Marrying Mr. Shaw - Chapter Eleven - It all makes sense. 

Song of the chapter = Bruno Mars - Moonshine.

"What?" Chris choked on his drink. I bit my bottom lip nervously watching him like this. 

I mean, I should of just shut my mouth but that witch is cheating on him and I didn't want him to get hurt. 

I knew that I was hurting Chris already though as I saw the sorrow in his eyes that killed me and wanted me to wrap my arms around him and comfort him. 

However, I know for sure he will never be mine and the dreams I've been dreaming about me, him and Laila as a family will never fulfil. The end right?

Expecting to see Mrs. Simpson shocked or protest, she just slammed her napkin, folded her arms across her chest and leaned back on the chair with an evil grin. 

I knitted my eyebrows then glanced at Tony, who also looked confused. 

Chris however did not look surprised which was weird. Maybe she's cheated on him before and that's why they split up. So that means she's cheated on him again? What a idiot!

I mean, who would want to cheat with someone else when you have Chris? He's like a real life version of Prince Charming!

Chris stood up and threw his napkin on his empty plate, trying very hard to look calm but I could see that his eyes were getting darker and darker. I shuddered, giving Tony the i'm-going-to-die look. Tony blinked slowly at me to say it'll be fine. 

"Lucy, Tony. I want you to excuse me and Clair," Chris spoke his voice showing nothing but anger. 

So the witch's name is Clair

Me and Tony stood up and nodded at Chris. I turned my heel but then gave a glare at Mrs. Simpson-Clair behind my shoulder as she returned the glare back. 

"What do you think will happen?" Whispered Tony as we walked up the stairs. I shrugged. 

"I don't know Tony but I feel guilty for some odd reasons," I admitted. It was true, I was feeling highly guilty because the look on Chris's face was heartbreaking. He looked like a lost puppy!

Tony wrapped his arms around me. 

"Hey no worries. You did the right thing anyway," He whispered. I gave a small smile at Tony as we reached to the hallway. 

I stopped my tracks when I heard yelling...from Mrs. Simpson. 

I clenched my fists. How dare she yell at Chris like that?

"Lucy?" questioned Tony, his hands casually in his hooded pocket. 

I turned around and sat at the top step of the stairs. I could see a clear view of Chris and Mrs. Simpson basically shouting at each other through the stair bars. 

I felt footsteps approaching me and smiled at Tony sitting besides me, listening to their conversation like I was. 

"I don't understand! This is absolutely preposterous!" shouted Chris. I could feel the numbness in his voice which caused my stomach to tighten. 

Mrs. Simpson laughed.

"Bitch," I mumbled under my breath which caused Tony to chuckle quietly. 

"Chris, Chris, Chris," She spoke, her voice pissing me off at this point. I saw her folding her arms, shook her head. "You really think I would go back to you? Are you that stupid?"

My body tensed and I had an urge to slap the bitch. I sat up and was about to stand up and slap her but Tony grabbed my arm and shook his head. I sighed and tried to relax.
