Bronson’s face changed, and d his thin lips parted slightly. “Nathalie’s child was not mine.”
The backyard was so quiet that I could hear every word he said.
But, so what?
I smiled and said, “Bronson, your explanation was so pale that I find it hard to believe”
His eyelashes trembled lightly, and he no longer had the mockery and calculation of the past.
Instead, there was a touch of bitterness added.
“Veronica, you said you were sad, but have you ever thought about how sad I was when you left?”
“You left without saying a word, leaving behind a breakup letter. Do you know how long I searched for you?”
“I went crazy searching everywhere I could, I asked the counselor for your home address, and you know when I went there, I saw you wearing a wedding dress getting into a wedding car. How heartbroken I was.”
“It’s not only you who felt sad, and it’s not only you who had a broken heart.”
Bronson and I, like two intersecting lines, went from being strangers to knowing and loving each other, and then gradually drifting
apart.
Now, we can’t turn back
“Bronson, you have already sought revenge, and we have lost our child. Let the past be in the past. Go back and live a good life with her. Let’s not see each other again.”
This relationship, no one can be blamed, only fate can be blamed for playing tricks on people,
Suddenly, a wall of flesh came up behind me, and Bronson tightly wrapped his arms around my waist, whispering softly in my car.
“I thought I could forget the past, stop bothering you, but I persisted for half a month, Veronica, and I realized I couldn’t do it; I can’t
forget you.
“Nathalie’s child is not mine, I can also handle the marriage certificate, I am not angry anymore, I will immediately proceed with the divorce with her, and then, we can live well, okay?”
His pleas came at me, word by word, sentence by sentence, but I no longer felt the same excitement I had two years ago.
I tried to pry open his hand, but I couldn’t move it at all.
I sighed and said helplessly, “Bronson, let go.”
“No, no
His tone revealed panic.
I closed my eyes, and suddenly, a person walked towards me.
“Ms. Mercado?
Robert stood with his hands in his pockets, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes beneath the golden wire frames of his glasses.
I took advantage of Bronson’s relaxation and quickly slipped out of his arms, running towards Robert.
Perhaps due to three years of collaboration, Robert instinctively protected me.
Bronson looked displeased.
“Veronica, who was he
Robert c
chuckled and said, “Me, Ms. Mercado’s ex–husband, Robert,”
Bronson’s face turned even uglier, gritting his teeth he spat out the words “ex–husband“. He reached out his hand towards me and said, “Veronica, come here.”
I shook my head, “Bronson, the words have been said very clearly. It doesn’t matter if the child in Nathalie’s belly is yours or if you
only married her out of spite. None of these matters anymore. There is no need for us to continue,”
Bronson opened his mouth and wanted to say something
Robert, however, was the first to block the way back.
“Mr. Crane, I believe Veronica has made herself quite clear. If you continue to pester, it won’t end well. Goodbye, ”
I followed Robert to the lounge, and not only us, Maxwell was also there, along with an unfamiliar woman
The woman had an elegant appearance, and her gentle and generous nature was further highlighted by her white long dress.
She raised her hand and said, “Ms. Mercado.”
I paused for a moment
Robert took her hand and gently rubbed it, and said with a faint smile, “Let me introduce my girlfriend, Olivia Gibbs.”
1 suddenly realized.
Robert had a crush on Olivia, whom he referred to as his moonlight, when we got married. He had mentioned that we were just
cooperating and there would be no substantial relationship.
Once he came into power, the Myers family, we got divorced, of course, he would not cut off his assistance to the Mercado family.
And all that he did, was just to be able to be with Olivia openly and honestly.
1 asked Olivia. “Didn’t you doubt him or get angry with him? After all, he had been married.”
Olivia smiled and said, “I was angry. He didn’t tell me anything and faced it alone. Do you think I was angry?
“But I am not angry anymore now, I know that everything he did was for me, your marriage was just a business relationship.”
“Besides, he knelt in front of my door for three days. If I were still angry, it would be like holding a grudge against myself.”
I smiled latowingly, admiring her rationality and generosity.
Maxwell grinned and said, “Robert is still useful. He successfully brought Veronica back. If it were me, I wouldn’t have stopped without
a fight”
Originally, it was Maxwell who sent Robert to the backyard.
The dinner party had not yet ended, but I didn’t want to stay any longer. Maxwell frowned and said, “Veronica, I have another dinner engagement. Shall I have someone take you home first?”
“No need, I’ll just take a taxi. You go ahead and do your own thing.”
I opened the door of the lounge and almost ran into a wall of flesh.
Bronson stood straight in front of the door, like a statue.
His facial expression was somewhat strange, and I couldn’t understand it for a moment.
I said lightly, “Move aside, you’re blocking my way!
“Why didn’t you tell me
A low voice sounded above the head.
I paused for a moment, and a few seconds later, I realized the meaning behind his words.
I didn’t tell him at first because I was afraid he would make a scene.
Later on, I didn’t tell him because he didn’t care that I had been married before, so I felt there was no need to explain
I took a deep breath and stopped Maxwell, who was about to get angry
“Maxwell, don’t you st
u still have a dinner appointment? You go ahead, I’ll handle it myself.”
He hesitated for a moment, and I looked at Robert. Three years of understanding, at this moment, no words needed to be said, a glance was enough to understand
After they all left, only Bronson and I remained in the lounge.
He closed the door and suddenly he hugged me tightly.
“I’m sorry, Veronica, I’m sorry.”
His voice was tinged with a hint of crying, losing the usual indifference and calmness.
“Veronica, you hated me, blamed me, but can you please not leave me?”
Matters of the heart are the most unpredictable.
My fingers trembled slightly as I slowly placed them on Bronson’s hand.
He was excited for a moment, and his expression turned into joy.
The next second, I lightly pushed him away.
“Sorry, I no longer loved you.”
