I forced myself to suppress the trembling in my body, smiled as I accepted the milk and responded with gestures, "Okay, don’t stay up too late."
Vanessa obediently waved at me, her innocent and harmless demeanor making it hard for me to believe she could have an affair with my husband. Just as I turned around, Vanessa's piercingly sharp voice rang out.
"Jeremy, you're so bad! You even warm milk for this deaf woman. Hmph, you said I was the one you loved the most when we were in bed. Turns out, it was all lies."
I bit my lower lip tightly, refusing to turn around and expose the two of them in public triumphantly.
The faint metallic taste in my mouth kept pulling me back to reality.
Jeremy laughed triumphantly.
"Little seductress, are you jealous over a glass of milk? Alright, alright, I put sleeping pills in the milk, so no one will disturb our fun."
Hearing this, I stumbled and almost spilled the milk in my hand.
Vanessa noticed something was off.
"Jeremy... could Gracie have heard us?"
I pretended to stay calm, though cold sweat ran down my back as I kept walking forward. Afraid they would suspect me, I pretended to take a sip of the milk.
