Part 4: A Wife's Pain

Sex is a natural human instinct. In other words, our brains are designed to be sexually oriented. For a long time, Dorian Valdez thought that sex was unnecessary and that it would affect his work. But since that night, everything has changed.

Wilfred Doyle, the partner he signed a contract with half a year ago, helped him realize that sex not only does not hinder his work but also helps him relieve stress. Since then, it's not often, but at least Dorian Valdez will relieve his sexual needs once or twice a week.

Dorian Valdez is a great businessman. He has money and a reputation, so there is no shortage of girls who want to have sex with him. However, the girls that Dorian Valdez chose as his sexual object did not include his wife, although he himself admitted that Lucy Qualls was always the most beautiful. Simply, for him, Lucy Qualls is not a “girl.”

From that point of view, Dorian Valdez does not feel sorry for Lucy Qualls. Everything to him was nothing more than a contract. There were even times when he was immersed in pleasure, Dorian Valdez thought he was wrong in choosing a man as his fake marriage partner. But things are now unlikely to change, because Dorian Valdez's father, Sterling Valdez, is very satisfied with his daughter-in-law. Every time Sterling Valdez visited, Dorian Valdez had to play the role of “good husband” that he didn't want at all!

It is not difficult to understand that Sterling Valdez highly appreciates Lucy Qualls. She is a beautiful, gentle, polite person who cooks very well and is very sophisticated. With an ordinary wife, just owning one of the above has been treated by her husband as a treasure. Yet, never once in her life did Lucy Qualls receive love from her husband. Not to mention, Dorian Valdez also hates Lucy Qualls's sophistication, which he sees as “seeing through what he hides.”

Half a year after Dorian Valdez started having sex on a regular basis, Lucy Qualls noticed, even though the number of times she saw him was still as few as before. While doing laundry for her husband, Lucy Qualls discovered a faint lipstick stain on his shirt. At that moment, she felt quite shocked!

Long ago, Lucy Qualls threw away her past self. She accepted the life of a girl, a wife without whining. Even if Dorian Valdez never took her seriously, she still considered him a husband, not just in name. She said that Dorian Valdez helped her a lot by providing enough money for her to take care of her elderly parents. Therefore, not once did Lucy Qualls blame Dorian Valdez for not seeing her as a wife, not being close to her, not having sex with her. She understood his mood. She believes that Dorian Valdez has always considered himself a guy. All resentment gives way to silent sadness.

A wife is also possessive in her own way. Lucy Qualls accepts that Dorian Valdez does not consider her his wife because she knows he is devoted to work and has never been with any girl. But now, everything has changed. She knew Dorian Valdez had started seeing other girls. That is an immense pain for a simple wife like her!

That day, Lucy Qualls cried a lot. She didn't want to eat anything, so she didn't cook. Unfortunately, that night, Dorian Valdez returned home. When he saw her not preparing a meal, he scolded her for being useless, only knowing how to take money and not being able to do anything real. Dorian Valdez absolutely did not see when the corners of her eyes had turned red.

One day, while going to the supermarket to buy necessities and cooking ingredients, Lucy Qualls accidentally met someone she never expected. Lucy Qualls recognized her, but she didn't know who Lucy Qualls was. That person was laughing and talking happily with her husband and son. They passed by Lucy Qualls, seeing her as a stranger they had never known.

That woman is Selena. More than six years ago, she was Lucas Qualls' girlfriend. Now, she has a warm and happy family. Lucy Qualls has no reason to blame Selena for not recognizing her because the current girl is no longer similar to the guy Lucas Qualls was before. However, seeing Selena's happy family, Lucy Qualls felt a deep sadness in her heart!

She wondered, if she had made a different choice that day, would the person walking alongside Selena now be her? She wondered, did she feel sad because the girl she once loved was holding hands with another man? After a moment of contemplation, Lucy Qualls found the answer. Actually no! She is happy because the person she once loved is living a fulfilling life. That man gave Selena a smile that Lucy Qualls had never given her before. On any path of destiny, Selena's best path is always a life without Lucy Qualls by her side.

If so, why did she feel sad? This is pure jealousy. Lucy Qualls is jealous because Selena has something she doesn't have, a happy family, a husband who cares about her. She tormented herself: What would her efforts to become a perfect woman - a perfect wife, yield in return?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day, three years after Lucy Qualls accidentally saw Selena's family, Dorian Valdez said to her: “Even though you are a useless person, I recognize your cooking talent. Coming up is the anniversary of the founding of VoltVision electronics company. That evening, I wanted to invite a few of my friends and business partners here for a small party. I want you to prepare everything carefully. But you absolutely must not show your face to anyone. Stay in the kitchen and answer me every time I call. Do you understand?”

Lucy Qualls nodded: “Yes, I understand.”

That day, everything went according to plan. After a solemn celebration held at the company, Dorian Valdez led some of his friends and partners home. Lucy Qualls was in the kitchen, without showing her face, loudly greeting everyone. Her voice was as clear as a nightingale's, making the guests fascinated, wishing they could see her face. They all knew that the relationship between Dorian Valdez and his wife was not really good, so they did not wonder why Lucy Qualls did not show her face.

Long years of practicing her skills help Lucy Qualls' cooking skills be on par with those of a professional chef. She used to be an ordinary guy, unrecognizable when standing in a crowd. Everything she has now comes from effort, there is no such thing as “talent” here. That meal, the guests all praised it as delicious. Dorian Valdez is also not proud when others praise his wife. For him, that is what he has to get when he spends money in exchange.

In the middle of the party, Wilfred Doyle asked everyone for permission to go outside to smoke. He lit a cigarette under a tree. By chance, at this position, he briefly saw the silhouette of Lucy Qualls in the distance. She is sorting waste behind the kitchen. From the moment he saw Lucy Qualls, Wilfred Doyle's heart skipped a beat!

Like Dorian Valdez, Wilfred Doyle is also a man who does not lack money. He has been in contact with many different girls, including famous actresses. Wilfred Doyle's wife is also a very beautiful woman. However, at this moment, he felt that the beauty of those girls was completely overshadowed by Lucy Qualls.

In fact, Lucy Qualls is not necessarily more beautiful than those other girls. She is the type of person who can only see her beauty when you pay attention to her. That's why Lucy Qualls doesn't get stared at by others every time she goes to the supermarket (actually, she does, but she never notices). Wilfred Doyle paid attention to her because he was also curious about his wife through Dorian Valdez's story. He wasn't sure why Dorian Valdez hated his wife. Is it because she's not very good-looking?

But today, Wilfred Doyle realized he was wrong. He became confused for another reason: “Is Dorian Valdez a crazy man? He neglected his beautiful wife and had an affair with other girls!”
