A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 12

Along the way, both Richard Xi and I didn't say anything. When we arrived at the Xis, Richard suddenly looked back, his dark eyes brewing the emotion that I couldn't understand. "Ashley Mu, are you living a happy life now?"

This was the first time that Richard called me by my name directly.

I lowered my head and looked at the dried blood on my body, but I couldn't answer him.

After a smile, Richard opened the car door like a gentleman, "At any time, your smile is the brightest. I hope you will always smile."

After saying that, Richard drove away.

I went upstairs to take a shower.

I had my body examined in the hospital. I didn't get hurt, and the blood was from Edward Xi.

Lying in the bathtub, I recalled the scene and thought about every move of Edward.

I couldn't figure out why he pounced on David Li to block the knife for me.

But I didn't dare to believe that he loved me, because I was very clear that it was impossible.

He was not a bad man. He looked indifferent on the surface, but he had the responsibility of a man. I thought, even if that person who was hijacked was not me, he would still do that. In the evening, I couldn't fall asleep. I got up, changed my clothes, and asked the driver to send me to the hospital.

I wanted to see Edward.

When I got to the hospital, it was already 12 o'clock. The hospital was very quiet. There was nothing but bright lights.

I walked to the door of Edward's ward. When I was about to push the door open, I heard Edward and Betty Fang's sweet conversation.

Edward hugged Betty and kissed her neck. Betty held him and asked softly, "Edward, when will we get married? I just want to stay with you all the time. Do you know that I came here without taking off my costume when I heard something bad happened to you today..."

Edward buried his head further. "When grandpa gets better, I'll ask her to say that."

"Okay." Betty excitedly looked at Edward and pestered him more enthusiastically.

I leaned against the wall and stared at my shadow lonely.

I wiped the tears on my face and was about to leave, but accidentally touched the trash can at the door.

"Who is there?" Edward's cold voice suddenly came out. My heart was aching, and I ran to the corner of the corridor in a panic.

I went to the bar alone to drink. After that, I danced on the stage of the bar.

I want to vent my love for Edward for the past 15 years.

As if I were crazy, I hugged a man in the mess. The smell of his body was very similar to Edward, and it was very good.

"Edward I really love you. Why don't you love me?"

"Miss, my name is not Edward. Please let me go." The man might think it's funny and gently pulled my arm, trying to pull me away.

But I refused to let go of that man's arm and pestered his body.

"Miss, I will charge you for your behavior." The man who was held by me seemed to have a good temper. He supported me and said to me.

I bit my lips, refusing to let go of the warmth in front of me. I whispered, "I have been alone for so long, really... so long, please...Edward, okay?"

My mother-in-law lost her temper over there. She must have something to ask me to do. I have to go back first.

William did not say anything, but tenderly sent me to the Xis. When he saw the Xis' villa, he was surprised and asked, "Are you Edward's wife? Last night, when you called Edward when you were drunk, I thought they just had the same name."

Edward? Is William a friend of Edward?

"I was the university classmate of Edward. I was abroad before. But I didn't return home when he got married,"

As if he had seen through the confusion in my heart, he explained to me.

Looking at William, I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and said in a dull voice, "It's okay. We didn't invite many people when we married."

I didn't even see Edward's classmates because there was no wedding except the marriage certificates and the title of Mrs. Xi.

"Then I'll go first." William took a deep look at me and left.

I watched William's car leave before then returned to the villa. Just as I entered the entrance, my mother-in-law sat on the sofa in the living room and said sternly to me with a sullen face, "Ashley, where did you go last night?"

I was a little flustered and immediately explained, "I slept in Amy Lin's house." "Humph, it's better to be like this. I warn you, if you dare to do something shameless, I will teach you a lesson."My mother-in-law dangerously narrowed her eyes and said coldly to me.

I narrowed my neck and didn't dare to speak. My mother-in-law looked at me for a long time before she said again, "You go home and take care of your family. Don't always do things in the name of Xi's Group. If you do it again, I will make your go to jail."

When I heard my mother-in-law's disgusting words, I asked in confusion, "Mom, what did you say?"

Did something happen to my elder brother's clothing factory?
