Chapter 329 Crack (continued)

Red wine, candles, dinner...

Brenda, who was well prepared, then led George into the dining room, where a candlelight dinner was placed on the dining table.

They are both adults, and at this point, George still doesn’t know what the other person is thinking.

After hesitating at the door, George finally went to sit down at the dining table.

Don't look at George's current body weight, and his image is also a bit sloppy. But when he was young, he was also a handsome guy who was very popular with girls.

It was only because he and Mary unexpectedly had a child that he got married and lived a simple family life.

Now Brenda's passionate "teasing" made him feel like he was young again.

"What are you doing?" George sat down, looked at the candlelight dinner in front of him, and opened the topic knowingly.

"You know, since Heshel left, my life has become a mess. So, I also need some sentiment occasionally to reward myself..." Brenda unknowingly showed a wave of weakness. Then, he appropriately changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how are you? You and Mary must be very happy."

"Don't mention it, Mary seems to have reached menopause recently..." Due to the atmosphere, George complained about his wife.

"How could this happen? She doesn't know how to cherish such an excellent husband like you..." Brenda followed George's topic while not forgetting to provoke the relationship between the two.

One party wants to guide, and the other party needs to talk.

Therefore, during the next candlelight dinner, the content of Brenda's chat with George became more and more private and ambiguous.

"Can I ask you to dance? It's been a long time since I've danced with anyone." When the time came, Brenda hit the mark.

A little physical contact can speed up the warming of feelings.

"Of course, to be honest, I haven't danced with anyone for a long time." The "bad" family life at home made George enjoy the warmth brought by Brenda at this moment.

Immediately, amid the soothing music, the two figures clumsily "embraced" each other.

……

"I'm full, let's see why George hasn't come back yet~" Mary felt a little uneasy in the Cooper's restaurant.

Her husband has not been back for so long. As a woman's sixth sense, Mary seems to feel the "threat" from Brenda.

While Mary sympathized with the single mother living alone next door, she did not forget that the two were once bitter rivals.

"Is there going to be a problem?" Miss Missy asked worriedly as her mother left angrily.

"What's the problem? Isn't this great now." Nervous Grandma Connie analyzed with a smile: "Mary looks jealous. This proves that she still cares about your father in her heart... …”

"I hope so!" Missy, who was as big as a brat, was obviously not that impressive.

Despite Mike's previous assurances, the situation at Billy's house still shrouded the little girl like a shadow.

Sure enough, Missy's worries were right. A few minutes later, Mary came back angrily. Without saying a word, he picked up his coat and walked out.

With the suppressed anger on her face, anyone could see that something big had happened to her.

"It's dark, where are you going? And, where is George?" Grandma Connie asked worriedly.

"Don't mention George to me!!!" Thinking of the scene she just saw, Mary's lungs almost exploded with rage.

After letting out a venting roar, she put on her coat and disappeared out the door.

Now she urgently needs to "calm down".

"What's going on?" Grandma Connie, who was yelled at by her daughter for no reason, looked a little confused.

"Mike, did you go to Brenda's house to see what happened? Little George, you..."

Grandma Connie recovered quickly. Mary's reaction just now made her realize that something must have happened at Brenda's house.

Therefore, Grandma Connie first sent Mike to inquire about the situation, and then asked little George to follow Mary to avoid accidents.

It was only as soon as the words came out that Grandma Connie realized that little George was now "reflecting" in the basement.

"Forget it, let's not worry about Mary for now. Mike, you go get George back first." Grandma Connie made the final arrangement.

At this time, in Brenda's restaurant, accompanied by soothing music and an ambiguous atmosphere, the two people who were dancing ballroom were getting closer and closer.

How can a normal cat resist the temptation of fish?

Faced with Brenda's coquettish look, George finally couldn't help but slowly move his face closer to her.

At the moment when the atmosphere was thick and their lips touched. George suddenly covered his heart and fell backward.

For a moment, the candlelight dinner and tape recorder on the dining table in the back were swept to the floor.

"What's wrong with you?" The ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted, and Brenda was shocked when she saw George's pale face.

"I'm fine~" George struggled to get up.

In the end, this family man still failed to break through the barrier in his heart. At that moment, he thought of his wife Mary and the "cute" children at home.

The violent mood swings caused problems with his already unhealthy heart.

