Chapter 29
Mira didn’t want to do that. But there was a guest, so Mira had to listen to Taryn.
Zackary finally saw Mira. He didn’t expect her to be so young. Mira seemed to be about eighteen years old, wearing a cute white top and orange–checked pants. Her black hair fell on her shoulders. Mira’s skin was as fair as mild, her eyes were round, her eyelashes were as thick and long as feather brushes, and her little baby face was ruddy. Mira wasn’t wearing lipstick, but her lips looked pink.
Zackary was surprised.
He thought, “She is so adorable and pretty.
“And she looks so young.
“Hugh said she was arrogant.
“That can’t be true.
“Sylvia must have bullied her.
“It’s Hugh’s fault. He defends his sister–in–law because he doesn’t like his wife.
“But he should be nicer to his wife than to his sister–in–law.”
“Mira, this is Hugh’s friend, Zackary,” Brenden introduced.
“Hi.” Mira nodded at Zackary. “Zackary, can you help me? I can’t take Hugh upstairs by myself.”
“Okay. No problem.”
Zackary was happy to help Mira. Mira was a tiny little girl. Hugh was too strong for her.
Zackary helped Hugh into the master bedroom.
But when he came in, he was dumbfounded.
Zackary had come to Hugh’s bedroom before. But now, the big bed had no blanket or sheet on it.
Zackary looked around and found some bedding on the floor several meters away from the bed. He remembered they were Hugh’s sheet and quilt.
“Mira, do you and Hugh sleep on the floor?” Zackary asked stutteringly.
“No. I sleep on the floor. You can put him on the bed.” Mira waved her hand calmly
Zackary was shocked. “But there is nothing on the bed.”
“So what?” Mira looked cool. Anyway, Hugh never respected her, so Mira didn’t bother to pretend to be a good wife.
Zackary was in confusion.
He wondered, “Is she really Hugh’s wife?
“Now I can understand why Hugh said she was arrogant.
“But did Hugh lie when he said that she listened to him?”
Zackary was a little unhappy. “Aren’t you worried that Hugh may catch a cold? Since you married Hugh, you should be a good wife”
“Didn’t he tell you that we would get a divorce? So, why should I care
about him?” Mira yawned. She was sleepy. “Fine. I’ll give him a quilt Can you leave now? I want to go to bed.”
Zackary was speechless.
He left the Leopold’s house in shock.
Later. Chad sent a text in the group chat, asking Zackary, “Where is the picture?”
“I forgot.”
“You are so dead.”
“I really forgot. I was shocked by Hugh’s wife. Chad, you don’t understand. Hugh’s life is a tragedy
“What are you talking about?”
“When I left, Hugh slept on the bed with no bedding, not even a sheet.”
“What?”
“Hugh’s wife is so heartless and bold. I’ll never forget how poor Hugh looked when he shrank on the cold bed. I think I know why Hugh drank so much tonight. How pathetic”
“I feel sorry for him.”
Mira didn’t feel sorry for Hugh. Before she went to bed, she kindly found a coat in the closet and threw it onto Hugh.
Mira thought what she did was kind enough
As for taking off the shoes for Hugh and helping him wash up?
No way.
