Chapter 2026 Caught In The Act
At once, Sheilaâs heart clenched tightly, and some indecent scenes even popped up in her mind.
What exactly do you want, Dad? Youâve been with Mom for many years now, and both of you have always treated each other with respect. Youâre already advanced in years now, so please donât have an affair and tarnish your reputation in your old age! Oh well, youâre digging your own grave!
âDavin, I think the chances are high that my father is really having a tryst.â
Davin, who was driving, cast her a glance. âDonât let your imagination run wild first. Also, donât panic. Perhaps⦠perhaps this is all a misunderstanding.â
Heaving a long sigh, Sheila regarded him gravely and stated sternly, âListen here, Davin. Even if this matter is true, and we witness my father dallying with another woman later, you canât leak it out! Do you understand me?â
He nodded in acquiescence. âYeah, I do. If this matter gets out, his reputation will be dragged through the mud, and your mother will definitely divorce him. It wonât benefit us in any way either if things blow up. I know what to do, Sheila. Itâs just that Iâm a tad worried.â
âWhat are you worried about?â
âAbout you. No matter how livid or apoplectic you are later, you must rein in your emotions. You canât implode right then and there. Otherwise, itâll be bad if the media catches wind of things.â
âI know itâs a winery there, so I wonât kick up a fuss. Even if I want to tear into my father, Iâll do it someplace else. Donât worry.â
Davin didnât comment on that, but he was still anxious at the sight of her tightly clenched fists and emotional state.
Well, if we really see anything indecent later, sheâll never be able to hold herself back with her fiery temperament. How ironic that a daughter and a son-in-law are going over to catch the father in the act?
At long last, the car arrived at Jazz Winery.
After alighting from the vehicle, Sheila went around the winery lobby and dashed toward the room.
Following behind her, Davin reminded softly, âCalm down, Sheep. Youâve got to take it easy.â
Sheila responded with a look and nodded in acknowledgment. Yet, she increased her speed once more to a trot.
Forced to speed up as well, Davin mentally lamented, âGosh, this speed to catch someone in the act is comparable to when one hastens to receive an award!â
While the speed was commensurable, one was a tragic event whereas the other was a joyous event.
When they finally reached the room, Sheila exhaled heavily before throwing Davin a look. âPound on the door!â
He pounded on the door. I wonder what Patrickâs reaction will be when he sees us both if heâs really in here. His expression will certainly be as intriguing as the latest television series!
A heartbeat later, the room door swung open, and a woman in a nightgown eyed them with a puzzled look in her eyes. âWho are you two looking for?â
âYou!â Sheila answered forcefully.
Bewilderment was written all over the womanâs face. âI donât know either of you.â
As Sheila pinned her eyes on the womanâs sexy nightgown, an inexplicable wave of anger surged within her. Not in the mood to yak with her, she pushed the woman away and stormed into the room.
âWhat are you two doing? Who are you?â the woman shouted as she hurried into the room as well.
Ignoring her, Sheila searched the entire room, but she saw no signs of her father.
Hmm? Could it be that I got the wrong room? Or did we arrive too late, and he has left?
âThis is my room, so please leave!â the woman ordered furiously, crossing her arms.
Should I just leave or ask her a few questions? While Sheila was ruminating about it, the sound of running water drifted over from the bathroom, abruptly snagging the attention of all three of them.
âHeâs in the bathroom!â
Sheila started toward the bathroom, but she screeched to a stop after taking two steps. If heâs taking a shower inside, itâll be inappropriate for me to barge in.
âYou go!â she instructed Davin.
He hesitated for a second before he nodded. As he walked toward the bathroom, he wondered about his father-in-lawâs expression upon seeing him. I wonder if heâll shoot me a deathly glare.
