Chapter 33
Meanwhile, Wayne and his party, who had already walked out of the hotel, turned their heads to look behind them. They still felt incredulous at what had happened.
They really couldn't understand why Fade, who seemed like a poor loser, suddenly became so powerful. Even Master Wei of the North Bay City was so respectful to him and even called him "Brother Fade". Could it be that he was the descendant of a wealthy family, or that he had some kind of hidden identity?
Everyone couldn't help but guess.
Louise was silent and full of regret. She blamed herself for not clinging to such a great opportunity. Instead, she was fooled by Wayne, who was just a fool and caused her to miss the real jackpot.
Diana, on the other hand, was anxious. She was worried that Fade and Momo would take revenge on her after they returned. Of course, she was also a little regretful.
However, Fade obviously would not hate her. After leaving the restaurant, the three of them returned to school.
Thinking of Louise and Diana's behavior, Momo felt disgusted and didn't want to see them anymore. She immediately rented a two-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood around the school to move out with Yuri.
Fade became a sort of domestic helper in their process of moving. He helped the two girls clean up the house. After a lot of work, it was already dinner time when he returned to the villa.
When he entered the house, his wife and Housekeeper Wang were having dinner. When she saw Fade came back, Housekeeper Wang quickly got up and served him dinner. Quin said faintly, "You're back." Then she restored her aloof attitude and did not further probe Fade on his late arrival.
However, although his wife did not ask, Fade took the liberty to tell Quin that Momo and her classmate rented a house outside the school. He avoided bringing up the fact that they got into a fight. Quin nodded. Then, as usual, she quickly finished her meal and went upstairs.
Her indifferent attitude made Fade miss his wife from two days ago. He couldn't help but think of the shy look on his wife in his wife's room that day.
"Perhaps I can find a chance to buy my wife a gift again, maybe she will allow me to stay in her bedroom and sleep next time. However, I had just given her plush toys recently, what should I give her next time? Or perhaps I should show more care..."
Fade muttered to himself as he finished his meal quickly. After washing up, he went back to his room to rest. Before he went to bed, thinking of what had happened earlier, Fade took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Quin. "Dear, don't work too late. Go to bed early. Good night!"
Then he stubbornly waited for her wife's good night reply, but he didn't get the reply he wanted. Instead, he got a good night greeting from Momo. After the two words "good night", there was also a photo of herself.
The photo showed a beautiful Momo who just came out of the bathroom and was wrapped in a bathrobe.
Wet hair fell over her shoulders, her big dark eyes, her skin that was so tender as if it was made of water, and the looming pale skin showing in the gap of her bathrobe. In an instant, Fade was full of energy, his sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you reply to me? Did you fall asleep?" Momo's message came again, followed by an angry expression.
Fade wiped his spit, typed quickly, and replied, "I watched your pretty photo in awe and forgot about time."
"Really? I still have more photos. Brother-in-law, do you want to see them?" Momo said with a smile.
"Yes!" Fade replied quickly, followed by several emoticons with starry eyes.
Soon, Momo replied, "Brother-in-law, this time the photo is more awesome. It has an important part. You have to look at it slowly!"
Her words made Fade excited. He nodded repeatedly and sent several salivating emojis.
Then, the photo of Momo was sent over. Perhaps because of the poor speed of the Internet, the loading was slow.
About a minute later, the photo finally showed up, but it was blank. There was nothing.
"Did Momo sent the wrong image?" Fade was about to ask, but unexpectedly, the blank picture suddenly flashed, and then a horrible bloody face showed up. Fade was shocked and threw his mobile phone. Fortunately, it fell on the bed and did not fall to the ground and break.
After Fade finally calmed down, he knew that he had been fooled by Momo. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, picked up his mobile phone, typed a long essay to scold her.
But, a line of the message appeared. "Sorry, you can't send any message to this contact right now."
Fade was stunned. "This mischievous little woman just blocked me."
Fade lay back on his bed helplessly. After a long time, he calmed down and closed his eyes, ready to sleep. But at this moment, his mobile phone vibrated.
Fade picked up his phone and thought that the beautiful Momo had come to tease him again. He gritted his teeth again and insisted on teaching her a lesson this time. However, he opened WeChat and found that it was a message sent by Quin.
The message was very short, with only a few words. "I just saw this. Thank you! I'm going to sleep. Goodnight to you too."
The reply was so ordinary but it surged Fade with energy. He suddenly sat up from the bed, holding his mobile phone, and started thinking about how to reply to his wife. He couldn't be too intimate to avoid his wife feeling disgusted; he couldn't be too polite, or he couldn't show his sincerity.
As a result, he took more than ten minutes to ponder and finally typed a line of words. However, when Fade was ready to send the carefully thought message, he noticed that his wife said that she was going to sleep.
Therefore, Fade had to delete the reply word by word. Finally, he sighed and lay back on his bed.
Fade's mind was in a mess. He didn't know when he fell asleep. But as soon as he fell asleep, he found that nightmares were coming one after another.
Sometimes he dreamed that his wife Quin did not recognize him and wanted to drive him out of the house, and then he dreamed that Momo turned into a bloody devil and was chasing after him.
In short, Fade couldn't sleep well that night.
Hence, when he was woken up by Housekeeper Wang the next morning, he had dark circles under his eyes. After breakfast, as usual, he took his wife's car to the company. Of course, he still got off the car midway and walked to the company on his own.
