Bryant was getting more annoyed by the second, hisughter tinged with


    sarcasm, “Oh, look who’s suddenly so concerned!”


    “Oh, no, that’s not it.” I couldn’t help but chuckle, “The person who cornered


    Margaret today was her. Bryant, your knack for jumping from one marriage to


    the next without breaking a sweat is quite a feat.”


    His brows furrowed deeply, “Impossible.”


    “It’s true. Don’t believe me? Ask Margaret.” After that, I realized Margaret had


    been missing for quite a while. Scanning the hall, I noticed that my father-iw, Albert, was nowhere to be seen.


    A thought shed through my mind, and I quickly made an excuse. “My


    stomach hurts. I need to use the restroom!”


    With that, I clutched my stomach and hurried off toward the restroom.


    The Larson Mansion was vast. After not hearing any sound in the restroom, I


    headed straight for the backyard. The upper floors were for the family only,


    and guests wouldn’t go up there. They had either left or were somewhere

    The cold wind was biting, and everyone else was busyworking in the


    banquet hall, leaving the yard deserted.


    I tiptoed, searching around. Soon, the absurdity of my thoughts hit me. No


    matter the circumstance, it was unthinkable for anyone to engage in such acts


    on someone else’s property, especially during a celebration.


    I heard a cat’s meow as I was about to head back. Thinking someone had


    identally freed the family’s cat, I intended to help return it. However, after a


    few steps, I faintly heard a man’s heavy, rapid breathing from behind the


    dense foliage. “Easy, no one’s going toe out here. I’ll be quick, very


    quick.”


    It was Albert’s voice.


    The woman’s voice was low, almost crying, “Dad! What are you doing? It’s


    too risky here. I’m scared. If Bry finds out, it’s over between us!”


    I knew that voice all too well.


    It was my first time eavesdropping on such an act, and my heart was racing. I


    nervously began recording with my phone while instinctively holding my


    breath.


    “That’s because you’re dressed so temptingly today. Don’t worry. No one’s


    going to venture out in this cold. It adds to the thrill…”


    As Albert spoke, he eagerly kissed her. “Can’t you see? That young fool has


    no intention of divorcing. He’s never going to marry you…”


    I couldn’t believe my ears.


    ‘One, two, three…’ I was still counting the seconds in my heart when I saw


    Albert suddenly holding Margaret still.


    …


    That was pretty quick. No lies there
