Charlie raised his hand and wiped the water droplets off his face with his long, slender hand. He was calm.
"If she hadn't left quickly, I would have splashed the water on her face!"
Grace threw the water cup to the ground and smashed it into pieces.
"Well, then let's talk here," Charlie said.
"Okay, you can begin now!"
Grace found the most comfortable position and leaned there.
The moonlight was bright, beaming down on her face through the tree. She waited quietly.
She was waiting for him to speak and tell her what he wanted.
Yet she felt that what he was talking about would probably not be what she wanted to hear.
"Remember it? I once told you..." Finally, Charlie spoke evenly.
Hearing this, Grace said with a sneer.
"You told me many things. I don't know which one you are referring to. Besides, I don't have such a good memory!"
"I once said..."
Charlie paused for a moment.
"I respect marriage, but if I fall in love with others, I won't cheat on you or hide it from you. You won’t be the last one to know it."
Grace's beautiful almond eyes narrowed slightly. She stared at him. "Go on!" "Although you saw me hug her just now, I didn't do anything else to her. I respect you and our marriage."
Charlie said very slowly.
