Chapter 475 Sleepless Doubts

The thought that she had been kept in the dark, treated like a fool while someone mocked her behind her back, made Emery shake with anger.
At that moment, Emery wanted to storm into the bedroom, wake Raymond up, and confront him face-to- face.
But she had heard many other women say the same thing: acting on impulse or confronting someone directly rarely worked.
Either he would deny everything to the end, or he would admit it outright. And then what?
If he denied it, what could she really do? With just an earring and a lipstick mark, he could easily say they were picked up by accident or that someone had put them there as a joke.
But if he admitted it, then what?
Have a huge fight? And then get a divorce?
Emery had grown used to a comfortable life and being admired by others. Divorce wasn’t something she could accept so easily.
Yet she was also used to being spoiled. Asking her to swallow this anger in silence was just as impossible.
Suddenly, she remembered a strange message she had received before. It claimed that Raymond was keeping another woman in secret.
She had gone to check it out but found nothing. A false alarm.
Could this be another misunderstanding?
In the end, Emery decided to hire a private investigator to look into things properly. Deep down, she still hoped this was all a mistake.
Maybe the earring and the lipstick mark were planted on purpose. Maybe someone was trying to drive a wedge between her and Raymond.
After finding a reason that sounded reasonable enough, her heart finally calmed a little. She no longer felt so panicked or overwhelmed.
In her mind, she kept praying that everything was just a misunderstanding.
She composed herself and returned to the bedroom, lying down beside her husband.
The night was long. Emery didn’t sleep at all.
Before the weekend arrived, Amelia’s phone had already been bombarded with calls. Cora called. Then Whitney called.
Both of them were eager to invite her over as a guest.

Amelia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Somehow, she suddenly felt like everyone wanted a piece of her time.

In the end, she chose the safest middle option. She had them send little Floyd to the Curran Estate.
That way, she could visit Whitney herself and solve everything at once.
When Amelia arrived at the estate, she happened to see Whitney chatting happily with Floyd.
“Oh my, you’re so handsome,” Whitney said with a grin. “How can someone be this good-looking? It really makes me want to give you a kiss.”
She laughed and continued, “My troublemaker son was all chubby when he was little. He didn’t look half as cute as you do.”
Whitney looked at the little boy in front of her. He was smart, quiet, and very well-behaved. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
People said he was autistic, but in a medical sense, he didn’t seem that way at all. He was calm, polite, and easy to be around.
Whitney also loved good looks. She was definitely a looks person. When she saw someone adorable, her eyes naturally lit up.
Floyd was praised so much that his face turned red. His cheeks looked even softer and pinker.
He didn’t seem to dislike this lovely lady at all. He didn’t feel nervous or scared around her, not even a little.
“Huh?” Amelia said as she walked in. “Jeremy used to be chubby?”
She had just entered and immediately heard that. Her interest was sparked right away.
“Oh! Amelia, you’re here!” Whitney said excitedly.
She quickly pulled Amelia over, chirping happily like a little bird.
“Hahaha, yes! My silly son was so chubby before he turned three Come, I’ll show you!”
She excitedly rushed into her room and came back a moment later with several thick photo albums in her
arms.
Whitney opened one of them and said with a big smile, “Look at my silly boy. Doesn’t he look solid and heavy?”
Amelia leaned in and looked carefully.
Before the age of three, Jeremy really was much bigger than kids his age.
He was at least half a head taller than them and very sturdy.
Especially in the photos from before he turned one, he was so chubby it was hard to recognize him.
2/3
He looked like a spoiled young heir who had been very well taken care of.
