When Jack didn’t answer,Wendy smiled as if she expected it.
“Forget it.I was naïve.”She stood up to pack her things.
Suddenly,Jack grabbed her wrist and said firmly,“I’ll handle your brother’s case.”
Jack gave in.But Wendy wasn’t happy as expected.She only said distantly,“Okay.Thank you.”
Jack frowned deeply.The old Wendy never said thank you.She truly had changed.
There were only two days left before the trial.After Jack sent her home last time,he never came back.
Every day,Jack said he was too busy with work.
But every day,Wendy saw Tiara’s posts online.Nine days in a row,a full grid of photos,all showing Jack’s love for Tiara.
During that time,Tiara kept sending Wendy provocative messages.
She always deleted them after two minutes,then said it was a mistake.
It looked innocent,but Wendy understood.Still,Wendy no longer felt pain.She only wanted her brother’s second trial to end quickly.
So the day before the trial,Wendy demanded that Jack come home no matter what.
Jack came back,but his heart wasn’t there.Tiara said she was scared to be alone,so Jack stayed on a video call with her.
Tiara said she had no appetite,so Jack cooked dinner and sent it to her by driver.
Tiara said she wanted to see him,so Jack came to discuss it with Wendy.
“Wen,Tia needs me.I’ll go stay with her tonight.I promise I’ll be on time for your brother’s case tomorrow.”
A strong sense of unease rose in Wendy’s heart.“Jack,I’m begging you.Just stay here for one night.After tonight,you can do whatever you want.I won’t interfere.”
Jack hesitated.This was the first time Wendy had begged him like this.
But the next second,Tiara suddenly screamed on the video call:[Jay!I slipped in the shower!Come save me!]
Jack immediately shook off Wendy’s hand.
At the door,Wendy stopped him again.She cried and begged,“Jack,if Tiara fell,I can call an ambulance for her.I’m only asking you to stay with me today.”
“Jack,don’t you want a divorce?If you don’t go,after tomorrow’s trial,I’ll cancel the divorce.”
No matter how much Wendy begged,Jack only said,“Wen,we won’t divorce.But I can’t ignore Tia either.”
“I promise you,I will be there for your brother’s case tomorrow.”Jack walked out of the villa quickly.
Wendy watched his back and cried.No matter how many times it happened,she could never keep him.
Wendy didn’t sleep all night.Early the next morning,she called Jack.He picked it up and said he would definitely arrive on time.
