The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

100: No Woman to Keep Me Warm at Night

Mo Li decided to give Byron a call after she was done crying.

While waiting for her husband to pick her up, Mo Li rehearsed in her head what she was going to tell him. However, she was still struggling to decide if she should come clean with him or not.

She did not wish to deceive him, but at the same time, she did not want to say anything to hurt him either. After all, he was the best husband she could ever ask for.

She had to face it sooner or later, anyway.

She stopped pondering about the matter as soon as his car pulled up before her.

Upon the sight of him alighting from the car, Mo Li stood up and walked towards Byron.

“Hey, Hubby.”

“Get in, we’ll talk about the rest inside the car,” he said as he got into the car while holding her hand in his.

Byron did not question Mo Li about the identity of the person who had abducted her the night before. Having lived for 40 years, he was aware of the vast possibilities of what could have possibly happened. Needless to say, he had already known the answer, more or less.

Despite being extremely well-tempered, the incident that occured the night before had greatly triggered him.

“Did you get injured?”

“No,” she answered, shaking her head.

“I’m sorry, I won’t bring you to such parties late at night ever again. It was all my fault,” he apologized, embracing her in his arms with his forehead pressed against hers.

Mo Li began to feel even more guilty. How could he put the blame on himself for this matter? she thought.

Mo Li was more than grateful for the fact that he had not questioned her or forced her to speak up about the truth. Yet, Byron’s magnanimity and unwavering concern, despite knowing what had happened, had caused her to feel even more undeserving of him. After all that had happened, she was indeed incredibly blessed to still be able to remain as his wife.

“I should be the one apologizing. It was trouble I had created for myself.”

Her emotions had begun to overwhelm her yet again. He did not ask her for the details of what happened between her and Ye Xiaotian the night before, neither did she tell him about it out of her own accord. However, she knew clearly that he was well aware of it.

Byron remained silent, keeping his thoughts to himself.

They arrived home peacefully.

Byron accompanied her for a while before leaving the house again.

Mo Li waited until he had left before she looked her mother up.

Upon hearing about what had happened the night before, Mo Li’s mother was sent into a great shock. She then hurried out to buy some contraceptive pills for Mo Li, like the latter had requested.

Ignoring her mother’s advice, Mo Li popped twice of the recommended dosage in her mouth, all in one go.

“You’re going to ruin your health by doing that. It’s going to cause your hormones to shift out of balance.”

“I’ll be fine, Mother. I’m going in to get some rest.”

“Alright,” said Mrs. Mo as she turned around and wiped the tears off her face.
