I lay down on the sofa and closed my eyes to rest. The images of Frederic stroking Emilia’s hair kept flashing through my mind.
That was the tenderness I had been begging for ten years but never got. Emilia easily obtained it, and it was even given to her by Frederic voluntarily.
“Kira, I have a question for you.” I opened my eyes and saw Kira crouching down to wipe the coffee table, so I spoke up.
Kira respectfully answered, “Mrs. Hudson, you may ask.”
I thought for a few seconds and asked, “I have a friend who is still in college and has a very nice boyfriend who is about the same age as her. They have a good relationship. But recently, a married man has been pursuing my friend and she seems a bit shaken. Do you think she should choose her boyfriend or the married man?”
Kira and another servant exchanged a glance, and then Kira spoke up, “Of course it’s her boyfriend. We must never have any involvement with married men!”
“If that married man was richer than her boyfriend and pursued her relentlessly, what would she do?” I stared at Kira.
“She would have to reject him too, otherwise she would be a woman without morals who destroys other people’s families. Besides, what good is a man who cheats?” Kira was a bit agitated. I could tell she really believed this.
This family had a strong sense of morality. But in the previous life, how did they all end up becoming bad?

I couldn’t help but admire Frederic. He single–handedly caused their moral values to collapse.
Another servant was also indignant. “She should have chosen her boyfriend, of course. No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she becomes a destroyer of another family, she is a whore!”
Kira must have thought of her daughter, since the background of my friend that I mentioned was very similar to Emilia’s. However, Kira didn’t know that a married man was pursuing Emilia.
Kira tentatively asked, “Mrs. Hudson, how old was your friend?”
I answered off the cuff, “She was a senior student and would graduate next year.”
saw Kira visibly breathe a sigh of relief right after I finished speaking
“Okay, Kira, go cook,” I ordered.
It was already evening, and I just wanted to eat something and then lie in bed, emptying my mind.
I fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it, until Frederic woke me up. He said, “Sylvia, wake up!”

I opened my eyes groggily and saw Frederic’s cold expression. He was holding lipstick, the same one I had left in his car today. Was the lipstick discovered so quickly?
I guess after leaving the mall, Frederic must have escorted Emilia back, otherwise he wouldn’t have noticed this lipstick so quickly.
“What’s wrong?” I pretended not to understand, sat up, and rubbed my
eyes.
“Did you intentionally leave this lipstick in my car?” Frederic threw

the lipstick at me and sneered. “Aren’t you waiting to divorce me? Aren’t you planning to play around? Is this how you want to play with me?”
I held the lipstick in my hand and calmly replied, “Isn’t it just lipstick? Why are you so angry? I didn’t drop a bottle of poison in your car.”
Frederic looked at me gloomily. “Don’t ask me questions you already know the answer to.”
“Oh. Did that woman you helped today see this lipstick? Is she jealous?” I said. Then I casually apologized, “I’m really sorry. I’ll pay attention next time.”
“Don’t use your shameful methods to deal with her, or else don’t blame me for being impolite to you,” Frederic seemed very worried that I would harm Emilia.

I gave a bitter smile, unable to maintain the calm on my face. “Don’t worry. I didn’t go into the seafood restaurant with you today, nor did I see your lover. I don’t even know who she is, so how could I deal with her?”

I knew that Frederic would protect Emilia well. Today’s incident would not be reported by the media. Otherwise, Emilia’s reputation would be ruined.
Frederic turned and went upstairs. Even his back was shrouded in a chill.
He finally waited for Emilia to take the initiative to ask for his help, and they got a little closer. However, when Emilia got into the car, she found another woman’s lipstick and remembered that he was a married man. Suddenly, their distance was multiplied again. He was not angry, which was strange.
