Chapter 557 Love


    "Oh, my sweet sweet Neo Boy, I know you love mommy the most."


    ra smiled. It seemed that Neo was the only person who cherished her now.


    And so did her brother, of course.


    Thinking that there were still people in this world who cared about her,


    ra''s mood brightened up a little bit.


    ra used to be so hooked on Horace. But now she figured that he was probably not the right person,


    so she wanted to give up on this unrequited love.


    Although it might be hard at first, it would be almost definite for her to let gopletely with time.


    ra waited all day for Horace toe home in the evening.


    Since Neo was there with her, ra forced a smile on her face and pretended there was nothing wrong


    between Horace and her.


    She didn''t want to ruin Neo''s childhood.


    "Honey, what are we having for dinner?"


    Horace asked as if nothing had happened. The way Horace addressed her grossed ra out.


    "He calls me ''honey'' now, but how many ''honeys'' does he have out there?"


    ra put on a bitter smile and shook her head disappointedly as she looked at Horace.


    Then, the three sat down at the dining table and started eating. Neo put all ra''s favorite food in her


    bowl.


    ra was surprised that Neo actually knew what her favorite dishes were.


    She felt a familiar warmth inside.


    Horace was just sitting there eating silently. When he saw the celery in ra''s bowl, he simply took the


    pieces of celery from her bowl and put them in his mouth.


    Neo red at Horace as he did that. "That is for mommy!"


    "Your mom doesn''t like celery,"


    Horace exined to Neo. Neo turned to ra.


    ra nodded helplessly. Horace was notpletely wrong.


    Indeed, she found the taste of celery revolting. But she had gotten used to it long ago. Celery wasn''t in


    season these days. They barely cook celery at home. It was only natural if Neo didn''t know that ra


    disliked celery.


    Horace shifted his gaze to ra, then smiled warmly at her. Although ra was mad at Horace, she


    still found him handsome from the bottom of her heart.


    "Wait. Do you still like him? What''s so likable about him? Control yourself!" ra thought.


    Then, she shook the thought out of her mind and continued to finish the food in her bowl.


    Horace was watching ra''s every move just now. He found her adorable and wanted to smile, but he


    held it back.


    Therefore, he just lowered his head and focused on the dinner.


    After being confined in the house for three days, ra finally took the chance and got out.


    She wanted to see what game Horace was ying and whether he was with Jocelyn Landry right now.


    If he wasn''t, she would carefully watch him in secret for a few days. If she caught them in a hotel room


    together, she would walk away from this rtionship without a look back.


    In fact, Horace was throwing ra off guard with his charm and consideration these days. She was


    suspicious of the words on the street anyway.


    And although newspapers were reporting that he was having an affair, the authenticity of the news was


    still up for debate. She knew she had to take it with a grain of salt.


    After all, some editors would exaggerate things and even twist the truth for views.


    Therefore, she wanted to see for herself.


    ra crept into thepany, and stopped at Horace''s office.


    She listened at the door for a moment, trying to detect a movement. However, nothing was heard.


    The door wasn''t locked, so when she eagerly leaned forward to get a better hearing, she directly fell


    into Horace''s office.


    ra looked at Horace, panicking.


    The fall did hurt ra a little bit.


    However, Horace didn''t seem surprised to see ra here. He walked to a cab, took out the first-aid


    kit, and started treating ra''s wound.


    ra''s leg was bleeding because due to the scratch. If not taken care of timely, it would leave a


    permanent scar.


    Horace helped ra sit on the couch and carefully lifted her leg.


    Then, he gently cleaned the wound with a disinfectant wipe.


    The sting shot up her leg like fire. She cringed a little. She wanted to run away but Horace was


    grabbing her leg.


    He just lowered his head, fixing his attention on taking care of her wound. ra stared at Horace''s


    profile and burst into tears.


    "He cheated on me. His heart now belongs to some other woman now. How can he still act like such a


    gentle and loving husband in front of me?"


    Tears streamed down ra''s cheeks as she thought.


    Only when the transparent fluid dripped down to her leg did Horace notice that ra was crying.


    Horace stopped what he was doing and gingerly wiped ra''s tears with his hand. After that, he put


    his finger, along with ra''s tears, into his mouth.


    ra was stunned by Horace''s action.


    Why did Horace do that? Why was he so gentle?


    Horace nced at her, smiled, and continued to handle the wound on her leg.


    He didn''t let go of ra''s leg until he patched up her wound with bandages.


    "What''s wrong?" Horace saw that there were still tears on ra''s face, so he reached out to wipe


    them.


    "Nothing."


    ra turned away, forcing herself to not look at him.


    In fact, ra already softened up a little bit when he was cleaning her wound for her earlier.


    She was befuddled by Horace''s mixed signals.


    She originally thought that if she saw him with Jocelyn Landry, she would end this rtionship


    resolutely.


    But the current situation left her at the fork of the road, not knowing which way to choose.


    "Do I try to maintain this rtionship, or do I give up on it? Did Horace really have an affair with


    Jocelyn?"


    ra still had a million questions in her mind that remained unanswered. She didn''t want to ask


    Horace for the answers because she was afraid that he would lie to her.


    "The door to your office is way too flimsy."


    ra''s cheeks were burning with embarrassment. She really regretted trying to eavesdrop on his

    conversation.


    "Your safety guards are also cking."


    No one tried to stop her when she sneaked in. She was eavesdropping at the door to the CEO''s office,


    yet no one even noticed her.


    ra was about to make fun of the lousy security in Horace''spany when Horace said something.


    Something that touched her. Something that made her fluster.


    "You think you can just walk into mypany if I''m not letting you?" It was definitely impossible for


    someone to eavesdrop at the door of the CEO''s office.


    "What do you mean?"


    The reason she could get in so easily was that Horace was letting her? Did that mean her sessfully


    escaping from the house was also in Horace''s n?


    Horace knew what ra was thinking just judging from her expression. He remained silent and just


    nodded at ra,


    letting her know that she got it right.


    "Then how do you know that I wille here after I got out of the house?"


    ra couldn''t figure it out.


    What if she didn''t head straight to thepany after she got out? How did Horace know for sure that


    she woulde here to... eavesdrop?
