Chapter 677
Chapter 677 He Went on a Business Trip
Knowing what the other person is thinking, yet never explicitly stating it, is the unspoken understanding between adults
Of course, for a couple who sleep in the same bed but have different dreams every day, it is even more important to have such understanding in order to maintain a marriage relationship
For example, Charlie and I
The nurse that day must have known that she had said the wrong thing, and she might have later gone to confess everything to Charlie. So in the following days, Charlie even tried to avoid talking to me about Meteor's condition
No, or rather, he has never brought up any topic about Meteor again
We still took care of the child as father and mother, but we no longer discussed topics about this child. This family fell into a strange silence,
doesn't this further prove my speculation that day?
Scenes like this may be happening in different families every day, but what is special is that those families experiencing such things probably have the premise of a broken marriage
And after such things happen, most of them choose to get divorced
But I was different from Charlie, our common goal was to keep this family together, and instead of not mentioning the children to me, he actually treated me better
That feeling was like... he was desperately trying to repair our relationship and was also very afraid of losing me. As long as I was his wife, he was willing to do anything
But ironically, it is this very feeling that makes me uncomfortable
I gradually began to realize that Charlie did not see me as an equal woman to him. He always confined me to the role of his wife, placing me in the harmonious family he had woven, and he did not pay attention to everything I needed as an independent individual
It's as 1f my existence was only meant to have someone to build a family with him
This cognition made me feel extremely torn. I could clearly sense Charlie's love for me, but if things were really as I inferred, then his love for
me seemed to be just that
But I always believed that respect and a positive attitude are the foundation of communication, and they are also necessary for any relationship
So I decided to have a serious talk with Charlie, at least to figure out who Meteor really is, and whether my experience of giving birth is as absurd as I had previously suspected
But Charlie seemed to have already seen through my thoughts, in the following days, he always left early and returned late, and even after coming home, he rarely spent time alone with me. He spent most of his time locked in his study, working, and only returned to the bedroom when I fell asleep. Or perhaps, he would stay in another room all night
Charlie's evasion filled me with great anxiety, it
was almost a clear indication - everything I suspected was traceable
So after doing a lot of mental preparation, I decided to give up waiting and take the initiative
Even if Charlie was avoiding me, I still wanted to find out everything
But on the evening when I made up my mind, Charlie didn't show up at home at all
I found the maid Rose and asked her why Charlie had not arrived home yet

Rose didn't seem surprised by my inquiry, and there was even a feeling that she had been waiting for me for a long time, and I finally took the initiative to ask
"Madam, Mr. Marilyn left New York early this
morning for a business trip to Tokyo. Since it was a last-minute arrangement, the communication equipment there hasn't been prepared yet, which is why he hasn't contacted you. As for when he will return, I don't know either."
"The communication equipment was not ready, but you knew all of this. Is he closer to you than he is to me, his wife?"
I don't know why, but today I always felt uncomfortable with Rose's words, so when I answered her, I wasn't very polite and even had a hint of dissatisfaction
Rose didn't pay much attention to my unfriendly tone. Her professionalism seemed very good, even though I mocked her like that, she still maintained a smile. "Madam, please don't make such jokes. It is our duty to pay attention to the
employer's movements, and your body has not fully recovered yet. Mr. Marilyn is worried and has instructed us in advance to take care of you, which 1s very reasonable. In addition, he specifically instructed that during his business trip, to ensure your safety, there will be someone accompanying you on your outings. However, it is best not to travel."
"What? What does this mean!"
