Early the next morning, Lillian did not wake up until her phone rang. She pressed the answer button and immediately heard the sharp reprimand of her mother-in-law, "Lillian, you are an unfit wife. Sebastian came back drunk in the middle of last night, saying that you made him angry. Get your butt over here and explain it immediately.
"If you are not here in ten minutes, I’ll teach you a lesson!"
Lillian grabbed her hair hurriedly and got out of bed.
Ten minutes?
It would take at least 30 minutes to go to their old house by car even in good traffic!
She had no choice but hastily to get dressed and rushed over there.
Half an hour later.
When Lillian rushed to the gate of Palmer’s house like a gust of wind, Archibald Hawkins just came out from the other side.
He heard a familiar voice and stopped suddenly. Taking a few steps forward, he asked the entrance guard seriously in a charming voice, “Who’s the woman just now?"
The guard might be shocked by Archibald's momentum. He trembled and said, "It's our madam. What the matter?"
She was...Mrs. Palmer!
Archibald suddenly became unhappy and a cold expression instantly showed on his face.
That accounted for it!
"Sir..." The assistant stepped forward cautiously, "Shall we...go back?"
Lillian did not resist and walked over, kneeling in front of Eleanor without any temper.
In the past three years since she married Sebastian, Eleanor usually purposely make difficulties for her. She had long been used to it.
"Tell me. Why was Sebastian so drunk yesterday? He’s unhealthy for a long time, and his stomach hurt when he came back. As his wife, you did not take care of him, but went to sleep alone, didn’t you? Do you think you are wrong?"
Lillian frowned and said, "He was drunk? I don't know..."
He went to Joanna's home, which meant that he drank with Joanna. Maybe she made him unhappy? Or maybe being accompanied by such a beauty, he was so excited and drank too much so that he had a stomachache the next day. But why did she have to take the blame for him?
"What? You don't know? Why don't you know?" Eleanor slapped Lillian, "I think I’m so kind to you for a few days but you had gone too much!"
