"Amy, you are my sweetie. Come and kiss me." Richard cupped Amy's face with his hands, but Amy had a painful look. He just happened to touch her where she was hurt.
Amy gasped.
"What's the matter?" At this time, Richard discovered that Amy's face was a little swollen. He was focused on the negotiation. Besides, Amy covered her face with her hair, so he didn't see it.
"It's fine." Amy said that she was fine, but tears from grievance flowed down her cheeks.
"How could it be fine? Look at the fingerprints. Who slapped you?" Richard's face darkened.
His wife was slapped, and he immediately burst into anger.
"I told you I'm fine. Let's go. I'm so tired. I need to rest." Amy didn't want to say anything. She wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened at the Carter's at this time.
"Amy, what happened to your face?" Hilary came to pack her things and saw that Amy was wiping her tears the moment she entered the room. Then, she saw a red mark on Amy's face.
"Richard, you slapped Amy? Why? Why did you do this?" Hilary pulled Richard and blamed him badly. She thought Richard did this.
"It wasn't Richard. Hilary, let it go." Amy pulled Hilary.
It wasn't Richard? Then who did it? Hilary looked at Amy's face with distress. This mark was so big, so red, and it shouldn't be from a woman.
"Was it dad?" Hilary suddenly thought of the men in the house. At this time, the only man left in the house was her father. Her three brothers had gone to work.
"It's dad? Why did he slap you?" Richard pulled Amy and was about to confront Halbert. It scared Amy so much that she stopped him at once.
"It's because of the news recently. I don't know who took the pictures and made the headlines. Dad was angry when he read it. He asked me to explain. I was busy picking up Ms. Rose and I was about to leave. Grandma didn't let me go. I don't know what happened, but she fell to the ground. Dad slapped me then." Amy told Richard what had happened at home this morning.
"It's Grandma again. Nothing will be good as long as she is around. It must be a fake fall, and she blamed your for this, right?" Hilary did not have a good impression of her grandmother.
"No matter what, my wife can't be bullied by them. Let's go, I will definitely help you." Richard couldn't calm down after hearing Amy's words. Amy was his wife and he would always defend her no matter what.
"That's right. You must go back. Amy, don't be afraid. Richard and I will help you." Hilary was also quite pissed off. What was wrong with her family? Were they crazy?
*****
"What? Did she complain to you?" Halbert was drinking tea and chatting with Grandma Eva in the living room. Seeing that Richard returned aggressively, he looked up and glared at Amy.
Amy was not afraid of him and staring at him directly.
