"Very beautiful!" Du Lin praised sincerely.
Nadia stood in front of the mirror with a rosy face. Her face in the mirror was rosy. She didn't know whether it was due to the brilliance of the ruby necklace or because of other reasons.
There may be more other reasons. She remembered that Du Lin was standing behind her just now to put on the necklace for her. She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to run away, but Du Lin held her waist firmly, which made her a little embarrassed. , and at the same time, something inexplicable is growing and spreading quietly. She could feel the hot air on the back of her neck as Du Lin breathed. As he helped her put on the necklace, the contact between the skin made her heart beat faster and her mouth went dry.
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets and even rings, suddenly an illusion appeared in front of her eyes. The man who lowered his head and put on the ring for himself exuded endless charm. She held back, lowered her head and forced herself to calm down, but he lifted her chin again and praised her.
His eyes met Du Lin's in the mirror, and he immediately avoided it subconsciously. He responded softly, feeling a little panicked and trembling.
She knew what it felt like, but she didn't want to face it and wanted to avoid it.
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door, letting her breathe a sigh of relief. When Du Lin went out, she looked at herself in the mirror seriously. Although she was already in her thirties, she could not see that the years had left her mark. How many traces. She has been in a high position over the years and has enough wealth to maintain her body, making her look only about thirty years old, maybe even a little younger. She won't admit that her temperament is unique, but she also understands what she exudes, and even some of her colleagues sometimes look at her secretly.
She sneered at those people, they were just ignorant little guys, but facing Du Lin's calm but very deep gaze, it seemed that all her sight could be swallowed up by his eyes, and she couldn't extricate herself after looking at them for a long time. She sighed, and she could only blame herself for being born too early, while Du Lin was born too late, and she wanted to write a poem...but she didn't.
After a while, Du Lin came back from outside. She put back her scattered thoughts and regained her composure to look at Du Lin. Du Lin's expression was a little heavy, which made her heart skip a beat. Her long and slender fingers secretly clenched into fists. Then slowly let go, "What's wrong?"
"Let's sit down and talk." Dulin walked to the bar and poured two glasses of wine, giving one to Nadiya, "You might want to take a sip first."
This sentence made Nadia realize that the problem was with her. She took a sip of wine as Du Lin asked, and then looked at Du Lin uneasily.
"I don't know how to say it, because it's cruel." In fact, this sentence is the opening statement. It provides enough foreshadowing for Nadiya to be mentally prepared. It also gives her some guesses, which are close to the guesses she is thinking about. " People from the Imperial Capital called me just now to tell me that Melissa asked them for help... "
Before she finished speaking, one of Nadia's hands grabbed Dulin's wrist, with a frightened and sad expression on her face, and she whispered one word, "No!"
Du Lin patted the back of her hand, "Listen to me, my people have passed. Melissa is fine. She is fine except for some redness and swelling on her face. They told me a piece of news. I'm not sure what to say. Should I tell you now or wait until you go back? This is your business, about your family. You have the right to make your own choice. If you want to know now, I will tell you. If you want to go back, I will arrange everything for you tomorrow.”
Nadiya raised the glass and drank a large amount of about two ounces of wine in several gulps. She took a deep breath in her chest, looked at Dulin and said, "Tell me, I want to know now!"
"These things may not be so friendly, about your husband. Not long after we left the capital, he started gathering with some owners in the Oak Bay villa area, playing cards..." Nadia interrupted when Dulin said this. What he said.
"He swore he would never gamble again, he lied to me!", she hated that iron cannot become steel. She could forgive Walter's past mistakes. Everyone has the right to make mistakes, but he should not deceive himself. She shouldn't break her oath. She asked very uncomfortably, "How much does he owe this time?"
Du Lin shook his head, "No, he didn't lose, he won money, but... what happens next may hurt you even more, so you have to be mentally prepared." After Nadia nodded, Du Lin continued. , "He may have fallen in love with a woman who played cards with him and brought this woman back to the villa. Melissa came home after the holiday today and wanted to surprise Walter, but saw...", Du Lin Shrugging, "You know, then they got into an argument and Walt slapped Melissa in the process."
"Now she is at her classmate's house. She didn't know how to contact you, so she called my company. After investigating the situation, they summarized all the information to me."
Nadia put the wine glass on the table silently, she lowered her head, tears fell on her legs, and her shoulders began to tremble.
More than ten years of marriage could not withstand the corrosion of time. In fact, she may not hate Walter that much. She felt that she was also at fault. Because of her work, she could not be at home often and spent most of her time running around outside, neglecting the two. feelings between the persons. Sometimes we don’t see each other once for ten days and a half, sometimes we don’t even go home for a month or two, and most of the time communication is done over the phone. This can't all be blamed on Walter, she did have problems, but this time it hurt her the most.
The hatred caused by betrayal is definitely not comparable to other injuries. More importantly, this incident not only hurt her, but also hurt Melissa. After the sadness, there was pain and anger, because that bastard actually beat himself because of a woman. This is something only a bastard can do, and he did it.
Du Lin patted her shoulder and stood up, "I think you need to stay alone for a while. I will ask people to stay away from here. If necessary, you can always ask people to come to me!"
His voice was very broad and gentle, without the usual edge that concealed a sharp edge. It was mellow and gentle, like a warm current that made people approachable.
Nadia raised her head and looked at Dulin and nodded.
The next moment, Du Lin raised his hand to wipe away the tears hanging on her face, kissed her forehead, waved his hand and left the room.
At this time, my heart was in a state of confusion.
I recommend a game called ActingLessons, which is worth playing.
