Even though a part of her didn't want to dream of it, her mind started to wonder what would have happened if she was married to Terence instead.
With a lot of thoughts in her mind, Eunice and Eric were finally back in their room.
Rhys was still sleeping on the couch. She patted Eric's back and told him to go out and play.
She walked to the couch and looked at Rhys' sleeping face. She sighed and tried to put a cover on him.
She was about to leave the room when his phone suddenly beeped twice.
She turned to look at Rhys, and she saw that he didn't even move an inch.
Then, she picked up his phone. Her hands were shaking as she did so. She looked at the phone's screen, only to see that it was locked.
She took a look at Rhys' hand, which was idly hanging outside the couch. She gently placed the phone under his finger and the phone unlocked in a second.
She held her breath and nervously clicked the messages icon.
The one who sent the latest message was from "Honey Olivia". The second Eunice saw it, her eyes immediately turned bloodshot. She knew very well what that meant!
She took a deep breath so she could calm down and read the message.
The first message read, "Dear Mr. Lazy, are you awake?"
Then the second one was, "You promised to have lunch with me! Don't be late! I will wait for you at our usual spot!"
The nickname was enough for Eunice to know that they had a very close relationship. In fact, it was too close for someone like Rhys who had a wife and a son.
After reading more of their messages, Eunice's blood started to boil more and more.
She could feel her anger rising, bubbling up inside of her. With so much effort, she contained everything that she was feeling. She even stopped herself from hitting him on the head with his own phone. She figured that if he got hurt, she would have to take care of him afterward anyway.
Eunice took a few more deep breaths as she tried to read through their old messages. However, it looked like Rhys had already deleted the previous ones.
"What are you doing?"
Eunice was so focused on his phone that she didn't notice Rhys was already awake. He was staring at Eunice who was standing in front of the couch. He asked but from his perspective, it looked like she was looking through his phone.
"Nothing. Someone just called, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I hung up."
