If There Were An Afterlife, Would You Love Me?

The house was brightly lit. Mia was wearing a white dress and nested herself into the sofa, looking adorable.

Seeing Maxwell coming back, she was near tears and then threw herself into his arms.

"Why... Why did you come back just now? I was so scared..."

Maxwell took her into his arms and kissed her forehead with affection.

"Don't be afraid. I will protect you, and I won't let her hurt you again."

The person in his arms nodded obediently, but he didn't notice her smirk.

After hugging each other for a while, she pulled Maxwell to the balcony, where there was a professional astronomical telescope.

"Look, what a beautiful starry sky!"

Hearing her words, Maxwell seemed to have thought of something and paused for a while.

"Mia, do you know that starry sky looking like fluorescent lights?"

Mia was very curious. "Fluorescent starry sky? It should be very beautiful, right? Have you seen it? I really want to see it! I love the starry sky the most! Can you take me to see it?"

Maxwell scratched her nose lovingly and promised, "Okay, I will find it for you to see."

Seeing those two being so affectionate with each other, I felt a dull pain in my chest.

I had no idea why Maxwell didn't notice something wrong just now.

The starry sky in that photo was completely different from the real one.

It is because he couldn't guess what those fluorescent dots of light were. Or because he just didn't want to consider something related to me.

"Why do you come back so late? Did you encounter any difficult cases?"

"Well, we found a female corpse. Yet, there is only the torso. The head and limbs were cut off. It must be a revengeful murder."

"Oh, such a tragic death! Did you find any clues?"

"Some discoveries have been made. We should be able to identify the deceased and find the murderer soon. Don't go out recently. I fear that woman will hurt you like crazy."

Mia was in his arms, and her eyes were full of pride.

"Darling, won't Lena be unhappy if you stay with me every day?"

Hearing my name, Maxwell's face darkened.

"Why should she be unhappy? She is so dirty and disgusting, not as good as you."

His words made me feel sad.

I wanted to remind him that the one he was holding in his hands was a wicked woman.
