Marilyn was obviously disappointed. "What?" But she did not make things hard for Larissa. "Alright then. Go do your thing."…Larissa kept calling Wendy's number like crazy, but no one answered at all. Eventually, Wendy's phone gave out the message that the phone had been turned off, though Larissa did not know if it was because Wendy was annoyed or if the phone's battery ran out.Larissa was more anxious than ever, and she slammed her foot on the gas pedal to drive over to her old apartment as fast as she could.Larissa still had her old key to the apartment even though she had moved. The truth proved that this was a wise choice.She could not even be bothered to change her shoes as she charged into the living room, but the scene in the living room was completely different from the way Larissa imagined it—Wendy was sitting on the couch, a huge bucket of fried chicken in her lap. There was a massive oil stain around her mouth from chewing on chicken wings. The trash bin nearby w

Larissa had prepared a whole lot of words of comfort, but none of them were used. She was quiet for a while before asking Wendy, "Do you wanna go over to my place and stay there for a while?"Although Wendy was acting really calm, Larissa still worried about her being alone in the apartment."Sure!" Wendy happily agreed and threw the fried chicken she was holding away. "I'll go pack right now!"…Because they did not live far apart, Wendy only brought a few things. "I've never lived in a huge place!" She was so excited along the way. One could not tell that she had taken a huge blow today.Lewis was still at Larissa's place. When he saw Larissa bringing Wendy back before Larissa's supposed time of return with a pale face, a bunch of questions ran through Lewis' mind. In the end, he just asked, "Did you have your dinner yet?""She did." Larissa pointed at Wendy. "I didn't."Wendy quickly said, "I can still eat!"…There were many people in the house. Lewis ordered takeout, whic

Kevan comforted Larissa in amusement before asking, "What happened to her and Edmund?""She broke up with him, and she plans to abort the baby soon." As Larissa spoke, her voice grew quieter. "I feel a little bad."It was probably because of her nightmare yesterday, but Larissa suddenly felt that she was too cruel to force Wendy to abort her child."I keep thinking what if Edmund was not as trashy as we thought, what if he really loved Wendy …"Then everything they did would have been to break up a potential marriage as well as the murder of an innocent life.Kevan firmly interrupted Larissa. "There is no such possibility. Everything you're doing is for Wendy's own good.""But …" Larissa still felt bad."This matter has already ended. Stop thinking about it," Kevan advised her. "Accompany Wendy. Go window shopping, watch a movie, buy whatever you want. Use my card."He had left a card with Larissa. It had unlimited credit and had no PIN either. Larissa had kept it in her purse

Larissa read those documents until 2 am. When she went back to her room, she purposely went to the guest room as she wanted to check on Wendy.Carefully pushing open the door, Larissa saw darkness and no light. The person lying on the bed heard the noise though, and she shouted, "Who is it?"Larissa screamed in fearful shock. After she calmed down, she put a hand to her wildly beating chest and turned on the lights.Wendy sat on the bed, her hair completely messed up. She looked very energetic and not sleepy at all. They stared at each other for a while before Larissa asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's so late.""I should be asking you that." Wendy looked annoyed. "It's already so late, and you still come to other people's rooms secretly. Who are you trying to scare?""I just finished reading the documents Lewis left for me," Larissa said. "I just happened to pass by your room, so I decided to come take a look.""Tsk!" Wendy rolled her eyes at Larissa. "Don't think I don't

"Answer the phone, let's talk about this!""What's going on?""Answer the phone!"…Larissa scrolled upward. It took her at least one minute before she finally reached the message that Wendy sent, "We're finished." The timestamp was 9:06 am.Wendy saw that sentence too."I left the hotel and went home, then I texted him that. Then I ignored him. Tell me how fucking dumb he is? Doesn't he know what he has done? Does he need people to, like, fucking spell it out for him without leaving him any dignity?" Wendy was super pissed as she finally started pouring out the words she wanted to say."We had already agreed to just be friends with benefits. If someone decided to stop, the other would not harass the person who called to stop things. But in the end? Seriously, I'm telling you, Larissa, men are fucking liars!"He was the one who said he liked me. He was the one who said he wanted to be with me. In the end, he couldn't even fucking control himself and sleep with someone else anyw
Chapter 854
On Sunday morning, Lewis came over early and gave Wendy two tickets for a big Tinseltown sci-fi movie that had just hit the cinemas."If you're feeling bored, you can take Aster to the movies."This movie was quite popular recently. During weekends, the theaters for that movie were always packed. Wendy had wanted to watch the movie with someone before, but she was unable to get tickets."Fantastic!" She happily agreed and leaned down to hug Aster and give him a kiss. "Come have fun with Godma later! I'll take you to eat the best food there is!"Although Larissa was worried about Wendy's health, she also hoped that her friend could go out and do something to distract herself.While Aster was looking for his bag in his room, Larissa quickly grabbed her son and instructed him to take note of several things."Godma's not feeling very good. Be a good boy when going out with her, walk properly, and don't run. Don't jump on Godma, and watch over her. Don't let her eat random things. She

Lewis was a workaholic. Larissa was the same. They did not put down their work even when lunchtime rolled around. They simply ate instant noodles while they worked.Larissa's phone suddenly rang. When she saw that it was Aster, Larissa panicked and answered the call at once."Mommy—" Aster was crying as he called out to her.Larissa's heart began to pound. She felt more worried than ever. "What's wrong?" Her voice was trembling."Godma's missing!" Aster sobbed as he tried to say everything clearly.Larissa walked out of the study at once. Seeing that something was wrong, Lewis followed too."Don't cry." Larissa comforted him. "Tell Mommy properly what happened."Aster took several deep breaths to calm down."Godma and I were eating, and then she said she wanted to go to the toilet and would come back. She told me to wait for her at my seat."Aster had already texted Larissa about it before they ate. He even snapped a picture of the restaurant."And?" Larissa had no time to

Lewis arrived at the restaurant before someone called the police. After he paid, he picked Aster up and pulled Larissa out of the place.Now that the situation was under control, the people in the restaurant kept looking at them though, and their quiet discussions kept going.Aster's emotions calmed down slowly after they were in the car. His wailing changed into sniffling and hiccuping. He held Larissa's hand and refused to let it go.Lewis did not rush to start the car. He took some tissues and gave them to Larissa to clean herself and Aster up. They had cried so hard that their eyes were red. Their faces were wet with tears and it actually looked kind of scary."Try calling Wendy," Lewis said to Larissa, who dug for her phone while hugging Aster.Wendy's phone remained unanswered like yesterday. But this time, she had her phone with her, so it was impossible for her to not have heard the ringtone."Why don't we call the police?" The ringing in the phone made Larissa's fear com
