In a Normal School in J City, Kelley curled up in the thin quilt and cried for a while, gradually calming down.
Kelley told herself that as long as he could come back alive, she should be happy, shouldn't she? As for whom he was engaged, it was his business and she shouldn't care. After all, child bride was just a funny joke in an international city like J City. Who would believe it? It was the decision of the Civil Affairs Bureau whether they could get married or not.
There was no one in the dormitory. All the roommates went to the library or the study room to prepare for the final exam. The exam week was coming after Christmas. No one wanted to fail the exam this year. It was really troublesome to make up for the exam.
Kelley got up from the bed, turned on the tap and washed her face in the washbasin that was used by the dormitory. In the snowy weather, the water from the tap was really cold, but at this moment, the cooler the water was, the better Kelley felt, because when the cold water patted on her face, she could completely wake up, realize her identity and status, and face the unknown feelings in her heart.
He engaged with the woman he liked today. After washing his face, Kelley took a towel to wipe her face. She told herself that he had nothing to do with her anymore. She told herself that she would leave the Leng Family from today on and let the funny title of child bride go to hell. From eighteen years old to twenty-two years old, four years had passed. No matter how long a dream was, it was time to wake up today.
Tears fell down again unconsciously. After wiping her eyes with a towel, Kelley raised her head slightly and tried to restrain her tears. She told herself that she had cried this time and that she would never wait for him and never cry for him again.
After Kelley washed her face, she took out her phone and checked the time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. It was too late to do part-time in the supermarket at this time. Kelley also missed the meal time. There was no class in the afternoon, so Kelley planned to take her books to a study room to prepare for the exam.
As soon as she left the dormitory with her backpack, her phone rang in her pocket. It was Sandra's calling. Kelley answered it, "Hello, Sandra. What's up?"
Sandra said anxiously, "Kellie, how did you clean the floor today? Madam is back. She is angry now. Come back soon. Poor girl! You are so considerate. Why madam doesn't like you? "
On the phone, Kelley promised that she would go back in half an hour and then hang up the phone. It seemed that she couldn't prepare for the exam today. She had to deal with the madam of the Leng Family first. Madam, this address, was definitely a nightmare for Kelley. Sometimes, Kelley felt that she must have done something wrong in her previous life, so she had to accept all kinds of torture from madam all her life to repay her sin.
Fortunately, Kelley had Sandra who was the most experienced nanny in the Leng Family and now had been promoted to a housekeeper. When Kelley was a child, she was beaten and scolded by madam every day. She had learned to observe others' expression, keep a low profile and pretend to be obedient. However, it was useless. Madam's beating and scolding would appear at any time. If Sandra hadn't protected her secretly, she wouldn't dare to imagine if she could grow up healthily.
Kelley hadn't gone to kindergarten, and even the tuition for primary school was given by Sandra. When she was in junior high school, madam didn't beat or scold her very much, but instead, madam made difficulties for her. For example, today, she let Kelley used a duster cloth to clean the floor of the whole villa. But Kelley didn't complain too much about it. In her opinion, it was just to do more work. Anyway, there were a lot of things to do every day, and she didn't care about it.
