Time went by. For Zena, every second appeared like a year in length.
Zena looked at Andrew's yellow and black teeth, his ferocious and excited expression, and she could feel the stink in his mouth, and the disgusting smell of his sweat...
Zena grabbed the pillow with both hands with more and more strength, and she could only endure her helplessness and pain.
She was having a hard time! Why did time go by so slowly? She really couldn't stand it anymore.
However, why hadn't Andrew stopped?
Finally, Andrew let go of her. Zena could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
At the moment Andrew got up from her, she grabbed his wrist in a hurry, "Don't forget what you promised me."
Andrew glanced at Zena, "Let's talk about it when I put on my clothes, okay?"
Zena didn't say anything. She felt very uncomfortable and painful, but she didn't have time to rest. She sat up quickly and put on her clothes again. Then, she ran to Andrew and waited for his reply.
"Stay here for a while. I'll go out and make a call." Andrew said casually as he buttoned up his shirt.
"Why can't you make a call here?" Zena said directly, "Anyway, you do that for me."
"I'm so busy. Why are you so sure that I'll talk about something about you?"
Zena thought for a while and had to compromise first, "How long will it take?"
"Anyway, I'll come back when I hang up." After that, Andrew grabbed the phone aside, "As for your affairs, we'll talk about it when I come back."
Elizabeth finished her dinner slowly. After she rested for a while, Auntie Chang handed the peeled fruits to her.
Seeing this, Lydia immediately took the fruits and handed them to Elizabeth in person, "Elizabeth, com on. Eat some fruits after the meal for vitamin supplementation. Moreover, eating fruits is good for the skin of baby."
After that, Lydia handed her a piece of apple, "Apple is one of the healthiest fruits." As she said this, she suddenly thought of James who had been silent in the corner. Then she squinted her eyes and smiled, "This apple is peeled by Auntie Chang. Look, it's very beautiful, unlike the gourd- shaped apple peeled by Jimmy."
Elizabeth was supposed to reach out to take the apple in Lydia's hand, but her hand paused when she heard this. Then, she smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to do.
It had been quite a long while after dinner. Although James didn't speak much, it seemed that he had almost forgotten what had happened before dinner.
But... Lydia talked about this topic again...
She glanced at James. Sure enough, his face darkened to the extreme. There was anger in his eyes, and he knitted his eyebrows tightly.
"Mom, what do you mean?" James endured for a while, but he couldn't help but ask in anger.
Lydia turned around and glanced at James, laughing happily, "Nothing. Didn't I just tell the truth?" Saying this, she snorted at James, "Why do you look so mad? Are you unhappy?"
