Chapter 10 Clues

Molly couldn't help but despise herself. 'How could I burst into tears just because of a breakfast?

I'm always too easily pleased.

Walter betrayed me, and the breakfast he prepared is just to make up for his mistake. But there is no way that would be enough.'

With all her might, she swore to herself that she would not spare him so easily this time.

Meanwhile, Walter had no way of knowing what she was thinking as he helped her sit down and handed her the breakfast he had made.

"My dear, I am so sorry. I want to finish eating breakfast with you. But I'm going to be late."

He held Molly's hand and looked at her with guilt.

He really wanted to keep his wife company, but there were many urgent matters waiting for him in the company.

"It doesn't matter, honey." As usual, Molly was very considerate.

Molly had a gentle smile, and her husband could read her true feelings.

Suddenly, Walter remembered something. He took out the phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to Molly. "Honey, I set the password of my phone to your birthday. Take a look."

As soon as he got up that morning, he changed the password and deleted every trace of his mistress on his phone, including their photos and chatting records.

Now, all records of their contact had been deleted completely, and all Molly saw was a clean cellphone.

The smile on her face widened.

'In order to conceal the truth, you destroyed the evidence so perfectly.'

She handed the phone back to her husband. Then, she said, "I trust you. I know you will not betray me."

She deliberately put an emphasis on the word "betray."

Walter thought she was being a little strange, but he didn't think about it too much.

After that, she walked him to the door and helped him adjust his tie carefully.

While fixing his tie, she proposed, "Honey, I miss Amy so much. We can't keep on having Mom take care of her. And you haven't played with her for a long time. Don't just focus on your work. Let's go to the amusement park with Amy next week, okay?"

Molly knew it was time for her daughter to come back.

'With Amy and the baby in my belly, Walter will change soon,' she thought optimistically.

Honestly, Walter also missed his daughter a lot. In order for Molly to have a good rest, they decided to send Amy to her grandma's home more than a week ago.

It had been a while since then, so how could they not miss their lovely daughter?

"You're right. I've been so busy. I rarely get to keep her company. I will call Mom and ask her to send Amy back home once I arrive at the company. She will come home the day after tomorrow, okay?"

Nodding her head, Molly got a hold of Walter's tie and leaned forward to plant a kiss on his lips.

It was a gentle kiss.

"Honey, I love you," she whispered in her husband's ear.

Hearing her words, Walter was surprised.

He understood that pregnant women were subject to change, but he felt like Molly had changed too much.

In hindsight, he liked how aggressive she was being.

Feeling reluctant to leave, Walter fondled the scattered strands of hair near Molly's ear and responded sweetly, "I love you, too. I love you so much."

'I love you too.'

Those words hit Molly's heart inadvertently, making her feel a dull pain.

For a few seconds, the smile on her face disappeared, but it didn't take long for her usual smile to appear again. "I see. Well, you need to go to work now," she said.

Not until Walter walked out of the house did Molly go back to the dining room.

She walked into the dining room, sat down at the table, and began to enjoy the breakfast that Walter had prepared for her.

But the moment she took a bite, she frowned.

Walter had forgotten to put sugar in it. And the taste was not the same as before.

She had thought that he would remember that she didn't like to eat sour food, but he didn't.

She looked at the food and sneered.

'Did Walter betray me because I forgot to add spice to our marriage?' she thought to herself.

She poured the remaining food into the trash can. Feeling a little tired, she decided to go upstairs and get some rest.

At noon, she received a call from Fiona.

"Are you okay?"

Fiona couldn't imagine how Molly had faced Walter last night like everything was normal, but she knew that Molly must be struggling in her heart.

However, Molly didn't really want to talk about it.

"It's hard. But this suffering will still last for a period of time. It will only end when that woman disappears," she told Fiona feebly.

Molly rubbed her temples testily. She felt like she was going crazy because of the mere fact that she couldn't find out who the mistress was.

"There must be a way for you to find out who she is. How about I introduce you to some private detectives? Give them some information. They might be able to help you to find out something."

Fiona was trying to think of ways to help Molly while the latter was peering at the clouds outside the window, completely distracted.

'They were in the hotel. Who could I ask to investigate them?

That paparazzo?

No! No way!

But who else saw the woman's face?" Molly was so lost in thought that she forgot that she was still on the phone.

"Hello? Hello? Molly, are you listening?"

On the other end of the line, Fiona was feeling a little anxious. Just then, an idea crossed Molly's mind. "The hotel!" she exclaimed.

Naturally, Fiona was confused by Molly's sudden outburst.

"Yeah, you saw them at the hotel. What are you trying to say, Molly?"

In Fiona's eyes, since Molly found out that Walter was cheating on her, she had been acting weirdly.

"Yes. The hotel! I got it! Fiona, I'll call you later."

After hanging up the phone, Molly hurriedly grabbed a coat from her closet and put it on. Then, she grabbed her purse and walked out of the room.

She took a taxi to the hotel, which she was very familiar with by now.

She entered the hall and called a receptionist. "I need to talk to your manager."

As she spoke, a man walked past her.

Without a second thought, she turned around and caught a glimpse of the man walking out of the gate.

'That's weird.

Why did that man's figure look a little familiar?' She couldn't help feeling quite strange.

Before Molly could think about it some more, the manager of the hotel arrived at the front desk.

"Mrs. Wu, what can I do for you?"

Naturally, since Walter and Molly were VIP guests of the hotel, the manager would never dare to neglect her.

Molly brought the manager to a corner, and with an embarrassed expression, she said, "I want to check the surveillance videos from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. yesterday. Is that okay?"

'The cameras must have recorded the face of the woman, right?'
