He turned his head and kissed the tears in the corners of my eyes, gently and affectionately.

Rolf always treated me like this, lightly, not that kind of strong love, but I could feel his care.

Now that I knew the truth, I understood that this was all to monitor me.

Because all his passionate love was given to my sister, Serena.

“I am okay, I was just moved by watching drama.”

I tried to suppress the trembling caused by anger.

Rolf thought I was too sentimental and smiled helplessly.

“Silly, these are all fake. By the way, Serena will return to Akso tomorrow to prepare for the competition. You and I will go back to the old house for the family dinner tonight.”

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Rolf pinched my cheek again.

“Okay, it was Keith who let you down back then and Serena was also innocently implicated. Besides, aren’t you going to participate in that piano competition too? It’s just right that Serena has returned from her studies and you can chat with your sister.”

I prepared for this competition for a long time.

I was practicing the piano even though I had severe morning sickness in the first three months of pregnancy.

No matter what Serena did, I would definitely participate.

I pretended to nod obediently.

Rolf breathed a sigh of relief and his phone vibrated slightly. He smiled at a glance.

“I have work to do temporarily, so I’ll go to the study first. I also bought you a skirt today. It’s in the bedroom. Go try it on.”

His tone was the same as usual, but his eyes were glued to the phone.

When he entered the study, I clicked on WhatsApp on the computer again.

I saw the messages sent by Serena.

The first one was that she was wearing a cool dress and a skirt couldn’t even be pieced together into a complete piece of fabric.

“Can I wear this for the family dinner tomorrow?”

“Serena, it will be cold tomorrow and you will catch a cold if you wear this.”

“Okay, then... I will only wear it for you.”

“Okay.”

My heart seemed to be clenched and loosened by a big hand.

It took me a long time to log out.

I found my phone and made that call.

***

When I returned to the bedroom, I saw a skirt on the bed.

This brand was often bought by Rolf and he was even the SVIP of the store.

In order to be a good Mrs. Davison in front of outsiders, I also went to learn about these brands.

So I recognized it at a glance. It was not the latest style, or even a new dress.

I searched Serena’s WhatsApp's status based on my impression.

Soon, I found this dress in December last year.

Serena wore it and leaned on a man’s arms to drink.

I didn’t like Serena, so I never paid attention to these things.

Now I knew that the man holding her was Rolf.

There was no wedding ring on the ring finger of his right hand, only a faint ring mark.

Looking up, I found that the latest styles of every year and every season were sent to Serena.

No wonder Rolf was an SVIP.

It turned out that what I wear was always what others didn’t want.

Thinking of this, I stumbled to the dressing table to look for my jewelry.

Rings, necklaces, bracelets...

All of them were engraved with the letter S.

Rolf really loved Serena.

Looking up at this cold bedroom again, there was not a single photo of us.

Even the wedding photos were put into the basement one month after the wedding.

I was very confused at the time, but Rolf just explained it lightly.

“I don’t like to have photos at home. Besides, I don’t think my love for you needs to be proved by photos.”

I couldn’t sleep at all during the thunderstorm.

I just curled up in bed and waited for dawn.

When I was half asleep, I heard Rolf coaxing Serena to sleep.

Such a serious person was actually telling the story of the Little Mermaid.

He climbed onto the bed only after I heard the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone, gently stroked my eyebrows and then helped me rub my swollen calves.

His voice was soft.

“Jocelyn, just work hard for a while. It will be over soon.”

I pretended to turn my head unconsciously and my tears fell into the pillow.

Yes, it would be over soon.

When I got up early in the morning, the pillow was already cold.

The pocket of the coat hanging on the side was vibrating all the time.

I thought Rolf forgot to bring his phone to work, so I walked over and took it out.

But I found it was a phone I had never seen him use.

The alarm was set on the calendar.

[Serena is returning to Akso. The flight is...]

The numb vibration almost made me lose my grip on the phone.

The lock screen showed Serena’s sleeping face.

If I had found this phone earlier, I would have entered my own lock screen password.

But now, I just entered Serena’s birthday and unlocked it easily.

The wallpaper was Serena’s graduation photo.

There were tens of thousands of photos of Serena in the album.

Even if it was a waste of photos in the eyes of girls, Rolf was reluctant to delete it.

I swallowed my tears, took a deep breath and adjusted myself before putting the phone back.

The next second, Rolf opened the door.

He cared about me a little unnaturally.

“Did my phone wake you up? Sorry, I have a lot of work recently.”

Then he took the coat and covered the phone without leaving any trace.

Afraid that I would know that it was a spare phone.

I lowered my head and touched my belly.

“It’s because the child is too noisy. Rolf, can you accompany me to the prenatal check-up today?”

