"Yesterday... It just happened that Nicole was in a bad mood, so she asked me to walk with her. Before we knew it, we ended up at the shopping mall. Believe me. I didn't leave you on purpose to go shopping with her!"
I said, "You didn't have enough shopping in the afternoon, so you even went to bed with her at night?"
Xavier's face turned cold, and he frowned.
He said, "Grace, can you please stop being so unreasonable? Nicole twisted her ankle while shopping at the mall last night, so I sent her home. By the time I bought her some medicine and applied it, it was already very late. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to be alone at night, so I stayed to take care of her!"
Looking at Xavier's righteous look, I sneered in my heart.
Nicole sprained her foot, so he stayed and took care of her all night.
I was hit by such a huge crystal chandelier and had dozens of stitches on my back, but until now, he hadn't asked me about that!
Whenever I needed him, he would find all kinds of excuses to shirk his responsibilities.
And as long as Nicole gave him a phone call or a message, he would be there with her.
I didn't know what the point of having him as my husband was after three years of marriage!
Perhaps sensing my anger, Xavier calmed down, took out a jewelry box from his pocket and placed it on the bedside table.
"Here. See if you like it."
Looking at the familiar jewelry box, I suddenly remembered something. I opened it casually and was stunned.
This was the pearl necklace he bought for Nicole when they were shopping together today.
Last night, I saw her showing off this necklace on her Ins.
[He always tries his best to please me, even if I don't like it. He is just an unhandy man who only loves me.]
The accompanying picture was this identical necklace. It turned out that it was something she didn't want anymore, so he gave it to me.
I sneered and picked up the lace underwear that I threw into the trash can last night.
I wrapped up the necklace and handed it to Xavier.
I said, "Please return these two things to her. I don't like things that have been used by others."
Xavier froze instantly. He gritted his teeth, picked up the two things and rushed out of the house.
I struggled to get up, washed up, and went to the company.
My leader, Owen Brown, was shocked to see that I had a bandage on my head and bruises on my face.
"Grace, what happened? Are you okay?"
