Chapter 38
The following day, Ang received a call from Beatrice.
“Angie” Beatrice said, “I’ve been invited by an old friend to spend the weekend at a resort. Are you
free? Do you want to join me! I heard there’s horseback riding and an amusement park there.”
Initially, Beatrice wasn’t been on going, but the idea of taking Ang along for some rxation
appealed to her. She thought it might also be an excellent opportunity to invite Keh and
perhaps mend their strained rtionship,
Ang, surprised, thought for a moment and realized she had no ns for the weekend, so she
agreed.
“Sounds great! Should I pick you up, or shall we meet directly at the resort?” Ang asked.
Ile to your vi to pick you up.” Beatrice replied.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ang said, “Actually, I’m currently staying at the vi in the
Northpoint
Beatrice frowned, “Are you and Keh living apart?”
Thinking about their current situation, Ang wasn’t sure how to exin it to Beatrice and vaguely
replied, “Not exactly. This ce is closer to mypany now, so I’m staying here”
“Nonsense! How can a married couple live apart! Now that Jennifer is back, what if she tries to
seduce him when you’re not around!”
Ang pressed her lips together and spoke softly. “Please don’t worry about it. We’ll handle it.”
“If you could really handle it, you wouldn’t be living apart. I’m going to call Keh. If he doesn’t
bring you back to Vista Vi soon, I won’t forgive
him!”
But…
Before Ang could finish her words, Beatrice had already hung up
When Ang tried calling back, it was clear Beatrice was already on the phone with Keh.
Ang sighed helplessly, put her phone aside, and began her morning routine.
As she was preparing to set off, she noticed several messages from Keh.
[Ang, what did you tell my grandma about Jennie!)
My grandma already has a bad impression of Jennie. You telling her about moving out has made
her threaten me. She says she won’t let Jennie off if I don’t bring you back to Vista Vi!]
What have you done to make my gra
my grandma take your side unconditionally! I told her you wanted to move o out, and she doesn’t
believe it!]
Realizing Keh’s messages defending Jennifer, Angels, expressionless, deleted the texts before
heading to work.
The weekend arrived quickly, and Ang got ready early, waiting for Beatrice.
She didn’t expect to see Keh’s car parked outside the vill. Hesitant, she finally opened the rear
door to get in.
“Sit in the front Keh said from the driver’s seat.
Ang nced at Keh and replied indifferently. “I sit in the back. I can chat with Grandma.
Eager to mend their rtionship, Beatrice quickly said. “Angle, my old friend will sit in the backter.
It might be crowded with three of us, so you better sit in the front”
Reluctantly, Ang moved to the passenger seat
She thought that if she had known Keh was also going, she would have declined Beatrice’s
invitation
Just as she got in, Keh suddenly leaned toward her.
Startled, Ang quickly dodged to the side, suddenly hitting her forehead against the window.
Frowning and on guard, she looked at Keh. “What are you doing?”

Keh replied coldly. “Tm helping you with the seatbelt”
“No need. Eve got it!”
After Ang fastened her seatbelt, Keh said nothing more, but his face grew colder.
Watching from behind, Beatrice was concerned, sensing that the discord between them was
severe.
Beatrice knew that even when they had conflicts in the past, Ang would never be so cold
towards Keh
They remained silent all the way to the entrance of the resort. Then Ang realized that Beatrice
mentioned meeting an old friend was a ruse.
Ang understood what Beatrice meant, but she realized that Beatrice’s hope for her to reconcile
with Keh was doomed.

She likened their marriage to a crumbling house on the verge of

“It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Ruby Hastings, smiling at Ang and Keh, said, “Feel free to enjoy yourselves. I’ve already
arranged your room, so you can rest at the hotel if you wish. I’ll take a walk with Beatrice first.
After they left, Keh looked at Ang. “Would you prefer to rest or look around?”
“Blest.”
Upon entering the hotel and learning that Ruby had booked only one room for them, Ang
frowned.
She handed her ID card to the receptionist. “Hello, could you please arrange another room for
me?”
As the receptionist was about to take the ID card, Keh snatched it from Ang’s hand.

Keh looked at her coldly. “Have you ever seen a married couple sleeping in separate rooms!”
With pressed lips and a stern voice, Ang said, “Keh, I don’t want to argue here. Give me my
ID card back before I lose my patience!
Keh ignored her and said to the receptionist, “Give me the room card”
Perhaps intimidated by Keh’s assertiveness, the receptionist hesitated before hurriedly fetching
the room card.

After getting the card, Keh reached out to grab Ang

Seeing even her ears turn red, Keh said gently. “If you had just followed me willingly earlier,
this wouldn’t have happened.”
Ang scoffed, “So you’re saying this is my fault?”
“That’s right.”
Ang was furious.
When they reached the elevator, Ang impatiently said, “Can you put me down now?”
Keh remained silent, waiting for the elevator with a stern face.
Ang frowned, about to speak, when the elevator doors opened.
The person inside looked at them, her expression turning extremely unpleasant.
