Gwyn was a little dazed when he saw Mary.
Then, he ran upstairs and pulled Mary into his arms. It was not until he felt her warmth that he was sure that Mary had not left.
Mary, who had just been woken up, was already a little grumpy. Now that Gwyn was suffocating her, she said unhappily, "This late at night and you're not sleeping, are you trying to murder your wife?
Seeing the tears in Mary's eyes and the look of being bullied, Gwyn gently pulled her into her arms and coaxed her softly, "I'm sorry to have woken you up. But where did you go just now? I thought you left."
"I was sleeping in the bedroom. Where else can I go at this hour? " Mary replied impatiently and gestured at Gwyn's bedroom with her chin.
It was only then that Gwyn realized that Mary had been in his bedroom the whole time. He had assumed she wasn't there because she never slept with him, so he hadn't bothered to check his own bedroom.
"Why are you in my bedroom?" Gwyn asked in confusion.
"Isn't your bedroom mine? Are you coming back to sleep or not?" Mary was really sleepy, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, immediately!" Gwyn followed Mary back to the bedroom.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do now.
"What do we do now?" one of the bodyguards asked Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Brown rolled her eyes at the man. "Madam isn't missing. Who else is there to look for?"
Mrs. Brown turned back and saw Tracey looking jealous. She thought it was not a good sign. Why was Tracey targeting Mary recently?
Tracey, on the other hand, was staring viciously at Gwyn's bedroom door. At this moment, jealousy almost drove her crazy.
Mary did not sleep well that night, but Gwyn had a good night's sleep with his lover in his arms.
Mary was woken up by a servant.
Mary was a little displeased when she heard the knock on the door.
The servant saw Mary's unhappy face and said awkwardly, "Madam, Miss Julie is here. She says she has something important to discuss with you."
Upon hearing that Julie was looking for her, Mary regained a little bit of her composure.
It was likely that Julie couldn't get through to her on the phone yesterday, so she had come to visit her today. As Mary had suspected, it was not going to be easy to shake off Julie.
Mary wanted to ignore Julie, but she thought that Julie would still be useful in the future, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Julie sat in the living room, feeling a little uneasy. It wasn't that she hadn't been to Gwyn's villa before, but she was always stunned by the décor of the villa.
There were various antiques in the living room, and a wool carpet covered the entire floor. It was quite cumbersome to clean it every day.
However, Gwyn had decorated the living room this way because Mary enjoyed walking barefoot, and he was concerned about her catching a cold.
Thinking of how well Gwyn treated Mary, Julie was extremely jealous. Why did all these good things fall on that idiot's head?
Seeing Mary coming downstairs, Julie greeted her with a fawning smile, "Mary, it's been a while since I've seen you. I made these cookies myself, I remember you love them the most. I brought them for you to try today."
Looking at the biscuit box in Julie's hand, Mary sneered in her heart.
She had been familiar with these biscuits before, as Julie had made them for her in the past.
However, in her previous life, due to her love for food and her deep trust in Julie, Mary believed that she was being treated kindly by her friend.
But Julie had secretly spiked the cookies with drugs, causing Mary to become addicted to them.
Eventually, Julie had control over Mary for a period of time, and Mary's hands would sometimes shake uncontrollably due to her addiction.
Mary only glanced at Julie from the corner of her eyes and ignored her.
Julie was also a little surprised. Usually, Mary would definitely eat cookies. Why was she so cold today? Did she find out something?
Although Julie was a little suspicious, she still asked about Bob's whereabouts. "Dear, didn't you say that you would ask Gwyn to let Bob go last time? But he still hasn't returned."
Mary smiled. "I didn't promise to save him. Besides, why are you so concerned about Bob?"
Although Mary was mocking Julie now, she also felt a sense of self-disgust. In her previous life, she had failed to notice anything wrong with Julie and had fallen for her manipulations.
"We're all friends. It's normal for me to worry about him. Aren't you worried about him?" Julie hurriedly explained.
"Are we 'friends'?" Mary asked instead of answering.
"Of course, we are best friends." Julie nodded vigorously, afraid that Mary would not believe her.
Mary smiled at Julie and asked, "So, you want me to beg Gwyn to let Bob go?"
Julie felt a chill when she saw Mary's smile. She nodded unconsciously.
"Alright, then I'll let him go." The smile on Mary's face grew wider.
