"I have my own career. What's more, the Xi's Group is on the upgrade. It's understandable that I'm busy with my work. Since when has she become so sensitive and suspicious?"
Seeing that Nacho did not speak, Cedric's face darkened and his voice was a little impatient.
"Are you really busy with work?" Nacho didn't know why Cedric suddenly turned to be so strange. In the past, he cared about his family. But... he had become so irresponsible that Nacho couldn't see him through for no reason.
"What's wrong? Are you suspecting me too?" Cedric stood up with unhappy and furious eyes.
"Mignon and Joanna saw what you were doing today."
"What did they see?" Cedric shrugged indifferently.
"You were holding a young woman in your arms and buying jewelry in the store. I don't think you bought it for Joanna."
Nacho said in a sharp tone.
Nacho thought that Cedric would definitely panic when he heard this. However, Cedric sneered and said coldly, "Isn't it normal for a man to have a mistress? I like her young body and she needs my money. We just take what we need. I won't divorce Joanna for her. Why is Joanna unsatisfied?"
Hearing what Cedric said, Nacho suspected that the person in front of him was not Cedric, but someone else who pretended to be him.
"Cedric, do you know what you are doing? Do you want to betray your marriage with Joanna now?" Nacho slammed the glass on the table with a loud sound. He got up with a straight face and grabbed Cedric's clothes, saying with brutal and grim eyes.
"Betray? Joanna is still my wife. Besides, I have my own needs. I need to manage such a big company and I have so much pressure! I need to release my pressure by sex. Joanna is no longer young, and she couldn't make me satisfied while bedtime, but young girls are different. They are sexy and young. That kind of feeling..."
Crack! Before Cedric could finish his words, the sound of the cup breaking came from the stairs.
This sound attracted the attention of Nacho and Cedric.
Both of them looked at the stairs and saw Joanna, whose face was pale and eyes were weak.
Joanna squatted down slowly and picked up the pieces. Her fingers were cut and bleeding, but she did not care.
"Joanna, are you hurt?" Mignon ran downstairs, grabbed Joanna's hand and asked nervously.
Joanna shook her head at Mignon with no expression in her face and sneered. Then she looked at Cedric with stubborn but sharp eyes .
"So, you can't feel any passion on me anymore, right?" Joanna pushed away Mignon's hand and staggered toward Cedric. Cedric's face tightened, and there was no expression in his apathetic and ruthless eyes.
He didn't care about Joanna as he used to do. He was horribly indifferent.
Looking at Cedric who was handsome and even charming, Joanna was completely heartbroken.
Her eyes glistened with tears, but she was so stubborn and didn't shed tears at the moment.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and said with apathy, "I see."
After that, she turned around and went upstairs.
She was so calm that Mignon and Nacho were a little worried about her.
Looking at Joanna's back, Mignon's face was full of sorrow. She turned around and looked at Cedric, who was standing upright in the living room. She said to him with rage, "Cedric, you've gone too far. I didn't expect you to be such a shameless person. You really... let me down."
Mignon thought that the love between Cedric and Joanna was stable and happy, but her thought seemed to be extremely ironic at the moment.
In the past, Mignon even thought that every man would cheat, except for the men in the Xis. She thought that Cedric and Nacho would never cheat on Joanna and her, because their parents loved each other so much. Cedric used to love Joanna and could give up everything for her, how could he cheat on Joanna?
However, what happened was beyond everyone's expectation. After a few years of boring marriage life, Cedric felt that the body of a young woman was more attractive to him. He was no longer the responsible man he used to be.
"I'm very disappointed in you." Nacho said these words coldly and left the living room with Mignon in his arms.
The noisy living room instantly fell into a dead silence. Cedric remained his posture and did not move.
The dull light fell on his body, making him look indescribably lonely.
He slowly raised his head and smiled with apathy and sarcasm. He lifted his hands and covered his eyes as he raised his head high, as if only in this way could his tears not run out of his eyes.
The night outside the window was dark and mysterious, while Cedric stood still like a sculpture.
The marriage of Joanna and Cedric fell into crisis. The media got some news and reported it on the newspaper. Some reporters even took the pictures of Cedric holding a young and beautiful woman in his arms and going in and out of the high-end hotel.
All of a sudden, the marriage between Joanna and Cedric was in great peril. The atmosphere in the Xis became tense and nervous.
The servants in the Xis were all fearful. They were afraid that they would do something wrong and cause a quarrel in the family.
Even Kerr could sensitively feel that his parents were not on speaking terms. Kerr even asked Mignon if his parents had quarreled with each other. Looking at Kerr's clear
eyes, Mignon didn't know how to answer him.
"Your mom and dad just have some small problems. Kerr, you must listen to the teacher's words obediently these days. Don't be naughty, understand?"
"Okay." Mignon thought Joanna would refuse her, but she agreed.
Mignon let out a sigh of relief. She told Joanna that she wanted to see Chester before going to the beauty salon with her.
An hour later, when Mignon was ready and was about to go to the beauty salon with Joanna, she saw Joanna sitting on the sofa in the living room and holding a newspaper in her hand. She was looking at the newspaper with no expression in her face.
Looking at the newspaper in Joanna's
hand, Mignon suddenly became very nervous.
The newspaper was about the love affair of Cedric and those women. Recently, all the newspapers were reporting the news of Cedric and his mistresses. All the pages were full of news about Cedric, so it was difficult not to pay attention to it.
"Joanna... Let's go." With her fingers
trembling, Mignon took away the newspaper in Joanna's hand and said awkwardly.
Joanna raised her head and glanced at Mignon. Then she said with her eyes full of sadness and sarcasm, "Mignon, you don't have to be so nervous. In other words, you don't need to sympathize with me like this."
"Joanna.." Joanna's words made Mignon feel doleful in her heart for no reason. Her voice was slightly hoarse.
"I'm fine." Ever since Joanna heard what Cedric said that night, her expression had been abnormally calm.
Mignon thought that Joanna would not be able to bear it, but she was unexpectedly peaceful.
It was because of Joanna's calmness that Mignon felt more worried and sorrowful.
She didn't know how to comfort Joanna.
"Let's go." Joanna looked at Mignon with no emotion and then walked forward.
Mignon followed Joanna and found that the expression on Joanna's face didn't change too much. Although Mignon was concerned about Joanna, she could only keep silent when she saw Joanna like this.
They spent two hours in the beauty salon and left the beauty salon for coffee at half past four in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, just as Mignon was telling Joanna a joke, a very sexy and beautiful woman walked toward them.
This woman was a new young model, Queena.
Mignon once saw Queena in the newspaper, because it was said that Queena was Cedric's new lover.
