Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Are You Mad?

After I got out of the hospital, I figured that it might not be practical to go back to Water Villa to sleep, so I simply went to the company.

I was planning on working at first. However, after a sleepless night, I couldn’t help but sleep in the office. I slept there for most of the day, and in the evening, Rachel dragged me to go shopping.

Rachel was a girl from a bourgeois family. She had been in the city TV station as a reporter. A while ago, she went on a field trip for half a year and harvested good results, so the city TV station gave her half a month to rest.

She always came to the Conner Group to look for me and drag me around.

“Tabatha, how about we go to a beauty salon after eating and then go to the movies?” She was a lively person. She dragged me while chattering about our next activities non-stop.

I nodded and had no objections. I had been in such a terrible mood these days, and I figured that taking a walk wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Therefore, we went shopping and eating.

When Walter called, Rachel and I had just had our tickets checked and were about to enter the theater.

Looking at the caller ID, I frowned and answered the phone. I said, “What’s up?”

Walter’s voice was cold and deep. He probably heard the noise over here. “Where are you?”

“I’m at the cinema watching a movie.” I found a quiet place at the entrance of the cinema.

After half a minute of silence, his slightly cold voice came from the other end of the line. He said, “You’re watching a movie?”

I nodded and then realized he couldn’t see that. I said, “Yes. What’s up, Mr. Hinton?”

He seemed to be suppressing his emotions. “I’m in the hospital, Tabatha.” His words sounded cold.

“I know.” I signed the informed consent form.

He stopped talking. After a long time, he suddenly said, “I’m hungry.”

I was stunned and frowned. “Isn’t Ashley with you?”

He didn’t seem to hear me and said, “If it’s not convenient for you, I’ll ask Dale to be here.”

I was speechless.

Among all the people, he chose Dale. It was no different from telling the Hinton family that I went to see a movie while neglecting him, my paralyzed husband.
