When he woke up at midnight, Richard realized that he was sleeping in Kevin's house and locked in a room.

He hadn't got his phone. Afraid that Amy would be anxious, he hurriedly jumped down from the window and sneaked back to the Carter's. Amy could feel someone gently stroking her face. She knew who it was without opening her eyes.

She rolled over and dodged his hand.

Richard wanted to explain to Amy, but it was really bad for him. He didn't know if anything had happened between him and Allison.

"Amy, you already know, right?" Richard sat beside Amy and said softly.

Still angry, Amy kept silent. No matter what, she needed an explanation. Since it had happened, they had to work through it. Escape was not the answer.

"That day, I sent Allison home. Hadrian and her family wanted me to stay for dinner. I trusted Hadrian before, so I stayed. They must have drugged my wine. Do you believe me? I know you don't. You must think I had drunken coitus with her."

Richard was so regretful. He really didn't want to leave Amy, but if Amy insisted on divorcing him, he didn't know what to do.

"When I left the Field's in a hurry, I forgot to bring my phone. If Allison used my phone to say anything to you, don't believe it. I only have you in my heart. Last night, I was very irritated, so I drank with Kevin. I was drunk, so I slept at his house. He can prove it. Amy, this is the case. It's all my fault. No matter how you punish me, I don't want you to leave me." Richard was like a child as he felt like crying.

A pair of gentle hands grabbed his big hand. Richard was delighted. Amy had been listening to him.

"Amy, have you been listening to me? Amy, I don't know what to do now," said Richard, holding Amy's little hands.

"Amy, are you very angry? I am also angry, but things have happened." Richard placed Amy's hand on his face and lay down on her, immersed in her scent.

Amy was angry with Allison, not Richard. How could she play dirty to get what she wanted?

"No matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me. We are husband and wife. We must not hide anything from each other. Otherwise, others may take advantage," Amy said softly, her other hand stroking Richard's hair.

"OK, I'll be honest. Amy, what should we do now?" Richard did not expect him to be so helpless and ask his beloved for help. "Allison wants to marry you. All she did was forcing you to divorce me," reasoned Amy, but she didn't know what to do either. The Field family was famous and powerful in R City, so money wouldn't work. However, if they let it go, Allison would go even further. "Amy, let me hug you. I haven't hugged you for so long." Richard needed a warm hug.

They hugged each other quietly in the dawn. Times had never been so good.

"Richard, what's wrong with you? You look so dispirited." Hilary was having breakfast when Richard and Amy went downstairs. Richard had sprouted a beard, which had never happened before. "Just eat your food. Can't so much food shut you up?" Richard glared at Hilary.

Hilary stuck out her tongue. Neither Richard nor Amy looked well. Could it be that Amy kicked Richard's butt because he did not come back last night? Hilary looked down at Richard's butt. Richard did not know what Hilary was thinking. He walked down with Amy, sat opposite Hilary, and began to eat breakfast.

The vibe at the dining table was subdued. Amy and Richard did not speak, and Hilary did not know what to say. Did they have a fight?

"Mom, come and eat. Bring me a bowl of soybean milk." Hilary didn't know what to do, but she believed her mother would replace a way.

Cathy was busy making the soybean milk that Amy liked. It was about to be ready when she heard Hilary calling for her. Then she knew that Richard and Amy must have come down. She came out with soybean milk, and as expected, she saw all of them.

She handed a bowl of soybean milk to everyone and then sat down.

Recently, Eva and Addy didn't mess around. They stopped offending Cathy as Halbert said. And Jacob and William rarely came for dinner.

It was so quiet that Cathy felt that something was wrong. It seemed that something important was about to happen.

"Mom, look at my brother. Isn't he very handsome?" Hilary hinted at Richard's beard.

Cathy looked up at Richard and noticed that he was unshaven. Richard always took care of his appearance.

"Richard, Amy, what happened? What's the matter?" Cathy got to the point.

"Mom, we're fine. I'm just a little tired from work." Richard perfunctorily replied. He didn't want Cathy to know about those annoying things. Cathy had got so much on her plate, so he didn't want to make it hard for her.

"Tired from work? Well, eat more and take a rest." Cathy knew Richard well. There must be something wrong with him. However, now that they were at home, Cathy did not ask anymore. Home should be a safe place, but now, it had become the most dangerous place.

Cathy gave Richard some more soybean milk and placed the buns in front of him.

Noticing Cathy stop asking, Hilary also stopped. She quickly finished her breakfast and drove her Audi to work.

"Take my car. I'll be worried if you drive," said Amy after they walked out of the door.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
