Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 564

"There's a rumor going around that Ruth has been an old man's mistress for three years."

"Just recently, the man's wife finally found out about her. The wife became so furious that she chased her in the streets and hit her multiple times. Witnesses even said that Ruth was running half naked when it happened!"

It was rather apparent that Violet was having a blast talking about the miserable state Ruth was in. At the thought of how arrogant and hateful Ruth usually was, Violet just couldn't help but think that it was just karma hitting her hard and that she deserved every bit of it.

Upon hearing that, Rhys suddenly cropped up in Carla's mind. Just the other night, she happened to catch a glimpse of him at the hotel.

Ruth had been with Rhys for some time. However, Rhys decided to leave her because she always had too much drama going on that he couldn't handle it anymore.

"It shouldn't be surprising though. After all, she has been relying on some guy's support ever since she attained her college degree. She's probably going to find another man soon enough. Oh, is that why you wanted to come here? To tell me about that?"

Violet truly enjoyed seeing karma striking back on bad people.

"Of course not! Despicable people like Ruth aren't really worth my time to bother coming all the way to your house!"

Violet replied. Then she glanced over at Sally and Cody. After giving it much thought, she went on and said, "How about we leave the kids to themselves, let them play here and look for a quieter place where we could talk in private?"

Carla found the secretive look on her face a bit weird. "Okay. Hannah, can you please come over?"

Carla called out to Hannah and asked her.

At one point, Hannah was regarded as the best kindergarten teacher in all of JA City. She was already retired. Terence was the one who decided to hire her to be Sally's tutor. When they had things to take care of, she would help them look after her from time to time.

Carla then proceeded to take Violet to the balcony on the third floor. A breeze blew in when she opened the windows.

She went ahead and took a seat on the comfy couch. When she looked up, she noticed that Violet was still standing up and hadn't taken a seat yet.

"Is there something wrong? Why don't you take a seat?"

"Carla! I am so jealous of the rich lifestyle you are living!" Violet frankly told her what she was thinking as she marveled at the view outside.

After recovering from the shock, she sat right across Carla. The servant came in and served some pastries and sweets as well as cups of tea for them.

"If you would like to, please feel free to come over and visit me every day!"

Seeing the envious expression on her face, Carla told her that and smiled at her. Then, she let out a soft sigh and asked her, "Have you ever considered getting back together with William? At the end of the day, you two have a son together."

Violet grabbed her warm tea cup using both of her hands and peered at the beautiful sea.

"To tell you the truth, that's actually the reason why I came here. After all of you left on that day, William had a bit too much to drink. He ended up telling me a lot of things.

It has just been me and Cody living together for a number of years now. It's been so long that I've already gotten used to living without a man in my life. However, when I saw him again that day, I somewhat felt like I was tired of living that kind of life. I don't want to be too hard on my son. I want a shoulder I can lean on when times get rough.

What do you think? Am I just being stupid? I guess, all of my wounds have healed through the years, and I've already forgotten how painful it was."

Carla moved a little closer toward her and replied, "Why would you think that? I honestly believe that the two of you were meant to be together. What happened back then was all just a big misunderstanding. You two simply needed some time apart to think things through."

"I think that by losing you, he had already paid for that misunderstanding. But it wasn't really all that bad. At the very least, it actually even helped him realize what you really meant to him. Why don't you try to forget about the past and give him a chance to start anew?"

Shaking her head, Violet lowered her gaze and answered, "I've been cudgeling my brain about it. But I have my pride. He walked out on me to be with another woman without even having a moment of hesitation.

I don't think I can forgive him as easy as that!"

Her pride wouldn't allow her to come to terms with it.

"So what is it that you're planning to do? Are you gonna keep raising Cody on your own? Has the thought of finding a father for him ever crossed your mind?" Carla said as she softly held her hand.

Being a young boy, Cody needed a father figure to look up to in his life.

"I have no plans of doing that in the foreseeable future. Carla, since William already knows about Cody, I'm not going to lie to him. I am thinking about looking for a job in JA City. That means I'm certainly gonna be dropping by more often when that time comes!"

Heaving a heavy sigh, Violet let go of thoughts that had been weighing her down.

She had had enough of hiding from William along with all the people she loved.

She made up her mind to live her life the way she wanted.

It would be impossible to keep hiding for the rest of her life anyway.

"Are you serious? That's great news!"
