My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 76

People gathered for gossip, but what Richard said stunned them all. And they choked on the news.

It became so quiet on the 20th floor. They could hear each other's breathing.

What just happened? What did Mr. Carter say? Amy was his wife. Damn. Had they offended Amy?

Allison was the first one to be pulled back to reality. She slowly walked to Richard.

"Richard, what's going on? Why did you say that? Don't you know it will break my heart?" Tears fell from her face like raindrops.

"Allison, I'm telling the truth. Amy is my wife. I've married." Richard couldn't keep doing this. He couldn't have both. He had to choose the one that he actually fell for.

Allison cried out, covered her face and ran away.

The next second, the crowd dispersed. No one dared to gossip about their president. Now only Amy, Hannah, Hilary and Richard were left on the 20th floor.

Amy hadn't figured out what was going on. Did she mishear?

"Thank you." Amy walked to Richard. She thought that he was lying to save her.

"I got to go. You guys take care of Amy." Richard was afraid that something would happen to Allison, so he chased after her.

"What happened just now? Hilary, Hilary Carter, are you Richard's sister?" Hannah finally got it.

"That's not my fault. I'm afraid that you won't hang out with me if you know about it." Hilary secretly looked at Amy.

Amy looked calm and walked into the office with the lunchboxes. Hannah and Hilary followed behind her, not daring to say anything.

Amy put the lunchboxes on her desk, but she had no appetite.

She sat on the chair in a daze. Hannah and Hilary also sat down.

"Amy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you," Hilary whispered.

"Leave me alone." Amy didn't want to talk to them. She asked them to leave and stayed alone in the office.

Amy had to sort out her thoughts. Richard was just joking, right? He didn't marry her. He had no reason to do that. Since they met, they hadn’t got along with each other. Why did he marry her?

Did it embarrass him to marry her? Richard didn't want to see her. They even signed a marriage contract for two years. That was to say that she should divorce him and make room for Allison in a year and a half.

Now the good impression her mysterious husband left on her had gone. Richard was thinking about another woman and loved another woman. Perhaps Richard married her just for the sexual needs.

Amy's face felt cold. She touched it and found that it was covered with tears.

She pulled a tissue and wiped away her tears. Then she opened the lunchboxes. Her father had a surgery and was still recovering, so she could not divorce Richard unless he proposed.

It seemed that Richard would divorce her soon. He loved Allison, so he wouldn't leave her in that awkward position for long.

Anyway, Amy should eat something now. No matter what happened, she must fill her stomach. This was how her father taught her since she was a kid.

Amy ate a lot, trying to squeeze those memories out with food. She only wanted to remember these delicacies.

But after lunch, worries piled up in her heart again. She didn't want to leave Richard. But she wanted dignity, so she had to ignore that thought.

Then Amy went home. She couldn't work here anymore. She didn't want people to talk about her all the time.

Robin was surprised that Amy came home early. Why didn't she tell him that she was free in the afternoon? He could pick her up.

"Robin, about Mr. Carter. It is his real surname, right?" Amy put away her things and asked Robin.

"Yeah." Robin found Amy strange today.

"Richard Carter?" asked Amy.

Amy suddenly asked him about Mr. Carter's full name. Robin didn't know how to answer it.

"Yeah. Mrs. Carter, why do you ask?" Robin felt that Amy was a little off today.

"He told me everything. This bracelet belongs to the woman who marries into his family. But Robin, have you forgotten that our marriage will only last two years? It has been three months. So, I'll leave after one year and nine months. Why bother giving me this bracelet?" Amy took off the bracelet and handed it to Robin.

"Mrs. Carter, Cathy gave it to you. And you can only return it to her. I don't know how to explain to her if you give it to me." Robin immediately took his hand back.

"Alright, I'll give it back myself." Amy had known everything, but she felt miserable. She knew that Richard was her husband, but she was not happy about it.

Amy even got a headache. She went upstairs and wanted to sleep for a while. She did not know what to do now.

"Amy, are you alright? I'm almost recovered. Maybe I can go back to see you in a few days." Stephen, who was abroad, happened to call Amy and told her that he got better.

"Dad, Dad, I miss you so much. I really miss you." When Amy heard her father's voice, her tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I miss you too. Honey, I'm sorry that you have a tough time." Stephen was also wiping away his tears.

His daughter and son-in-law were so good that they had found a suitable heart for him. Now, Stephen was a healthy man.

Stephen still did not know that Matt had dumped Amy and ruined her life.

Amy chatted with Stephen for a while before hanging up. Stephen was coming back, so Amy was thinking if she should call her aunt.

After all, her aunt had been living in her mother's place.

Stephen had been ill for so long, but her aunt had never come to see him. Moreover, she didn't even call Amy in the past three months.

Where could Stephen stay when he came back? Their houses were are all mortgaged. Amy couldn't let him live on the streets. And she couldn't take him to this villa, either. She would leave soon. That was a big problem.
