Chapter 33 Lipstick Mark on the Collar

• "While you were on your business trip, Melanie was planning your birthday party and considering what to give you. Every day, she's been coming to me for advice and suggestions. She even cooked up a feast. There, on that chair, she waited up all night for you. She refused to listen when I told her to rest because she said you had promised to return home." After saying that, Nadia couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
• At that moment, Benjamin's hands stopped in midair as he was about to remove his tie, and his eyes eventually followed her fingers to the empty chair.
• "Your mother informed me that the two of you are getting divorced. So, if there is a misunderstanding, you should talk it out because she has every right to be angry. Moreover, it was your responsibility to keep your word, and even if you couldn't return in time, you could have at least called her to let her know. It would be inconsiderate of you to make her wait up all night for you only to return reeking of alcohol with a lipstick mark on your collar. No wonder she's so upset about it and wants a divorce!"
