Chapter 112: Crawling Into My Bed
Clifford and Sanya didn’t stay long. After some tea and conversation, they bid farewell. Rain, feeling unsettled, retreated to her bedroom and lacked the energy to cook dinner as planned. She was emotionally drained by Sanya’s continued silence.
Later, as Rain was called for dinner, she remained subdued. Afterward, while Alexander excused himself to handle other matters, her father-in-law, Rock Lancaster, approached her with concern.
"Rain, are you alright?" Rock asked gently.
"I’m fine, Father. Just feeling a bit sad," Rain admitted.
Rock guided her to the living area and invited her to sit. "Do you want to talk about it?" he offered.
Rain’s eyes welled up, and she began to cry. "I don’t know why I’m crying. I’m sorry," she said, her voice choked with emotion.
Rock placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I think I understand. You’re hurt by your friend’s actions. She hasn’t confessed to you yet, has she?" he guessed, and Rain nodded in agreement.
Rain was no longer surprised that Rock or even Alexander knew about the truth behind her marriage. After all, Rock was part of GIS and technically Brandon’s boss. And Alexander, undoubtedly, had his own contacts within GIS.
"I can’t believe that after all these years, she hasn’t been honest with me," Rain said, her voice trembling. "I understand she might be scared of my reaction, but it’s not like I would stay angry forever. Even though the situation may have worked out, it’s wrong that she didn’t consult me first. Now she probably knows I’m aware, but she’s still keeping silent."
