It suddenly came to Gilda that Jensen did have a weeklong business trip on his schedule three months ago.
She clutched her phone so hard at the thought of this.
âDid he cheat on me?â she thought.
After all, as Jensenâs secret wife and secretary, she had never heard anyone talking about him having an affair with another woman before.
âMr. Harrington is so nice to his girlfriend. One must be very lucky to be his girlfriend. It seems that theyâre going to make their relationship public soon!â said nurse.
âIâve googled it. Is she Mr. Harringtonâs girlfriend?â
The young nurse who was pushing the instrument trolley took her colleagueâs phone and said in surprise after a glance at it, âYes, itâs her! Madeleine Donovan! Her father owns Donovan Real Estate, right? She Jensen are a good match in terms of their looks and family backgrounds. Theyâre perfect for each other!â
They remarked as they walked away.
âDonovan Real Estate⦠Gilda seemed to have thought of something.
After going through the discharge procedures and getting into the car sent by Rick Evans, the butler of the Harrington family, Gilda was still troubled by what she saw just now,
She rolled the window down half, the light from her phone shining on her pale face. She googled it on her phone for a long time but couldnât find any connection between the Donovan family and the Harrington family.
This was so weird for the two big families in Allath.
After going back to the Harrington residence, she found that the light in the living room was still on.
Sherry, who had always been mean to her, was not there, and only Marilyn was waiting for her leaning on. a walking stick. âThank goodness youâre okay, Gilly! I almost had a heart attack when I heard about your accident!â
âIâm fine, Grandma.â Gilda forced a smile and made up an excuse to go upstairs for a rest. âIâm a little tired.â
âSure, just go and rest. Iâve already called Jensen and heâll be back soon!â
Gilda paused for a moment and felt the pain again, looking very embarrassed.
It turned out that Jensen was avoiding her.
Marilyn thought Gilda looked so haggard because she didnât have Jensen by her side.

Chapter 2
What she didnât know was that Gilda felt bad about the woman Jensen was holding in his arms.
This made her feel that everything she had done for her marriage turned out to be nothing.
It was already late the next night when Jensen returned to the Harrington residence.
It was dark in the bedroom so he turned on the light. He looked a little displeased in the dim light. âAre you still awake? Why didnât you turn on the light?â
Gilda had been lying in bed for a whole day. She barely ate or drank anything. Rick put the food on the nightstand and it was already cold.
âWhere have you been these days?â She turned her bony back to him, speaking in a hoarse and exhausted
voice.
Jensen had just taken off his suit jacket, and he froze when he heard her question. The next second, he glared at her.
After three years of marriage, it was the first time he had heard her ask about whereabouts in such a
tone.
âI went to the Lambeck branch to deal with something.â
As he spoke in an indifferent tone, he tugged at his tie irritably and went directly to the bathroom.
âReally?â Gilda sneered and said in a weak voice. Tve asked Lanny and he had never booked the plane. ticket to Lambeck for you.â
Jensen realized that she was being sarcastic.
âWhat are you trying to say?â
suddenly stopped at the door of the bathroom.
Although Gilda didnât see his eyes, she could feel his domineering vibe.
She knew that Jensen was going to lose his temper.
