It turned out that Mandy, Lyla, and Colene had gone to church. After church, they went on a shoppingspree.
They also visited a trending café before returning to Heightsnew Villa, feeling satisfied.
In the eyes of the world, they were in awkward positions. People expected them to scheme against oneanother and to have a cut- throat relationship behind closed doors.
However, the trio were close, like three peas in a pod. At times, even Alyssa felt deep jealousy whenshe witnessed their sisterhood.
Winston must have saved the universe in his past life for him to have Mandy’s, Lyla’s, and Colene’sloyalty toward him in this life.
“Woah! Why didn’t any of you bring me along? I’m sad now…” Alyssa teased.
She was sitting on the swing in the garden. Like a young and energetic youth, she swung back andforth with the tip of her toes sweeping on the ground.
“Oh, dearest Alyssa, it’s not that we didn’t want to bring you along!”
Colene approached her from behind and put her arms around her neck.
She hugged Alyssa and said softly, “Why didn’t you give us a heads-up. that you made a last-minutedecision to come home? If we knew that you were coming back, unless anything life-threateninghappened to Winston, we would have waited for you at home no matter what!”
Alyssa cringed.
Mandy and Lyla looked extremely awkward. They advised, “Watch your words, Colene. You sound likeyou are ill-wishing Winston.”
“I didn’t! If anything were to happen to Winston, where else am I going to find such reliable financialbacking?” Colene put her hands on her hips and bellowed.
Alyssa, Mandy, and Lyla looked on gloomily.
It was a good thing that Winston wasn’t around. Otherwise, he might just have a heart attack.
“Lyla is a believer, and there was mass today, so the both of us thought of accompanying her to go outfor some fresh air,” Mandy gently explained while holding Alyssa’s hand.
“It’s my bad. I should make it up to Lyse by making a delicious feast tonight,” Lyla said.
She loved Alyssa more than her own daughter. When she saw that Alyssa was unhappy, she turnedand immediately headed toward the kitchen.
“No, don’t, Lyla! I was just joking with all of you!”
Alyssa got up in a hurry to stop Lyla in her tracks. She linked arms. with Lyla and pouted. “Look at you,can’t you take a joke?”
Lyla’s introverted and humble self tugged at Alyssa’s heartstrings. She figured living such a cautiouslife must be too exhausting.
“How are you lately, Lyla? Do you feel better now?” Alyssa asked in a warm tone.
“Don’t worry about me, Lyse. I’m fine. I’ve felt much better since al long time ago.”
Lyla stroked Alyssa’s silky, dark hair. She asked with a gaze full of concern, “How about you? Whathave you been up to out there lately?
“Winston has been worried sick because you haven’t come back in such a long time. He’s lost hisappetite and has even lost weight.”
“That’s right! He couldn’t even eat Lyla’s cooking. It’s obvious how much Winston misses you,” Colenechimed in.
Although Alyssa felt rather guilty, she didn’t show it on her face.
“The other day, I heard Winston on the phone with you, Lyse. He raised his voice quite loudly. Did youboth have an argument?” Mandy couldn’t help but ask.
“Not really…”
“Not really? Wow… Ever since that day, it was like a dark cloud was looming over Winston wherever hewent. Even when he was going out this morning, he also looked livid. He looked just like Hulk!” said
Colene as she shuddered at that thought.novelbin
“That’s right, Lyse. What in the world happened? It’s rare for Winston to be angry like that.” Lyla wasalso especially concerned.
Alyssa pursed her lips and tried to control her breathing. She explained slowly, “Jasper and I are backtogether.”
A hush enveloped them.
