Jackson went upstairs, trying to find out what happened to Aaron. He wondered why they could end up with a fight.
As soon as Jackson entered the room, he saw Aaron's shirt on the ground. He raised his head and took a look at the bathroom. Then he picked up the shirt silently. He was a neat freak, and could not see other people in a mess.
When he was about to put Aaron's shirt on the chair next to him, he saw the red lipstick on the shirt. Surprised, he turned over the collar.
Now he understood why Irene had cried so sadly
He signed and threw the shirt back onto the ground and exclaimed, "What a misfortune..."
Irene looked out of the car window and calmed down, but she still felt very aggrieved.
A taxi arrived at the destination. Looking at the number plate which Jackson told her, Helen hastily walked up to it.
Standing beside the car door, Helen watched Irene pay the bill and get off. When Irene looked up, Helen was taken aback. "Oh my God! Who dares to drive you like this? !"
Irene was also stunned when she saw Helen. "Why are you here..."
Irene's make-up had been tousled, and her cheeks were black and blue. Her eyes were swollen from crying. In a word, her condition was terrible.
Helen looked admiringly at the taxi which turned around and left.
Irene wouldn't be able to go home in this condition. Glancing over the whole place, Helen pulled her to sit on a bench and looked down at her. "Wait a moment. I'm going to buy some water. You need to wipe your face..." she said.
Irene nodded her head unconsciously.
Looking at Irene, Helen sighed. She thought to herself, 'When she left, she was so passionate. Now, she is just like a soulless puppet.'
Helen patted Irene on the shoulder and turned to the opposite 24-hour convenience store.
When Helen came back, she remembered to call Jackson to tell him everything was fine and that he would not be worried anymore.
Jackson glanced at Aaron's room and said in a low voice, "Well... You'd better comfort Irene and make her believe in Aaron. Don't think too much."
Helen guessed what Jackson meant. Giving a glance at Irene with vacant eyes, Helen asked in a low voice, "did Aaron cheat on Irene?"
Hearing this, Jackson frowned.
"Didn't you hear me? Irene misunderstood Aaron." After thinking for a while, he added, "Even if you don't believe Aaron, you have to believe me."
This was the last card he could play against Helen.
As expected, on hearing his words, Helen smiled and said, "Of course I believe you!"
Jackson was finally relieved and said, "Then please persuade Irene not to think nonsense."
"Uh huh," Helen replied. She thought for a while and added, "This is the second time that Aaron has irritated Irene. He can't do anything to make her angry."
"…… I know it."
"You mean you saw a woman's lip print on Aaron's clothes?" Helen said seriously.
Helen figured that this was the reason why they quarreled. It could be the reason. But Helen wondered if she could believe Jackson. Did Aaron really not cheat on Irene?
Irene nodded listlessly.
"What did he say?"
Irene took up the bottle water and took a sip of water to moisten her throat before she said, "He said that the woman came to meet him herself, but usually he was far away from other women. How could it be possible that the woman approached him so casually?"
Looking at Irene's face, Helen said carefully, "So you suspect that Aaron has cheated you? Have an affair?"
Irene nodded her head and then shook her head. She didn't know what to say. Maybe Aaron didn't lie to her. But who was that woman? How could she be so close to Aaron? That was why she was angry!
Now, she suddenly felt that Aaron was far away from her. Except for his name and photo on the marriage certificate, she seemed to know nothing about him.
And she was afraid that Aaron would be bored with her because of her mother.
Noticing that Irene was in a dilemma, Helen didn't know what to say. She turned around and handed a wet tissue to Irene, saying, "You clean it first. If your mother sees you now, you will not know how to explain."
Irene took the tissue obediently and started to wipe her face.
Looking at her face turning white gradually, Helen felt a little more comfortable. She didn't know what to say to look at her face just now. She looked very pale with two dark circles under the moonlight.
