Marcus realized his slip of the tongue and immediately said, "All right, it's late. Good night."
Lydia didn't seem to have heard what he had just said, so she also said good night and hung up.
Then Marcus took out a cigarette and lit it.
He didn't believe that Charlotte could move on so easily after being together with him for so many years.
Unlike Marcus, Charlotte had a good night's sleep.
Charlotte checked Elizabeth's messages over breakfast.
Elizabeth texted, "Aargh, so what if the ring isn't for Lydia? He can't say that he brought her there to pick a ring for you, can he?"
She went on, texting, "Lydia got the worst of it this time and paid trolls to clear her name and portray her as a poor innocent girl. She's so shameless. It will be a pity that she can keep the facade."
