His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1037

After her rope was untied, Sue felt much more relaxed. Peggy was tasked to keep an eye on her the entire time. When Sue stood up to go to the bathroom, she grabbed her arm immediately and asked, "What are you doing?

I told you, if you dare to run away, you will regret it."

"I will not run away." Sue helplessly looked at Peggy and tried to convince her, "I just want to go to the bathroom and you can come with me if you don't trust me."

Peggy frowned, but did not argue with her. She quietly followed Sue.

It had already been a day but Sue had not eaten nor drunk anything. She could feel her stomach hurt and feared that her baby also sensed it. After using the bathroom, she approached Peggy. "Mom... do you have anything to eat? I am hungry."

"You're such a nuisance," Peggy said impatiently. "Didn't you say 'no' when I asked you to eat a moment ago? If you're hungry now, I can't help you with that."

Peggy glanced at Sue and said, "Don't act like you're a madam at home. No one will attend to your food requests here. I'm telling you, stop dreaming."

Sue remained silent after she heard Peggy's rant. Peggy sent her back to the garage and locked the door. She went out and then came back with a bottle of milk. "Lucky for you, there's still one bottle of milk left from our last trip to the city," she said. "Here, drink it."

Originally the bottle of milk was reserved for Allen, but seeing Sue's poor appearance, she did not know what was going on and suddenly felt a little sympathetic.

Sue thanked her in every way as she reached out to take the bottle. She then gulped its content hurriedly. The milk did not satisfy her hunger but she felt a little better than before.

Peggy just watched her and never said another word. She took her blanket, went to Sue's side and gave her half of it to keep warm. Then she turned her back and went to sleep.

Looking at Peggy's back, Sue felt sorry for both of them. She laid beside her mom and took comfort from her share of the blanket.

Under such circumstances, she had a hard time to sleep well at all, but she needed to take a rest for her baby. She finally closed her eyes and allowed her thoughts to be at ease. The next morning, she woke up to find Allen and Peggy already awake.

Peggy brought some rice and cooked a pot of very thin millet porridge for them. When she saw Sue getting up, she beckoned her to come and eat. "Eat some and don't complain that you're hungry again."

Although it was porridge, she only had a little rice in her bowl. It did not look tasty at all. She then turned around and handed Allen a bowl of porridge with more serving. He was her son, so she wanted him to eat a little more.

"Allen, we only have porridge today. Please have some," Peggy said. "When today is over, hopefully, we can get out of here."

"OK, OK, put it there. I know," Allen said with disgusting expression on his face. Looking at the clear porridge, he really didn't want to eat it.

But he had no choice so he swallowed it anyway. Time passed slowly as he shoveled each spoonful to his mouth.

After breakfast, Allen immediately decided to call Anthony. It didn't even take the phone to finish its ring. The call was quickly picked up. Since Peggy took Sue away, Anthony couldn't rest all night. His eyes flashed open as he picked up the phone.

"Allen, where the hell are you now? How is Sue?" Anthony asked in a hurry.

"Take it easy, Anthony," Allen scoffed. "The things that I asked you to prepare for... How's it going?"
