Chapter 109
Hearing Daryl's name from Mike's mouth, Trixie's heart seemed to collapse but, in order not to make Mike suspicious, she smiled to hide her embarrassment.
"That's the name of your high school classmate that also joined? His wife agreed?"
"I can't tell you this because this is somebody else's privacy, and it's not good to say it casually."
As if aware that Trixie was setting her words, Mike quickly closed his mouth and changed the subject. "In short, although those two have no children now, they are happy. I strongly suggest that you persuade your husband to give it a try."
Mike's phrase "no children" instantly aroused Trixie's suspicion.
Although Kinsley didn't exist at Daryl's birthday party at that time, it had been so long that he should guessed that Daryl already had a child.
Moreover, Daryl had telephone contact with Mike not long ago. Didn't old classmates say and ask if they have children when they happen to have a conversation? Mike's words made Trixie think strange.
"Then I'll try to tell him, he should be willing."
"Right, how do you know you can't accept some things without trying?"
"Is there any fixed place in the club? There is no such thing as nothing but online contact, is there anything I can do?"
Trixie continuously trying to ask Mike about the club, but he just ignored the question.
"You will know when you submit your application. It is useless to know so much now."
"I have the right to know the basic information of the club, why don't you allow me to know even in a small thing? It's not a trivial matter, so casually what if it's a lie?"
Mike smiled and calmly said, "We also want to think of others, and you are not the only couple to serve. You are worried about being cheated, and I am also worried that you will expose us if I tell too much information. Everyone has their own concerns. Besides, our club is voluntary and has not strongly demanded any couple. But I also understand your thoughts. If you want to know anything, you can ask me but not too much. I will tell something for our friendship."
Trixie was waiting for his words.
"I want to know, if you join in and quit, will the oath video be made public?"
Mike hesitated and asked Trixie warily, "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm curious. Since you said that participating in this later period will improve the relationship between husband and wife, why they stay in the club since it has improved? Isn't this a cuckold on your head?"
Trixie's metaphor made Mike laugh. He said, "We have been talking for so long. Since you want to know, I will tell you that I usually don't tell people about this kind of thing. If you want to quit, you have to take the money back to buy the oath video. The price is not small than you think."
"Tens of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands?"
"Hundreds of thousands."
"So? It's really not a small amount." Trixie smiled and lost the desire to continue talking to him. "It happens that my husband is coming back soon. I will persuade him again at night and then give you an answer."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your update."
A decisive phone call made Trixie collapse on the sofa and throw her mobile phone aside.
There are many loopholes in Mike's words about Daryl which made Trixie not trust him. Suddenly, Trixie remembered what she said when she was with Dr. Roberts.
Was that "taboo love" club really just a gimmick to collect money? When Trixie deeply thought about it, she was suddenly lost. If that's the case, did she want to find out whether Daryl had entered the club?
At that time, Trixie's mind was in a mess.
Daryl came back with Kinsley in the evening. When he entered the door, he rapidly turned on the light. It happened that he saw Trixie sitting restlessly on the sofa in a daze.
"What's the matter, honey? Are you uncomfortable?"
Daryl closed the door and put down his fishing gear. He hurriedly walked toward Trixie and reached out to touch her forehead.
"You have no fever, Honey, is there something wrong?"
"No, I have a stomachache during my period."
Trixie casually found an excuse to prevaricate. When she looked up, she suddenly smelled the perfume on Daryl's t-shirt. Trixie was a little familiar with that fragrance. She seemed to have smelled it before.
She thought about it carefully, wasn't that the perfume she smelled on Erin before? Erin also sent her a bottle, which she kept in their house without using.
That day, Daryl took Kinsley out fishing, not in the company, so, it was impossible to contact Erin. But also, there was another possibility that Daryl went to find Erin.
The thought about Erin that had been married to Frank and did not forget to be involved with Daryl immediately gave birth to annoyance.
She pushed Daryl away and went directly into the room to lock the door without saying a word. Daryl was puzzled by her unusual behavior.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, smelled his cuffs, and instantly his face changed. Trixie stayed in the room, trying to stop herself from crying. She didn't know how long this day would last.
She wanted to divorce Daryl, but she couldn’t give up her nine-years relationship with him. What's more, she had no evidence to prove that Daryl did have an affair.
So far, she's just skeptical. But such daily speculation really made her unbearable. Again and again, it's like an endless cycle.
Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Jessa who called. The line was just connected, when Trixie was about to speak, she heard Jessa was crying on the other side of the phone.
"Trixie, I... I was cheated!"
She kept crying and said nothing. Trixie was worried while listening to her sob.
"Speak slowly, what happened?"
"Didn't I join that club with Rick? That club is a scam! They just want to earn a refund!"
"Earn a refund?"
"At the beginning of joining them, they said they didn't need a membership fee, just a copy and a video, even if they quit the club, they can return at will. Recently, Rick has converged a lot, so we want to quit. As a result, the person in charge threatened us with a copy and the video..."
Although Jessa didn't say what video it was, Trixie could guess without thinking that nothing could threaten people except for the video of the swearing-in ceremony.
It's just Trixie didn't expect Jessa and Rick do that kind of thing.
"What did he threaten you?"
"800,000! He wants 800,000! If we don't give it or call the police, he will make the video public!"
"You calm down first."
In that situation, there was no other way but to call the police. However, Jessa was worried about the other party's public video and refused to listen to Trixie to call the police.
No way, Trixie could only find her first. When Trixie got dressed and took the key to leave, Daryl just cooked the meal and came out of the kitchen.
Seeing Trixie ready to go out, he couldn't help but ask, "It's time to eat, honey. Where are you going?"
"Jessa's family has an accident.. I'll go and have a look."
