A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 109

I really thought that this place was very nice. It was surrounded by fruits and vegetables, and there were some bayberry trees on the mountain.

"Do you want to go to the mountain and have a look?" William looked at my excited face and could not help but ask.

Touching my stomach, I swallowed and said, "When I heard bayberry, I felt sore."

"The bayberries here are very sweet. The soil here is very suitable for planting bayberries, and the bayberry is very large and contains a lot of juice."

"Really?" Hearing his words, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva again and asked.

"Do you think that I would lie to you?" William raised his eyebrows and asked.

Looking at him, I naturally believed that he would not lie to me.

He held my hand and walked up the mountain. The mountain road was not very rugged, but there were many stones, and sometimes they would hurt my feet.

Fortunately, William held my hand all the time, so I was not worried.

After going up the mountain and looking at the bayberry trees all over the mountains, I couldn't help but say excitedly, "It's really beautiful."

The bayberries here were very dark, and they looked sweet at first glance.

"Have a try." William took out a bottle of water, washed bayberry, and handed it to me with a smile.

I took a bite, and it was indeed very delicious, sweet, and not sour at all.

"Let's pick a bucket of bayberries today. I'll make bayberry wine and some dried bayberries for you. You like to eat sour ones now, and bayberries over there are sourer. Let's pick them."

"Okay." William was very considerate, which made me feel warm in my heart.

I held his hand, looked at him, and nodded lightly. Then I picked bayberries together with him.

I hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. I was very happy on this day.

When we went back, it was already dark. We were supposed to pick one bucket, but we were so excited and we picked three buckets of bayberries. I ate a lot and felt that my stomach was protesting.

"I'll bring some for my mother, some for Amy, some for Scott, and some for drying and making wine." After I put bayberries together, I turned to look at William and asked.

"It's up to you." William touched my hair and said with a smile.

Hearing his words, I held his hand and said softly, "Thank you, William."

"Silly, you don't need to thank me. You are my wife. Isn't it reasonable for me to make my wife happy?" William's words made me blush again. "You go back to your room and rest. I have something to deal with." William kissed on my forehead and went to the study room.

I touched my forehead, and it seemed that there was his smell on it, which was so clean.

I closed my eyes, touched my belly, and whispered, "Baby, he will be your father from now on. Understand? He will be very kind of you."

In the evening, I had a shower and was about to go to bed when I received a call from an unknown person.

I thought it was a classmate from the university who called me, but the person didn't say anything after I asked for a long time.

"Why don't you speak? If that's the case, then I'm going to sleep." I raised my eyebrows and said to the person on the phone.

When I was about to hang up the phone, the person finally spoke.

"Ashley."

I heard a clear, cold, even a little hazy and vague voice.

I pinched the phone hard, and my heartbeat so fast.

I knew that my emotion shouldn't have changed like this, but I couldn't control myself.

I suppressed the strange pain in my heart and said indifferently, "Edward, enough?"

Each time he dialed my phone with different numbers, but he never said a word after he got through. At the entrance of the cinema that day, didn't he perform very well? Why did he always do this kind of thing that I couldn't understand?

"Ashley, I'm... uncomfortable." Edward's painful and hoarse voice came from the phone.

I closed my eyes and bit my lips. "So? What do you want me to do?" I said to him indifferently.

"Ashley... my heart... is sad... I'm going crazy, what should I do? I'm really... going crazy."

Edward's intermittent sounds were filled with sorrow and even pain.

I didn't want to hear anything from Edward. I didn't want to hear a single word.

"Edward, don't you think you're ridiculous? You abandoned me and used me again and again. Then you use such despicable methods. Do you want me to be soft-hearted? What do you want me to do?"

I growled at Edward on the phone.

He didn't speak anymore. On the other side of the phone, there was a dead silence.

"Okay." The maid nodded and quickly made me a glass of hot milk.

After I took a sip of hot milk, I heard Betty's sharp and even unpleasant voice behind me, "Ashley, why are you at my house?"

I almost choked. I especially inquired about Betty before I came. I came here when I knew that Betty was not at home.

Why would Betty appear in the Fang family? Wasn't she supposed to be the young mistress of the Xis?

I looked back and put down the glass in my hand. Then I saw Edward coming in with Betty.

He seemed to be thinner than before. His face was paler. Was it my illusion?

I suppressed the doubts in my heart and did not look at Edward. I looked at Betty who was angry at me, I sneered and said, "Do I need to tell you in advance that I come here?"

"What did you say? Who allowed you to come here? This is my home."

"I'm not here to see you. Besides, is this house yours? This villa should belong to Leonard, right?" Touching my chin, I sneered at Betty's twisted face.

Betty glared at me, and I also glared at her. Just as the two of us were about to quarrel, Scott came down from the upstairs.

"Betty, why are you so rude?" Scott looked at Betty with some helplessness on her elegant face.

After hearing what she said, I knew that Scott was very indulgent with Betty.

"Mom, why did you let Ashley in? You clearly know that I hate her very much." Betty went forward, held Scott's arm, and said to her coquettishly.

Scott looked at me apologetically, then comforted Betty who was in her arms and said, "Mrs. Xiao has something to talk to me. You go upstairs first. Your father is waiting for you." "Okay." Betty looked at me unhappily and then let go of Scott. She took Edward's hand and walked upstairs.

Edward didn't look at me, and I didn't look at him either. I just lowered my head and touched my belly.

I never thought that one day, I and Edward would each have our own families.

We used to be the closest couple. But now he had a new wife and I also had a new husband.

God made us torture each other as if he was joking.

"Ashley, don't take Betty's words to heart. She has been spoiled by me and her father."

"I know. I didn't take it to heart at all." I glanced at Scott and shook my head slightly.
