I felt satisfied and pretended to blame Frank, "Hey! Don't talk to Charles like this."
After dinner, Charles peeled an apple for me with his slender and well-defined fingers. I said, "Just let Mary peel it."
Charles smiled indulgently and said to me, "It's my honor to prepare fruit for you."
Perhaps because of these details, I fell in love with Charles.
During college, Charles was the most handsome boy in our department, but he ignored all his fangirls and claimed to have someone in his heart.
In the first semester of our junior year, he spent a lot of money to buy two front-row concert tickets and invited me to go with him.
But after that, he still ignored me.
Later, I heard someone saying that the two tickets cost his living expenses for his entire semester.
To take care of his self-esteem, I pretended not to know that he only had one dish for every meal. I gave money to every chef and told them to add some dishes for him, saying that it was leftovers from the day.
I was afraid that his part-time job would earn a little money and influence his schoolwork, so I had my servant squat at the school gate to stop him and arrange for him to tutor kids for 500 dollars per hour every day. Of course, all the money was from me.
At the graduation ceremony, he came over with a red face and wanted to take a photo with me.
He didn't dare to hold my hand, so I held his hand, gave him a bright smile, and confessed to him, "Charles, I love you."
After marriage, I wanted Charles to be a department manager at my father's branch company.
He refused, saying that he didn't want my family to look down on him, and decided to start his own business to give me a comfortable life.
I felt sorry for him and took out my money to help him. I begged him for a long time before he was willing to accept the money.
Now I realized how stupid I had been.
But Charles was a good actor.
He didn't buy a house and pick up her mother in the countryside until the second year after starting her own company.
Charles said, "My mother was vulgar, but you grew up in a wealthy family. I didn't want you to be bothered by the contradictions. When I make some money, I'll buy a house for my mom so that she won't affect our lives."
Charles was such a good partner. But he had an affair under my nose and even wanted to kill me.
