All Chapters of Christmas Evening: Adulterous Couple Iced Out: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"W-What did you just say? We're not going out anymore?" my mother-in-law, Rita Malone, asked, her voice trembling. Her eyes kept flitting toward the balcony."Yeah. It's too cold outside. Why should we have to suffer?" I asked, turning to the rest of the relatives who were there for the annual Christmas dinner. "Please, make yourselves at home. I already contacted the restaurant and asked them to deliver the food instead."[Damn it! What's going to become of the two leads? They're still shivering out in the cold!][Alec Reynolds, you evil side character! Why do you keep ruining things for Carol and Elliot? Hurry up and leave the place!]Hearing my announcement, the relatives who were getting ready to leave stopped. They went back into the living room, all agreeing that it was a huge relief.However, my father-in-law, Harry Wilson, and Rita exchanged glances, their faces filled with terror. Suddenly, Rita pointed at me and yelled, "I must have been completely blind to have let my

Harry and Rita froze.I nearly jumped for joy, but I didn't let it show. I hurriedly took the bags of food from the deliveryman and carried them back into the apartment."The food's here! Let's all go back inside and feast while it's still fresh and hot!"[What? That's just too much of a coincidence! They ended up staying after all!][Carol and Elliot are freezing their butts off! Their lips are turning purple! At this rate, something terrible is going to happen!][Shit, Carol's passing out!]Everyone eagerly sat down at the huge dining table where the feast was spread out. Yet, Harry and Rita were still in the living room, glaring at the balcony door.I waved them over. "Mom? Dad? Come eat. The food's fresh and steaming hot. We don't have to go out and suffer in the cold anymore. Isn't that just great?"Rita turned to me and yelled, "Do you really think you're the head of this household, Alec Reynolds? When Carol comes back, I'm going to make her divorce you, you useless piece

Connie was the first to step out onto the balcony. Then, she immediately froze on the spot.The other relatives rushed up behind her, all gasping at the sight before them.Carol and Elliot were locked in a tight embrace, their faces purple from the cold. They lay on a thin layer of snow on the floor, completely motionless.[Damn it! Hurry up and rush them to the hospital! They're completely unconscious!][Oh my god, they're out cold! You're such a vicious, evil side character, Alec Reynolds! You're a monster!][But how did Alec know that Carol and Elliot were on the balcony? Can he see our comments?][Yeah, how did he find out?]Harry yelled, "What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and get them to the hospital! They're gonna freeze to death!"Rita was so terrified that her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor in a heap.Meanwhile, Harry had taken out his phone and was just about to dial 911 when Connie suddenly roared, "Nobody move!"She clenched her fists tightly,

I rolled my eyes so many times in my mind that I lost count. I just ignored her and looked away.Harry and Rita both sighed in relief. Harry then approached Connie, blocking her from Carol, and said, "You were too impulsive and jumped to conclusions. There's nothing going on between Carol and Elliot. We only tried stopping you from going out on the balcony because we didn't want you to catch a cold. "We had no idea where they were the whole time! Carol told me that she was going to the restaurant, and Elliot also said that he was working overtime at the office. We really thought that they weren't around!"Just then, Rita pointed at me and yelled, "It was all Alec's fault, that good-for-nothing piece of shit! There had been nothing fishy going on at all, but he was the one implying that there was the entire time, misleading everyone!"The relatives agreed with her. "She does have a point.""It seems like we misunderstood them after all.""We have to go back and explain things t

Carol glared at me. "Are you out of your mind, Alec Reynolds? I am your wife!"I chuckled coldly and said, "Not for long. Oh, and by the way, there was no CCTV camera installed on the balcony. I was just bluffing."At that, Carol and Elliot both turned purple with anger.Rita screamed at me, "It's all your fault, you damn jinx! Let me tell you, even if you were to divorce Carol, you're going to compensate all of us no matter what! My daughter has every right to take half of everything you own!"Carol nursed her cheek and chimed in, "That's right! If you're going to divorce me, you have to sign over every single property that you own, or else!"[It's because of Alec that Carol and Elliot couldn't be together. And now, he thinks he can just escape unscathed by divorcing her? It's not going to be that easy!][Hand over all your riches to Carol and Elliot!]All of the Wilson family's relatives felt embarrassed when they heard that. They pressed their lips in a line in disapproval.
