The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 333

“I’m not like you, Cedrick.”

Harlan patted him, very pleased with himself. “You can’t spoil women. I’m not like you, just throwing money at them. I give her a monthly allowance for household expenses. If she wants to buy something, she uses the supplementary card for my credit card. I don’t give her any extra cash. To control a person, you have to control their finances first.”

After speaking, Harlan turned around smugly and gave a wave behind him, thinking he looked cool. “Bye, you two have fun today. I’m going to go home and check on her.”

Only Cedrick and Maricela were left in the hallway.

“Cedrick…” Maricela began, looking aggrieved. “Harlan was going to ask you to go out to eat with us. Are you free?”

Cedrick looked at her, Zoe’s angry words from earlier roaring in his ears.

“Aren’t you saying all this just to cover up the fact that you want to have your cake and eat it too?”

“Whether it’s emotional or physical, cheating is cheating!”

“If you just admitted you cheated, I’d at least respect you for being a man. But you cheat and still pretend to be deeply in love…”

Seeing he didn’t react, Maricela smiled and said, “It’s okay. If you’re busy, go ahead. I’ll be fine. I can eat by myself.”

She said the understanding words with a smile, but then her eyes welled up with tears, a look of grievance on her face.

Cedrick looked dazed and nodded. “Okay.”

Maricela was stunned. Did that “Okay” mean…

“Then, I’ll go back by myself. You don’t have to take me.”

She continued speaking, tears already threatening to fall.

Cedrick just said, “Okay,” and turned to go back to his office.

Maricela followed him for a few steps, only to hear a slam as his office door closed. She was shut

out.

Maricela stood outside the door for a long time, unable to process it: Was this Cedrick?

Was this the same Cedrick who would give her anything she wanted when she first came back?

Her tears were about to fall, and he didn’t even notice!

Is this Cedrick?

His gaze no longer lingered on her.

She stood outside his office door and sneered: Men. They only ever chase what they can’t have.

When Harlan got home, the first thing he saw were two suitcases in the Entryway Hall.

He thought Nicole had just gotten back and hadn’t unpacked yet, so he called for his son as he walked in. “Jacob?”

Jacob quietly walked out, dragging a small kid’s suitcase, with Nicole.

Nicole was holding her son’s hand, a large canvas bag on her back.

“Did you just get back, or are you heading out?”

Harlan felt that something wasn’t right.

“Heading out.”

Nicole said flatly.

“Where to?”

Harlan thought they were going on a trip. “It’s good to get away for a bit, but I don’t have time to go with you.”

Nicole’s expression was indifferent. “That won’t be necessary.”

“Fine, then you two go by yourselves.”

Harlan was very pleased. See, this was the wife he had trained. Those two wimps, Cedrick and David, one got divorced by his woman, the other got slapped by his. What a disgrace!

But Nicole looked at him, her eyes filled with coldness. “What I mean is, it will never be necessary again.‘
