At this moment, Charles looked at Lisa, and he felt disgusted at the sight of her.
Later that night, he even skipped his dinner because he was concerned about the real Linda.
He could constantly feel a blunt pain coming from his stomach.
It clearly occurred to him that the woman by his side was not Linda at all. She did not have Linda's character. She only resembled her in appearance, and that was of no use.
He wouldn't fall for a woman just because of her looks.
Charles was a man of great power and wealth. He had seen too many beautiful women in his life. Countless of women wanted to be his lover.
But none of them caught his attention.
The first time he met Linda, she was just another pretty girl to him.
Later on, as they saw each other more often, he was overwhelmed by her sweet personality.
For him, the most important thing in a relationship was that he could be himself with a person that he liked.
Charles shockingly noticed the change in himself after Linda got pregnant. He was no longer behaving like himself. He even doubted whether his love toward her had faded. He wondered whether he had become a disloyal douchebag.
This made him realize that the woman by his side was not his beloved Linda.
His Linda was unique and irreplaceable. Even though this woman looked like Linda, she was definitely not her.
It was like gunpowder. Some used it for fireworks, and some used it for ammunition. The former was a treat for the eyes, and the latter was a tool for conquest. Even though it was made of the same thing, the use and the value were totally different.
Lisa grasped Charles by the hand. In the next second, she threw herself into his arms. Tears ran down her cheeks as she sadly pouted, "Hubby, you haven't been with me for ages. Could you spare some time for me today? Please?"
"What's wrong?" Charles turned around, his eyebrows furrowed.
"You just had a miscarriage. You should rest more." Charles made up a random excuse to decline her request.
"Don't you wish to have another baby with me? This time I will be extra careful... I will make sure the same tragedy won't happen again."
Charles remained silent. His heart was full of rage.
Lisa understood the look on his face and felt aggrieved. She really loved him, but he treated her in such an isolated and indifferent way.
Charles turned his head away. He was disgusted at the fact that she dared call him "Hubby".
He had planned to let her keep the title of Mrs. Mu for a couple more days, and he would deal with her later because he needed to concentrate on the investigation first.
However, her constant presence greatly annoyed him.
Charles made up his mind to deal with her right now.
How could she have the guts to call him "Hubby"!
Only his beloved Linda could call him that.
Lisa couldn't tell what the look on his face was anymore as he was now standing with his back against her. She lowered her head as she reached out and tried to pull him by the arm.
"Why are you so cold to me? Are you punishing me for the miscarriage? Hubby, you..."
Her words were abruptly cut off by his, "Beat it." Charles uttered the words between his teeth.
