When they arrived at the door, Josephine was holding her son in her arms. Andrew's hands were empty, and he didn't seem apologetic at all. It seemed as if he didn't think it was a big deal that he had hit Josephine last night.
"Did you meet Coralie's husband yesterday?"
Andrew asked as he walked, hands in his pockets.
"Yes."
Josephine was carrying the baby. She only wore pajamas and a jacket brought by Andrew. Her legs were cold because of the wind.
"How is he? He must be an old man. Although she is very good-looking, she is a secondhand woman after all. How can there be a man who accepts her in this manner?"
"No, her husband came to pick me up last night. He is very young and handsome."
Back when Josephine was in school, her eyes were fixed on Andrew every day. She did not pay too much attention to other men, and she did not know Skylar.
"Very handsome? Impossible!" Andrew didn't believe it. "Could it be that rich people are not smart? With so much money, why doesn't he find a young and beautiful virgin? Why would he find a second-hand product?"
"Perhaps he doesn't think like this."
"Of course, he would. I know some famous streamers. They earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.They change women every day. Each of them is more beautiful than the previous one."
Seeing that he was so excited about this, Josephine also felt uncomfortable. She looked at Andrew, the man who had been with her for so many years, and she could not help asking, "Then, if you have money, will you..."
When she asked him this, Andrew immediately became quiet. After a while, he turned around, patted her on the shoulders and said, "Look, we have a child. What else can I think about?"
Andrew knew that he was only paid a few hundred dollars a month. Now, he was relying on Josephine's money to support the family. He couldn't afford to offend her now.
"Well, I saw Coralie talking to her husband quite politely yesterday."
Josephine let down her guard and said this to Andrew casually.
Andrew was intrigued by this statement. "I knew it, how could a person like her marry a rich man? She is really a mistress, right? Haha, I want to find the wife of the man and threaten Coralie to lend money to us."
Josephine was frightened and she regretted what she said just now. "Don't do this. Coralie can't be such a person. It was Howard who betrayed her first. If you do this, I won't give you any pocket money!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't be angry. I won't borrow money from her, okay?" When Andrew heard that she wouldn't give him any money, he was so scared that he apologized in a hurry.
On the second floor of the villa, Coralie stood at the window of the bedroom. She watched Josephine, who was beaten up yesterday, walk away. Josephine was wearing thin clothes and carrying the baby. Andrew just walked forward empty-handed. She let out a long sigh.
There was a saying that a woman's marriage was her second life. In a sense, this was true.
It was really a pity that Josephine, who used to be so beautiful, turned out to have such a pathetic married life.
......
In the afternoon, the part-time servant who worked at Skylar's house arrived. This was the first time Coralie had seen her. She was very surprised that this woman was only in her late twenties. She seemed to be just a few years older than Coralie.
Skylar mentioned before that her name was Helena Wilson.
When she came in and noticed Coralie, she said in a respectful manner, "Hello, Madam."
"Hello, you don't have to call me Madam. My name is Coralie."
Coralie didn't think that she was the hostess of this house, and she also thought that she couldn't bear this title.
As it was inconvenient for Coralie to walk around, she was afraid of causing trouble for Helena. Therefore, Coralie sat on the sofa without moving.
"Oh."
