Dont worry about me, Sally.
Ive just been overwhelmed with work and it stresses me out, Dulcie lied.
She couldnt tell Sally the truth.
However, Sally was not stupid.
She wouldnt be fooled by this flimsy excuse.
Tell me honestly, whats going on between you and my brother? The tension between you two is getting out of hand.
Sally was right.
The tension between the two people had reached a point where just hearing Kysons name gave Dulcie a headache.
Her eyes darkened briefly but she quickly hid the feelings in her eyes and dismissed the question.
Theres nothing wrong.
Youre overthinking it. Hes just really busy.
Sensing that her sister-in-law had no desire to discuss the issue with her, Sally dropped the subject.
For the rest of the morning, Dulcie sat in the living room, fiddling with her tablet.
Occasionally, she chatted with Sally.
At 5 pm, the door to the house opened, and Kyson walked in.
Under the glow of the setting sun, the mans features seemed softer.
In the entryway, Kyson saw the two women sitting by the large window, seemingly admiring the view outside.
Upon hearing the noise in the entryway, Dulcie looked back.
The moment she saw the man standing there gazing at her, she stood up and began walking away.
Meanwhile, Sally ran over cheerfully and took her brothers briefcase.
Looking at the man, Sally asked teasingly, Kyson, why does Dulcie run away whenever she sees you, like a mouse whos just seen a cat? Could it be that you⦠Its nothing.
Both husband and wife quickly dismissed the question, but their cold attitudes spoke volumes.
It was clear something was wrong.
Sally took advantage of the rare opportunity of having both Kyson and Dulcie present to speak up.
Can you two stop this? Cant you be a loving couple? Besides, Kyson, Grandma is coming back soon.
Kysons expression changed slightly at the mention of his grandmother.
Knowing very well that Kyson wouldnt make any attempt to tell her about his grandmother, Dulcie stepped forward and intertwined her arm with Sallys.
Sally, Could you share a bed with me tonight? Ive been having nightmares recently and I cant sleep well.
The thing was, Kysons scent filled their bedroom.
Dulcie had changed the sheets, but that didnt help much.
That was why she couldnt sleep well. Sally glanced at Kyson and asked in a playful yet serious tone, Kyson, Im about to steal your wife.
Arent you going to do anything about it? Let me tell you, if Dulcie sleeps with me tonight, it wont be easy for you to get her back.
Kysons cold and indifferent reply left Sally speechless.
Whatever.
If she feels uncomfortable sleeping in her current bed, she can sleep in any other room she likes.
The Shaw family has plenty of rooms.
She can sleep wherever she wants.
Sally could sense that her brother was about to start another argument, so she quickly interrupted him to prevent the situation from escalating.
Kyson, were not like you men with rough skin.
We girls are soft and delicate.
Ill have Dulcies things moved to my room so you will be alone.
