Chapter 70 Knife
The door of my house was pried open and the house was turned upside down. When the door was wide open, I thought there was a burglar at home.
In a panic, I was about to take out my phone to call the police, but inadvertently, I saw a few old ties and a yellowed white shirt next to the doormat. These clothes were all Dean ‘s.
I then looked around the room and discovered that the laptop computer that was originally placed on the coffee table was not lost, but was broken into two pieces; the valuable Ruyi ornaments were not lost, but were broken into pieces on the ground; my favorite Danish audio system was not taken away, but its four corners were broken.
No valuables in the house were lost, but everything was destroyed.
I think our house was not attacked by thieves, but by enemies.
I walked into the bedroom in two steps and looked through the things in the drawer.
I discovered that the famous watch I bought for Dean when we got married was missing, his passport was missing, all the ties that were piled in a box were taken away, and my jewelry box was gone too.
The framed wedding photo I had placed in the corner was completely kicked to pieces, and my favorite succulents placed in the window were all smashed to the ground.
I turned around and went to Pamela ‘s room. Similarly, some of her small belongings were gone. Except for the luggage I threw out of the house before, this time, there was nothing left.
The moment I accepted the reality, I leaned weakly on the door frame of the bedroom, looking at the mess on the floor, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Actually, this is quite good. I don’t have to sort it out a second time. They pack the luggage on their own, although their methods are extremely cruel.
I moved my feet in a daze, and the glass fragments under my feet made a crunching sound. I looked down and saw a letter on the ground.
I picked it up and saw the old stamp still on the letter.
I remember very clearly this letter that Jacqueline wrote to me and Dean three years ago .
In order to thank me and Dean for supporting her, she would write us a letter every Spring Festival to thank us. I opened the envelope again, but when I read the content of the letter again, I felt completely different.
I read every paragraph carefully and suddenly realized that the letter Jacqueline wrote was only for Dean . The cheesy thoughts and implicit hints in the words had already exposed her feelings for Dean .
But I was such a fool that I didn’t notice it at all.
Three years ago… How old was Jacqueline three years ago ? Sixteen? Haha, Dean was really ruthless!
I took a deep breath, tore the envelope in my hand, and walked to the living room. I didn’t know where to start packing, and at this moment, Dean called me.
I suppressed the anger in my chest and pressed the answer button. On the other end, I heard his nonchalant voice, “Are you home now? I just went back, but the door couldn’t be opened, so I had to pick the lock. I took all my and my mother’s things away. The house may be a mess now, you can clean it up yourself!”
I really can’t understand how Dean , who has messed up his family, could have the courage to say these words.
I smiled and asked, “Don’t you feel guilty for treating me like this?”
He was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and said calmly: “I never felt guilty. Maybe you think I was cruel to you, but you forced me to do all this. Candice , from the beginning to now, I never thought that we would become like this, let alone divorce you! What happened between Jacqueline and I is at most just an episode in our marriage!”
He sighed and continued, “Don’t you think you are too harsh on me? Let me ask you, have you ever seen a man who doesn’t cheat on his wife or have affairs with other women ? Besides, even if I had feelings for Jacqueline , I never thought of divorcing you! But you pushed me again and again, and even went to your dad to lobby him not to help me change jobs. Candice , we could have lived a good life, but you were too much of a troublemaker. It was you who brought our relationship to this point!”
After hearing these words, my worldview was almost overturned. I screamed at the top of my lungs: “Bullshit! You cheated and you think you’re right? Dean , do you think you’re the emperor? All the women in the world have to revolve around you? Which man doesn’t cheat? Do I have to swallow my anger and be the stupid woman behind you with a big head of prairie? Get out of here! Go live a good life with your bitch Jacqueline !”
Dean , who was so shameless , suddenly said, ” Candice , I’ll give you one last choice. If you are willing to erase the matter of Jacqueline , we can start over. I will continue to treat you well as before, and my mother will not care about the past anymore.”
I sneered, “Don’t! Please don’t have any extravagant expectations of me. I am too humble to serve a great master like you! You should just fly together with Jacqueline ! Isn’t she pregnant now? You two should live a good life. I sincerely wish you that the child in Jacqueline’s belly will be your own.”
” Candice ! Don’t forget that you are still carrying my child!”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I smiled, “Where do you get such confidence that you insist that the child I’m pregnant with is yours? What if I’m pregnant with someone else’s? Besides, even if I’m pregnant with your child, I will get rid of it without saying a word! Because someone like you is not worthy of being a father! I would rather not have him come into this world, and I would never let him have a family like you!”
After saying that, I hung up the phone angrily.
At this moment, my heart was beating very fast, probably because I was too angry just now, so I couldn’t calm down.
The moment the room became quiet, my mind was in a turmoil. I lowered my head and began to pick up the broken things on the ground, then moved towards the door little by little.
However, the moment I opened the door, the homeless man at the corner of the upper stairs was staring at me.
It seemed that he had woken up. He was standing there holding the stair handle, holding the snack that I had just placed next to him in his left hand. His expression was a little strange, and his body movements were also a little strange.
like he was about to rush downstairs, but when I opened the door, he suddenly stopped.
I deliberately cleared my throat to break the awkwardness, “I’m sorry… did I wake you up?” I pointed at the food in his hand, “I put that next to you. I thought you had nowhere to go, so you came to this building…”
The homeless man in front of me stared at me for a long time. He didn’t say anything and his expression was very solemn, as if he had something to hide.
With the dim light in the corridor, I gradually saw his outline. He was indeed a young man of about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with a look between immature and mature. He was tall and thin, but… a little too thin.
His skin was slightly wheat-colored, his hair was messy with bits of wall dust in it, his clothes were very worn, and I could vaguely see a small spider tattoo on his neck.
He should be… a young man in society…
Seeing this, I suddenly felt a little panicked. Maybe he… wasn’t a homeless person…
Subconsciously, I stretched out my hand to grab the door handle, but at this moment, my eyes were suddenly dazzled by something shiny. I looked along the light, and unexpectedly, I saw a handful in his cuffs. sharp knife…
