My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)

Chapter 3 Homeless Amy

Amy's scream scared the person who patted her. So they screamed together.

It took Amy a moment to realize it wasn't that man, but her friend, Hannah Adams. Hannah didn't attend Amy's wedding yesterday because Gina and she never got along.

"Hannah, you scared me!" Amy said. She thought that man caught her and was going to get back at her.

"You scared me too, Amy!" Hannah's heart was still pounding heavily.

When they calmed down, Hannah took Amy to a nearby cafe.

"Why were you running? I called your name for a long time! But you were running so fast. Who was chasing after you?" Hanna asked, glancing at her.

Looking into Hanna's worried eyes, Amy didn't have to pretend she was fine and couldn't help crying out.

"What happened, dear? Did Matt upset you? Let me teach him a lesson!" Hannah's heart hurt for Amy's sadness. She stood up and decided to look for Matt. She couldn't allow him to upset her friend. Amy hastily stopped Hanna by grabbing her arm. She knew Hannah very well. If Hannah found Matt, she would beat him and this would only make things worse.

"Please don't go, Hannah. We're divorced now." Amy explained, holding back tears.

"Divorced? You just got married yesterday, and you're divorced already? Are you kidding me?" Hannah laughed, not wanting to believe her friend.

The laughter confused Amy. 'Is Hannah happy to see me divorced?'

"Why are you laughing? Shouldn't you feel sad about my divorce? Are you happy I'm divorced?" Amy stopped crying and wiped her tears with a tissue.

"Actually, I'm glad you divorced Matt. I told you before he wasn't reliable, but you insisted on marrying him. See. He's rubbish indeed." Hannah became more furious and pounded the table hard, which attracted the waiter. The two apologized before continuing the conversation.

"The most disgusting thing is that Matt and Gina got together and set up a trick for me. They even brought journalists to the hotel to humiliate me and force me to sign the divorce papers." Recalling what happened in the hotel, Amy felt angry and sad at the same time. She did love him and treat Gina as one of her best friends. But look at her now, was this what she deserved?

While Hannah was listening quietly with her face full of worry.

"Never mind. It won't hurt anymore. The only question is who slept with me last night. You know, I was a virgin before... but now..." Amy took a sip of her coffee with tears adding a salty flavor. "Damn it! I'm a hundred percent sure their relationship won't last long! As for what happened last night, what's done is done. Don't fret over this and move on, darling." Hannah tried her best to comfort Amy.

Richard sneezed in the car suddenly.

"Should I turn up the air conditioner?" the driver asked.

"It's okay. Just keep driving." Richard frowned. His family called him earlier and said they needed him back now. So his driver was expertly maneuvering through traffic to get him home as soon as possible.

...

To comfort Amy and cheer her up, Hannah spent the whole day staying with her. But when the evening came, it reminded Amy that she was homeless now. She couldn't go back to the house her family bought for Matt and her because the house was under Matt's name at his request. Back then, she believed they were going to be the family and agreed without hesitation.

Now she regretted losing her last family property because of her ignorance.

"It's too late now, Hannah. You'd better go home or your mum will get worried. Don't worry about me. I'm getting better now." Amy said, persuading Hannah to go home.

"What about you? Will you go back to your new house?" Hannah asked.

Amy nodded, "I'm good now. You already comforted me for the whole day. It's time to go home."

Later, she pushed Hannah into the taxi and watched her leaving.

After Hannah left, Amy sat on a bench and felt lost. Where should she go now? After all, she was homeless.
