“I indulged that wretched woman in destroying the protective sacred artifact your parents left you, it’s my fault. Look, I prayed for another one for you. It’s very effective, believe me…”
Before he could finish, I snatched the sacred artifact from his hand and tossed it straight into the fireplace.
Blake watched helplessly as the sacred artifact he had painstakingly prayed for turned to ashes in an instant, then collapsed onto the floor, covering his face and sobbing.
After all that commotion, I had lost the mood to admire the flowers.
I turned to head back inside, but Blake clutched at me tightly.
“Delilah! I’ve already lowered myself so much to beg you, why are you still acting so high and mighty? If you don’t take the chance I’m giving you now, don’t regret it later!“}
He had never once humbled himself before anyone.”
Upon seeing my cold attitude, anger overtook him and he finally revealed his true colors./
Maximilian kicked him away with one sharp movement, looking down at him with disdain.” “Blake, look at yourself like a pathetic stray dog. Which part of you deserves Delilah?”
“Get lost!”
I smiled and kissed Maximilian on the cheek as a reward.”
Then, under Blake’s anguished gaze, I squatted down, gently patting his stubbled face.”
“Blake, do you still remember our childhood playmate, Mark?“W
Blake frowned, struggling to recall.
I continued calmly, “Her parents owed a heavy debt to the Watson family. After they passed away, she herself was diagnosed with a terminal illness…”
“Before she died, her only wish was for me to stay by your side in her place. I stayed with you for more than ten years without complaint and five years as your wife. Now that I’m leaving, I think Mark wouldn’t blame me.”
Blake stood completely stunned, his eyes blank.
“You’re saying you pursued me all those years, even proposed to me only because of a promise to a childhood friend?“?
“Impossible, Delilah, you’re lying!”
“Even if you were with me because of that promise, you can’t deny your feelings for me after all these years!”
I smiled and shook my head.”
“I loved you.”
“But that’s all.“\
Back when I loved him most, I gave up my own career willingly to become a housewife, waiting every day for him to come home.}
When he got drunk late into the night, even in the freezing winter of minus twenty degrees, I stood outside hotels just to take him home.“>
When his company faced a financial crisis, I swallowed my pride, begging every acquaintance my parents had ever known, enduring countless humiliations just to secure funding for him.”
And how did he repay me?!
He left me to attend pregnancy check–ups alone while he accompanied Alison for pre–pregnancy exams.
By letting me see photos of him with one woman after another splashed across the news, night after night.”
My heart burned itself out, waiting for him, night after night.
I once thought having a child would change him, but he personally crushed even that last bit of hope.}
Yet Blake still wouldn’t give up and earnestly promised, “Delilah, I swear I’ll treasure you properly from now on. Alison is in my hands; I’ll let you deal with her however you want…”
“It wasn’t like you thought with her. Back then, she was just my intern. I only got close to her because she reminded me of you…“}
“Later, when you fell down the stairs and lost the baby, she lied to me, saying you deliberately fell because you didn’t want to have my child. I was so furious and drunk that she took advantage of the situation.”
“Please, give me another chance. Don’t be mad at me anymore, okay?“}}
“No.“%
“Blake, don’t you understand? The wall between us isn’t just Alison. It’s also my two lost children and my mother, three lives.”
