Chapter 7
Just as I was about to leave, Cynthia opened the door before me and looked at the mess
on the floor.
I pushed her away and pressed the elevator button.
Keith chased after me but was stopped by
Cynthia.
“Ruby! Do you have someone new? Otherwise, why don’t you even want your son?”
I watched the elevator number approaching little by little.
“Don’t think that just because you are used to cheating, everyone is the same as you.”
Keith pushed Cynthia away and was about to pull me up, but Cynthia grabbed his sleeve tightly. “Keith, it’s not worth it.
I entered the elevator and the moment the

elevator door closed, I heard Keith‘ s almost roaring voice, “Cynthia, who do you think you are, stopping me from finding my wife?!”
Oh…
The whole company knew the relationship. between Keith and Cynthia.
Now, Keith had torn his face and Cynthia
was afraid that it would be difficult for her.
I sent a fake text message to Keith: [Hey, Keith, don’t treat your mistress like this. She will be sad.]
Then I whistled out of the company in a good mood.
In the days without Keith, I went to the bookstore to help every day.
The barista‘ s humor always made me laugh.
Every day, looking at the young faces coming and going in the bookstore, I would
always make some handmade things for

them.
Hearing their heartfelt gratitude, my mood gradually improved.
I felt refreshed.
It turned out that the minor problems I had with Keith had not appeared for a long time.
I was immersed in the joy of crocheting every day.
I heard that Yolanda was very happy and invited Cynthia to come to her house for dinner every day.
In order to please them, Cynthia cooked in various ways.
Unfortunately, Keith ate less and less and vomited as soon as he ate.
He had the same symptoms as me at that time.
When I finished crocheting the barista‘ s doll and was ready to give it to him, Keith

appeared.
He held a doll that looked like him. I knew
it was the first doll I crocheted for him. when I first became addicted to crocheting.
He was in extremely bad condition, with unshaven beard and long–uncut nails. He held the doll as if he was a child showing off his toys.
He looked pale, with sunken cheeks and hair covering his eyes. I didn’t react for at
moment.
He started to chatter at me. He said his
parents had brought him and Cynthia together, but he didn’t like a weak person
like her.
He said when we rented a house, we would go home hand in hand every day.
He said he dreamed of Coco that day, but he accidentally lost Coco, just like he lost
- me.
He said he missed me very much.

I didn’t stop moving and even felt annoyed. I turned up the volume of my headphones silently to cover his voice.
I quietly called Cynthia, hoping that she would take the psychopath away as soon as possible.
Cynthia appeared in front of us and grabbed Keith’s hand, but was thrown away by Keith.
“Cynthia, who are you? You destroyed the relationship between me and my wife. Your are a piece of trash.”
He turned his head to look at me, wiping his fingers with a wet towel over and over again. “Ruby, I didn’t touch her, I m not dirty.”
I was immersed in the world of music, watching his mouth open and close like a frog and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Cynthia‘ s sobbing, accompanied by Keith’s soliloquy, mixed with my laughter.

Finally, the security guard couldn’t stand it anymore and took the two away.
The barista looked at me in amazement.
“Where did the psycho come from, but what he said was really touching, did you hear it?”
I took off my headphones and looked at
him with a smile.
“What did you hear? Frogs croaking?”
Then the two laughed.
The owner heard that someone came to
harass me and affect business, so he
arranged a young and strong security guard.
We often played cards in the house when
there were no customers.
They always talked a lot about college.
I was immersed in it, thinking about my studies that I had to stop before I finished because of my mother’s death and I had

the idea of trying again.
Our daily life became more colorful.
The store manager hired a new girl who just graduated from high school, saying that we need a lively girl to boost the atmosphere.
So the girl became my personal trainer.
I felt that at this time, my life was really
colorful.
