Chapter 109:
But I understood my current position. No matter how gentle she was, she was still his ex-girlfriend. I didn’t have the ability to live in harmony with my husband’s ex, so I said, “I don’t know you at all, so I have nothing to talk to you about.”
I was about to hang up when she quickly added, “I know I called you very suddenly today, but I feel that it’s really not good for the three of us if it goes on like this.”
I immediately replied, “What do you mean by that? What’s happening now? We’re doing fine. You’re just his ex-girlfriend, and that’s in the past. Even if you still have feelings for him, you should look for him yourself, not disturb me!”
I felt a little agitated. The mere thought of this woman made me panic. Recently, Herbert had been coming home very late every night. He was likely spending time with her again. Thinking about this, my mood began to spiral.
Caroline’s calm, sweet voice came through again.
“I know what you’re saying is true, but there are things he can’t bear to tell you. It’s not right for you to be deceived and kept in the dark. I think it’s necessary for us to sit down and talk. I’ll be at the café in front of your house at two o’clock this afternoon. I’ll be waiting for you.”
And with that, she hung up the phone.
I put the phone down in my hand, feeling frustrated and uneasy. The whole afternoon felt like it dragged on as I anxiously wondered if I should meet her or not.
I really wanted to call Herbert and ask what was going on with this Caroline woman, but every time I picked up the phone, I hung up halfway.
What was wrong with me?
I knew the relationship between Herbert and me better than anyone else. Our marriage wasn’t born out of love. I wasn’t in any position to question him as his wife.
The marriage agreement was clear. I couldn’t interfere with his private life. I was afraid that after thinking for a long time, I decided to meet her at nearly two o’clock. I knew that if I went, I would hear a lot of unpleasant things, but I still decided to go.
Because I was curious!
I was curious about what had happened between that woman and Herbert. What kind of relationship did they have now? I wanted to know what that woman wanted to do.
I remembered when I went to Herbert’s parents’ house and overheard the conversation between the two of them. McKenna had said that he hadn’t walked out of his previous relationship yet. Could it be that the person she was referring to was Caroline?
It seemed that Caroline had once occupied a very important place in Herbert’s heart. Did he still love her?
Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably panicked, frustrated, and pained.
I didn’t expect myself to be so sad. This feeling was beyond my imagination. I didn’t have time to think about it. I changed into the best clothes in my wardrobe and went out after notifying Miranda.
When I arrived at the café, I took a deep breath and walked in.
There weren’t many people drinking coffee at this time. I looked up and saw the figure of a woman sitting by the window.
When I saw the woman’s face clearly, I became even more flustered.
She was very beautiful. She had a stunning appearance.
Especially her eyes, they were incredibly captivating.
At this moment, I lost my balance and almost slipped. Thankfully, she didn’t see me at that moment, and didn’t see my embarrassed look.
