Nikkie's POV"Why did you give Nikkie your credit card?" a demanding question sounded from the doorway. I, still surprised by Richard's gift, gasped in shock at the interruption.Richard and I both looked to the source of the voice and found Krystal standing in the doorway, staring at us. Krystal's crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her lips pulled down. It was apparent that she was holding back her irritation. I glanced at Richard with concern. I was afraid that Krystal would misunderstand me and think I was looking for an opportunity to gain an advantage over her husband.Without thinking, I grabbed the card wallet and pulled out the credit card inside. Richard watched my movements, but I was already too scared that Krystal would go berserk. That made me think nothing of grabbing Richard's wallet and putting the credit cards back in it.What made me even more depressed in the next second was when I heard Richard's heavy breathing. The atmosphere around us instantly turned hea

Nikkie's POV"What's wrong with you? Are you mad at me? You've been acting weird since yesterday!" Krystal retorted in a tone that had gone up an octave. Krystal's gaze flashed defiantly at her husband.That's right. This time, I was sure there was something wrong with Richard. Krystal had been behaving normally and pleasantly all day. The problem is with Richard. Didn't Richard say that the problem between him and Krystal was over? Or is it not? Krystal rolled her eyes in annoyance. She turned her body around, left the dining room, and went to the second floor. Krystal left me and Richard in awkward silence. I know, generally, at a time like this, people would lose their appetite. But not me. I still felt hungry. However, eating at a time like this would be rude, wouldn't it? As I was still staring at the almost-cold chicken soup, my ears picked up the sound of shoe treads descending the stairs.Krystal came down the stairs looking like someone going to a club. "Krystal, where a

Krystal's POV"There's nothing. I thought I saw someone I knew, but I was wrong. Let's go," I replied, trying to calm Chris down. I took him by the arm, trying to distract him.Chris didn't seem satisfied with my answer. His eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze circulated the club but found nothing but people he didn't recognize. Chris glanced at me with a frown on his lips. "Is that person your new lover?"Chris's question inevitably made me roll my eyes in annoyance. This is what I don't like about him. Chris is stupid and jealous—a troublesome combination.But I can't be mad at him. Despite his stupidity, Chris was the most competent man in bed. The technique he had was able to satisfy me to squirt many times. This fact consistently reduced my anger when Chris started to trouble me with his combination of stupid traits.I stood on tiptoe, then gave Chris a long peck on the cheek. "Why would I have a new lover if I have the one I like the most here?"Even Richard never got such a spoile

Krystal's POV"Are you going back now?" asked the man with the green iris beside me. I didn't notice him because I was too lost in my thoughts. He handed me a mug of coffee. I accepted it and took a sip. I glanced at my cell phone. Unlike usual, when I disappeared without any news for more than a day, Richard would send me dozens of text messages and calls.Now, it turned into just one text message.[Please come back. There's nothing between me and Nikkie.] That was the message I received two days ago, right after I left home.This is the first time since I got into a relationship with him. I don't understand, but it's not Nikkie's fault. Poor girl, I still remember the confused look and scared expression she showed on the morning when I returned from the hotel.That's right, the one who changed was Richard. The CCTV footage I saw the other day also explains the same thing. Ever since I got to know Nikkie, I had no clue that Nikkie would try to snatch my husband.Especially with

Krystal's POV"Hello, Richard? Have you had dinner yet? How about we have dinner together and reconcile?" I asked on the phone.Richard, on the other end, could be heard letting out a long sigh. He seemed to feel strange about my sudden invitation. Looking back, I had never asked Richard to talk to me first. If we fought, Richard was always the first to make up, either by taking me to a romantic dinner together or buying me jewelry or the latest clothes from my favorite brand. I smiled sarcastically, half-mocking myself. Just to prove my suspicions about my own husband's feelings for the surrogate mother, I'd done something I'd never done."Okay, Krystal. Where are you now? Do you want to be picked up?" asked Richard after a long pause. I had to check my phone line again to see if we were still connected."Where are you right now? I'm on the road," I replied while slowing down the pressure on the gas pedal. "I'm at a restaurant in the suburbs. I'll give you the address via text mes
