Chapter 50 A Good Show


    Time had passed so peacefully and quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed.


    Finally, summer had arrived and people could already feel the scorching temperature even in the


    morning.


    Mary was walking with her mother in the garden of the municipal hospital.


    "How are you doing with William recently?" her mother asked.


    "Well, it''s still the same," answered Mary calmly. Since the "pregnancy" incidentst time, their


    rtionship seemed to have be alienated. For the past month, she could barely see William


    even at home, except duringpany meetings.


    "You..." Mary''s mother sighed, "Men don''t understand women''s hearts. You have to tell him


    everything."


    "Okay, I got it." Mary smiled and whispered to herself, "Tell him everything."


    "I wonder if the fragrans in our hometown is in bloom," Mary''s mother suddenly said.


    Mary''s hometown was located in Z City. It would take three to four hours of drive from A City to get


    there. Although Z City was in the north, it was in the basin area. Fragrans would bloom almost a


    month earlier than other ces.


    When Mary was still a child, her mother would often take her hand to go see and smell fragrans.


    She also used to make fragrans cakes for little Mary. All of these had be very precious


    memories.


    "It''s still early," said Mary. "Summer has just arrived. Although the fragrans blooms early at home,


    it''s not this early."


    "You''re right," Mary''s mom sighed. "I have been dreaming about home recently, but I don''t know if I


    can go back again."


    When Mary heard this, her eyes turned red and her nose twitched. It was impossible for her mother


    to go back to her hometown by car because of her current physical health status.


    "When you get better, we can go back." Mary was stunned for a moment. When she was able to


    speak again, she said, "When fragrans is blooming, Mom, please make me fragrans cakes again."


    "Okay, okay." Mary''s mom turned her head slightly and smiled warmly at her daughter. "From now


    on, you must have a good time with William," she said as she patted Mary''s hand.


    "I know, Mom." Mary bit her lip upon hearing her mother''s advice.


    "When I leave one day, remember to take my ashes back to our hometown."


    "Mom..." Mary''s voice trembled slightly. "You speak so much today..."


    "I can do it a few more times."


    "Mom... Please stop."


    "Mary," Mary''s mother continued. "I''m sorry for making you suffer. For the past two years, looking at


    you run around, I sometimes wish I could leave early."


    "Mom, what are you talking about?" Mary wiped her tears and added, "What''s the point of leaving


    me alone?"


    "Mary? Do you still hate your father?"


    Stunned, Mary asked her mother, "Why? Why not?"


    "He is your father." Mary''s mom sighed. "I don''t want you to hate him."


    "He left you when you needed him the most. When I was a child, he was a hero in my heart. I


    looked up to him but he shattered my illusion with his own hands." Mary shook her head and added,


    "I can''t help but hate him."


    Mary was a stubborn person. Even if he was her father, she still could not let go of her hatred for


    him.


    "Mom," said Mary, not wanting to continue the topic. "I''ll go back to Z City in a few days and see the


    fragrans for you, okay?"


    "Okay, okay, okay."


    In the summer afternoon, the sun was scorching hot.


    It was an unusual kind of weekend for Mary, who justy on her bed and yed with herputer


    all day.


    Unfortunately, someone interrupted her pleasant time alone.


    The phone rang all of a sudden. She looked at the caller''s name but to her surprise, it was a strange


    number.


    Mary hesitantly picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Mary."


    A woman''s voice came from the other end of the line. It sounded firm and decisive.


    At first, Mary thought that it was William''s real girlfriend. It took her quite some time to call. But, the


    woman sounded really calm.


    "Do you have time now? I want to meet you."


    ''Could it be true?'' Mary pursed her lips and asked, "Who are you?"


    "Oh, haha," the womanughed. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I''m Nancy Lin, Frank''s wife.


    Frank''s wife? Mary was puzzled. ''Why did Frank''s wife call me?'' she wondered. ''We don''t even


    know each other!''


    "What''s up?" asked Mary.


    "I don''t know if you''d be interested but I''d like to invite you to watch a good show," Nancy said, a


    hint of gloating in her voice.


    "Well... I..."


    "I think, as William''s wife, you would be interested to watch it. Don''t worry, I won''t let you down,"


    Nancy said with a smile at the other end of the line.


    "But... I don''t even know you."


    "I won''t hurt you," Nancy assured Mary. "You are the wife of William and I am the wife of Frank.


    Aren''t they good friends? Why are you so worried?"


    It seemed that Nancy emphasized the words ''good friends''.


    "You will see William soon."


    ''I will see William soon?'' Mary frowned and thought, ''William told me that he would attend a


    business meeting in another city this weekend. Was he lying?'' "Where?" Mary couldn''t help but feel


    curious at Nancy''s proposal.


