"Mr. Moore, we don't have anything to do with each other anymore. I don't think you have to worry about my affairs, isn't that right?"
Lucille was not good at lying, and she was unable to blame this on anyone else.
"It doesn't matter? If you don't tell me who that man is, do you think I will just let this slide? You've cuckolded me, and you think we can forget about this?"
"Mr. Moore, I'm the one who betrayed you. If you have any dissatisfaction... I... You can sue me in court."
She had nothing. She had nothing left that she could give Franklin.
"Sue you? You're just a woman. What's the pleasure of that? Tell me who the man is. This is a matter of a man's dignity. It has nothing to do with you!" He growled.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. I can't tell you."
That was because there was no man at all.
However, Franklin could not stop thinking about it.
His chest was filled with anger and resentment that he had to vent out.
"You won't tell me? Do you think I won't find out if you don't tell me?" He snorted coldly on the other side of the phone, "It's Zoel, isn't it? I should have f*cking known it was him!"
"No..."
She had owed Zoel too much. She could not continue to get him involved in this mess any longer.
"It's not him? If it's not him, why is he doing so much for you, and why is he so kind to you? Do you think I would believe it when he helped you put on your seatbelt? Don't you have hands yourself? Don't you know how to wear a seatbelt by yourself?"
Facing Franklin's bombard of questions, Lucille's words were stuck in her throat.
She realized that she really hated the feeling of being misunderstood by him, but what could she do about it?
The moment she tried to kill herself and was rescued, she had planned to forget about him.
"Mr. Moore, you are invading my privacy. I know that you are always the one to cuckold others, and no one's ever been the one to do that to you... But things have already escalated to this point. If you can't accept it, I can't do anything about it either."
After she said that, she quickly hung up the phone.
When she hung up the phone, she realized that her vision was blurred.
She had clearly said words to hurt him, but she was still the first to shed tears.
How useless of her...
At first, Lucille thought that Franklin would call her back, but this time, he still did not.
He never called her back.
When Lucille realized that he did not call her, she then called Zoel.
The call was only answered after a long time.
"Hi."
It was a woman's voice.
At first, Lucille was taken aback. She thought that she had dialed the wrong number, but when she looked at the screen, it was indeed his number. She asked cautiously, "Hello, is this Zoel?"
Did he lose his phone?
"Oh..." The woman gave a long and meaningful hum before saying, "He went to the bathroom. Wait for a while." "Why don't I call him back later?"
Lucille felt a little embarrassed for disturbing his date, perhaps.
When she was about to hang up the phone, Zoel's voice came from the other side of the phone. "Megan, what is it?"
"Nothing. Someone called you. It's a woman."
The woman who answered the phone said.
The next second, Zoel's voice came from the phone, "Lucille, what is it?"
"Nothing... Am I disturbing you? I'm sorry." She apologized first.
"You're not disturbing me. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I asked Abby to change Franklin's paternity test report. He... He seems to be suspecting you. Although I've explained it to him, he doesn't believe me. I want to remind you of that to prevent..."
"It's fine. Let him come."
He said without hesitation.
"I'm sorry. I will think of a way to explain it to him."