"You look very bad. Do I need to take you to the hospital?" Brenda also calmed down from her previous obsession. Although she and Mary don't get along, their relationship is actually quite good. They are the kind of "best friends" who don't get to know each other until they fight.

At the same time, he is also the kind of "friend" who will help others when they are in trouble.

Therefore, Brenda never really thought about destroying Mary's family.

Now that she has completely calmed down, she not only blames herself but is also afraid of what she did in a hot head.

Fear of losing the Cooper family’s “friendship.”

"I'm going to call someone for help." Seeing George's weak appearance, Brenda was about to call for help.

"No, don't call Mary, I'll just wait for a while..." Although he didn't really make a big mistake, George is still afraid of seeing his family, especially his wife.

"Please don't tell Mary about our previous affairs..." George pleaded guiltily.

"I just treated you to a thank you meal, what can happen between us?" Brenda returned to her capable appearance and wisely skipped the awkward topic.

Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and everything was unspoken.

"By the way, if you really need that, you can actually go to the bar. I believe that with your charm, you will not be short of partners..." After reaching an agreement, George even had the intention of joking.

"Hmm, you don't have to worry about this. Let's talk about your body, what's going on?" Brenda said, about to help George up.

After such a long time, George's symptoms of sweating and pale face have not improved.

"It's best not to touch him. George has a heart problem. It would be better if he lay flat..."

When George struggled to sit up with Brenda's help, Mike's voice came from outside the restaurant.

George's problem is insufficient blood supply to the heart. Lying flat is beneficial to blood circulation throughout the body.

"Please bring a towel and a glass of warm water." After laying the person down, Mike said to Brenda who was standing aside.

"Okay, I'll go right away~" Brenda quickly brought what Mike needed.

Then, looking at George lying on the ground, he asked, "Is he really okay like this?"

"Don't worry, as long as you are no longer stimulated, you will be able to recover after a short rest." Mike said as he padded George's head with a towel and fed him some warm water.

Ten minutes later, George, who felt his body had returned to normal, got up on his own.

"I'm sorry, Brenda. I scared you today." George, who didn't dare to stay here any longer, gave Brenda a begging look and said goodbye, "If everything's okay, I'll leave first."

"Okay, bye~" Seeing this, Brenda waved her hands in relief and gave George a reassuring look.

At this time, the two of them were probably still thankful that the "secret" between them had not been discovered.

And it seems that they have decided to keep the past in their stomachs.

"By the way, Mike. Why did you suddenly come to Brenda's house?" Walking outside, George felt much more relaxed when the evening breeze blew.

So, feel free to chat.

"Is your heart still hurting now?" Mike asked a very strange question.

From Mary's previous behavior, to the situation in Brenda's restaurant, and even the "eyes on" between George and Brenda.

Mike can easily analyze the general outline of things.

So before informing George of the bad news, he needed to consider the other person's physical condition.

"My heart is fine." George shook his head and asked curiously, "Why do you ask?"

"Just to prepare you mentally, I have bad news to tell you." Mike stopped and said with a serious expression.

"What's the bad news?" George, who was already worried about something when Mike stared at him seriously, felt guilty again for no reason.

"Actually, before I came, Mary also came to see you. And when she went back, she seemed in a bad mood." After making sure that the other party was mentally prepared, Mike told the bad news.

"What!" George was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

After a long time, he seemed to come to his senses and asked guiltily: "Is she okay now?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, she looked very angry when she went out..." Mike briefly recounted Mary's previous behavior.

"Then what was Connie's reaction?" George seemed to have misunderstood something. He seemed to have acquiesced to his "cheating" and everyone in his family knew about it.

"Grandma Connie is taking care of Mandy and the children at home, and they don't know about you and Brenda." Mike could see George's worry at a glance.

"It's okay~" His wife didn't loudly announce his stupid behavior, which made George feel relieved. At the same time, I felt even more guilty: "Do you know where Mary went? I need to give her an explanation and apology."

"Probably going to church." Mike pointed out the direction for George. Considering the other's physical condition, he asked one more question: "Do you need me to accompany you to find someone?"

Mary's activities are not large. Except for time at home, she works in the church most of the time, and occasionally goes to the big supermarket in town for shopping on weekends.

At this time, after she ran away from home, she most likely went to church.

"No need, I can do it myself." Knowing his wife's whereabouts, George was going to go find her alone and seek her forgiveness.
