Love Never Wilts in a Moment

Perhaps God had taken pity on her and restored her hearing.

Simon was still pretending to be a loving husband, but he did not know that Bertha had already learned about everything.

She knew what he had been doing at night over the past few days. She also knew that his love could not win against the temptation of lust.

Simon probably noticed that something was off about Bertha, so he left earlier with her.

When they got into the car, his phone began ringing. He took one look at the screen and signed to her that it was a call from his company. Then, he answered the phone right in front of her face.

Luna called Simon’s name sweetly. After he listened to her for about three minutes, he hung up and gave Bertha an apologetic look. “Sorry, Bertha. There’s a really urgent meeting in the company, and I need to go back to chair it.”

Bertha did not expose him. She just smiled and nodded. “Your company’s important. Go ahead and do your thing.”

Simon reached out to pat Bertha’s head, but she avoided him. He thought that she was still mad at him, just like how she had been when he left her to return to the “company.” But when he remembered what Luna just told him, he still chose to leave after a moment of hesitation. Before he did, he signed to Bertha that he was going to bring her a gift when he came back. “I’ll get the driver to send you back, and I’ll bring you a surprise at night.”

As she watched Simon leave into the distance, Bertha’s sadness turned into tears. She had heard the entire conversation.

Luna said that her family had arranged a blind date for her. Hence, Simon had left her behind so that he could go over to keep Luna by his side.

As for what he would do to achieve it? Bertha could already guess it.

Even so, she did not expect Simon to lie to her so blatantly. Just how many times had he delivered such blatant lies to her face?

She did not ask the driver to send her back home. Instead, she went to the shopping mall alone and bought a pen drive.

While she was on her way back, it started pouring. She stood at the entrance while she waited for a car, but suddenly, she received a video call from a stranger.

She knew who it was and chose to answer it.

The video was taken from a secluded angle, but Bertha could still immediately recognize the two people in the footage.

“Master, it hurts… Please stop hitting me…”

The red marks left on her skin by a leather whip were revealed before Bertha’s eyes. Then, she heard a familiar voice. “Shut up and swallow.”

She then heard the sound of clothes being torn apart, along with moans. Those sounds blended together with the pouring rain.

Bertha trembled nonstop. Then, as if her soul had left her body, she ran into the rain and let it soak her body through.

She felt like it was the only way she could get rid of those disgusting voices that were echoing in her ears.

When Bertha got home, she was drenched, and the maids were terrified. They quickly pushed her into the bathroom so that she could take a warm bath.

Simon received a message from them and came back. By then, Bertha was sitting in the living room while wrapped up in a blanket. The sight of her dejected expression made him kneel in front of her while he slapped himself twice.

“I won’t ever abandon you again, Bertha.”

Bertha was already sick of his promises. She could not even be bothered to expose him. In fact, she did not even look at him. “It’s fine. If it’s necessary for your job, I’m okay with it.”

A hint of regret flashed in Simon’s eyes.

“I won’t care about work anymore. Bertha, you’re the most important person to me.”

That night, Bertha started burning up, and Simon took care of her throughout the night.

Since she did not like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, he hired a private doctor. When she had no appetite, Simon looked through all sorts of recipe books for tasty, healthy meals.

The maids were envious of her relationship with Simon. But Bertha was the only one who knew that she would be abandoned in the huge house whenever night fell.

Luna posted new content on her Instagram every day, and Simon always showed up in every single one of her photos. Sometimes, it would be in the form of his arm. Sometimes, it would be his abs.

Tonight, Luna took a selfie as she lay on his chest. The caption read, [Wherever his love is, that is where he will be every night.]

Bertha zoomed in on the photo and saw the letter “B” tattooed on the spot right above his heart.

Simon had gotten that tattoo in secret during their first anniversary. He said that he would treasure her forever.

At this point, her heart had died a long time ago. With a stony expression, she liked the post.

So, a person could truly multitask, huh? He loved one woman while he slept with another one.

Soon, Luna sent her a message. [Bertha, how does it feel after listening to us making love? Earlier, he called me honey, and he did it so passionately. Everyone says that a man works during the day while he lives his life at night, right? He doesn’t love you anymore, and he only takes care of you during the day out of a sense of responsibility. I’m the one he truly loves. Why else would I be pregnant?

[You’re a smart person, and you should be aware of your place in Simon’s heart. I don’t think you know this, but I’ve been with Simon for more than a year. He says that you’re boring in bed. During the nights we’ve been together, we’ve tried more than one hundred styles in bed. Sometimes, if he’s addicted to a certain position, he might use it for an entire week.

[We’ve made love on the lawn you got engaged in, the theater where you had your first date, the first car he bought, and even your bedroom!

[I doubt that you know just how obsessed he is with me. I’m pregnant now. If you have any sense at all, pack up and leave. Otherwise, when the baby’s here, you’ll end up looking like a joke.]

Bertha quietly read through the messages. Meanwhile, Luna was getting impatient.

She was not only provoking Bertha, but she was also starting to send her all of her pictures with Simon.

She took them in places that were filled with memories of Bertha’s time together with him. While Simon remained in the pictures, the woman had changed, and the things they did were shameful.

[Bertha, I can’t believe you can still keep your composure. Have you not seen enough?]

Bertha turned off the screen, and her tears fell all over the phone.

At some point in time, she had started crying. She gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears. Even so, she still could not heal her wounded heart.

‘Simon, how could you?!

‘You said that you would be with me forever and that you would never betray me, but all of your promises are just lies!’
