Even Violet didn't expect that she and Stanley would be able to have a cold war for so long.
After all, at first, she really didn't expect that Stanley would be uncompromising.
And their cold war was only because of a disagreement, nothing really happened to affect the couple's relationship.
But they had been in a cold war for so long, which made Violet start to become uneasy.
Because Stanley, a man who loved her very much, would basically satisfy whatever she wanted, but this time, he was particularly firm in his attitude.
He would rather go on cold turkey with her than compromise.
This made Violet lose a lot of weight.
This day, Stanley went out very early in the morning, and the maid said it was still dark when he went out.
With such haste, something was probably going on.
Violet originally wanted to contact Stanley to ask him what had happened and if he was in danger, but then thought of the cold war going on and put the phone back.
Across the dining table, Aimee, who was eating breakfast, saw Violet who picked up her phone and put it down again, with a sullen expression on her face, she couldn't help but sigh, "If you want to ask, just ask."
"We are in a cold war." Violet picked up the milk and took a sip, "I can’t ask. Besides, how humiliating it would be, wouldn't that mean that I concede defeat in this cold war of ours? I'm willing to leave?"
"......" The corners of Aimee's mouth twitched, she was unsure of how to respond.
After a while, she said helplessly, "It is not a big deal, but you have a cold war for so many days, I feel uncomfortable watching from the side, I dare not even breathe loudly, just afraid to provoke you two, so that you will be angry at me."
"It is not a big deal?" Violet frowned.
Jessie pursed her lips, "Yea, you want to stay, but Mr. Stanley does not agree."
Violet gave Aimee a blank look, "Come on, my husband and I are in a cold war, but with you interrupting like this, I even think a cold war is nothing."
Aimee also rolled her eyes at her, "You don't need to have a cold war, but you even have a cold war for several days, if the words get out, people will think you two have a brain problem."
"You're the one with a brain problem." Violet said back without a good-natured smile.
Aimee nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I have a brain problem, but Violet, you and Mr. Murphy really don't have to have a cold war, it's just one of you two making compromise, but you two are unwilling to do so, that's why you keep having this cold war, of course, your cold war is actually still somewhat dramatic, but if you keep on cold warring, maybe your relationship is really going to go wrong."
Her expression became serious, "You are obviously for each other's good, but for each other's good, you have a cold war. Other couples are touched to see that the other party is good to them, but you two ...... "
Violet coughed and didn't say anything.
Yes, she didn't understand how she and Stanley had come to this point.
