Jenny was frozen, put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.
She looked though the peephole, and there was a familiar figure at the door, with a countenance that chillier than the moonlight.
She faintly hesitated, and the hand that had been reaching for the door handle withdrew again.
“Who’s it?” Victoria’s voice came from the dining table.
Jenny put her index finger to lips to make a silent gesture.
“What? Salesperson?” Victoria asked with bewilderment.
As she speaking, Jenny’s phone on the table rang loudly. Victoria glanced at it and it was a call from Luke. She was so outraged that her first reply to the phone was, "You still have the fucking face to call? Shameless scum.”
Jenny was shocked out of her mind, and hurriedly opened the door in fear that Victoria would say further exaggerated words.
At the door, Luke held his phone, and after seeing her open the door, he raised his eyes to look at Victoria, who was still raging over her phone at the dining table, then casually hung up the phone.
“I wonder why did you say I’m shameless.” Luke said.
Jenny lowered her head and gave a path to him with embarrassing expression, “Come in first.”
She didn’t want to be laughed at by the neighbors in the floor.
As soon as Luke entered the room, he heard Victoria’s gritted teeth voice, “There is an inexplicable odor of scum! Couldn't be from the rice?”
“Or you could come to your room and lie down."
Jenny sensed the anomalous atmosphere and gave Victoria a meaningful glance.
Victoria glared at her and said, “I think you should back to your room and lie down, look at your wimpy way. Can’t it be talked about that he is do shameless? Is there a law?”
Jenny looked at Victoria’s righteous and indignant look, suddenly recalled that when she first knew Luke, he once said, “In the City X, the words of Lu family are the laws.”
He was always relentless to women. She was afraid of if Victoria said two more words, he would turn against Victoria.
“Victoria...”
"It's okay, tell me why you said I'm shameless."
His guilt-free look made Jenny a little overwhelmed. She simply left the rough place with the excuse of pouring water in the kitchen.
Luke drew up a chair opposite Victoria and sat down. His cold eyes crossed from Victoria and was a little creepy.
Victoria braced herself said, “Isn’t it shameless for a married man flirted with a woman in public?”
Luke calmly answered, “To catch adultery should be in bed.”
“Poof…” Jenny, was drinking water in the kitchen, couldn’t help spurting out a mouthful of water.
To what?
“How absurd if you have sexed!” Victoria glared with round eyes. But due to the poor health and excessively pale face, she had no aura at all.
“Hey, don’t say bullshit like Sky Song is your sister, I’m most annoyed with men saying this so that I may punch you.”
“I don’t have a sister, previously didn’t have, in the future…I won’t have without accident. She's just the granddaughter of my grandfather's old friend, that's all.”
The relationship had a big gap!
Victoria felt a chaos and asked, “What’s about grandfather and old friend? Anyway, there is no blood relationship, right?”
“I can’t ensure with you about the things of my grandpa’s generation. The only living one is my grandmother, but she treats Sky Song normally. Even if there is a blood relationship, it’s a problem because of my grandfather and there’s no proof.”
“Damn!” Victoria dropped her chopsticks and bemoaned while hiding to bedroom, “Jenny, how did you get together with this kind of freak?”
“Can you go home with me now?”
“Could it be depression? Not a maternity lot, but still suffering from a maternity disease?” Jenny thought.
Luke went out from the apartment and got into the car. “Didn’t Jenny come along?” Chen hesitantly asked because he didn’t see Jenny.
Luke raised his eyes and looked at him, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Chen’s face stiffened, “The pregnant people may be more temperamental. You don’t need to worry too much about it, maybe she’ll figure it out in few days.
Luke's face became even more gloomy.
“Sir, should we still go to the fitness center? George has just called me…”
Luke frowned, said lightly in a long time, “Call Lina and tell her go back to the apartment and pack up Jenny's personal belongings and bring them over.”
“Ok.”
In the Moonlight Center Apartments.
Lina opened Jenny's wardrobe and took a few sets of pajamas and the usual intimate clothing into her suitcase, and also brought some maternity pills, as well as a frequently used handbag in her coatroom. Except for the handbag, everything else was packed into the suitcase and placed in the living room.
“The items Jenny usually used are all here. Jenny always carried this handbag, so I brought it.”
Luke nodded and reached out to tug on the suitcase.
Chen hurriedly said, "Let me do it ..."
In a panic, the bag on the suitcase fell to the ground, and the zipper was not pulled, dropped a mess of odds and ends, lipstick, foundation, Kleenex ...
Chen and Lina picked up things in a hurry.
A small white medicine bottle was rolled to Luke’s feet, and one word was clearly shown in his eyes.
“Contraceptive.”
