Ex-Husband Who Has Gone Mad After Abusing His Wife

Chapter 30

I was also feeling a little awkward. I wanted to speak, but there was a knock

at the door, and the waiter came in with the meal cart.

The fragrance of the food permeated the room, even though they were in

covered dishes. Chris and I eagerly prepared to eat, but I suddenly heard

Rina’s voice from outside the door. “Yep, they’re inside… Just the two of them.”

She strolled into the room, still dressed in that white dress and with that

stupid grin on her face. “Rina dear, Liam wants to talk to you.”

I took the phone and went out the door. As soon as I placed the phone next to

my ear, Liam began to speak as though he was watching me do that. “Come

home now and I can pretend that none of this happened.”

“I’m busy now,” I said.

“Busy making out with other men?” Liam said coldly. “Looks like I didn’t

manage to satisfy you.”

My grip on the phone tightened subconsciously. “Don’t you feel any shame

when you utter those words?”

“I said,” he was speaking louder now, “Come home this instant!”

“No!” I figured he was already abroad on his business trip, so he could not

touch me anyway. “You have Rina, so why can’t I be with someone else? Also,

you know very well there’s nothing between Dr. Norman and me!”

I ended the call, took a deep breath to calm myself down, and returned to

the room.

Rina was already sitting in my seat. She was facing Chris.

From the door, I saw Chris giving her some food from his plate and saying,

“Collagen is good for keeping your skin smooth. It’s the perfect supplement

for women.”

Rina was fumbling with her cutlery. She thought she looked cute, but I

thought she looked stupid.

I put the phone next to Rina and said to Chris, “Sorry, Dr. Norman, I have to go

home.”

Chris turned his head away from Rina and smiled at me. “Is your husband

picking you up?”

Before I could speak, Rina said, “Yes, the car is right at the entrance. The food

here looks delicious. Would you mind if I eat some?”

Chris smiled and said, “I won’t mind, of course.” He said to me, “Take care, Mrs.

Mendez.”

After I left the room, I went to pay the bill at the counter.

I paid for Chris’ dinner because he brought my medicine to me. The prices

were pretty high, and I could not let him pay, even though he looked like he

did not mind.

A driver was waiting for me outside, but I did not want to get into the car. I

walked along the road while the car followed me some distance away.

I knew I was being absurd, but I was feeling miserable. I had told him I did not

want to go home, but Chris made me feel unwelcome.

Was Rina so attractive? Why was Chris smitten so easily?

It was a short drive, but it took me half an hour to walk home.

I was extremely tired by the time I got back, and I was drenched in sweat.

Auntie Sidney came to help me up the stairs and lie down on my bed.

I talked briefly with her before I fell asleep, but I was woken up by hunger not

long later.

I went downstairs to find some food. Halfway down the stairs, I saw Liam

sitting on the sofa in the living room. Next to him was a suitcase.

He was smoking at the moment, and Auntie Sidney was standing next to him.

He should not be able to see me.

I turned around and slowly walked back up, but after I walked three steps, I

heard Liam’s voice from below. “Come here.”

I gritted my teeth and went downstairs.

Auntie Sidney was standing some distance away. She seemed nervous.

Liam leaned back on the sofa and turned his head toward me.

I did not intend to speak, so I stood there and stared at him.

The atmosphere was tense, but suddenly, my stomach growled.

Liam turned his head to Auntie Sidney. “Why didn’t you let her eat?”

Auntie Sidney replied, “Her fever flared up again as soon as she reached

home, and she said she wanted to nap for a bit. I wanted to give her some

food after she woke up.”

Liam stubbed out his cigarette and stood up.

I immediately took a step back when I saw him approaching me, but he was

faster than me, and he hugged my waist. Even though it was an intimate

position, I could sense his displeasure.

He could not hit me when we were talking on the phone, so I dared to talk

back to him.

Now that he was so close that I could smell his scent, fear overcame

rationality, and I could only lower my head and tremble quietly.

I could sense Liam staring at me for a long time, as though he was

wondering if he should break my neck or swallow me whole.

I held my breath for some time before Liam spoke, “I thought the fever made

you an idiot.”

He paused for a moment before kissing my forehead. “Looks like you still

know what’s good for you.”

He let go of me and walked away.

I wiped the spot on my forehead where he kissed me. After I watched him

turn the corner, I walked toward the dining hall.

I saw Liam again in the dining hall.

He had already sat down. The servant was serving food.

I wanted to turn around and walk away, but Auntie Sidney stopped me.

“Come and have dinner, Mrs. Mendez.”

At the same time, Liam turned his head toward me.

I could only go over and sit down.

The dining hall was not very big. It only had a dining table inside.

I designed the dining hall myself. It was furnished in a modern style mixed

with elements of rococo with swaths of blue and gray.

I planned to host romantic candlelight dinners here with Liam on every

love-related festivity and during our wedding anniversary.

The truth was, he only ate there twice. The first was when I grilled fish for him.

The second was when he celebrated the peacock tattoo lady’s birthday.

I remember standing at the door watching him blow out the candles on the

birthday cake with the peacock tattoo lady.

The cake was decorated with Van Gogh’s “Starry Sky,” and it was very

beautiful.

I picked the cake myself. Not long before that, Mr. Cailan called me and

asked me what cake I would like.

That day was my birthday too.

It did not matter if the peacock tattoo lady was only acting. The agony he

gave me was always real.

I shoveled plain spaghetti from my plate into my mouth. Suddenly, someone

placed a meatball on my plate with a fork.

I lifted my head and looked at Liar.

“Stop looking at me. Eat!” he said sullenly.

I pushed the meatball out of my plate and continued eating plain spaghetti.

In less than half a minute, another meatball appeared on my plate.

I was about to push it away when Liam suddenly said, “Eat it unless you want

me to beat you.”

I stared at him and asked, “Is violence all you know?”

Liam leaned back on the chair and glared at me coldly. A while later, he

abruptly stood up.

I could sense trouble. I was about to stand up and leave when he pinned me
