Emery did not take back her hand, not knowing it was because of the recent mental exhaustion or sympathy for Ruby's words, lowering her eyes, and then her voice was lighter when she opened her mouth, "This feeling, you and I can not bear, right?"
Ruby's eyes grew red. "I've never felt hard, Emery. You should know why I married Joseph. I just wanted to make it easier for us to stay together. We are fake, but you? You really married Eric, and you really want to stay with him to be his woman, you can't do that."
"So you seduced him into bed?" Emery raised eyes, suddenly cold.
"You betrayed me first. I just want to let you know that no man is reliable! He can be in your bed today and tomorrow in my bed!"
Emery clenched her teeth.
"You don't even know how good Eric is at acting. That's right. He felt guilty the first time he cheated, but then?" Ruby looked at her painfully, "He took the initiative to come to me for the second and third times. He told me that I was better than you and that he felt better in my bed than yours. He was so good. He put all the blame on me. But it doesn't matter. It's just because he's such a man that I decided to retake you. You know, every time I sleep with him, I feel sick and wish I could kill him with a knife."
"Stop it." Emery retracted her hands and held her fingers.
Ruby pressed her lips tightly and obediently stopped speaking.
After a long time, Emery sighed, "In fact, I just want to be an ordinary person. I am tired of sneaking around about your relationship with me, so I am thinking that as long as I marry a man, I should return to normal life, and I really want to find the feeling of being a woman. I can't afford to be found out and to expose my abnormal sexual orientation in public."
Ruby gathered her eyes.
"The result…" Emery raised her eyes and smiled bitterly, "As you said, every time he touched me, I felt as if I was eating a fly, but I still reluctantly pandered to him. Every time it was like a torment, and I can only feel the love when I close my eyes and imagine when I put you under me."
Tears fell down Ruby's cheeks pitifully.
"Then you...will leave me again?"
Emery's eyes were also red, "Have you ever thought, if one day our relationship is exposed and how to do it? You are Ruby Lake, and how will the outsiders think of you?"
"I don't care." Ruby shook her head. "I just want to be with you, that's it."
Emery did not speak for a long time.
****
After Veterans Day, Irish's schedule was full again, as the previous schedule, with Mondays in University, Tuesdays, Wednesdays in the Linkus, and Thursdays in Runestone Group.
This time, the news of her return to the Runestone Group hadn't been concealed from her uncle and aunt. After all, the fire could not be wrapped in paper. It was better to tell them in person than they find it themselves. Of course, Mary was very unhappy and had just begun to oppose it strongly. Later, when Irish mentioned the haunted story of the Lake, Mary hesitated a little, and his uncle was silent for a long time before he said a word, "You too are old enough. You can make up your mind about your own affairs. There is only one condition, no more harm to yourself."
Irish swore she would be good to her uncle and aunt all her life. She was so unfortunate that her mother had left her and her father had become someone else's father, but she was too lucky that her uncle and aunt treated her as their daughter.
Jay somehow guessed the real reason for her return to the Runestone Group, saying neither objection nor consent but looking at her in a strange way, giving her a look of "We are similar in the world."
Joseph had already told Henry about her return to the Runestone. He was naturally happier to hear that, but Shirley was angry. After she returned from the hospital, she felt that everything was not going well. First, Ruby moved out of the house and went out to live alone, and then she heard Irish was back to work in the Runestone Group. For a time, she complained, saying that Irish was cursed, whose return to the Runestone made the Lake restless.
However, she also knew that her opposition was not valid. Henry nodded, and she could not help but wait for the police to close the case. It was sooner or later that Irish returned to her house. She always suspected that the poison was made by Irish and felt that her promise was nothing more than guilt.
William and Kelly did not express any opinion on Irish's return to the Runestone and remained free to live their lives.
Irish's back to work no doubt became the company's top news, and everyone still remembered that Shirley made a scene in the Runestone, and after that, Irish resigned. So many eyes began to stare at the distance between Joseph and her.
Of course, gossip was inevitable. Some said that at that time, there might have been a misunderstanding. Some said that Joseph was just playing around and would not take her seriously. Some said that Joseph was frankly trying to be against the identity of the son-in-law of the Lake. In short, it was like a stone, making a thousand waves, stimulating all kinds of speculation.
But the ideal thing was, because Irish did appeal to everyone in the past, and many of her colleagues were friends with her, she returned to work without any worry. These rumors were nothing more than affairs in casual talk, and everyone was still close to her.
In addition to his business trip, Joseph would go to her at night, especially on Friday, he would try not to arrange for Friday night so that he could go home with her. Of course, they wouldn't show up together. She would leave the company first, buy some food at the supermarket and almost wait until he got out of the basement, and then he would pick her up at the supermarket door.
