Chapter 23 A Shameless Mistress
Alston went back to work after his legs healed. As time went by, Cynthia’s wound was almost recovered, and she had never seen him again.
Every time she asked Greg about him, he would say Alston was too busy with his work.
Cynthia listened and smiled ironically.
More than once, she saw Alston walking downstairs on the lawn with Hulda.
She didn’t understand. He had enough free time to accompany Hulda, but couldn’t spare a few minutes to visit her.
She was his wife!
The wound healed quickly, and there was no need to be hospitalized continually. Cynthia asked Greg to go through the discharge formalities, and she picked things in the ward by herself.
“Hi, Cynthia, you recover so soon.”
There was a sarcastic voice came from behind. Cynthia turned around with a straight face. Hulda leaned against the door frame with delicate makeup and looked at her cheerfully.
“I don’t want to talk to you. Please leave.”
Cynthia looked at her face, which was similar to her own. She felt uncomfortable. This face reminded her that she was just a substitute. A pathetic substitute.
Hulda didn’t care about her attitude at all. She walked to Cynthia, and looked at her up and down.
“When I was kidnapped before, I didn’t see you clearly. Now I can see that you and I look really alike. No wonder Alston would marry you.” Hulda smiled gently. She sounded proud, but secretly she pinched her fingers and whitened them.
“Enough!” Cynthia threw her clothes on the bed. Her face was cold.
“Are you angry?” She chuckled and leaned close to Cynthia, “Presumably you know that the person. he really likes is me. Don’t you feel guilty being his wife with a face similar to mine?”
“I don’t.” Cynthia sneered, “You are the one who should be guilty. Even though he once liked you, he is married now. He has a wife, but you pester him shamelessly. What’s the difference between you and a mistress?”
“If you still have a little shame, you should stay away from him.”
Hulda’s face turned pale with anger. She snorted coldly, “What are you proud of? You stole him from me, and you can’t keep him. I came to get Alston back. When facing a choice between life and death, he chose to save me and shot at you without hesitation. Don’t you understand?”
“In his mind, you will never be better than I. I come here to tell you that Alston has agreed to let me work in the Smith Group. Besides, he introduced me to everyone who works in the company in a fair and square way.”
Cynthia was stuck. They had been married for over a month. Except for a few people, the outside world still didn’t know that Alston was married. Even those who knew he was married didn’t know who his wife was or what she looked like.
Alston had no intention to introduce her to his relatives and friends. For the past month, she had only met Ivan by accident.
But he was aboveboard and introduced Hulda to others.
As long as you like someone, you couldn’t wait for the whole world to know. Only if you her, you would always hide.
Anyone with eyes could see who he liked more.
