Chapter 54 Mallory's Unexpected Apology

• William Blake waited anxiously as the phone rang. When it was finally answered, he was about to speak but heard the voice of Isabella Parker instead: "Hello? Who is this? Mallory's uncle... Oh, I see, Mallory has already gone to bed. You should call again tomorrow."
• Blake felt a twinge of disappointment, but thinking about the little girl who had drunkenly texted him an apology, he found her too adorable and was cheered up again. Just as he hung up, Shayla called out from the living room: "Blake, what are you up to?"
• To a husband, a concubine is dearer, and to a concubine, a secret lover is even more precious; men have been the same since ancient times—the woman on the outside is always better than the one at home. William Blake was no exception, finding Shayla more and more of a nuisance, far more than his ex-wife, Jane.
