Brian was ridden with guilt.He cuddled Eris in his arms and softly stroked her hair.
As a serious crisis had been averted, Eris could finally rest easy.She knew that her explanation had
worked like magic "Brian, are you alright?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Thank you for trusting me and loving me unconditionally."
"Brian, don't be silly.You are the closest person to me.Of course I love and believe you."
'Yes! Eris is the closest person to me yet I questioned her integrity.On the contrary, I was almost swept
away by Wendy's foul words.It was really inappropriate.'
To compensate for his misperception, Brian caressed her cheek and kissed her gently.
Eris was pleasantly surprised.
And then she immediately responded with carnal enthusiasm.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became passionate.
Within seconds they were dancing the salsa horizontally and engaging in acrobatic porn.
Their clothes were scattered all over the floor.
The two of them became slaves to their senses.
After half an hour of vigorous, kamasutra postures, Brian went to the bathroom to shower.
"Would you like to join me for a sensuous shower?"
Eris, with her hands on her hips, stared at him seductively.
"No, I would not.If I take a shower with you, you will take me to task again.I'm already so tired trying to
satisfy your voluptuous sexual appetite.You are too strong and energetic.I'll pass this time."
Deeply satisfied, Brian went chuckling to the bathroom.
As soon as he disappeared into the bathroom, the smile on Eris's face was gradually replaced with
scorn, 'Wendy! How dare you saddle me with such a crisis? I won't spare you!'
She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and dialed a number secretly.
The phone was quickly connected.
Cacia's sleepy voice came from the other end of the line, "Eris, why are you calling me in the middle of
the night? What happened?"
"Mom, is dad with you?" Eris whispered.
Cacia glanced at the sleeping Ruben, lifted the quilt and crawled out of bed.
"What's wrong?"
"I have something to talk to you about, alone."
"Just a minute."
A soft rustling sound came from the other end of the phone.
After more than ten seconds, Cacia responded, "Well, go ahead."
"Mom, Brian proposed to me today."
"What? That's wonderful!"
Cacia was overjoyed.
"It's a wonderful gesture indeed, but it was almost which made him ignore me the whole
night.Fortunately, I outwitted her and resolved the crisis."
Cacia shouted, "Damn it! How dare she!"
"Mom! Didn't you say the last time that you would punish Wendy? I have yet to see you take action
against her.Mom, if we don't stop her in her tracks right away, she will definitely ruin my life! Mom, do
you have any ideas? If not, I'll deal with her myself.I can't tolerate her for even a second!"
"Eris, calm down.I already have a plan."
"What plan?"
"I have to keep it secret for now.But don't you worry.I have planned strategically.In less than three days
that strumpet will be forced to quit showbiz and will have to face the wrath of the public.After that, she
will no longer be a threat to you!"
'Quit showbiz? And face the wrath of the public? This...Is it possible?' Eris couldn't believe her ears.
She asked again, "Mom, is your plan foolproof?"
"Absolutely foolproof!"
Hearing her words of confidence, Eris was relieved.
'Okay! I will wait for another three days! Then I would like to see what tricks Wendy could still play!' Eris
thought to herself.
Although Wendy left the party early, it was already ten o'clock when she arrived home.No.2 Villa was in
total darkness.
Wendy thought that Ray must be asleep.
After entering the villa, she hung her bag on the shelf, changed into slippers and then planned to go
back to her bedroom to take a shower, and then check on Ray.
She pushed open the door to her en-suite and turned on the light.
Just as she was about to step into the bathroom to take a shower, she noticed the little figure on her big
bed.
Ray lay on her bed, wearing his favorite cartoon- patterned pajamas.
He was sleeping soundly on his side and his arms were exposed outside the quilt.She walked over and
tucked him in.
It had been a while since she last saw him lying asleep like that.
Wendy blamed herself.
In the US, the shooting time was always eight hours.
Whether it was the main character or the supporting role, she only needed to shoot for eight hours a
day.
Then she was free to go home.
Therefore, she could spend enough quality time with Ray.
But after returning home, there were too many people around her and too much work, so she could not
spend more time with him.
That was probably why Ray suddenly came to her room to sleep.
Wendy gently stroked his hair.
'Heck! Perhaps only when he was asleep did he look like a child."
His eyes were closed and his long, curly eyelashes trembled slightly.
Looking at his small nose and pink lips, Wendy felt that he looked like a cute, little elf.
'What a handsome boy!' Wendy couldn't help but think of the time when Ray was a baby.
He looked like a crumpled old man.
Back then, she never imagined that he would grow up into such a handsome heartbreaker.
Time was really a mysterious and magical thing.
Wendy was so immersed in that flashback that she didn't notice Ray's eyelashes flutter a few times
before he opened his eyes.
"Mommy..."
"I'm sorry, honey.Did Mommy wake you up?"
"No..."
Ray yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you."
"Waiting for me?"
"Yes!"
Ray nodded sleepily.
"Today was my first day at school.You must have a lot of questions..."
Wendy's heart softened.
'This child, He is so considerate and reassuring.' While thinking, she touched his face and said, "Ray,
I'm not working tomorrow so I will have all morning to talk to you about your first day at school.But, I do
have to attend a show in the afternoon.Now you go back to bed, okay?"
However, Ray pulled her sleeve, rubbed his eyes and perked up.
"Mommy, I have something to tell you."
Wendy took off his shoes and sat cross legged on the edge of the bed.
"Go ahead."
"Mommy, many of our classmates came to school today with their parents." Wendy felt guilty so she
comforted Ray.
"I will drive you there tomorrow, okay?"
'That was not what I meant! Alas! Mom is smart yet she doesn't know what I'm driving at” Ray thought
to himself.
He got up from the bed and pretended to be depressed.
"Mommy, that's not what I want..."
"What do you mean?"
Ray suddenly raised his head and said in an aggrieved tone, "When Precious and I saw all the other
children with their parents, we were very envious.Precious only has a father, while I only have a
mother.Mommy, when will you find a father for me?"
Wendy was shell-shocked.
'What did he mean by saying that Precious only had a father and he only had a mother? What exactly
did he mean? Did he mean that he wants me to marry Ryan?’' Wendy was baffled.
