Chapter 37

“…”

Willette, who was already upset, became even more unhappy.

“Nydia, I’m so upset.” She immediately went over and grabbed Nydia’s hand, but Nydia deliberately reached for something to avoid her hand.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s, it’s Barclay, he, he bullied me.” Willette said, tears welling up in her eyes, looking very aggrieved.

Nydia immediately looked very surprised. “He bullied you? Sister, we have to call the police.”

As she spoke, she took out her phone to make a call, scaring Willette, who immediately grabbed her hand. “Nydia, what are you doing?”

“Didn’t you say he bullied you, sister?” she innocently blinked her eyes.

“Not that kind of bullying, let’s go to the bedroom and talk about it.”

“Sister, Jesse’s not home. Let’s just talk here. He already doesn’t trust me, if we go to the bedroom, he’ll use this against me again. I can’t give him any more leverage, or I won’t be able to get a divorce.” Willette looked around and saw that the servants were not present, so she thought it would be okay to talk here.

“Last time, he got drunk and you didn’t go pick him up, remember? He never came home, and I couldn’t get through to him on the phone. Later, when I asked him, he said he stayed at a friend’s house for one night.”

“Did you check with his friend?”

“I did, and his friend said the same thing, but that’s his friend. Of course he would defend him. My intuition tells me that something was not right that night.”

“Sister, could it be that you’re overthinking it?”

“No, he’s been cold to me lately. Do you think he might cancel the engagement?” When Willette asked this question, she was really worried.

“Sister, he’s cold to you because of what happened before, and because you don’t trust him. If he’s good to you, you should be more suspicious, maybe he’s done something wrong.”

“Is that so?” It seemed to make some sense.

Nydia nodded.

“It must be like that. You two have such a good relationship, and you’re not promiscuous. How could anything happen?”

Willette felt embarrassed, as if Nydia was mocking her if she didn’t know her well.

As they were talking, two heads popped up, it was Molly and Tavish.

“What are you two doing? Come here, Aunt Willette is here.”

Molly and Tavish looked at each other and slowly walked towards Nydia.

“Hello, Aunt Willette.” The two children shouted in unison.

“Hello, it feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, you’ve grown taller.” Willette took a look around and complimented them.

Molly circled Willette and muttered something under her breath, which was inaudible.

“What are you looking for?” Nydia asked.

“Aunt Willette, didn’t the teacher say that when you visit someone, you should bring a gift? Otherwise it’s impolite.” Molly looked puzzled and asked Tavish.

“Shh, Molly, you can’t say that to Aunt Willette, she’ll be upset.” Tavish pulled Molly to his side, then turned to Willette and said, “Aunt Willette, it’s okay, you have a good relationship with Mommy, and we don’t need gifts, and besides, our family isn’t lacking anything.”

“…” Why did these two children speak in such a strange manner?

Tavish went to the refrigerator, opened it, turned around and asked, “Aunt Willette, do you drink green tea?”
