Chapter 160
“Everyone in the industry knows about Kaleb’s favoritism and support towards me,” Leyla’s tone grew stronger, tinged with sadness. “I could have been openly with him, but because of your interference, we can only be together in secret now.”
I closed my eyes, tears welling up and spilling over. My heart was in chaos, unable to distinguish which sentence was true and which was false. It was too painful! Whether it was true or not, I didn’t want to hear it anymore!
I interrupted the call, threw my phone onto the couch, covered my face with both hands, and wiped away tears. I gritted my teeth and choked back tears, not wanting to let myself cry. The pain in my heart felt like it had taken my life–continuous, intense, fierce, and painful to the point where I didn’t know how to alleviate it. I opened my mouth and exhaled, and the tears I’d just wiped away kept flowing out.
In our two–year marriage, Kaleb never touched me. There were no hand–holding, no kissing, no intimacy. The only embrace we shared was the one he gave me last time at my brother’s doorstep, when I was feeling too sad. I couldn’t tolerate a lack of intimacy, as long as we could live together happily. I could accommodate him even if I didn’t love him, as long as he didn’t betray the marriage and didn’t let me suffer. But all of this was just self–deception on my part.
I was now being affected by these bad peach blossoms around him, feeling so much pain that I was almost suffocating, unable to live a normal life, let alone work normally.
The bell rang again. I wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and picked up my phone to look at the screen. It was a call from Giana. I adjusted my emotions and put the phone to my ear. My throat was burning, and I wanted to cry my heart out. I couldn’t even say a word.
Giana couldn’t wait.“Katrina, you have to check Twitter. Your husband is trending again, and it’s with that female celebrity, Leyla.”
