A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 56

After saying this, I left the room with my tired body.

When Paul saw my weak look, he wanted to support me with his hand, but I refused.

I was not that weak to need someone to help me.

After what I had done last night, Betty must have grown apart from Edward.

Thanks to William's quick movements, he successfully let Betty come here and witness what happened between Edward and me.

However, it was only the beginning.

I raised my chin and looked at my front with cold eyes.

When I returned to my house, I saw William standing in front of my door.

I didn't know how long he had been waiting for me. When he saw me, he smiled weakly.

"You're finally back."

"William... Why are you... here..."

I bit my lips and said in a hoarse voice.

"I was worried about you. I don't know if things are going well over there." William stretched out his hand intimately and said, touching my hair gently.

Hearing his words, my breath could not help but tremble a little.

I closed my lips and couldn't say a word. My throat seemed to be choked with something. It was very uncomfortable.

"Are you tired? Let's go in first. I'll cook for you." William said gently to me.

"Okay." I sniffed to conceal the sadness in my eyes and nodded.

After I took out the key and opened the door, he put the food that he bought into the refrigerator, and I went into the bathroom to take a bath.

I looked at the love-bites on my body, and I felt sad and helpless.

These love- bites seemed to tell me that I was completely... depraved.

But so what? My heart had been broken into pieces when my baby died. Other than revenge, I didn't want to think about anything else.

"Ashley, come out to eat." William's voice came from outside the door. I composed my emotions, put on my clothes in a panic, and walked out with my sore legs.

The food made by William was very hearty, it smells delicious from far away. I couldn't help touching my hungry belly and said to him with a smile, "It smells so good. It must be delicious."

"Eat more if you like it. You can let me cook for you if you don't want to cook in the future." William said gently to me.

I nodded, bit my chopsticks, and took a sip of soup.

After eating, William and I sat on the sofa and watched TV. He looked at me and said, "If you feel tired, you can lean on me for a nap." "William, will I go to hell?" I turned my head to look at him and asked with a soft smile.

William touched my face and said with a complicated expression in his eyes, "Even if you go to hell, I'll accompany you, because... I'm also a sinner."

His voice was so soft that I didn't hear what he said clearly.

I had already taken the first step, and I had to go on. It was a must.

After that time, Edward did not appear in front of me, not even Betty. Intimate photos of Edward and Betty were often reported in the newspaper. I sneered and didn't care.

They just seemed to be in perfect harmony on the surface, and the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.

I was not in a hurry. I was like a patient hunter, all I need to do was quietly waiting for my prey to come to me.

A week later, I received a call from my mother. She asked me to go back for dinner.

Last time my mother made a fuss in my company because of Eric's death. At that time, she looked at me with hatred in her eyes.

She didn't even come to the hospital to see me when I had a miscarriage. I wondered if she had forgiven me.

In fact, I was still thirsty for the warmth of family. Although there was no warmth in my family after my father's death.

In the evening, I told William and then went back to my mother's house. When I went in, my mother was cooking. When she saw me coming back, she smiled and said, "You're back. Take a seat in the living room and the food will be ready in a minute."

I looked at my mother's familiar smile in front of me, and the uneasiness along the way disappeared in an instant.

On the way here, I had been nervous all the time. I was worried that she would suddenly get angry with me when I stayed with her. But judging from the situation, she was no longer sad about Eric's death.

I sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the TV in front of me. Mark was not at home. When I was sleepy, I heard footsteps and conversations in the yard.

I opened my eyes and saw Mark walking over with a frivolous middle-aged man in a black suit.

"Why should your boss buy you such an expensive car?" Hearing Mark's words, I couldn't help frowning and asked.

Generally speaking, even if he met a boss who was so generous and cherished talents, he would not buy him such an expensive car all of a sudden.

I looked at Mark with some doubts. Mark couldn't help complaining to me, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm an important person in my company. Well, help me please Mr. Wu, I won't treat you badly after I get the benefits."

Mark gave me a look of disdain and pushed me to the dining room.

I was a little curious about his behaviors, I wanted to say something but I refrained. When I arrived in the dining room, my mother was chatting with Mr. Wu. I didn't know what they were talking about. My mother's expression was a bit strange. After she saw me, she asked me to entertain Mr. Wu immediately.

I sat in my seat, and Mr. Wu sat beside me. He looked as if he wanted to touch my body.

I frowned because of his action, and my face turned slightly cold.

Seeing this, Mr. Wu restrained himself a lot. He didn't dare put his hands on my body, but he couldn't help rubbing his palms and said to me meaningfully, "You're very vigilant."

I smiled hypocritically and said faintly, "You gotta be kidding."

He stared at me with such lecherous eyes. Did he really think I was blind?

During the dinner, my mother had been entertaining Mr. Wu. He looked a little disgusting and greasy, which made me very uncomfortable.

I had no appetite. I always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

After bearing patiently for a long time, I thought that it was about time, so I picked up my bag and said to Mr. Wu, "Sorry, I may have to go now. I have to go to work tomorrow."

As I said this, I was about to leave, but my mother stopped me.

"You haven't finished your dinner yet. Why are you leaving so fast? Finish the meal first and then go."

"I have no appetite." I glanced at my mother and couldn't help saying.

Hearing this, my mother said with a slightly cold face, "Mr. Wu came here for the first time today. You should accompany him. Be obedient and have a drink with him."

Mother's words made me a little disgusted. It felt that she asked me to drink with Mr. Wu as a prostitute.

I couldn't help but put on a cold face and said, "Mom, I still have work to do when I go back. If I'm drunk, no one will do those jobs."

After hearing what I said, my mother was a little embarrassed. Mr. Wu immediately stood up and said, "Miss Mu, don't you show me respect?"
