Chapter74
Bethany bitterly curved the corners of her lips.
After a while, the sound of footsteps going upstairs disappeared,
and Bethany came out of the study.
There was no one in the living room.
She returned to the master bedroom, which was also empty.
She just heard that Terrence helped to carry the luggage
upstairs.
Bethany walked into the bathroom.
There was also a heavy feeling of fatigue on the body, very
uncomfortable.
She filled the bathtub with hot water and wanted to take a hot
bath.
Recently, she began to clearly feel that her physical fitness had
noticeably declined.
The doctor said that the terrifying thing about cancer is the
spread of cancer cells.
Chapter74
Bethany lay in the bathtub, unable to help but wonder, where
should she wait to die in six months?
Hospital?
Still at home?
Or was it a place with no one?
Thinking and thinking, she fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the cold.
The water in the bathtub had turned cold.
I felt cold all over my body and started trembling.
She quickly got out of the bathtub, turned on the shower, and warm water sprayed on her body, only then did she start to feel a bit comfortable.
When she came out of the bathroom, the bedroom was still empty.
Terrence was not here.
Bethany looked at the time on the wall clock.
Chapter74
It was 2 o’clock in the morning… He had not come down yet…
Bethany reluctantly pursed her lips.
In the study, he made it difficult for her, she knew, and he
wouldn’t be doing well either.
They had been living together for seven years, and she knew
him very well.
The interests that he rose with tonight, based on his past
situation, would surely entangle her in the end.
But this time, no.
Bethany couldn’t help but think of Krista.
He had Krista.
What she couldn’t get from her, Krista could give him.
If it weren’t for the firsthand experience of these days, she
couldn’t imagine that a man like Terrence, strict in upbringing
and highly cultured, would have such a forbidden love.
How much love must there be for men and women who dare to
break through the barriers of society and the bottom line of
morality to fall in love.
Especially Terrence.
If he loved, he would give everything.
So, that’s why he married her.
She was disabled, with a huge disparity in their identities.
He was willing to marry her, and everyone would think it was as if her ancestors‘ graves were emitting smoke.
Marriage really had something, perhaps others would think she didn’t know any better.
And never thought of the relationship between Terrence and Krista.
And he, too, might have thought that she was a mute and would never give up on this marriage.
He had a stable marriage, and unaware others wouldn’t know
that there was a Krista deeply in love with him behind him.
Bethany crawled into bed, dared not to think any further, the
more she thought, the more every cell in her body would ache.
She turned off the light and lay down.
The sound of a car driving in could be heard from outside.
Chapter74
Stopped and turned off the engine in a moment.
Bethany slightly furrowed her brow.
The familiar sound, like Terrence’s car.
Wasn’t he upstairs?
Didn’t find Krista?
About two minutes later, she heard the sound of the villa door
opening.
The familiar sound of footsteps reached Terrence’s ears.
At that moment, her heart trembled slightly.
Did Terrence not get together with Krista, or did she just
imagine it?
The bedroom door was pushed open.
Bethany clearly heard the crisp sound Terrence made when he
turned on the room’s light.
She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
“Beth…”
His voice was low as he leaned in beside her and softly called
Chapter74
her name.
She did not respond to him.
He was rubbing against her ear and then bit the soft flesh.
behind her ear.
The body trembled uncontrollably.
“Knowing that you woke up, open your eyes.”
Bethany turned her head.
He only turned on the warm yellow night light on the bedside
table.
The room was filled with a faint yellow light, gently casting
onto his captivating face….
The dim light made him both mysterious and handsome.
In just one second, Bethany’s aesthetic was struck.
He lowered his head and pecked on her lips.
Then, he said in a low voice, “Sorry, I had planned to celebrate
your birthday as soon as it turned midnight. On the way to get
the cake, there was a small accident that delayed me until now.”
Chapter74
Terrence stood up and Bethany only then saw him holding an
exquisitely packaged birthday cake box.
