A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 25

From the beginning we met to the time we sat down, Edward had been staring at me with a strange and deep gaze, making me uncomfortable all over.

He looked at me as if he was watching his faithless wife.

It made me somehow irritated.

"You look like a couple."Betty 's soft voice interrupted my meditation. My fingers trembled and I narrowed my eyes, looking at Betty's hypocritical face.

William did not say anything but smiled.

Suddenly I hugged William's arm and said with a smile, "You can see that , Miss Fang, you are clearsighted."

"So you are dating with Miss Mu, G.M. Xiao?"Betty was surprised to see that I and William were very close, but the joy in her eyes could not deceive me.

Was Betty very happy to hear that I was with William?

"Yeah, what's wrong? Can't I?" I asked back with my tongue in cheek.

I didn't like Betty, just like Betty didn't like me.

"How come? I am relieved that you will find your own happiness, Miss Mu. After all, I have been feeling guilty for you, because of my existence, you divorce Edward." Betty's words were like thorns in my ear. I frowned unhappily. Looking at Betty's guilty look, I sneered in my heart.

Betty was the first one to be so successful as a mistress.

I pouted, hugged William's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said indifferently, "No, I should thank Miss Fang for helping me find such a good man."

William seemed to be frightened by my words, but he did not expose me to the spot. He just looked at me with a meaningful look.

Being looked at by William like this, I felt uncomfortable all over.

I smiled awkwardly and lowered my head with some guilty conscience.

I used William to suppress Betty. William was a smart man, he should be able to know that I was competing with Betty.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very strange. I pretended to be calm and eat the food in the bowl, but after eating a little, my stomach was rolling with nausea.

I covered my mouth and immediately pushed the chair away because my action was a little abrupt. Everyone who was eating quietly looked up at me.

I covered my lips and said blankly, "I'm... a little uncomfortable. I'll go to the bathroom."

"Do you need me to go with you?" William looked at me and asked worriedly.

In the face of William's consideration, I could only slowly shake my head. When I went to the bathroom, I threw up all the things in my throat and kept retching on the sink.

The whole stomach seemed to be rolling something, which was very disgusting.

Recently, I didn't know what was going on. I felt like I would spit out anything I eat. This situation had lasted for several days.

I took out a piece of tissue and wiped my mouth. Looking at my haggard face in the mirror, I gave a wry smile and was about to wash my hands, when the door of the bathroom was opened at this time. I saw Betty coming in from outside.

I didn't expect that Betty would come into the bathroom.

I glanced at her indifferently, and she looked at me back. A fake concern appeared on her beautiful face. "Miss Mu, you don't look very well. Are you uncomfortable?"

I frowned, answered indifferently, "I'm fine. Just a little stomach problem."

Seeing my cold attitude, Betty didn't care at all. She touched her hair, then turned to me, smiled wickedly, "Miss Mu, do you know I will engage with Edward soon?"

"Miss Fang, do you want to invite me ?"

When I heard that Betty was going to get engaged to Edward again, my heart trembled slightly.

I tried my best to restrain the strange feeling that spread through my heart. I slightly moved my lips and sneered at Betty.

Betty touched her hair indifferently, then looked at me and said triumphantly, "Miss Mu, if you have time to come, I will welcome you very much. You used to be Edward's wife. Although Edward said that he never regarded you as his wife."

Did Betty come here to torture my heart today?

Unfortunately, she was about to be disappointed.

"I should really congratulate Miss Fang for your long-cherished wish. I really envy your happiness for being able to enter the Xis immediately after sacrificing your own child. But I don't know what this kind of happiness is based on. God is watching everything you do. I don't know whether you have a nightmare at night or not." I walked into Betty and said slowly in her ears.

Betty's face, which was originally proud, suddenly became stiff after hearing what I said.

I sneered and straightened up my body to tidy up my clothes. Then I put on a fake smile and said to Betty, "Miss Fang, take your time to use the bathroom. I'll go out first."

Betty thought that I was still the Ashley who swallowed insult and humiliation silently in the past? It was ridiculous.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I bumped into Edward, who was smoking in the corridor.

I had been lonely for too long. I had been deeply in love with Edward for 15 years, but I didn't get any response. It was undeniable that I had been lonely for too long.

But I couldn't be that selfish. It's unfair to William.

I said, "Sorry, William..."

I turned my head away, I should consider the issue rationally.

William had helped me a lot. I couldn't use him to forget about Edward.

William just smiled. He reached out and held me in his arms. He approached me and said, "Ashley, I can wait for the day you accept me."

"William..." I struggled faintly, William looked thin, but his strength was absolutely amazing.

He held me in his arms and refused to let go of me. He didn't let go of me until I was about to suffocate. "Ashley, I have been having feelings for you."

What?

I looked at William in a daze. I didn't understand what he meant by saying this.

In my memory, we had been strangers to each other.

"I didn't tell you, because you were Edward's wife at that time. In fact, I recognized you the moment I saw you at the bar that day. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to embarrass you."

"We used to be in the same school. I saw you running behind Edward. I watched you secretly looking at Edward alone and following him to the library. At that time, I thought that if there was a girl who treated me like this, I would definitely spend my whole life loving her."

When I heard from William that I was running behind Edward when I was in college, I felt my ears were burning.

I had already married to Edward at that time. But he didn't care about me. I had to chase after him all over time.

But I didn't expect William knew about these.

"I didn't attend your wedding because I didn't want to see you marry him. So I went abroad. But I never forgot you. I've been thinking that if you're happy, I'll just watch silently. But then you divorced Edward." "Ashley, will you give me a chance to love you?" William held my hand and said to me with burning and firm eyes.

I was shocked by stubbornness and infatuation in William's eyes and could not say a word.

"I'm just a divorced woman." I looked at William with a wry smile.

I had never thought that I could have happiness after the divorce.
