Chapter 10%
“If you have forgotten, why are you wearing the bracelet I gave you? Terrie, I know I did something wrong, I’m here to explain to you.“}]
Before he could finish my words, Carlos pulled my wrist back and held my body tightly in his arms.
“Mr. Hatfield, I’m sorry for not welcoming you in person. The guests are outside and you scared my bride.
“Oh yeah, you were talking about this bracelet?“}]
Carlos lifted my wrist and shook it.”
“You bought fakes, I bought authentic items from an auction. It’s my wife’s jewelry, so of course I should be the one to choose it. “Mr. Hatfield, please go out.”}
Calvin’s face turned cold and his voice was extremely cold as he snapped, “Terrie is my bride!“}
“It’s mine now!” Carlos refused to admit defeat and the two confronted each other backstage.}
The symphony started playing and I pushed Carlos out. “Don’t waste time with him, let’s start.”
“My wife is really smart. I admire her.”
Ignoring Calvin’s sly expression, I gently lifted a corner of the curtain.
I saw that Calvin had been controlled by bodyguards under the stage.
I thought that severing my relationship with him would at least cost me half my life. But when the time came to separate, I found that everything was not that difficult.
I thought love was nothing more than a habit formed over the years.
The relationship was dead from the moment he betrayed me for the first time.}]
It was just that he was buried after Freida became pregnant.}
As the symphony progressed, that piercing gaze grew more intense.
Calvin just stood there on the stage, witnessing my hand being handed over to another man.”
From the initial out–of–control rage to the subsequent calm silence.
The emotion in his eyes gradually faded and it seemed that he had lost his luster forever.
The wedding process was over and Calvin was finally released by the bodyguards.}]
He blocked me at the end of the corridor. He pressed forward step by step and I retreated step by step.
“What do you want?” I asked coldly.
“I want you to marry me and be with me.“}
Calvin’s eyes were bloodshot, with a paranoid and dangerous look in them.
I put my hands in front of me to keep some distance from him.
“Enough! Calvin, we are over. Don’t you understand? It’s over!”
The next second, Calvin stretched out his hands and slapped himself in the face left and right. The crisp sound of applause continued to ring out.
I did not know how long it took, but his cheeks were so swollen that they were almost bleeding.§
“I know I was wrong, Terrie, please, please give me a chance to forgive me,” he pleaded, “You married Carlos just to spite me, right? You don’t like him at all, why do you make it so difficult for yourself?
“I have already dealt with Freida’s child. No one will stand in our way anymore. I don’t ask you to forgive me, I just ask you to give me a chance to make amends. I will never look at another woman again. You are my only wife!”
He was pushed down with force and Calvin fell heavily to the ground.
But I laughed, my dry eyes hurt so badly as I sneered, “Calvin, who do you think you are?
“You asked me to forgive you for having an affair and you asked me to raise a bastard for you when she got pregnant. Now that I’m married, you want me to break off the marriage. You think too highly of yourself.
“I did love you, but that was all in the past. Ever since you stabbed my stomach with the tip of a knife, ever since you turned against me for Freida, ever since you forced me to kneel, my feelings for you have completely disappeared!]
“I am very happy now and I wish you and Freida the same happiness.“{
He roared, “No, that’s not the case. I have never loved Freida. The person I like has always been you!!
“I’m just afraid that others will look down on me and say that I’m a loser who relies on women to get to the top. I….“}
Before he could finish, I interrupted him coldly, “I don’t care about these explanations and I care even less about your children.”
“Calvin, I can afford to love and I can afford to lose. Please don’t appear in front of me again.“}
I threw down these words and ignored his reaction.”
I just turned around and left.”
In the distance, Carlos was holding flowers and handing them to me with a smile.
