Sure enough, he didn't go to the office but picked up Jessica first.

Then they drove towards Seaville.

Two hours later, they stopped in the parking lot of a five-star hotel near Disneyland.

While they were flirting in the car yesterday, Jessica mentioned wanting to watch the Disney fireworks.

William really jumps at her every wish, for Christ's sake.

At dinner, I got a text from William.

Babe, I've been sent on another business trip. Won't be back tonight.

Predictable.

I replied, "OK."

That night, I watched a live stream of Disney’s fireworks on TikTok.

I quickly spotted William and Jessica in the crowd.

I called him on the phone.

At the same time, the guy in the video pulled out his phone and hushed the girl in his arms.

William’s voice came through, "Babe, you’re still up?"

"I can’t sleep..." My voice trembled a bit.

William gently comforted me, "Don’t overthink it. I’ll be back tomorrow—"

At that moment, fireworks lit up above the Disney Castle in the video, accompanied by loud bursts.

"Where are you? What’s with the noise?"

William answered smoothly, "Still at the site. Work’s going on here."

I muttered "hmm" and hung up.

In the video, William sighed in relief, then pulled Jessica back into his arms, kissing passionately under the fireworks.

William didn't get back to the office until noon the next day.

I took a cab there.

Since I rarely appear publicly, his employees didn’t recognize me.

The receptionist asked me to wait in the office area.

I spotted Jessica right away, handing out small Disney souvenirs to her colleagues.

I heard them call her "Mrs. Brown."

So, their relationship was an open secret; I was the only one in the dark.

Jessica noticed me and, after a brief surprise, walked over calmly.

"Jane, long time no see."

I asked evenly, "When did you come back?"

"Half a year ago," Jessica's eyes sparkled with provocation, "William hired me as his assistant."

So they hooked up half a year ago...

Around the same time, I quit my job to conceive a child, took bitter medicine to regulate my body, and took care of William diligently.

No wonder when I wanted to bring him soup before, he always declined with various excuses.

I thought he was being considerate, not wanting me to overwork.

Little did I know he had a pretty girl at his office and was afraid I'd find out.

Probably after receiving a call from the front desk, William rushed over, knocking over several folders in his haste.
