I returned to the villa. Theo had already gone to the company. I went back to the room to take a shower and then lay down to rest.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
I was exhausted, and my hands and feet were still sore, probably because I had run too long this morning.
After heading downstairs with difficulty, Caroline saw that I was walking strangely and asked, "Madam, is something wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just overexercised and it hurts a little now."
Caroline looked at me with a smile when I said this. I noticed her expression and immediately responded, "Ah, it's not what you think. I went running with someone this morning and ran for too long, so I'm sore now."
"So that's it. Abruptly exercising for too long will indeed cause soreness. Madam, please be careful.”
"Yes, never again."
I swore secretly in my heart that there would never be a next time.
"By the way, Caroline, how’s your family doing?"
I actually wanted to ask if Jason was acting any different recently so that I could know how Nina was with him. It would not be good to ask so directly, however, so I could only start with this.
Caroline found it strange. She smiled and asked, "Pretty good. Why are you asking this all of a sudden, Madam?"
She obviously did not get what I was asking. I sorted out my emotions and then said, "I’m talking about Jason. Haven't you noticed anything different about him recently?"
Caroline seemed to have thought of something when she heard my question and nodded quickly. "Yes, he’s always leaving early and returning late recently. I don’t know what he's doing. I saw lipstick stains on his shirt when I was washing it two days ago. A woman must have left them.”
"Then, is he in love?" I asked tentatively.
