Chapter 168: Mr. and Mrs. Smith

New York.

Marriage Counseling Clinic.

On both sides of a coffee table with cups, there is a pair of single sofas side by side, on the sofa are a man and a woman, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, not far from them, a middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle and elegant man sits there, holding a pen and paper and looking at them.

"Mr. Smith, tell me about it. โ€

"Okay, I'll start with that. โ€

The handsome Mr. Smith rubbed his hands and smiled a little embarrassed: "Actually, we don't need to come here, we have been married for 5 years......"

"It's 6 years. โ€

Mrs. Smith, who was beautiful and plump next to her, couldn't help but interrupt.

"It's been 5 or 6 years. โ€

Mr. Smith glanced at his wife next to him and revised what he had just said, but it was not difficult to see the reluctance in his words: "This is a kind of inspection for us, to see the condition of the engine, to change the oil, to change one or two parts......"

"Poof!"

Mrs. Smith, who was next to her, burst out laughing when she heard this.

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Smith looked at him strangely.

"Nothing. โ€

Mrs. Smith shook her head and said, "I just think this metaphor is very vivid~"

Saying this, I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart: "After using the most advanced and powerful, tens of thousands of horsepower engine modified racing cars, and then replacing them with the original engine, even if you change the oil and parts, can you really return to the feeling of speeding at 1,000 horsepower in the past......

"Okay. โ€

After writing a few words on the paper, the marriage counselor raised his head and smiled: "In that case, let's open the hood and take a look, how happy are you on a scale of 10?"

"101 points!"

Mrs. Smith blurted out, seeing that Mr. Smith looked at him in surprise, she immediately woke up, the marriage counselor asked not how she felt about speeding at work, but whether it was the top killer, this means of hiding emotions is very skillful, and said without changing her face: "This is the past!"

"And now?"

The marriage counselor said gently.

"8 points, no, 6 points. โ€

Mrs. Smith shrugged.

In the past, she may have given 8 points, but nothing can be compared, but now she can only give 6 points in friendship, of which 5 points are given for the sake of the relationship between husband and wife for six years.

"6 points!"

Mr. Smith pouted and lowered his score of 8 to 6.

"How often do you applaud love?"

The marriage counselor asks the most critical and core questions about marriage.

"I don't understand this question, is this also a very standard answer?"

Mr. Smith pretended to be stupid and said, "You must know that strictly speaking, 0 is not once." โ€

"Let's talk about this week. โ€

The marriage counselor said helplessly.

โ€œ......โ€

Mr. Smith was speechless, and when he saw that Mrs. Smith was a little distracted, his heart sank, and he put his hands on Mrs. Smith's ears and applauded with a bang.

"What's wrong?"

Mrs. Smith came back to her senses and asked puzzled.

"What were you thinking?"

Mr. Smith said with a green face, he always felt that the week since Mrs. Smith returned from a business trip had changed, but he couldn't say what had changed.

Because they have been so cold for months, and without opening their hearts and in-depth exchanges, how can they know what the problem is?

That's why he agreed to come to this embarrassing marriage counseling!

"I'm counting how often we applaud love. โ€

Mrs. Smith said lightly: "If you want me to talk about it, let's count it by years, what do you think?"

"Ahem. โ€

Mr. Smith coughed dryly, and felt that he was too suspicious, their problem was not who cheated at all, and if she really dared to cheat, would he really be a top killer?

"Let's talk about how you met. โ€

The marriage counselor took a deep look at Mrs. Smith, although Mrs. Smith covered it up very well, but he has been helping people do marriage counseling for many years, and he is used to seeing all kinds of strange things about couples, he has long developed a pair of fiery eyes, and he can see at a glance that Mrs. Smith has a problem, but he is not good at breaking it, so he can only change the topic.

"That was in Colombia, Bogotรก, five years ago!"

A smile tugged at Mr. Smith's lips.

Mrs. Smith opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute it again 6 years ago, but she looked at the marriage counselor meaningfully and swallowed back the words in her mouth.

This time the marriage counseling passed in the couple's memories of the sweet encounter, and when they left, the marriage counselor muttered: "I suggest that you first have a separate consultation, recognize your true thoughts, and then face and solve it together, what do you think?"

โ€œokใ€‚ โ€

Mrs. Smith saw the marriage counselor looking at her, remembered the marriage counselor's eyes just now, and nodded in agreement.

"I'm fine. โ€

Mr. Smith didn't care.

"That's good. โ€

The marriage counselor smiled: "Mrs. Smith is scheduled for 4 p.m. next Monday, and Mr. Smith is scheduled for 4 p.m. next Tuesday, so you are welcome to come over on time." โ€

"Be sure to be on time. โ€

On the way back.

Inside the car.

"What do you think of Dr. Whistler?"

Mrs. Smith asked nonchalantly as she drove, "I feel like his question is a bit out of the boundary." โ€

"It's really not very constructive. โ€

Mr. Smith said casually: "You've been very busy at work lately~"

Mrs. Smith saw that Mr. Smith was looking at her with his spare eyes, her heart beat sluggishly, and the picture of working overtime with her colleague Sarayn for a week came to mind, and even the boss was personally in battle, could they not care?

However, after entering the work state, I feel really fulfilled and happy, and the cold war with life is completely ice, fire, and heavy sky, which may be what people often call a sense of achievement.

It's just that there is a little snub to her husband, and in a flash of inspiration, she remembered a question and blurted out: "Who is Rachel?"

"What?"

Mr. Smith was shocked.

"Who's Rachel Green?!"

Seeing Mr. Smith's reaction, Mrs. Smith immediately understood that there was adultery, she was a very possessive woman, and some of the guilt and uneasiness before were suddenly swept away, and she questioned Mr. Smith with burning eyes.

This week, when I was working overtime, the new newcomer to the company, Owen Lee, looked up at her, the senior boss of the company, and trembled at the moment, and inadvertently confided: "Rachel Green, I can be regarded as avenging you......

At that time, she wanted to ask who Rachel Green was, but she was too tired to ask, and the rest of the workday was like this, and if it wasn't for Mr. Smith's wake-up call, she wouldn't have remembered Rachel Green.

Now, Mr. Smith must answer this proposition!
