Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 2 Episode 46

Men Marry, Women Wed, No Interference with Each Other

You should know, if these things were handed over to the police, Ashley wouldn’t be able to get out for three to five years.

Given how much he cared about Ashley, he gave me these things, not afraid that I would directly hand them over to the police?

Walter’s dark eyes lightly fell on me, his voice steady, devoid of joy, “I only helped you uncover the truth.”

I frowned, for a moment I couldn’t understand the hidden meaning in his words. What did he mean by only helping me find out the truth?

I’ve never been fond of speculating about others’ inner thoughts, because it’s impossible to see through them. I didn’t bother to probe too much. I handed back the things in the leather bag to him, calmly saying, “Although I don’t know why you gave me these things, I still thank you. However, these things are of no use to me now.”

He frowned, a moment of surprise on his handsome face, “Useless?”

I nodded, not intending to explain further, simply saying, “The incident is over, the contents of this bag could put Ashley in jail, but…”

At this point, I looked up at him, paused slightly and said, “But you know better than I do, given her current situation, if she goes to jail, it would at least be delayed by one to two years. There’s too much

uncertainty in these two years.”

This statement, I didn’t put it too bluntly, these things, were nothing more than making Ashley serve three to five years in prison, with a two-year deferred execution. In two years, Walter would have plenty of ways to ensure she ultimately didn’t have to go in. Such matters, for an ordinary person, there were countless exceptions, let alone for Walter.

Perhaps sensing the implication in my words, Walter’s face suddenly darkened a few shades. His dark eyes remained fixed on me, his voice. low as he said, “Tabatha, am I really that despicable in your heart?”

I pursed my lips, not wanting to argue with him here. I calmly said, “Walter, whatever the reason you gave me these things, I have to thank you. As for what your purpose is, I can’t guess, and I don’t want to guess. To put it nicely, we are just a couple about to part ways, not familiar people.”

I wasn’t sure if my words were too harsh, but I could almost clearly feel Walter’s heavy breathing due to his suppressed anger. It seemed as if he was laughing out of anger. He spoke, “Someone you’re not familiar with?”

Continuing this conversation would inevitably lead to an argument, so I stopped the previous topic, collected the project investment.

me

information he had given and said, “Thank you for this, I’ll treat you to a meal afterwards.”

After a slight pause, I glanced at the leather bag and said, “I won’t be needing this. Firstly, I don’t want her, a pregnant woman, to go to jail right now. Secondly… she and I are like sisters. Please pass on a message for me, let’s put an end to this matter!”

Walter didn’t speak, he just stared at me with his dark eyes, not moving at all. For a moment, his gaze made my heart flutter and my scalp tingle, I couldn’t help but want to say something.

After a while, he suddenly spoke, his voice deep and magnetic, “Tabatha, two years of married life, do you really think I know nothing about you?”

I was stunned, still not understanding.

“What… do you mean?”

His eyebrows lifted slightly as he spoke, “When did someone who is so clear about right and wrong, who must argue over every grievance,

suddenly learn to let things go?”

I paused, saying nothing.

Looking at me, he pursed his thin lips and pushed the leather bag towards me. He began to speak, “I’m not as bad as you think I am. I looked into these things for two reasons. First, I wanted to know what exactly you went through back then. Second, I wanted to make it up to you. I know you resent me, but Tabatha, I’ve said it before, I will do my best to make amends.”

Compensate?

Compensate for what? That six-week-old child?

For a moment, it felt as if a large hand had tugged at my heart, causing a pain so intense that I was left breathless for a few seconds. I took a slight breath, looked at him, and calmly said, “No need, Walter. If you really want to make amends, let’s find some time to go to the civil affairs bureau and get our divorce certificate. From then on, we can each marry whomever we want, without interfering with each other. I don’t need this now.”
