The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

A crowd came in. Among them, Maricela was the loudest.

“Wow! Ced, the couch, the big window, the dining table, the lamp, the carpet, everything looks fabulous!

“Ced, you still remember the furnishing style we discussed! You used it in your own home. Ced!

“Your house is spacious! Ced, I told you a single–story apartment was terrific, and you thought a villa was better. Now, you know who was right, huh?”

Lucille was shocked again.

At first, she had thought Cedrick bought a single–story apartment so she could easily move around. It turned out she couldn’t be more wrong.

This was the ideal home for him and Maricela.

The single–story apartment, the lamps in a foreign style, the picture window, the bright- colored carpet with diverse patterns, the cloth couch, the dining table in a foreign style…

Everything was Maricela’s favorite.

Maricela was still talking.

“Oh, dear! Ced, you have so many overseas rag dolls in your home!

“Have you collected every edition? How did you do it?”

Harlan cut in, “Ced always remembered you liked them. Every time he or someone else went you.” abroad on a business trip, he’d buy one for

Lucille listened in her room. Holding the door handle, her hand shook. Another conversation rushed back into her head.

“Cedrick, why did you buy so many dolls?”

“You may get bored at home. Although these dolls can’t speak, they can fill the spaces. The house won’t look desolate.”

Lucille smiled bitterly.

Of course.

Cedrick and Lucille had been living here since they got married. But Maricela was never absent. There were three people in this marriage? How could the house be desolate?

The dining room, the living room, the spot by the window…

Every corner was about Maricela. Everything reminded Cedrick of her. She was ubiquitous in this house. How could it be desolate?

Every night, Cedrick lay far away from her on the bed. Was he saving a space for Maricela between them?

Finally, Lucille was fed up. She opened the door.

These people were all nostalgic, talking about Cedrick and Maricela with no scruples. Didn’t they know this house had a mistress? Lucille would show them.

Even though she was divorcing Cedrick, they weren’t divorced yet.

It was too loud when she flung the door open. All heads turned to her.

Maricela had a doll in her hands, loving it too much to put it down. She shook the doll at Lucille and said, “Lucille, how I envy you these dolls. Can I have this one?”

“Certainly,” Lucille replied without hesitation at the door.

Cedrick was glad to hear that. However, Lucille added, “You can have everything in this house. The dolls, the house, and even this man. Take them all. They’re all yours.”

When she said “this man.” she looked at Cedrick.

Cedrick’s expression changed with embarrassment. He hissed, “Lucille!”

Maricela’s eyes reddened instantly. As if terrified, she dropped the doll at once. “Lucille, don’t be mad. That’s not what I mean. I just…..I just… It’s not what you think. You

misunderstand. If you don’t want me here, I’ll leave.”

Covering her face with her hands, Maricela turned around to run toward the door.

How could Cedrick and his friends let her leave like that?
