Her words were like a bomb exploding in my brain!
What did she mean? Sean and Cindy had a baby?
I stood there confused and asked, “how old is him?”
“He’s about the age of your son.”
Cindy answered.
I looked at her and couldn’t believe it. “You’re lying to me!”
I said decisively!
Yes.
Sean couldn’t agree!
Cindy didn’t force me, “I don’t care if you believe it or not. You want Sean to come back to you for your son, and I want to do the same for my son. We are both his ex wives, and we have the same relationship with him!”
Cindy’s words stunned me.
I was really stunned.
I never expected Cindy and Sean to have a child.
I stared at her and opened my mouth and didn’t know what to say. I was confused.
In the end, I said nothing and went back to the hotel.
The hotel room was very good. There was a small balcony outside the window and there was a small table and chair on it.
I could sit on it and bathe in the sun.
I sat there thinking about the afternoon.
When I pretended to be dead, Sean and Cindy got married. Sean did this for Jessop Family to have children.
But why hadn't he ever told me?
So I was no different from Cindy.
I sat there and thought. The sun was setting slowly.
I was planning to climb the wall in the evening.
But now I was not in that mood at all. I didn’t even know how I was going to meet Sean.
He and Cindy had a baby.
Then I...
Because of the time difference, I didn’t get sleepy until midnight.
I fell asleep in bed.
It was already noon when I got up the next day.
There were some small restaurants in the town. I went downstairs to have lunch. To be honest, the food here was not delicious.
I was not used to it at all.
But it didn’t matter.
Last night I even thought about whether I would go back.
I had lunch and turned on my computer and wanted to work. I got a text from Daisy, “honey, have you seen your Sean?”
I told her about coming here before.
Seeing Daisy’s text, I thought about it and picked up the phone and called her directly.
Soon she answered the phone. I heard her surprised voice, “it’s expensive to make a cross-border call.”
“I have something to tell you.” I looked at the desktop and thought about it and said, “yesterday I learned that Cindy and Sean might have a son who is about the same age as Lester.”
“What?”
Daisy was very surprised and very loud.
I hurried to keep the phone away from my ears.
Daisy went on, “it’s impossible. Didn’t he tell you?”
I took the phone and shook my head. “No, I just heard about it yesterday. Now I’m in a mixed mood.”
“All right...” Daisy said, “I think you should ask Sean yourself. Cindy is insidious. You don’t know if she’s lying. She’s a lady in York, but she’s a real bitch. You’d better ask him.”
Daisy’s words made me feel a little reasonable.
