Chapter 38 1 No Longer Eat Fish
Chapter 38
I looked at him. “Try this. It’s my favorite,” he said impassively.
I glanced at the fish before eating something else. Liam continued, “Why do
you know I like these dishes?”
I pretended I did not hear his question.
The dining hall was silent again.
As soon as I relaxed a little, Liam suddenly reached over and clenched my
chin.
I was forced to look at him. “I’m asking you a question,” he said menacingly.
“I asked around,” I answered in a soft voice, “From the people in your office.”
Liam frowned. “Why did you want to know?”
I averted his gaze. “I used to love you.”

Liam stared at me and said nothing.
It seemed that he was not satisfied with my answer, so I continued to
elaborate, “I used to love you, but I didn’t know how to get closer to you, so l
went to ask around about the things you like…”
Before I finished, he let go of me and leaned back on the chair.
He closed his eyes and massaged his forehead. Evidently, he was holding
back his anger.

I dared not make another sound, and I prepared to kick my chair away and
run.
Some time later, Liam lit up a cigarette, and the choking fumes spread
throughout the dining hall. He seemed like he was in control of his emotions
crore, and he looked at me.

I looked at him and said nothing.

“Why don’t you feel any shame at all?” he said while frowning, as though ho
had heard something disgusting. “Why did you say it so matter–of–factly?”
Why should I be ashamed? I did not hurt him.

I said nothing but instead lowered my head and pretended to look ashamed.
I was not going to argue with him. He could think whatever he wanted.
After a long silence, he said, “Don’t just sit there. Eat.”
I picked up my fork to take an artichoke, but he said, “Eat the fish.”
He did not sound angry, but his voice was as cold as ever.
I was frightened, and my hand trembled. The artichoke fell back into the
plate.
Suddenly, I felt weak. I put my fork down and said, “I don’t know how to pick
the bones.”

Liam chuckled, but I did not allow him to say anything that could hurt me.

“I never knew how to pick out bones from a fish. It’s like I was never born with
the skill. When I was younger, I choked on fishbones several times, and I even
had to go to the hospital.”
I looked him in the eye. “I know fish can be delicious, but it only brought me
agony. I stopped eating fish a long time ago.”
Liam did not speak. He leaned back on his chair and looked at me with a
withering gaze.
He must understand what I was trying to tell him. I continued, “I still have
some savings under my name, and I can give it all to you. I hope you can
seric sly consider divorce. You’re young and accomplished, and you still
have your life ahead of you…”
I took a deep breath and tried hard to stop my tears from falling. “I’ve already

received what I deserve.”
He hated me, though I thought the hatred was absolutely absurd.
To him, my illness was my retribution, even though he did not know about it
yet.
After I said my piece, Liam remained silent.
I guessed he was seriously considering it. The past few times I mentioned it,
he rejected the idea immediately.
After a long time, he finally spoke again. “Eat the fish.”
I was about to speak when he added, “I’ll help you pick the bones.”

The latter half of dinner felt very surreal. Liam picked out the bones of the fish
for me, while I only had to eat.
He did not torment me, and I did not mention the divorce again.

The rest of the meal was eaten in silence.
He slept in the cramped guest room with me again tonight. Maybe it was
because his room was filled with Rina’s belongings.
He was obviously tired, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.
Without him tormenting me, the night passed in the blink of an eye.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt something heavy on my chest. I
opened my eyes to see Liam sleeping on top of me.
His eyes remained closed, though half of his body was on me, and he rested
his forehead next to my head. He looked like a child hugging a doll.
I did not move or make a sound.
Liam was handsome. He was not too feminine or too masculine.
When he was awake, he was stern and domineering. Anyone who spoke to

him would feel nervous.
Now that he was asleep, he looked harmless and gentle.

It was the first time I gazed at his sleeping face. I would have been ecstatic if
this happened before.
I did not know what to feel now.
I guessed I did not love him anymore.
I continued gazing at him while my mind wandered. Eventually, I yawned and
closed my eyes, preparing to sleep again.
Liam’s body suddenly moved.
He would always jump into action, and he would tear into my wounds that
had not healed.
I shuddered involuntarily when I thought about the intense agony.

However, things were different today.
He was gentle and slow, as though he cared about my body.
I gradually relaxed and took in this new sensation.
It felt like I was swimming in the clouds.

I was fully immersed in this dream–like experience when I heard Liam speak,
“Vivienne.”
He leaned close to my left ear and whispered, “Do you pretend you’re so
innocent whenever you sleep with other men?”
I pretended that I did not hear him.
Aft ne deed was done, Liam went into the bathroom to take a shower. I
took the opportunity to take my medicine, and I realized it was already nine
o’clock.

Llam was a workaholic. He would depart for his office before six o’clock.

I soon found out the reason he did not go to work today. When Mrs. Crawford
took a pot pie from the oven, I realized it was Christmas day.
Liam would usually take a week off work on Christmas day, during which he
would go somewhere.
I did not know where he went, and his secretary did not tell me.
I guessed he would be gone right after breakfast.
I felt relieved when I thought about that.
Liam suddenly said, “Go pack up after breakfast. I’m bringing you to the
hospital.”
Goosebumps rose again. “Am I inspecting… that again?”
When will he give it up?

Liam glanced at me and subconsciously tightened his grip on his cutlory.
“Get your left ear checked,” he said coldly.
I went to my room to change my clothes after breakfast. While I was
combing my hair, Auntie Sidney came to tell me that Liam was already
waiting in the car.
I put on my jacket, went to the car, and knocked on the window. Liam rolled
down the window and looked at me impassively.
“I couldn’t hear for two days, but my ear is fine now,” I said.
I had to continue Chris‘ lie.
“Alright then. Answer the question I asked this morning,” he said.
How was I to answer that question?