Rolf looked embarrassed and came over to kiss my forehead.

“Baby, how about next time?”

I barely pulled the corner of my mouth.

“Okay.”

Rolf, there wouldn’t be a next time.

After Rolf left, I changed my clothes casually and took a taxi away without disturbing the driver.

I knew he wouldn’t agree to accompany me.

I didn’t want him to accompany me in the first place.

Swiping through the address book, I found Keith, who was blacklisted by me.

When I called the tenth times, Keith finally answered impatiently.

“Jocelyn, you still want to pester me after three years? I’m married to Serena! If you hadn’t suddenly returned to the Snider Family to recognize your ancestors, the marriage partner would never have been you…”

I interrupted Keith’s chattering.

“Keith, your wife cheated on you, did you know?”

Keith was silent for a rare time.

“Serena won’t betray me.”

His voice was obscure and he seemed to have thought of something.

I looked at the scenery receding outside the window and wiped away my tears.

I also thought Rolf wouldn’t betray me.

“Check it again, Keith, check it carefully.”

After hanging up the phone, I asked the driver to park the car at the law firm.

I drafted a divorce agreement and went home again.

Until the afternoon, Rolf, who used to work overtime every day, came home on time to pick me up.

It seemed that he was about to get what he wanted and the corners of his mouth were raised intentionally or unintentionally.

The old house of the Davison Family was located halfway up the mountain.

When we arrived, there were already some people.

I had been married for three years, but the Davison Family still didn’t like me.

A few side branches whispered something when they saw me.

“Jocelyn is obviously the real daughter of the Snider Family, but it has been three years and she hasn’t changed her surname to Snider.”

“Tsk, you think she is shameful. She had an affair before marriage. How can she compare with her sister, Serena.”

“I heard that Serena has been a famous pianist abroad in recent years.”

I turned my head away and pretended not to hear anything.

Anyway, I would leave after the game was over.

Serena appeared at the door in a dazzling dress, holding the slightly distracted Keith.

Rolf, who was holding my hand, let go immediately.

Serena was full of joy and threw herself into Rolf’s arms.

Then she let go immediately, blushing.

“I’m used to living abroad. I didn’t mean it. Don’t mind, Jocelyn.”

Rolf’s hand was still hanging in the air and then it was put down stiffly.

Hearing this, his eyes fell on me.

I smiled casually, but glanced at Keith instead.

“I don’t mind.”

Rolf, who should have breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips, his eyes deep.

Serena was careful and noticed it immediately.

She rolled her eyes and the next moment she covered her mouth and pointed at my ears.

“Hey, how come the earrings I didn’t see a few years ago are here with you?”

As soon as the words fell, she tried to make amends as if she had said something wrong.

“I didn’t say you stole it. I meant that if you like it, I can give it to you.”

The Davison Family branch, which had already had a problem with me, talked even more blatantly.

“Oh my God, how can such a thief appear in the Davison Family? It’s really embarrassing!”

“Heh, you don’t know that Jocelyn’s adoptive mother blackmailed the Snider Family for 600,000 dollars. What kind of mother raises what kind of daughter.”

“Rolf is really blind. He is willing to marry such a woman…”

I felt dizzy and felt like someone hit me on the top of my head.

“I didn’t steal it. Rolf gave it to me…”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Rolf would not admit his perverted hobby.

“Jocelyn, since you stole the things, give them back to Serena.”

Serena immediately refused, but she looked at Rolf vaguely.

“No, I don’t want it if it has been used by others.”

Rolf panicked and stretched out his hand to pull off the earring.

My earlobe immediately bled.

Rolf wrapped the earring in a handkerchief and handed it to Serena carefully.

Until the farce was over, Rolf remembered me.

But he was shocked by the sadness on my face.

He wanted to hug me, but I pushed him away.

I walked slowly to a corner to get some fresh air, but Rolf didn’t follow me.

I called a waiter and gave him a card.

“Do me a favor and the money will be yours after the matter is done.”

When the sun set, I was still eating snacks outside the house.

Serena came with the light behind her.

She held the earring wrapped in a handkerchief in one hand and a few yellowed papers in the other.

“Jocelyn, I don’t want the dirty things you have worn!”

Serena threw the earring on my face and couldn’t help giggling.

“Oh, by the way, thank you for the music score. I will play well in the competition.”

I looked up suddenly and saw clearly that those pieces of paper were the piano pieces I had written with great effort over the past three years!

My teeth were chattering from biting them.

“Where did you steal them from!”

Serena smiled.

“Rolf gave them to me personally. He said that this championship can only be mine. How can a woman like you who has been played with by others be qualified to play the piano!”

In the past few years, I had been living in the gossip of others every day.

Only music could calm me down.
