Chapter 7

After Chelsea left, Leticia began smashing everything in the ward as though she had gone crazy. Her eyes now bloodshot, she made sure to smash everything that was within her line of sight. When Tristan opened the door, all he saw was a total mess in the ward. That, and the fact that Leticia was standing on glass shards with her feet bare, her bloodshot eyes glaring daggers at him. Panic took over his features in an instant. He rushed over immediately with the intention of pulling Leticia into his arms. The glass shards pierced through Leticia's bare feet, leaving smears of blood everywhere. But it was as though Leticia couldn't feel any physical pain at all. All she did was stare at Tristan numbly. This was Tristan's first time feeling this alarmed. His heart hurt so much that he thought it was about to shatter on the spot. He tried to hug Leticia, but she kept struggling against him. In fact, she kept gripping his arms tightly. Finally, she broke down in loud sobs. "I want to go home… Let me go home…" These were the first words Leticia said after one week of silence. Tristan was elated, to say the least. He responded by hugging Leticia tightly. "Okay! Let's go home, alright? I'll take you home right now!" Leticia could only slacken her grip on Tristan's arms helplessly. Tears continued to fall from her eyes. She had already lost her home a long time ago. She could no longer return to her actual home. Leticia had given up everything for Tristan's sake, so now, she didn't have a sanctuary of her own that she could call "home". She had no idea how she got this outcome in the end. Of course, she failed to understand the reason why everything was falling apart. Leticia and Tristan were deeply in love with each other, right? Everything was progressing well till the endgame. Their bright future lay ahead of them. If they continued down this path, they'd definitely achieve their happy ending. So, why did Tristan stop halfway down the path and choose to take another woman's hand instead? Once Tristan and Leticia got home, they saw Chelsea hanging out in the living room. She sat on the couch while drinking her favorite juice from her own mug as though she was the actual lady of the house. Leticia's expression darkened instantly. Her body now trembling, she turned to look at Tristan while doing her best to keep her emotions under control. "Tell her to leave. Right. Now." Tristan didn't expect Leticia to make such a request. He seemed to be hesitant. But Leticia was quick to interrupt him before he could come up with an excuse. "I'll leave if she doesn't leave." Tristan quickly held her in his arms nervously. "Nonsense! You're the lady of the house, Letty! Where else can you go if you leave our home?" After that, he turned to look at Chelsea. "Letty doesn't want you to stay here any longer. You should move out of this place." Chelsea didn't argue with Tristan. She merely shot him a glance before heading upstairs to grab her luggage. After that, she left. Once Leticia witnessed Chelsea leaving the mansion, she finally ascended the stairs. Then, she slammed the bedroom door behind her before locking herself inside the room. Triston knocked on the door gently, hoping to appease Leticia with his words. "Letty, why don't you tell me what's going on, hmm? Don't keep it to yourself. Haven't you always wanted to travel to Malbury? We'll take our private jet there. I can spend an entire month relaxing there with you. "Letty, I've whipped up your favorite honey-glazed pork ribs. Open the door and try them out. Come on, just one bite." But no matter what Tristan did—be it begging or coaxing—Leticia didn't say a word, nor did she acknowledge his presence. Poor Tristan was burning with anxiety. Leticia could hear his booming thoughts through the door clearly. [What on earth happened to Letty? She's not eating or drinking anything! What should I do if her health declines? I'm willing to do anything as long as Letty starts eating! [Oh, Letty… Are you trying to give me a heart attack?] Leticia leaned against the door before sliding downward weakly. Why? Why did Tristan still choose to betray and hurt her despite loving her with all his heart? Was it actually possible for a man to be in love with two women at the same time?
