Chapter 12
He hadn’t finished speaking when Adeline interrupted him again, “Brent, weren’t you always obsessed with Mariah and regretful for missing out on her, which is why you chose to marry someone like me who bears some resemblance to her? Now that she’s back by your side, why are you so fixated on whether or not I forgive you? We’re getting divorced, so you can finally be with her as you’ve always wanted, right?”
“No, Adele!” Brent quickly denied, grabbing her hand before she could leave, wanting to explain
himself. “Adele, I didn’t want to marry her, and I never thought of leaving you either…”
His voice gradually weakened in the gaze of her unwavering eyes, and only then did he suddenly
realize how cruel his explanation was to Adeline.
Yeah, he said he didn’t love Mariah anymore.
If even Mariah can make him abandon Adeline without hesitation, making him distrust Adeline,
then how can he claim to love Adeline?
Brent slowly released her hand, and she took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.
Adeline still wore that calm expression as if she was looking at a stranger, and she gave him a polite
yet distant smile, “Mr. Wilson, thank you for Wilson Group’s support for our experiment.”
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the laboratory, returning to Devon’s side.
Brent watched as the two of them chatted happily, occasionally leaning in together, their
conversation a mystery to him. His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
But for some reason, a thought appeared in his mind again.
Adele used to be so fond of him, but now she suddenly decided to leave. Is it because of this person
named Devon?
But what exactly was so good about him, and what did I lack compared to him?
With this in mind, his gaze focused on his reflection in the window, weathered and weary, and he
was a whole ten years older than her.
And what about Devon?
He was young, handsome, around the same age as her, and shared the same interests and career as
her.
In the eyes of everyone, Brent has always been confident and arrogant, a master strategist, and a person that countless opposite sexes wanted to associate with. But at this moment, for the first
time, he felt insecure in his heart.
