Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 38 The Reason

"Joey Gu." She called his name in his arms motionlessly, but her voice was even colder than the man's embrace.

Lois sneered, "do you know why I want to divorce you?"

She could feel that Joey's body was stiff. The lump in her throat rushed to the tear gland all of a sudden. She had promised herself not to sink anymore, but tears would still flow out.

She continued in a cold voice, "you don't know, do you know where your wedding ring is?"

Joey didn't say anything. Lois continued, "on April 20th, I saw Sally throw the wedding ring on your left hand into the trash can. From that day on, I knew that I couldn't trust you for the rest of my life!"

Joey tensed up, but he listened carefully to her cold voice out of habit.

"You probably don't know how much I have put up with you. You are domineering, selfish. Except for taking back the money from work and social activities, you have no sense of responsibility for this family, and even for your child!"

She said in a soft but more horrible tone, "how many times have you hugged her?"

Joey's trembling body made Lois feel happy. The happiness and pain intertwined, and the only thing that could vent her emotions was tears.

"I'm fed up with Maggie coming back home to ask that her father's relationship with a mistress, and your indifference to this family because of Sally. It doesn't matter if you ignore me or not, but you don't deserve to be a father. You are simply heartless!"

"Enough!" The husky and deep voice was tightened, like the strings of a Violoncello, almost breaking in the next second. Joey took a few steps back. He had never known that he was so rebellious?

Tears were still welling up from Lois's eyes. She looked at Joey, who took two steps back, and asked, "what? Are you afraid?"

She walked towards him and seemed to push him into an abyss. Do you want to hear that when I saw you and Sally drive away?

"You don't know how I felt at that time, do you? I can't feel my legs, nor can I feel my hands. I'm weak all over. There's only a heart that is almost torn apart. I can't control my body... "

"There is only one thought in my mind was to find the evidence that you are responsible for me, to find back the ring, to find out the motivation that can make this marriage go on. But where are you? You are displaying your affection with Sally! "

Joey looked at her in disbelief, his face turning pale.

He looked at the corner of Lois's mouth, desperate and sad. She opened her beautiful eyes, but big tears rolled down from her eyes. He suddenly remembered the story book he read when he was a child. It was called 'Tears from sharks'.

Raising her eyebrows, Lois looked at him with a sneer, "Joey Gu, do you think you have the right to say stop? We have been done! "

Joey felt a sharp pain all over his body. He seemed to feel that his hands and feet were out of control and his heart was empty.

Lois turned around and left.

Joey stood in the living room for a long time. Through the window, he saw that Lois's car turned on the headlights and left. It was not until Joey could no longer see the car light that he came to his senses.

Trembling, Joey went upstairs. The quarrel between Sally and Lois came to his mind from time to time

By the way, since Sally came back, Lois and him had no longer been intimate. Lois didn't even allow him to touch her.

From the dinner party to that day Maggie was sick, to that time because of a dress, he was so bad that he pushed her away again and again, farther and farther. Until now, he could no longer pull her back

Joey held the staircase upstairs, and the servant was still standing outside the door dutifully. Joey looked at the servant, and the servant felt that Joey was not in a good condition, as if he was not as cold as usual.

But she still reported dutifully, "Little Miss Maggie's temperature is normal. We have just measured it."

Without saying a word, Joey pushed the door open and entered the room.

He suddenly remembered what he had asked his father before, "why should I marry her! Just because she was suitable for this position? I have someone I like! "

He vaguely remembered his father's answer, "marrying a person who loves you is much happier than marrying a person who loves your money and power."

Was he happy? Happiness was only in the past. If he could sense it earlier, or if he didn't squander it, he would still be happy now

Joey looked at his daughter's sleeping face. He could stop socializing in the future, or leave the romantic world behind and not make her sad.

The daughter was Lois's, and also his. They were a whole family, a child, a wife and a husband.

Maggie was the daughter of him and Lois. Lois was his legitimate wife and the mother of his daughter.

With these factors unchanged, nothing could be considered to be sacrificed.

Late at night, when the servant took Maggie's temperature and was about to leave, she saw Joey sitting by the window with a faint bruise in his eyes.

Noticing the tentative look in her eyes, Joey looked up and asked, "how's Little Miss Maggie?"

The servant lowered her head in a hurry and said, "Little Miss Maggie has almost recovered, but..."

Joey's eyes turned cold, "get out!"

When the servant saw the coldness in Joey's eyes, her face shrank slightly. She bowed and left in a hurry.

Seeing the door slowly closed, Joey turned to look at Maggie's sleeping face. He stood up. A gust of cold wind blew outside the door, and he lowered he eyebrows. Now the family was even short of people to take care of him. Was this still a family?

He walked slowly to the bedside of Maggie. The little girl's face was still pale. Looking at her sleeping face, Joey kept like this for two hours.

He was thinking about how to win back Lois. He was wronged, but he had no way to explain.

It was indeed difficult to forget the messy things a few days ago, but as long as the relationship between him and Sally was completely revealed, and let Sally get married with someone as soon as possible.it would not be a big problem.

The servant came in again at three o'clock in the morning. At that time, Joey was holding his mobile phone, hesitating whether he should make a call or not. When the servant came in with a medical tray

in her hand, he turned off the mobile phone screen and watched the servant measure the temperature of Maggie.

The maid, who had always been expressionless, was shocked when she saw the result of the thermometer.

The frightened servant shook her hands and said, "call the doctor! Hurry up! Call the doctor! "

Joey squinted, "what?"

He had been depressed for a long time, which made him absent-minded and his tone a little sloppy.

"Forty Two degree! Little Miss Maggie's temperature suddenly rose! "

Joey was suddenly awakened by the reality which like nightmare, which made him restless. The phone in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He tried to distinguish reality from dream. When he was dizzy, he suddenly thought of the relationship between him and Lois.
