"I'm sorry, Loraine. I didn't think it through. Please go ahead if you have other things to do. I will hand it over to him personally," Kimberly said, smiling.
"I understand." Loraine spoke.
Loraine then left.
After that, Kimberly put the laptop back on the bed, and then went back to the dining table. When she was about to eat, the doorbell rang again.
When she was about to look through the peephole again, she received a message from Vera.
"Open the door. It's me." The message read.
"F**k, I heard the notification from your phone. Open the door and welcome me," Vera said.
Kimberly was speechless.
She took a look and found that Vera was really standing outside. She didn't expect that this girl was so...
Kimberly opened the door. When Vera saw her, she quickly stepped forward and squeezed into the room like it was her own place. "What are you doing? I've heard the notification sound from your phone. You took a few minutes to answer the door. You're afraid of me, aren't you?"
Kimberly gave her a helpless look and said, "What's wrong? Am I not allowed to move at my own pace?"
After Vera walked in and closed the door, she sighed, "Wow, this is a great place."
Vera came inside and couldn't help widening her eyes when she saw the table full of food. "Hey, you really know how to treat yourself... There's so much food to eat."
She was close with Kimberly, so she sat down unceremoniously and said, "I always thought you were alone in the hotel, so I wanted to take you out for breakfast. It seems that my worries were unnecessary."
Kimberly sat down in front of her. "Since you are here, let's eat together. Anyway, I can't finish all of this by myself."
"Of course, I'll give you a hand then." Vera picked up a pancake and took a bite. Then she asked with a smile, "It seems like you have adjusted your state well. You seemed very upset yesterday."
Hearing this, Kimberly remained silent for a few seconds and then replied, "What else can I do? I should have figured it out from the very beginning. It's my fault. I shouldn't get my hopes up for this marriage."
She lowered her eyes and took a sip of the soup.
Seeing her like this, Vera couldn't help sighing.
"That's not your fault. There are many things that can't be controlled, especially love. And you were married... so it's natural for you to like each other. Although now you are separated, I think... it's not necessarily a bad thing because the trust between you two is too little."
At this point, Vera stealthily looked at her again, bit her lower lip and hesitantly said, "Maybe you'll be able to get back together in a few years?"
A few years later...
Listening to her words, Kimberly couldn't help but smile. "We probably won't have another chance. Maddox doesn't like me. There are many women around him who want to be his wife and those women are much better than me. Maybe it won't take a few years. In a few days, there will be another woman by his side... I won't go back to him."
Vera didn't speak anymore. She ate the pancake and felt that it tasted bitter now.
The two of them finished the breakfast in silence.
Later, Vera sat there with her hands on her stomach satisfactorily. "Who prepared this for you? How come there was so much food? When I came here, I met an aunt going downstairs. She seemed to leave from your room. Was it her?"
"Yeah." Kimberly nodded and didn't say anything else.
