Chapter40
Seeing the situation, Garrett gave a sarcastic smile and said,
“Okay, then go ahead and die for me.”
Amanda couldn’t believe her ears.
Jeanette was furious: “Garrett, what are you talking about!
Don’t you know Amanda can’t handle stress!”
Almost at the same time, Cornelius angrily slapped him and
said, “Look at what you’ve done, still dare to talk nonsense here!
You almost caused a tragedy, you don’t even have ten lives to
spare!”
Evelyn just covered her mouth, turned her face away, and cried
quietly.
Amanda was still there begging for him: “Sir Barnard, please
don’t hit Garrett, don’t hit him.”
Garrett, who was beaten, stood there motionless, his face as cold
and hard as ice. He just lifted his eyelids slightly to look at
Adelaide, with only guilt and discomfort in his eyes.
Adelaide hated how he was still pretending to be innocent at
this moment, she coldly looked away and reminded Amanda,
“Amanda, Madam Barnard has a heart condition, can’t handle
any excitement or shock. If you want to solve this properly,
then put the pieces down. Don’t let it end in a mess, we’ll have to come back here multiple times to solve the problem like
tonight.”
He heard her still thinking about herself, Evelyn felt sorry and
regretful. Adelaide also grew up in front of them, the Barnard
family didn’t care about family background, only cared about
character. So they really liked Adelaide marrying into the
Barnard family, who would have thought such embarrassing
things would happen.
The moment she realized her son had let Adelaide down, she
couldn’t help but slap him and say, “You’re such a fool!”
Amanda hated Adelaide’s guts, and to make matters worse,
Cornelius and Evelyn were still sticking up for her.
While she was distracted, Finley took the fragments from her
hand. “You’re being ridiculous!”
Amanda was stunned, then immediately hugged her mother, crying sadly, “Waaah, Mom, I didn’t really want to die. I just couldn’t bear to leave Garrett, I don’t want to lose Garrett.”
Looking at the bustling scene, Adelaide’s heart was already
aching.
She was feeling upset too, but she had to pretend to be calm and
Chapter40
composed at this moment.
Her nails had long been digging into her palms, she said, “Garrett, you probably haven’t forgotten the day she cut her wrist. You waited for me to fall asleep before coming over to lie next to her and stayed with her all night. When she hurt her forehead, you were the one who rushed to hold her and take
her back to the room.”
“Maybe Amanda was right, you do have feelings for her. Since you care about her so much, it’s not right to break you two up. Both sets of parents are here now, we are all adults, so let’s not act childish anymore, let’s part on good terms.”
These words were like knives, slowly cutting open Garrett’s heart. What Adelaide said seemed like he only heard a few words. He stiffly raised his right hand, pointing back at himself,
“You think I… childish?”
Adelaide raised her eyebrows, “You promised me countless times in the past few days that you would change, Garrett, let me give you a chance. But then you turn around and act lovey- dovey with her. Your behavior of wanting both is not only childish but also despicable.”
Garrett’s throat felt like it was being strangled, couldn’t say a
word.
He used to be the most perfect beloved person in her eyes in
Chapter40
Adelaide, but now he has become the most detestable person to
her.
