Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 33

Harrison's words immediately silenced me.

In my opinion, the rules are for everyone. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

But he told me that rich and powerful people didn't have to follow the rules.

I've been a rule follower since I was a kid. In my eyes, marriage is also a rule. That's why I'd never betray my husband. But what happened to me? My husband's betrayal.

"A lot of people break the rules where you can't see them." Harrison says slowly.

I shrug and look at him indifferently. "I don't care. I just want to live a simple and peaceful life."

"So Callen's betrayal is a part of your so-called simple and peaceful life?"

His words raise my head.

I don't know why he mentioned Callen again.

It makes me feel like he's invading my privacy.

Maybe it's not a big deal to him, but it's a scar on my heart.

I put down the knife, calm myself down, and say, "There are many reasons for his betrayal. You're not me, so please don't judge my life."

"You're never gonna move on until you face it," he says slowly. "You could have called the police, but you chose to argue with Maisy. Does that make you feel better?"

He's right. Maisy lost, but I also hurt myself by exposing my miserable experience to the sun.

If I had called the police as soon as I saw her, she wouldn't have had a chance to smear me in front of my neighbors. I knew the consequences of arguing with her, but I did it anyway.

Because I wanted her to be punished as a home wrecker.

Harrison's right, but I hate that he's right. "How can you understand my feelings if you're not me? Maisy deserves to be punished."

"I don't think I did anything wrong. If you were me, you'd gone farther than me!"

After I said that, I suddenly want to laugh. Why would I tell him that? With the way he treats me, maybe he and Callen are the same. In a worse case, he may have a wife and I'm the other woman.

Life really sucks. I can't imagine how much worse it could be.

I ask him directly, "Harrison, do you have a girlfriend or a wife?"

"What do you think?" He wipes his mouth with a tissue, slightly raising the corner of his mouth.

I sneer at the bottom of my heart. A man never gives a woman a clear answer.

I wanted to ask more, but I didn't. From the moment I took his black card, I lost the chance to be his equal. I don't regret it, but I really want to know why he's been helping me for no reason.

If I could go back in time, would I have done the same thing? Yes, because it's the only way I can stay alive.
