Shawn looks at Jenny, and wants to say something. But finally, she gives up.
In the evening, Jenny comes home, has dinner with her grandma and chats for a while. Then Mrs. Lu answers Luke's phone.
These two days, he goes on a business trip and now calls Mrs. Lu landline.
She doesn't know what they say on the phone. Then Mrs. Lu looks at Jenny, “Well, I'll let Jenny talk to you.”
Jenny waves her hand. “No...No...”
She feels uncomfortable talking face to face, let alone over the phone, which is unnecessary.
Mrs. Lu puts the phone into her hand regardless of whether she is uncomfortable. Then she puts on her coat like she knows everything. “Ling, let’s go out for a walk for two hours.”
Jenny says, “Mrs. Lu, it is very cold now, so staying outside for two hours is not good for you.”
“Then an hour, and I am so happy today.”
Before Jenny can say something, Mrs. Lu goes out.
Then Jenny picks up the phone, “Hello? What do you say to your grandma, why does she go out for an hour now?”
Then Luke answers, “I just ask her to wear more clothes because it becomes cold these days and ask her how you are going by the way.”
Jenny holds her forehead, “You’re not implying anything, are you?”
“No,” Luke says firmly, “but I do not know whether she will think of anything else.”
“Obviously she's been thinking too much!” Jenny replies.
Obviously, Mrs. Lu has a vivid imagination. She thinks Luke asks her to put on more clothes and go out for a walk so that Luke can talk with Jenny.
Interesting.
Suddenly Jenny seems to hear laugh, then she hesitates, “Are you laughing?”
But Luke does not answer.
“Is it funny?”
“I’ll be back in another two days. If you need help, just call me.”
But this sentence has nothing to do with the question she is asking.
Jenny says coldly, “You’ll be back in two days. Even if I call you, you won’t be back at once. So there is no need to call you.”
“What?”
Luke asks seriously, “Is there no need to call me?”
“Yeah. Even if I call you, you will not come back.”
So Michael bullies Jenny and no one helps her.
There is a grievance in her voice, which makes Luke feel worried. And there is a tenderness in Luke’s eyes, though Jenny cannot see him. But the window of the hotel showed a gentle look that he has not had for many years.
“Wronged?”
Luke asks softly.
“...”
Jenny does not expect him to ask because she thinks she hides it well.
“No.”
“If you feel wronged, just call me. Even if I do not stay with you, you have to trust that your husband is able to handle everything for you.”
Jenny feels surprised.
