Chapter 173: There Were More

Marcella had fallen asleep by the time they reached home. Tony parked the car in the courtyard and alighted from the car. He thought of carrying her inside but she woke up just as he closed the car door.

Marcella was groggy. Tony opened the car door for her. "Need a lift?" he asked.

He reached for her zipper and that awakened Marcella. "Tony!" she clutched her dress.

She still couldn’t believe that she did "that" in the middle of the road. She was so jealous, that she did that without thinking twice.

How uncouth! Not at all lady-like!

"Zipper’s not...up," he smiled cheekily. "I don’t mind it. I told you thinking you would care. If you don’t then..." He shrugged and turned to leave. He couldn’t control his smile.

"Please," Marcella held his hand. "Help me..."

Tony leaned and kissed her. She was flushed after the intense workout they had done earlier. Her eyes were shimmering in the warm lights and her lips were a little swollen.

She looks the best each time after they get intimate. He must be still high in excitement but in his opinion, she was the prettiest after sex. Every single time. She was also the prettiest when she dolled up for him, and at times when she pouted, also when she let him rest on her lap, when she cooked for him when she got mad at him for not putting his clothes in the laundry basket, even when she would sip on the wine watching TV, she would be the prettiest.

Oh, who was he kidding? She was the prettiest always.

Marcella jumped out of the car and fixed her clothes. Her skirt was tangled and picking up his gift, she walked in. She still hadn’t had a good look of the necklace. Mary welcomed her at the foyer.

"Joey is fast asleep, Mrs. Crawford," Mary said.

"That’s great. You can sleep here if you want, Mary. It’s already late. Or if you want to go home, I can arrange for~"

"No, I’ve already informed my husband that I am staying the night, Mrs. Crawford. He was happy I won’t be home. I bet he would be fast asleep by now," Mary said with a wink.

Marcella hugged Mary. "His loss," she kissed her cheek.

Mary has been a great support for her. She was in her mid-fifties and her grandkids were all in different states. She was bored to stay at home alone and was more than glad to take care of Joey and the house. Marcella was grateful for Mary. She had a lot of experience with life and was a mother-figure to her.

"You had a fun night then?" Mary asked.

Marcella smiled. Her smile said everything.

"Good for you, Mrs. Crawford!" Mary grinned widely. She was happy for Marcella.

"You go to bed. It’s late. Tony will lock the door," Marcella urged Mary to get some rest.

"I will," Mary smiled.

Marcella climbed up the stairs. She smiled seeing Mary still in the foyer. Mary is just a little too diligent at times. She could slack off a bit.

Marcella went to the bedroom and was taken aback. Everything in the room was cleaned. She even smelled bleach.

She sighed. Tony must have asked for a deep clean.

Does he despise Beth that much?

She checked on Joey and he was deeply asleep. She wanted to kiss his chubby cheeks but didn’t want to accidentally wake him up; he wouldn’t sleep if he woke up in the middle of the night. Picking up her nightwear, she went to the bathroom.

Tony got inside after parking the car in the garage. Mary was standing there. "Mrs. Crawford is upstairs," she said.

He nodded at her. Mary followed him to the kitchen.

"Did you find something?" Tony asked. Mary got something from the kitchen drawer.

"I kept these here..." she held out her hand.

Tony furrowed his brows looking at the thick stack of papers. There were at least five or six photographs in her hand. He didn’t dare to touch it.

"Were there more?" he asked, his face twisting out of disgust.

"You found something, Mr. Crawford?" Mary asked. She thought these were all but Tony’s reaction said otherwise.

"Are these all-naked pictures too?" Tony asked.

Mary nodded. Tony let out a sigh and ran his fingers through his hair. He was so mad he wanted to cuss but he held back. Then it dawned on him.

"Does Marcella know, Mary?" he asked.

"No, Sir," Mary shook her head. "I brought it to you first."

Seeing Tony’s expression. Mary continued. "I have a reason. Mrs. Crawford might be one of the strongest women I know, but she is a little insecure around you."

"Around me?" Tony asked. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. She was more confident than ever; that’s what she’d been telling him and that’s what he believed.

Why was Mary telling a different story?

Now it was his confidence that got shaken. M

"She’s not very open about it but... I can read between the lines. Each month she’s..." Mary let out a deep breath. "She’s depressed about not getting pregnant. The other day she asked me if she was good for you. She felt like she was not as lovely as Gloria or as beautiful as Beth. Showing this to her... I don’t know what your intentions towards this woman is..." her eyes ended up on the photograph.

"I have no intention toward-" Tony sighed. "I am married to Marcella. Marcella! Do you know who Marcella is? Why would I... Who can be compared to my Marcella? What does this kind of woman have that my Birdie doesn’t have? She’s a vile whore. Why would I want to have anything to do with a hot bag of sh*t when I have an angel on my bed?"

He couldn’t believe that people around him doubted him. Couldn’t they see his love? Is he that unexpressive? Why would no one believe that he could love?

"Give that!" he plucked the photographs from her hand. He will let Marcella decide. He did not find this right. Others may think they know his wife but only he knows her the best.

If Marcella doubted him, then he will think of what to do next.

He almost reached the stairs when Mary grabbed him.

"Please, sir. Stop!"
