Linda just had to pretend to be sad or vulnerable, and Henry would immediately back down."Henry…"But now, even as she played the same trump card and started to sob, Henry suddenly said, "I just met Eric Sandler."The name left Linda taken aback.Eric was one of Henry's close friends, and it was only natural they met often.But the timing and the look on Henry's face as he said it inevitably reminded Linda of Sophie.Still, she pressed her luck despite connecting the dots—Henry would not go so far as to investigate her when he trusted her unconditionally.Hence, working hard to stay calm and composed, she asked, "Oh! Then why didn't you invite him over? It's been a while since I've seen him too, and I could cook—""Aren't you curious about what he told me?" Henry demanded icily, cutting her short.After learning the truth from Eric, Henry suddenly could not recognize the calm Linda—as if she was a stranger.Orange used to be so kind that she would start stammering when she t

Though Linda's tears never stopped, and her tone was at once earnest, Henry said sternly, "I'll handle us. You're not allowed to go looking for Tina."He said 'not allowed' instead of 'you don't have to', because after learning the entire story, he finally understood why Tina kept saying that Linda murdered Sophie.And since Tina hated Linda to the bone, Linda would just upset Tina by showing up.Linda nodded then and continued, "I've been having trouble sleeping ever since I learned that Sophie died. I really feel so guilty… I really want to make it up to Tina…"Those words left Henry scowling. "I'll do that.""How, Henry? Is there anything I can do?" Linda asked enthusiastically, like she really wanted to make amends."I'll marry her, giving her her rightful place," Henry replied quietly.Linda was so shocked that she forgot her tears and could not bring herself to ask, "What about me?"As she kept staring at Henry with tear-filled eyes, she suddenly did not know if Henry was

John had fantasized about tonight countless items—cooking together, dining together, and washing the dishes together, just like ordinary couples did.It was a simple daily routine, but he had yearned for it for years.It was merely human nature to be greedy, and while one could have been more restrained because they never had a taste, John missed Tina soon after he left because of that moment of intimacy.He was almost thirty but felt like an impulsive brat just then.He tried to stop himself too, but his hands moved faster than he could think, making a U-turn at the green light.However, when he returned to Maple Park, he saw a familiar car.It was Henry's.At that very moment, he felt very lucky that he had turned back.He promptly ran out of the car and up the stairs, not waiting for the elevator.As soon as he reached Tina's floor, he found Henry grabbing Tina, and he rushed toward the doorway, grabbing Henry's collar from behind and pulling while punching him in the face

Tina looked like she had completely recovered, even smiling at John. "Sorry, I must have given you a fright."However, that smile only left John's chest tightening.Still, he did not say much and patted her head before taking her hand, which felt cold to the touch.Caught by surprise, Tina stared at their hands for seconds but did not pull away.Her heart felt so cold that she yearned a little for such warmth."Thank you, Dr. Urban," she said. "I'm going now."Nancy Urban nodded. "Call me anytime.""Okay." Tina nodded and left with John.Nancy watched them leave before returning to her office.When she was gone, Linda stepped out from behind the hallway, with Nancy's words ringing in her mind.Now, Linda was sure that Tina was chronically depressed, to the point that further shock could drive her to suicide.Linda sneered sinsitertly—her focus was on the word 'suicide', just as she would love to see how Henry was going to make amends to a dead person.Henry could only be he

Tina hung up without hesitation, but her phone jingled as the number sent a message: [Answer the call, or you'll regret it.]It was captioned with a picture of the graveyard where Sophie was buried, and Tina's mind seemed to go blank at that.The negative emotions that she had gone through great difficulty to restrain once again went into a frenzy.Her hands trembled so much that she could not hold on to her phone.Still, Tina took deep breaths, doing her best to compose herself.But before she could recover, another call came.Tina answered before she knew it, and Linda's face appeared right then.She was standing right in front of Sophie's grave, her eyes vicious as she snarled, "Come here alone, and don't tell anyone—or there won't be anything left of your bastard."She then flipped the camera around, and Tina immediately saw the familiar pink urn by her feet.It was the urn holding Sophie's ashes—Sophie loved pink, and Tina had personally picked it for Sophie, so there wou
