He was very busy at work, so I was sensible and never disturbed him. Whether it was illness, a prenatal check-up, or even giving birth, I dared not trouble him.
I was afraid that if I didn't do something well, it would annoy him.
This was the only time in all these years that I had a severe fever and had no other options, so I asked him to pick up Dora.
But this time, because of Gloria, he abandoned Dora halfway, causing her death.
She was only six years old and had so much potential!
How lonely and scared she must have felt when she died!
I knelt in front of Dora's grave and cried until my last tear dried up.
Then I got up and left with a dead heart.
Not long after, I saw Spencer holding Gloria's shoulders and walking towards me.
Gloria was holding an urn in her hands, her face haggard, and Spencer looked at her with eyes full of pity and tenderness.
"Spencer, this cemetery is full of birds and flowers. Danny should like it, right?"
Danny was a poodle she Gloria kept.
Spencer had a distressed look on his face and was about to speak. But when he looked up, he saw me not far away.
When our eyes met, the pity in his eyes turned into indifference.
"Linsey, you're never going to stop, are you? First you talked about divorce, and now you're following me here. Do you have nothing better to do?"
He walked up to me, frowning with displeasure.
"Step aside."
I spoke coldly, not wanting to say another word to him.
Gloria approached and said gently, "Linsey, my beloved Danny died suddenly of illness. I was very upset, so I asked Spencer to accompany me. Please don't be angry."
Her voice was soft, but her eyes held a provocative expression of dominance, as if to say, "With me, he's always there."
"Oh, your man is so good to you," I replied expressionlessly.
Spencer frowned. "Linsey, can you be reasonable? Danny's death has already made Gloria very upset, and you're still being sarcastic?"
Seeing Spencer so eager to defend Gloria, I glanced at him.
Without another word, I simply pushed Spencer's shoulder away and walked off.
As I departed, Spencer seemed a bit dazed.
This was the first time I saw him and Gloria together without crying or making a fuss. I left calmly.
Two seconds later, Spencer caught up with me and whispered, "Isn't it just because I didn't take Dora home? Why are you so angry with me for so long? Why are you so petty?"
