John looked at Dave’s furrowed, thoughtful brows, not knowing what he was thinking, but assuming there must be some guilt towards Elaine in his heart. His expression softened slightly, but the anger in his heart could not be suppressed. He managed to keep his tone steady as he said, “Dave, Elaine is your wife. Over the past three years, do you have any idea what she has gone through?”

“Everyone sneers at her. She faces all kinds of difficulties. Even now, the Bo family refuses to acknowledge Re

    Dave walked out of the kitchen and grabbed his coat to head upstairs. He had taken only a few steps when Reece caught up to him, clutching the leg of Dave’s pants as he followed. “Dad, when will Mom come home? Do you know where she is? I haven’t seen her in two days.”Dave had no desire to answer. If he knew where Elaine was, he would have taken Reece to her long ago. Elaine was off somewhere partying, completely forgetting she even had a child. When she’d crashed into his car, she’d acted like such a noble, devoted mother. But now she was just abandoning Reece. She really was a master at pretending!“Papa, I want to see Mama. Can you take me to find her?” There was a hint of pleading in Reece’s voice.But Dave didn’t stop walking. “I don’t know. Don’t bother me!” He pulled his leg free from Reece’s grip and quickly entered his room, slamming the door shut firmly before the child could follow. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.Dave rarely came home this early. He lay down on his s

    Dave lifted his lashes, his deep, unreadable eyes scanning Aunt Chen as he said, “Why? I pay you to work for me—are you refusing to make me dinner?”Aunt Chen sensed the coldness radiating from him and stammered, “No, no, it’s just that the little miss used up all the vegetables in the house tonight. If you’re willing to wait, I’ll go buy some right away!” She spoke nervously, knowing full well that Bay Toon was in the suburbs. Even a trip to the nearest supermarket would take over an hour.“Dad, even Mom said the food I made is delicious. Why won’t you eat it?”Dave was very tall, and the little boy, looking up, couldn’t see the man’s increasingly gloomy expression. Yet when Reece mentioned Elaine, a flash of anger sparked in Dave’s narrow, deep eyes. He didn’t answer the child, but instead fixed Aunt Chen with a look that made her feel she’d misunderstood something.Dave said coldly, “You want me to wait for you to buy vegetables now? Are you planning to serve me dinner or a midnigh

    YeSe BarAfter the last ray of light faded, YeSe Bar remained unlit. Elaine finally sensed that something was wrong. YeSe was a bar—it was already night, yet there wasn’t even a sound coming from inside? If she hadn’t woken up that morning and seen that the bathroom was still decorated with YeSe’s branding, she would have thought that Cindy had taken her somewhere else while she was unconscious.Elaine had been locked inside YeSe for a day and a night. No matter how strong she was, how successful she was in business, or how much praise she had received, Elaine was still a woman. Her psychological defenses had crumbled under the weight of the pitch darkness and the hunger she felt.Would you like me to adjust the tone of the translation to be more formal or more literary, depending on your needs?She tried to stand up from the floor again, slamming her body against the toilet door with all her might. “Open the door! Let me out! I need to… pick up my daughter from school!” Elaine’s eye

    The blue veins on Dave’s forehead bulged twice. He then got out of the car, walked around to the driver’s side, and said in an angry tone, “Get in the car!” Reece wiped the tears from his face and quickly climbed into the vehicle. Once Dave saw that Reece was seated properly, he slammed the car door shut, walked back around to the driver’s seat, and got in. He had just started the engine when Reece asked in a small voice, “Daddy, where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to wait for Mommy?”Dave frowned. Wait for Elaine? She had been having such a good time that she’d forgotten herself, and there had been no word from her at all until now. Leaving Reece here waiting for Elaine—who knew how long they’d have to wait for her? Besides, was it even right for Reece to be waiting for her here? Dave said nothing, driving in silence all the way to Bay Toon.He got out of the car alone, his long legs striding toward the villa. By the time Reece stepped out, Dave was already out of sight. Having be

    Through the car’s thick glass, Dave could still hear Reece’s voice.“Papa, will you come see me again?”Reece was so innocent, standing there with a pale face, the wound on her head looking worse than before. Perhaps because she’d kept touching it in the car earlier, it had grown more severe. The sight of her made Dave’s pupils contract in surprise. But he didn’t say a word, immediately stepping on the gas pedal.“Dad?”Reece’s figure seemed to shrink as the car pulled away. Suddenly, Dave thought that Elaine’s apartment had no fence and was located right on the edge of the highway. A vivid image flashed through his mind—Reece running toward his car and getting hit by a vehicle.He licked the corner of his lips and said to William, “You’re close with Olivia Lu, right?”This made William think Dave was about to scold him again about the stolen underwear incident. “Why?”“Call her and tell her Elaine’s daughter is outside her apartment!”William laughed at this. “Dave, you told me not t

    Now this childish question—why did it feel, upon hearing it, as if he was being accused of some heinous crime! Dave freed one hand, loosening the tie around his shirt collar, then snapped his eagle-like gaze toward William. His voice was like an ancient, blackened weapon—cold and hard. “Are you sure you want me to answer?”Reece heard this and tugged at William’s sleeve, asking in a small voice, “Uncle, am I really an illegitimate child? Can you tell me what that means?”The little girl’s eyes grew redder, glistening with mist, but she still refused to let the tears fall. “I looked it up in the dictionary. It says an illegitimate child means… means Reece isn’t his father and mother’s child.” Her voice began to choke, weak yet stubborn. “But I asked Mom once, and she said I’m not an illegitimate child!”Reece’s words were simply a child speaking the truth, but they made William’s heart ache a little. No matter how uneasy he felt, she wasn’t his child, so he shouldn’t be the one hurt—y
