"It's her idea to take revenge on us."
Morgan dropped into the sofa tiredly.
"What!" Luna was shocked again, "She –"
She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't utter a word.
In fact, before the car accident, Lorie had been collecting evidence of the affair between Luna and Morgan. Judging from this matter, Lorie was courageous and resolute. So, Luna was scared at that time and plotted a car accident.
"I don't know what to do now. Just resigned it to the fate," Morgan said and closed his eyes to take a rest on the sofa.
Luna was angry immediately. She came forward and grabbed Morgan, "What do you mean? Do you want to escape and abandon me and our kids?"
Morgan had been exhausted from Lorie's blow to him. As Luna quarreled with him, he got annoyed instantly.
He pushed Luna away, "What did you mean? Can I decide anything now?"
Today, he has thoroughly understood the attitude of Lorie and Anya. They would never let him off the hooks.
Pushed away by Morgan, she collapsed on the ground and began to cry loudly, "What am I doing wrong? I have been with you for so many years without asking for much and even raised two kids for you. But now you don't give one damn about us!"
"Jackson is still in his teens. If something happened to me, what about him and Gracie?"
When Luna began to talk about Jackson and Gracie, Morgan became more irritable. He directly got up and rushed into the bedroom, slamming the door heavily.
Outside, Luna, Jackson, and Gracie were crying on one another's shoulders. Hearing their crying, Morgan only felt himself on the verge of a breakdown, his sense of regret growing stronger.
The misstep he made sent him into an abyss.
In the very beginning when his company began to boom, he became a big boss from a countryside poor boy. All kinds of women threw themselves at him when he was socializing with his business partners, so he gradually drowned himself in sex and pleasures.
In addition, Lorie had paid all her attention to her daughter and parents but ignored him. He couldn't control himself and fell into Luna's honey trap, and things gradually got out of control.
He still remembered that he once went to visit a soothsayer, who told him that his wife and daughter could bring him a lot of fortune and suggested he should run the family well.
The happier his family was, the more prosperous his career would be.
He didn't believe it at that moment. But now when he thought about it, he found the soothsayer's words made sense.
Since he betrayed Lorie and had a relationship with Luna, there had been no more improvement for his company. Although it was still profitable, it had never been brilliant as before.
Now he had nothing.
The more he thought about this, the more aggrieved he was.
He walked around in the bedroom for a long time, then he took all his identification documents, opened the door, and went out.
He wanted to leave here and left Luna and two kids. He didn't want to stay with them anymore, let alone face the revenge from Lorie and Anya with them.
What he had done to Lorie and Anya was just betrayal. The car accident was all plotted by Luna, and he didn't get involved in it at all, though he knew it.
And he didn't stop it.
