Chapter198
Terrence knew sign language. They were together for seven
years. He could understand the emotions she wanted to express
through her gestures better than anyone else.
Terrence’s throat was a bit scratchy, and his chest felt tight.
He had never seen her so sad.
He took a deep b
and asked softly, “Did I do something
wrong? Is that wh
you’re so upset?”
He asked himself if he had ever mistreated her. He was busy
with work, but he never skimped on giving her the money,
jewelry, clothes, shoes, and bags that women should have.
As soon as I got back from my business trip, I would also please
her in bed, giving her the best experience.
As for not introducing her to others, there was a reason for that.
Apart from spending less time with her, he fulfilled all his duties
as a husband.
Their marriage status always satisfied him.
Chapter198
She was a competent wife, he thought, and he was satisfied too.
When did she start to be so dissatisfied with their marriage,
with him?
Terrence’s sincere and gentle words almost made Bethany cry.
He could see her sadness.
He could see it.
But he always ignored it.
Her hand, held by Terrence, couldn’t answer his words.
Terrence whispered again, “I married you, it was my first time
being a husband, if I didn’t do something well, you can tell me,
I’ll change, okay?”
He was rarely so patient.
He just couldn’t bear to see her sad.
His lifeless eyes filled with sadness, making his heart feel like it
had an extra hollow.
She didn’t need him to change.
She has loved before, she knows too well, loving someone
Chapter198
deeply is the hardest habit to break.
Just like her, she just couldn’t love anymore, didn’t want to love
anymore.
It takes time to uproot the vines of love firmly rooted in the
depths of the heart.
What’s more, Krista was his aunt.
This whole life, they could never escape from their lives.
She couldn’t compare to his status, couldn’t compare to his
position.
But she and he were both legal citizens with equal human
rights, and they had the same rights in marriage, just like him.
She couldn’t accept her husband, as she loved another woman
in her heart.
The marriage of two people was already crowded, how could it
possibly fit a third person in.
At that moment, Terrence’s phone rang.
He let go of Bethany’s hand, stood up, smoothly reached into the
inside pocket of his suit, and took out his phone.
Chapter198
It was Ms. Guzman who called.
“Hey, Ms. Guzman.”
Bethany heard Ms. Guzman, and her thoughts paused for a
moment.
“I called Beth today, but her phone was off the whole time. I still
can’t reach her. Is she at home?”
“I wasn’t at home, but we were together.”
Terrence glanced at Bethany, and Bethany looked back at him.
On the phone, Ms. Guzman added, “Um… can you have her pick
up the phone?”
Ms. Guzman was planning to talk to Terrence first, asking him
not to recommend Krista to Davon anymore, Bethany is more
suitable. But she didn’t want to tell Terrence directly, so she
decided to talk to Bethany first and let Bethany discuss with
Terrence herself.
“Sure.”
Terrence didn’t refuse, Bethany looks really sad tonight, maybe
talking to Ms. Guzman will help a bit.
Terrence put his phone on speaker.
Chapter198
“Ms. Guzman was looking for you. What do you want to say? I’ll
help you respond in sign language.”
“Beth…”
Ms. Guzman familiar voice came through the radio waves, “I
have to apologize to you. Today Davon came to my studio and
said Terrence wanted him for a role in his movie. I thought you
and your husband had discussed it, he’s close with Davon and
was advocating for you for the role, which led to a
misunderstanding with Davon. When we met up that evening,
Terrence brought Krista with him, and that’s when we found
out he was recommending Krista…”
Bethany’s fingertips curled into a ball.
Oh.
She probably knew what his sweet words meant, right?
I’m afraid it’s another opportunity for them to work together as
a team, fighting for Krista to get this role!
He…such a cruel heart!
Say the softest words with the sharpest knife!
Bethany looked up at Terrence.
Chapter198
Terrence didn’t think anything of it at all, his expression was as
normal as can be.
On the phone, Ms. Guzman continued, “But I talked to Davon,
and he still wants you to play this role. Terrence is also here.
Why don’t you and your husband discuss it first? Once you’ve
made a decision, give Davon a reply!””
Terrence didn’t think Bethany needed to say anything to Ms.
Guzman, Ms. Guzman made things very clear.
