Joseph was very annoyed. He just wanted to throw her off. He was so disgusted.
But the woman held him so tight that they both stumbled onto the sofa. Joseph felt the woman underneath his body. He didn't like it. Not even a bit.
The door of the bedroom was suddenly opened, and he looked back in astonishment.
He immediately turned pale when he saw the person in his bedroom. Was he daydreaming? When did Lillian arrive? She was at home when she sent a message just this morning!
Well, that was not important then. Lillian was shocked and her hands were trembling with what she saw right in front of her.
Shit! Joseph thought to himself. He was in deep trouble!
He pulled down the woman's hands on his neck, showing no care for the woman.
"Honey!" The woman on the sofa turned over and fell to the ground. But he just rushed to the bedroom.
Lillian slammed the door and locked it. Joseph almost hit his nose on the door. It was just mere inches away!
Oh, he's dead! How could he explain this... Joseph was frantically pounding his fists on the door. "Lillian, please listen to my explanation. It's not as bad as what you saw!" He couldn't just let their relationship end this way.
Lillian sat on the bed blankly. She felt so numb. She didn't cry nor go crazy. She just sat there quietly.
She didn't even respond to Joseph's shouting.
She thought Joseph to be very simple and loyal. But the truth was there were so many beautiful women in the entertainment circle. And he was a superstar movie actor. It's already understood that many women would surround him.
She trusted him all the time until this very day. She believed that he could resist the temptation, but obviously she was wrong.
"Honey, you are carrying a baby. Please don't get upset. Let me explain. Honey!" Joseph kept on talking to his wife outside the room. He couldn't bear to give up.
Damn woman! Damn his director! He would send the woman away right now.
He dialed his manager's phone number and let him take the woman away.
He would never ever cooperate with that director again.
After his manager led the woman out of the room, Joseph turned to Lillian again, "Honey, the woman is gone now. Open the door, please."
Lillian was annoyed with the endless knocking. So she wearily opened the door.
Then she quickly put on her coat and walked outside the door with her bag. She even didn't give a look at Joseph. She didn't care about him. Not anymore.
Joseph quickly stood in front of her and said, "Hey, honey, could you please listen to me?" Joseph held his pregnant wife, and tried to flatter her.
"Take off your dirty hands from me!" Lillian stared at the man in front of her. She remained expressionless. She wouldn't want to bark at the wrong tree.
"How could I like that ugly woman?"
"So you mean that you will sleep with her if she is pretty?" Lillian retorted at once.
Joseph put her hands on his face. "Honey... It's all my fault! Please cool down and let me explain it to you."
"Please don't be upset. It might hurt the baby."
Lillian pulled her hands away and pointed at the sofa, "Sit on the sofa!" Joseph sat down on the sofa obediently and watched Lillian open the door and go out.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Joseph followed her immediately and blocked Lillian before she got in on the elevator.
