Chapter 16: The Loyal Young Husband

It was dark and no one was at home when I got home in the evening. I turned on the lights and sat on the sofa making a phone call to Elias.

He had said he would cook me a big dinner tonight, but he didn't keep his word.

It took a long time for the call to get through, and the sound on the other end was a bit chaotic, but I could still hear the children's laughter.

He went to the orphanage again.

"Honey, didn't you say you were going to cook me a big dinner tonight? Why are you gone?"

"Because I thought you would spend the evening catching up with your ex-boyfriend." He made a countercharge against me.

I was speechless.

So, his generosity this morning was all an act? He actually minded it?

I didn't know why but I was actually happy instead of angry, "What kind of ex-boyfriend is that? It was long ago. Besides, he has cheated on me. I don't want a cheating toad."
