What was there to regret?
Regret not insisting on searching for the body or regret holding that yacht party, or perhaps… regret getting involved with his wife’s assistant?
Jade’s smile on her face became strained.
She had worked so hard to get where she was today, not to hear this man confess his “regrets.”
She gently hugged Nathaniel, her voice tender like water: “Nathaniel, I know you can’t let go of Sister Suzanne. It’s okay… I’ll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I don’t mind…”
A woman’s consolation is the best medicine for a man in his most vulnerable moments.
Nathaniel thought of Jade’s deep love and lack of regrets, her sacrifices and patience. He was moved, and wrapped his arms around her waist, his voice hoarse: “Jade, thank you for always being by my side…”
Jade didn’t say anything, but lifted her graceful neck, sealing the man’s remaining words with her soft, red lips.
She knew she was not as beautiful as Suzanne Saunders, nor as clever, but she was more gentle, and she understood men better.
A strong woman might arouse a man’s desire for conquest, but gentleness and thoughtfulness could win a man’s favor even more.
Nathaniel, holding the delicate body, quickly forgot his grief and regret of just a moment ago. All that remained was the present charming figure.
“What a scumbag.” Muttered Purple Summers in the distance, looking back at the scene and wishing she could stab her own eyes.
She must have been blind to have married such a scumbag!
Suddenly, everything went dark before her eyes.
Purple was startled, had she really gone blind?
Soon, she heard a man’s teasing voice in her ear: “Not suitable for children, stop watching.”
It was Alexander Summers again!
Purple felt like her life was overrun by scumbags, escaping one only to encounter another!
She pried his hands open and accused him: “You know I’m just a child? So why are you bullying me!”
Alexander laughed, “It’s precisely because you’re young that I haven’t really bullied you, Purple. In the future, big brother will take good care of you.”
Purple’s body shuddered violently, and she turned and ran to catch up with Atra Blanc.
Alexander was amused by her hurried, fleeing figure, he lengthened his stride and casually followed—
The small western-style building had changed dramatically.
Nearby flower beds had been leveled, and several unknown trees now stood in their place, still tied to stakes as they were newly transplanted.
Inside the small western-style building, the changes were even more drastic!
The wall behind the sofa used to have a few decorative paintings. Now, the entire wall had become a gigantic glass enclosure! The backdrop was a tropical rainforest, with a thick, gnarled dead branch inside. And on that branch, a spotted python was curled up resting!
Was this Cleo?!
That day, in Alexander’s dark room, she couldn’t see it clearly, only knowing it was huge. But now, she felt it was even bigger and thicker than she had imagined!
At least four meters long! The snake’s coiled body was round and thick, stunningly massive!
As Purple stared at the gigantic snake container, she was dumbfounded, wondering who would dare to sit here and watch TV with a boa constrictor behind them in the future?
Atra Blanc was obviously also very uncomfortable, sighing as she looked at the snake enclosure before turning to head to the kitchen.
“Cleo is very smart. Sometimes when I forget to feed her, she’ll come out and find food on her own.” As soon as Atra Blanc left, Alexander grew bolder, encircling Purple’s waist and whispering in her ear, teasing her.
Purple asked nervously, “Is the container lock useless?”
“She’s very strong and can’t be contained.” Alexander bent down, resting his chin intimately on her shoulder, speaking slowly, “But she’s lazy. Unless she’s extremely hungry, she won’t come out. That day, you just had bad luck.”
Just hearing Alexander talk about it left Purple weak in the knees, “Can’t you just feed her enough?”
“No.” Alexander chuckled, “She’s too big. We need to control her portions to slow her growth. Feeding her once a month is enough.”
Purple almost cried, so she would have to face the danger of the python’s escape every day?
