When he woke up at midnight, Richard realized that he was sleeping in Kevin's house and locked in a room.
He hadn't got his phone. Afraid that Amy would be anxious, he hurriedly jumped down from the window and sneaked back to the Carter's.
Amy could feel someone gently stroking her face. She knew who it was without opening her eyes.
She rolled over and dodged his hand.
Richard wanted to explain to Amy, but it was really bad for him. He didn't know if anything had happened between him and Allison.
"Amy, you already know, right?" Richard sat beside Amy and said softly.
Still angry, Amy kept silent. No matter what, she needed an explanation. Since it had happened, they had to work through it. Escape was not the answer.
"That day, I sent Allison home. Hadrian and her family wanted me to stay for dinner. I trusted Hadrian before, so I stayed. They must have drugged my wine. Do you believe me? I know you don't. You must think I had drunken coitus with her."
Richard was so regretful. He really didn't want to leave Amy, but if Amy insisted on divorcing him, he didn't know what to do.
"When I left the Field's in a hurry, I forgot to bring my phone. If Allison used my phone to say anything to you, don't believe it. I only have you in my heart. Last night, I was very irritated, so I drank with Kevin. I was drunk, so I slept at his house. He can prove it. Amy, this is the case. It's all my fault. No matter how you punish me, I don't want you to leave me." Richard was like a child as he felt like crying.
A pair of gentle hands grabbed his big hand. Richard was delighted. Amy had been listening to him.
"Amy, have you been listening to me? Amy, I don't know what to do now," said Richard, holding Amy's little hands.
"Amy, are you very angry? I am also angry, but things have happened." Richard placed Amy's hand on his face and lay down on her, immersed in her scent.
Amy was angry with Allison, not Richard. How could she play dirty to get what she wanted?
"No matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me. We are husband and wife. We must not hide anything from each other. Otherwise, others may take advantage," Amy said softly, her other hand stroking Richard's hair.
"OK, I'll be honest. Amy, what should we do now?" Richard did not expect him to be so helpless and ask his beloved for help.
"Allison wants to marry you. All she did was forcing you to divorce me," reasoned Amy, but she didn't know what to do either.
The Field family was famous and powerful in R City, so money wouldn't work. However, if they let it go, Allison would go even further.
"Amy, let me hug you. I haven't hugged you for so long." Richard needed a warm hug.
