“I don’t like them. I like nobody but you. Honey, why do you believe in Tianye Mu, but not me?” Kerry
said. Kerry felt deeply hurt.
“Because he is my brother and I’ve known him for 25 years. He does everything for my own good. But I
have known you for only two years, and we have only been together for more than half a year. Who do
you think I will trust?” Venus said calmly.
Kerry’s heart was broken. It turned out that his position in her heart is so low.
His anger, which he had kept quiet all night, finally bridled up. He got up from the ground and said
coldly, “You think Tianye does everything right. What about me? Venus, I am your husband. I have
done so many things for you. All what else I can do is to show you my heart. Am I no better than his
lie?”
Venus looked up at Kerry with unusual coldness and said, “Kerry, you do everything voluntarily. I don’t
ask you to do that all.”
“Yes, I do everything voluntarily. I just stew in my own juice.” Kerry said.
Venus felt a sting in her heart when she saw Kerry’s angry facial expression. “I don’t want to see you
now. Just get out of the room.” Venus said.
On the spur of the moment, Kerry lost all sense of reason and said, “I will leave now.”
Then Kerry strode away.
Bang! The door was slammed shut. The loud noise made Venus feel even sadder.
Kerry fretfully went to the third-floor study and locked himself in.
Downstairs, Pingan lay in the arms of John. “Grandfather, mom and dad quarrel so fiercely.” Pingan
mumbled.
John knows about Kerry’s bad temper. He sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t be afraid. They will make
up.”
“If they get a divorce, I am going to live with mom.” Pingan said suddenly.
John was taken aback. “Who tell you quarrel means divorce?” John asked.
“I got it from TV.” Pingan said.
“Everything on TV is nonsense. Your parents won’t get a divorce.” John said with absolute certainty.
They hadn’t divorced when they had such a bad relationship before, and now is even more unlikely that
they will.
“Even if Venus said something outrageous, she is pregnant. How could Kerry argue with a pregnant
woman? He is so naïve.” John thought.
In the study, Kerry gradually calmed down and realized what he had just said and done.
“Am I mentally retarded because of my last drowning? Why did I say that to Venus? Why I slammed the
door and left? I’m so stupid. Didn’t I go to apologize to her? How did it come to this?” Kerry thought.
Kerry covered his face with his hands. He was very remorseful. “What should I do? Venus had been
angry with me. She might be angrier for what I did just now. Should I go to apologize to her now? But
now she must still be angry that she won’t listen to anything I say. I’d better wait until she cools off
before I apologize to her. I will just stand there still if she wants to scold me and hit me.” Kerry thought.
But Kerry didn’t know that when a woman and a man quarrel, it is the man who has to admit his
mistake first. When the woman calms down, even the slightest trouble will become a big one.
At about ten o’clock in the evening, Kerry gathered all his courage and walked silently to the bedroom.
There’s no light on in the room. The bright moonlight streamed in through the window.
Pingan was not in the room. After mush persuasion by John, Pingan agreed to sleep in his own room.
John wanted to create an opportunity for Kerry.
Venus slept on her side with her eyes closed on the bed. Kerry walked closer to the bed and saw
Venus’s red eyelids from crying.
Kerry’s heart gave a sharp pain. He wanted to touch Venus’s white face, but he was afraid to awake
her.
It’s very hot, and because Venus’s pregnant, she couldn’t turn on the air conditioner, so at night she
kept the window open and covered herself with a thin summer blanket.
Kerry lay flat on the bed for a while and then gently rolled over, facing her back.
Venus’s curves are mellow. Although she is pregnant, her belly is not very big, so her waist is still very
slim. Her long hair lay loose on the pillow.
Kerry remembered that a few days ago, Venus said that it’s very difficult to wash her long hair. Besides,
she often loses hair as she is pregnant. Therefore, she wanted to cut it short. Kerry said voluntarily that
he would help her wash her hair, and he did put that into practice. Looking back on it, Kerry felt he’s
selfish. Because the reason he didn’t let Venus have her hair cut is because he thinks she looks good
with it, and he doesn’t think about how Venus feels.
They were not far apart, but Kerry didn’t have the courage to go any closer.
What Venus said was right. Kerry had done so much for Venus of his own accord. And Venus suffered
a lot after being with him. She almost lost her life.
Venus would have lived a happy life if he hadn’t tried so hard to keep her around. Instead of living in
fear, she may now be a rising star in fashion design.
It’s he who bound Venus’s soaring wings. How could he have a quarrel with her?
He had secretly vowed to make her the happiest woman in the world, but what had he done?
Kerry reached out and twined a long strand of her hair between his fingers. “Honey, I’m sorry.” Kerry
said with full regrets.
Unfortunately, Venus fell asleep and she didn’t hear the apology.
That night, Kerry though back to many things, either good and bad. He felt more sorry for Venus and he
didn’t fall asleep until after midnight.
When Kerry woke up the next day, Venus was still asleep. Not wanting to disturb her, Kerry got up
quietly and went to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
Kerry had intended to make a sincere apology after Venus got up, but before he finished his meal,
secretary Liu called to remain him that he had an important meeting to attend at 9 a.m..
Kerry took a look at the watch and found it’s already twenty past eight. Kerry came back to the
bedroom and squatted beside the bed staring at Venus’s face. He was about to kiss her forehead
secretly when Venus turned her back to him with her eyes closed.
Kerry froze where he was. Venus woke up, but she didn’t want to see him.
