodded and stood up.
Nancy didn't talk much and walked in front of her in high heels.
An idea flashed through Mary's mind. She remembered that she saw Frank go to the hospital with
Nancy and she bump into her accidentally in the hospital. She was so arrogant.
Now her back was still straight, but without Frank, she looked a little lonely.
"Where are we going?" Sitting in her car, Mary asked.
"My home."
Nancy stepped on the gas and the car rushed out.
'How dare you drive in such high heels? Aren't you afraid?' Mary frowned secretly.
The car went farther and farther and came to the villa group in the suburb.
"Seaside villa?" Asked Mary.
"Yeah."
Wasn't William's home in the coastal villa, and so was her and Frank's home here too?
"I've never seen you here. I guess you don't live here." Although it was a question, Nancy said it with
certainty.
"Yes, I live in the downtown."
"That's great." Nancy sneered, "I want to stay away from here. Out of sight, out of mind."
"What's bothering you?" Mary was getting more and more confused about her words.
"You will know it soon. You will be grateful to me." Nancy led her to a dark red villa and said, "Don't be
too stupid and naive."
Mary frowned and looked back at William's villa which she had only seen once.
"Here we are." Nancy pointed to the villa in front of them.
There was a large grassland in front of the three-floor villa.
When they got closer, she saw that there was only one floor in the villa with three glass walls and one
wall. The furnishings in the villa were clearly seen.
"It seems that the time is just right." Nancy said again and brought Mary to the huge glass wall in the
east.
"What do you want me to see?" Mary was a little annoyed.
"Can't you see? Your husband." Nancy pointed forward with a delicate manicure.
Following the direction she pointed, Mary saw William at once.
Standing in the kitchen with his back to them, William raised his arm and looked for something. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Why was he here?
William took two goblets and walked slowly to the sofa in the living room. He didn't notice the two
women who were peeping at him.
Frank suddenly sat up from the sofa and took the goblet.
Only then did Mary see another person on the sofa.
After William poured wine for the two people and saying something, Frank squinted his eyes and
smiled happily. William bent over and gently rubbed Frank's hair with a gentle smile on his face.
Mary really didn't know why this was a good show, and she turned her head and wanted to ask Nancy
what was 'good', but she saw an indescribable complicated expression on Nancy's face.
There seemed to be a smile on her face, but it was so desolate. It seemed that she was about to cry,
but there was a trace of unwillingness on her face.
Mary was shocked. She couldn't ask why, but when she turned around to look at the two people in the
room, she covered her mouth all of a sudden.
She knew that her expression should be one hundred times more shocked than that of Nancy!
What did she see?!
Kneeling on the sofa, Frank straightened up and slowly moved his face close to the face of William.
The side face of William was still so delicate. It seemed that just for a second, William had a smile at
the corners of his mouth. He held the back side of Frank's head with his big palm and slowly moved his
lips towards him.
'Did William kiss Frank?'
Frank curled up his lips and put his arms around the waist of William.
Mary couldn't tell how she felt in her heart. She wanted to escape from this damned place right away,
but she couldn't move at all as if there was a root under her feet. Even her eyes were painful, she still
looked at the two sweet people in the room without blinking.
The two were bathed in the afternoon sunshine.
Mary opened her mouth. She wanted to laugh but she can't and she wanted to cry but she couldn't.
It turned out that the good 'woman' and the 'woman' who couldn't be married was Frank!
