After work, Monica was taken by Roland to see a customer, and she did not go home until 11 o'clock. Although Roland was a bit drunken, he still insisted on sending her off.
He ordered a designated driver of the hotel to take Monica home, and then left. Monica also drank a bit and felt a little dizzy. Watching Roland's car leave, she turned to go upstairs. The corridor was dark and the streetlights were long broken. She had just set foot on the old stairs when a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed her.
Monica was shocked. She opened her mouth and wanted to call for help, but a hand covered her lips in time.
Even though she was a bit drunk, the familiar scent still made her instantly know the identity of the person who had caught her. "Quarmy, let me go!"
Quarmy had been waiting for her for a few hours, and he was already filled with anger. When he saw that Monica was sent back by Roland, he was even more furious.
In the few hours he had been waiting in the car, he had already turned on the computer and saw everything on the Internet. It was all caused by Monica's blind date. If she hadn't been to the d*mn blind date program, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
It was ridiculous. He actually became a jerk. In their marriage, he knew that his mother was really tough on her and he felt really sorry for her. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be so wronged.
His mother was that sort of old-fashioned person. Even though her words were harsh, she wasn't bad to the extreme.
His father had died early, and it was not easy for his mother to raise him and manage the company. He was her only son and had to be filial. When she knew that Monica could not give birth, she was very disappointed. He knew that Jenny mistreated Monica, so he felt sorry for Monica. However, he had to respect Jenny because she was his mother. He couldn't choose between love and affection, so he could only be put in a dilemma.
But there was no way for him to abandon his mother. If he could abandon his own mother, was he still a human being?
