Evelyn checked her mail and saw all the pictures with timestamps. The latest one was dated the previous day and the earliest one was dated several years ago.
There were different locations and the only thing consistent about the photos were the faces of the main characters.
She didn't understand. If they were already together, why didn't he marry that woman? Why did he marry her and was with that woman behind her back?
She was strangely calm. She saved all the photos and sent them in bulk to uncle Xavier just in case. She wouldn't even bring these up and would just serve him the papers.
When he signed, there would be nothing binding them anymore.
On the other side, Nathan drove straight to Golden Crane—his friends bar and went to the private room upstairs.
The moment he arrived, Rhea threw herself into his arms.
"Nate, I missed you so much"
Sebastian Crane and Declan Wolfe who each had a woman in their arms laughed.
"Brother, you don't know, when you weren't here, sister-in-law didn't even want to interact with us and kept looking at the door waiting for you to come"
Calling a random woman sister-in-law while he had a wife at home. Just like him, Nathan's friends were no good.
Nathan held Rhea tightly and smiled as well. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Declan's words. It was right for Rhea to only interact with him. This was one of the reason why he liked her.
Unlike other women, she only had eyes for him and that deeply satisfied his vanity.
If he wasn't afraid of being entangled by Evelyn, he would never have married her. Not to mention it came with many benefits.
His hands roamed freely as he held Rhea, intoxicated by her responsiveness.He thought to himself that this was what a woman was supposed to be like. Not like that rigid thing at home that only knew how to lay flat.
At this point, he completely forgot that their first night was a disaster because he had no experience with inexperienced women and Evelyn was in a lot of pain causing her to develop PTSD. The fact that she could already bear until now was testament of her love for him.
Her lack of movement was simply her trying to make it feel less uncomfortable. But Nathan who was stuck in his head and cared about nothing but his own pleasure naturally did not notice this even after two years of marriage.
He even disliked for for not being proactive enough.
Grabbing Rhea's waist, he walked to an empty chair and sat down pulling her to sit directly on him.
Declan and Sebastian were used to this and calmly waited for the girls beside them to serve them.
The girls conscientiously poured wine and served them snacks to their mouth. One of the girls had her head lowered and would raise her eyes to give Declan a charming glance from time to time but was cursing them all in her heart.
This Nathan was married and always liked to play a devoted husband. Because of them, she believed true love was real. She was Declan's girl of the month and only had direct contact with them recently.
She felt like her three views had been overturned. She wasn't working in a very modest industry but she knew not to get involved with people who had partners.
She slid a disdainful gaze towards Rhea. This woman who liked to act like a gentle big sister and high society lady was actually nothing more than a mistress in private. She wondered what her fans would think when they found out their goddess was nothing more than a third party in someone's marriage.
Lili was careful not to let anyone notice her thoughts. After all, she wasn't from the same social class as them and could not afford to offend any of these people.
Last time when they met, she secretly planted a lipstick print on his shirt hoping his wife would get the message.
She cleared those thoughts from her head and focused on pouring wine for Declan. Based on his track record, her time would soon be up so she needed to make as much as could from him.
Declan watched Lili with more intensity than he realized. He usually got tired of women after a month and that earned him his reputation. He usually introduced these girls to his friends after two weeks of dating and then broke up two weeks later.
This was already his third week with her but he felt no boredom. It was like he wanted her even more. He had a feeling he would be reluctant to part in a week.
Thinking of this, his expression turned cold. He couldn't afford to have real feelings for anyone. He thought to himself that the reason why he felt this way was because she was different from the other women.
She didn't act sneakily or try to hypocritically hide her love for money. She would always ask for money whenever he asked if she wanted something.
But despite this, she had no greed in her eyes. She was content with receiving what he gave to her and never thought about what did not belong to her.
Declan felt like he had figured it out. He wasn't one to wrong himself. If he was still interested in her after a week, he would keep her. If the interest continued until he found a wife then she would be his mistress.
Thinking like this, he mood soared and he pulled her into his arms cupping her face for a kiss. She responded eagerly like she always did. Those women always liked to act innocent and sometimes it felt like he was forcing them but Lili wasn't like this.
She embraced her desires and responded to his with matching vigor. And that was why he found her so endearing.
His eyes darkened and he hastily bid farewell to bot men, pulling Lili with him.
Seeing his hasty appearance, Sebastian clicked his tongue and muttered.
"If I didn't know she'd been around for almost one month, I would've thought this was their first week of meeting. Don't you think so brother?"
He turned to the side but was met with the sight of Rhea who was almost undressed curled up in Nathan's arms. Seeing this, his expression shifted and he pulled the woman into his arms.
He vaguely felt that with the way things were going, Nathan might not make it home tonight. His wife would surely be sad. But before he could think more, the girl leaned into him and he forgot all thoughts about his friends wife.
