Chapter 3: A Temporary Stay

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mary’s heart was beating wildly, but when she thought of the phone call just now, she could not help but feel a little down. “I’m sorry, Belland. I need to make dinner now. We’ll talk about it later.”

Mary walked out of the room in a fluster.

Looking at Mary’s beautiful figure, a hint of reluctance flashed in Belland’s eyes. He began to worry about his wife because she seemed to have something weighing on her mind.

Belland entered the kitchen with a cup of tea in his hand. He reached out to wrap his arm around his wife’s waist. “Dear, what’s troubling you?”

Mary took the cup of tea from Belland. The man had already put on his clothes. His eyes were no longer as fiery and wild as before. He looked gentle and elegant, like the tea in a cup, refreshingly simple but refined.

It made people subconsciously want to believe him and tell him.

“It’s Jack. It’s his birthday tomorrow. We might have to go over to Jack’s house,” Mary said in a low voice, carefully looking at Belland’s face.

After all, the arrogant attitude of Uncle Jack’s family did not make Belland happy the last time they met.

“That rich Uncle Jack’s house?” Contrary to Mary’s expectations, Belland’s face was calm, without any hint of dissatisfaction.

Mary nodded helplessly, “When I was growing up, my parents were very busy. I spent most of my time at Jack’s house. Unfortunately, after marrying Alice, Jack seemed to have changed into a different person. That woman had a great influence on him. Believe me, Jack was not such a mean person.”

Belland gently stroked Mary’s hair and said softly, “I love you, so I will accept your family. Even if they are not easy to get along with.”

Mary was touched and gently nestled in Belland’s arms.

Fortunately, she did not see Uncle Jack’s family very often. In fact, Uncle Jack’s family had only met Belland during Mary’s wedding.

After learning about Belland’s less-than-stellar job as a white-collared employee, Alice had said some unpleasant words. Mary believed that Belland must have formed a terrible impression of them.

At this moment, the door of the guest room on the first floor opened.

Francis was half-naked, wearing only a pair of casual pants. He leaned against the door and looked at the couple with interest. “Hey, did I scare your lovely wife?”

Mary flushed with embarrassment. After all, she had just stood at the door and openly gaped at Francis’s sex scene. She even mistakenly thought that he was Belland.

After such a big mistake, it was definitely awkward to meet again.

At this time, the female lead of the sex scene, the blonde female, also walked out of the room and flashed a wide smile at Mary. At the same time, she looked at Belland in surprise. She was probably surprised that the twins looked so similar.

Then, the blonde girl threw a flirtatious glance at Belland. She twisted her beautiful body and left Mary’s house.

Mary turned to look at Belland, who winked at her innocently.

Then, Belland said to Francis with displeasure, “I only allowed you to stay over. I didn’t say you could bring a woman to my house.”

Francis walked to the kitchen with his upper body naked. He took a bite of the apple on the table and spat it out with disgust, “I didn’t expect to bring a woman back either. She was the one who struck up a conversation with me, and since she looked pretty good, I just brought her back. Oh… aren’t women here too easy to date?”

Belland looked helpless. “Francis is going to stay here for a while. I hope you won’t be frightened by him.”

Francis reached out his hand to Mary. “Francis Gladden.”

Mary touched him lightly with her fingertips. “Mary Croft.”

Now that she looked closely, Mary noticed that Francis was different from Belland,

Francis had thick brown hair, just like Belland, but Belland always combed his hair neatly, just like his strict attitude toward life.

Francis, on the other hand, had flowing hair that was loosely combed, giving him a languid and casual air.
