Marriage With A Evil Heart

I felt nauseous, fully aware of what Robert was referring to. Sherry had brought this humiliation upon herself.

“You should thank her for giving you the opportunity to please me with your mouth. Otherwise, do you think you’d have a chance to get close to me?” Robert’s words were shameless.

“You even involve the child…” Sherry tried to speak, but Robert interrupted her, “Stop bargaining with me. You have nothing to threaten me with!”

The child? What did she want to do? Blackmail Robert with the child? What was her plan?

I started to feel nervous, unconsciously clenching my fists, my palms sweating.

Did Robert’s earlier mention of “putting things away” refer to that concoction? If it was, wasn’t he afraid that Sherry might poison him at any moment?

Regardless, it seemed that Sherry still had that “thing” in her possession.

I stood there in a daze, momentarily forgetting that I was eavesdropping.

After a while of silence downstairs, I suddenly heard Robert say, “Get up. Since your mouth has been idle for several days, it’s time for you to put in some effort. Come over…”

Then there was a rustling sound, followed by Robert’s loud and indescribable moans. Feeling disgusted, I gritted my teeth and silently cursed before quickly retreating to my room.

I had never imagined that my once pure and sacred home would become so dirty.

It seemed that I could no longer let them ignore my presence.

The next day, Charles was in much better condition, not as lethargic as the day before.

Sherry had a new gold necklace around her neck, apparently a recent acquisition. It seemed that she had not exerted herself in vain last night.

I disdainfully glanced at her, calmly eating my meal. At this moment, the food in my mouth tasted anything but appetizing – it was truly nauseating. However, I had to maintain my strength and recover quickly.

Robert strolled downstairs, sat next to me, and casually played with my hair, saying, “You look good today.”

“Yeah, not taking the medicine actually makes me feel better!” I deliberately replied, scrutinizing his expression.

Though I didn’t know why he had stopped my medication, I had to act convincingly. My recovery needed to progress gradually. Moreover, I wanted to create some pressure for them. Their shameless affair under my nose was disgusting, and I couldn’t let them be too comfortable.

Robert, acting nonchalant, indulgently said, “As long as you feel better. Let’s not drink it then. It’s been hard on you, drinking it for so long!”

“One day, I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. Something doesn’t feel right; I always feel weak. Drinking this medicine for so long might have damaged my internal organs.” I muttered to myself, “And there’s this constant stabbing pain in my head. There must be something wrong.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I noticed a slight pause in Sherry’s serving motion.

“I’ll accompany you when I have time. Don’t worry; we’ll find a good doctor after I finish signing Whitby’s contract,” Robert said, still composed, while picking a slice of ham for me. “Alright?”

“Okay!” I achieved my goal and decided not to push him too hard. I didn’t continue the topic, just leisurely continued eating.

I kept my eyes on Sherry, thinking that I needed to teach her a lesson. Now that my target was set, remaining indifferent would only keep me in a passive position, and I couldn’t afford to be weak.

After a hurried breakfast, Robert left for the company. I stayed in the living room, playing with Charles.

Sherry was unusually talkative today, engaging in conversation with me and repeatedly apologizing. She claimed it was her negligence that had caused Charles to fall ill.

I intentionally asked, “Is the housework too heavy for you, making you exhausted? If you find it tiring, I can hire someone else to help you and share the workload.”

As expected, this statement had a significant effect. She quickly waved her hand, “No, no, Mrs. Brown! I can handle it. No need to hire anyone else. Having an additional person means additional wages, and it’s a waste. I can manage! I’ll pay more attention next time.”

Of course, she didn’t want me to hire someone else. To her, my actions were a threat to her or even both of them. However, I had no intention of letting her off so soon.
