After dinner, Edward entered his bedroom feeling restless and knowing the gossip told by his sister. Many questions popped up in Edward's mind, and he still couldn't find the answers.
Ella disappeared? That's what he kept thinking. What does the word disappear mean?
Have Ella and Alfred separated? Did Alfred just throw his wife away? Or Ella, who just left him?
Abigail had just arrived and entered her room confidently, in contrast to Edward's demeanor. Abigail certainly enjoyed hearing what Clarisa had to say. She saw her husband still had his back to her.
"Hmm... tonight's dinner is a little different, right?" Abigail said deliberately.
She also embraced her husband from behind. Edward had not turned around. His eyes glanced slightly behind him.
"Edward? You don't have to be so restless. It's time for you to stop rejecting me. Aren't we husband and wife?"