    "Starbucks at Century Square. I''ll wait for you there."


    "Okay."


    After hanging up the phone, Mary took a deep breath. She wanted to see what would happen.


    ''William, Frank, Nancy, and Victor.


    Life is getting more and more interesting, '' Mary thought after calming down.


    The air conditioner in Starbucks was so low that Mary shivered with cold as soon as she entered


    the establishment.


    "Here!"


    As soon as she entered, the woman sitting beside the small round table by the window called her.


    The woman was beautiful despite the fact that her makeup almost covered her original face.


    "Nancy?" asked Mary.


    "Yes, I am." Impressed, Nancy nodded, "You came so fast."


    "I don''t like making others wait."


    "Haha." Nancy smiled at her. "Would you like a cup of coffee?" "No, thanks." Mary shook her head.


    She came here for a purpose and she wanted to know what Nancy was up to as soon as possible.


    "Let''s go then." Nancy stood up at once, grabbed her sses on the table and said, "Please enjoy


    the free show."


    Mary nodded and stood up as well.


    Nancy said nothing. She just strode in front of Mary in high heels.


    Mary suddenly remembered the time they bumped into each other. She recalled she had seen


    Frank go to the hospital with Nancy before. Nancy was so arrogant that time.


    Even now, her posture was still straight and perfect. However, without Frank, she looked a little


    lonely.


    "Where are we going?" Mary asked. She was sitting in Nancy''s car, bewildered.


    "My home."


    Nancy stepped on the gas and the car sped away.


    ''How could you drive in high heels? Aren''t you afraid?'' Mary frowned.


    They drove farther and farther away. Finally, the car came to halt in an area with group of vis in


    the suburbs. "Seaside vi?" asked Mary. "Yeah."


    ''William''s home is in this area. Do she and Frank also live here?''


    "I''ve never seen you here. Do you even live here?" Although it was a question, Nancy said it with


    certainty.


    "I live downtown."


    "That''s great." Nancy sneered, "I want to stay away from here. Out of sight, out of mind."


    "What''s bothering you?" Mary was getting more and more confused about Nancy''s words.


    "You will know it soon. By that time, you''ll be grateful to me." Nancy led her to a dark red vi and


    advised her, "Don''t be stupid and naive."


    Mary frowned and looked back at William''s vi which she had only seen once.


    "Here we are." Nancy pointed to the vi in front of them.


    There they saw a three-story vi with arge grass area in front.


    When they got closer, they saw the first floor of vi. The whole floor was surrounded with ss on


    the three sides. Moreover, the expensive furniture was clearly visible. "It seems that the time is just


    right," Nancy said as she led Mary to the huge ss wall in the east.


    "What do you want me to see?" Mary asked with slight annoyance.


    "Can''t you see? It''s your husband." Nancy pointed forward with her newly manicured index finger.


    Following the direction where she pointed, Mary saw William at once.


    He was standing in the kitchen with his back to them. He raised his arm and it seemed that he was


    looking for something.


    ''Why is he here?''


    William took two winesses from the overhead shelf and walked slowly to the living room. He


    didn''t notice the two women who were peeping at him.


    Frank sat up from the sofa and took the winess from William.


    Only then did Mary see him on the sofa.


    William poured wine in the two winesses and it appeared that he was saying something. Frank


    seemed to be satisfied with what he said and smiled happily. William bent over and gently rubbed


    Frank''s hair while smiling coyly.


    Mary did not understand what was wrong with this. She turned her head to ask Nancy why it was a


    "good show" but she saw an


    indescribable expression on Nancy''s face.


    There appeared to be a smile on her face but it seemed deste. It seemed that she was about to


    cry but her unwillingness stopped her from crying.


    All of a sudden, Mary gasped at the sight of the two people in the house. What she was watching


    was an absolute shock for her.


    She knew that her shock was a hundred times more than that of Nancy.


    ''What am I looking at? I don''t understand...''


    While kneeling on the sofa, Frank straightened up and slowly moved his face closer to William. The


    side of William''s delicate face was seen. For a second, it seemed that William smiled at the corner


    of his mouth. He put his hand at the back of Frank''s head and slowly moved his lips towards Frank''s


    ''Did William just kiss Frank?''


    Frank curled his lips and wrapped his arms around William''s waist.


    Mary could not tell how she felt in her heart. She wanted to escape from this damned ce


    immediately, but she could not move at all. She just stood there as if her feet were rooted to the


    ground. Even her eyes were painful. She just watched the two sweet people in the room without


    blinking.


    William and Frank just stood there, loving each other under the warm afternoon sunshine.


    Mary opened her mouth. She wanted tough and cry at the same time but she could not.
