Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 47

The first page of the notebook was titled: [100 Little Things About Cathy].

And the first item was her birthday–May 16th.

Rebecca’s hand loosened, and the notebook dropped to the floor. The code for their front door was 52516, and the safe’s combination was 0516. So, for five years, she had been living in Vance and Catherine’s home.

Suddenly, the air in the room seemed to become thin and suffocating. She pressed her hand against her chest, gasping for

breath, but it wouldn’t come easily.

“Ma’am?” Nancy called out from outside, snapping her back.

“What’s up?” She crouched down to pick up the notebook and spotted the second line: [Have one or more houses she loves, with the password set to her birthday.]

She no longer wanted to read further and shoved the notebook back into the safe, restoring everything to its original state.

Nancy waited at the bedroom door. “Mr. Bradford had the driver drop off some fresh crabs. How would you like them prepared?”

“Make them spicy,” Rebecca said offhandedly, her chest tight and her mind elsewhere.

“Ma’am, these are king…” Nancy started to point out that they were king crabs and that making them spicy might be a waste.

But Rebecca wasn’t listening anymore. She grabbed her things, brushed past Nancy, and headed out.

Countdown to leaving Vance Bradford, Day 26: [He remembers 100 little things about Catherine, and I’m going to sell our wedding rings.]

Rebecca arrived at the second–hand luxury store on time for her appointment with Vivian and showed the pair of rings.

While appraising the items, Vivian enthusiastically poured Rebecca a cup of tea and asked her to sit for a while.

But she suddenly felt uncomfortable, with a gush between her legs. It was her period arriving early.

She stood up immediately and asked for sanitary pads.

“Yes, they’re in the cabinet in the bathroom. You’ll see them as soon as you go in.” Vivian pointed to the location of the bathroom at the back.

“Vance, look! This store has so many models of this watch, and there’s even a limited–edition Zodiac version, made just for the locals it’s out of stock everywhere.” Catherine pointed to a watch inside the display case.
