Alex looks at the strange number and subconsciously answers the phone, but there is a male voice.
He doesn’t answer.
“Honey, why don’t you answer? Don’t you like the name? I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you
so much. My brother misses you, too”
It’s disgusting. Alex doesn’t know that pure Susan has such a friend. Of course he can understand
these words.
But it’s her freedom. The man goes on talking a lot. Alex listens to the useless information and chooses
to hang up.
He calls Randy and gives him the number to check.
Then he drives to the beach.
He already knows that the coffee shop is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. It’s about seven now. He can look
at Miya out of the window.
It happens that Lisa is here today.
After working here for a week or two, Miya doesn’t expect such a familiar guest to come.
“Miya, why are you here? Does your husband let you work? He’s too bold.” Lisa can’t help making fun
of Miya as soon as she sees her.
She pretends to have just come back from a trip and doesn’t know anything. She won’t tell Miya that
she is sent by Alex.
“Your husband?” Michelle hears her voice and comes over. She looks at Miya and asks, “isn’t your
husband dead?”
“What?” Lisa can’t believe what she hears.
What did the couple go through? Why do they both say the other is dead? It will be fun if the curses
come true.
It’s very embarrassing. Miya swallows and wants to explain, but Michelle says.
“Are you her friend? Don’t you know? His husband was caught by his aunt and uncle’s creditors and
never came back. She’s pathetic.” Michelle can’t help sighing, but she sees Miya and apologizes, “I’m
sorry.” She speaks softly.
“Waitress...”
It happens that someone needs to order. Michelle has Miya and Lisa sit and talk and she goes to work.
As soon as Michelle leaves, Lisa approaches and asks, “what’s going on?”
“What?” Miya pretends that she doesn’t know anything.
“Why don’t I know Alex is dead?”
As soon as Lisa says it, Miya covers her mouth. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Lisa glances at Miya. “OK, only you can curse your husband.”
“I don’t want to curse him.” Miya is a little embarrassed. She approaches Lisa and says, “I’m a widow
with a dead husband and cursed by her family.”
“…” Lisa digests Miya’s words with difficulty. She holds out her thumb. “You are a talent!”
Lisa regrets that she didn’t record it, otherwise Alex’s expression will please Lisa when Alex listens to it.
He is cursed by his own wife. He may be sad.
Miya herself feels quite speechless. She made up the story by accident. “I hope you can keep it secret
for me. No matter who you meet when you go out, don’t say you have seen me.”
“Why?” Lisa asks.
“Because...” Miya really doesn’t want to say she’s dead. “Help me anyway.”
“Yes! Do her a favor. A group of gangsters broke into our shop the other day. If Miya hadn’t been
hiding, she would have been captured by them.” Michelle sighs, “her uncle and aunt gambled and
dragged their family down. They are so irresponsible.”
Michelle sighs for Miya, and Lisa is stunned. She covers her lips with her hands and asks Miya, “this
handsome guy looks normal. Why is he so nagging?”
Hearing Lisa’s words, Miya bursts into laughter.
Lisa is confused. “What are you laughing at?”
“Michelle, introduce yourself.”
Michelle knows she is misunderstood again. So she stands in front of Lisa and says, “my name is
Michelle. I’m a girl and I like boys.”
“What?” Lisa swears Michelle is the most handsome girl she’s ever met, but... “Why don’t you like
girls?”
“…” This is the first time someone has asked her this question, “because I have never met a girl like
you.”
Michelle looks up and gives Lisa a soulful look. Lisa has goose bumps.
She bursts out laughing.
“I’m kidding. Do you think I’m a boy because of my short hair?” Michelle touches her head. She still has
a few pricking hairs on the back of her head, even though it’s a month since the day of the haircut.
Lisa nods. “Why do you have such short hair as a girl? Some people like short hair, but I feel like you
prefer long hair like Miya’s.”
Michelle listens to Lisa and almost cries, “Yeah! I still like long hair. I fell out of love! Many people say
that if I cut my hair, I will feel better and may meet a handsome man. I just wanted to try before, but I
met a lot of girls. In fact, I’m embarrassed.”
So Michelle is embarrassed, but Lisa and Miya are in a better mood.
Alex sees them laughing and is relieved.
He wants to find a chance to show up in front of Miya. It’s been so many days that he and the children
miss her.
“If you have a good time, remember to go home!”
Alex can’t help complaining, but he accidentally pushes the button.
It is dark all around. His light suddenly lights up the area. It is very striking. He seems to see Miya
coming out to watch. He is flustered.
But Lisa has no idea Alex is in the car.
She laughs loudly, “which fool drove to the beach and turned on the light? I remember there were
police here at night. Miya, Michelle, let’s go out and watch.”
