Ding-dong... ding-dong...
At this moment, the doorbell broke the rare tranquility that had covered the room like a silk blanket, and Sherry was taken away from her thoughts.
She stopped writing and got up to open the door, her brows furrowed, wondering who would come at this time. The door opened to the sight of a stunning woman who was dressed in an enchanting and coquettish way. It was Jessie.
"It's you!"
Evidently, Jessie didn't expect to see Sherry either, as she appeared stunned and out of place, her mouth wide open in surprise.
But she recovered at once and straightened her posture, her chest puffing out like a prize cock. Without waiting for Sherry's response, she pushed her way inside and said, "Yes, it's me, you tramp! You slept with my husband after you met him once, didn't you?"
Sherry startled at the blunt accusation, but she immediately gathered herself and answered icily, "Please show some respect. This is not a den, so please don't flounce here like a rabid animal."
Jessie was speechless because when she came in, she was expecting a cowardly girl who was afraid of her, but she definitely didn't expect this.
She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. It was a long moment before she could rally all the anger inside her and talk.
"Respect? You don't deserve my respect!"
With one hand on her waist, she thrust a finger at Sherry's chest sharply and shouted in her face, "You didn't respect my marriage when you seduced my husband, you harlot! And you even dare to enter my house? Do you have no decency left in you, or are you proud that you are just a mistress?"
Meanwhile, Sherry kept her silence and didn't bother to argue with her.
She appeared so calm and composed that it took Jessie off-guard, and her strong confidence almost overwhelmed Jessie too. Physically, Sherry was intimidating as well, as she seemed to be a foot taller than Jessie, even in her house slippers.
Of course, when a woman is faced with her shortcomings, hatred is the easiest reaction. So the face of this woman, who seemed confident in her skin despite Jessie's repeated verbal assault, filled her with anger.
"I'm telling you, even if you've taken my husband's body, you will never get his heart.
He loves me above anyone else, and in the end, after he is tired of you, he will go back to me. He provides for me everything I need and all that I can ever I want. He will even buy me the moon if I want it."
Despite the insults, Sherry could only look at her with pity.
She wondered, with a trace of bitterness in her mind, had she been like Jessie in the past? She had always thought that this man, who had shown her so much kindness, would be kind to her all her life, but she was wrong. Oh, what a ridiculous and stupid girl she was then!
"Mr. Ou, please take care of your business!" Sherry said aloud and retreated to the side, and Jessie startled at her words. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a man that was lying on the bed.
Jessie stiffened for a second, and she wondered how much the man had heard, but she quickly recovered as if nothing happened.
She rushed toward him, all the bitterness and anger wiped from her face like she was a new person, and she grasped his hand gently. With a sweet smile, she said,
