Unexpectedly, the next morning, I received a message from Charlie: Leila, I don't want to argue with you. I hope you can calm down and reflect seriously. I'll forgive you this time, but if it happens again, I will divorce you.
I screamed internally, why did Charlie change his mind so quickly? He had agreed to divorce me!
I realized I needed to try harder.
I bought a front-row ticket to Abigail’s performance.
While she was on stage, I thought of sad things and cried intensely.
I could see clearly that Abigail was distracted on stage, missing several beats.
After the performance, I waited for her in the back alley.
However, this time, a man was already there, waiting for me.
He was tall, with golden curls, as handsome as a statue in an art gallery.
I recognized his chiseled features immediately from photos.
Even if I hadn't seen his pictures, I would have guessed his identity easily.
After all, his Hermès shirt cuffs were stained with oil paint.
He was Abigail's brother, Orlin Hill, a very famous painter.
I suddenly regretted not putting on makeup.
I asked, "Mr. Hill, are you waiting for me?"
He seemed surprised that I recognized him.
He nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Wilson, I want to talk to you."
I said, "Of course."
