Chapter276
Put her in the front seat, Terrence got in the car, the black
Maybach disappeared from Vespera Villa.
He had to take her away from here.
Lately, too many random people had broken into Vespera Villa,
so he never really got a chance to sit down and talk with her.
On the way, Bethany kept holding the dagger tightly.
Terrence didn’t even dare to speed up, afraid that if he braked
by accident, it would hurt her.
The car went along a wide asphalt road, and finally headed onto
a narrower section.
Bethany stared blankly out the window, and the road started to
look more and more familiar.
It was actually near the University of Rivermond.
It was the place where Bethany had lived for four years.
Rental apartments near the school.
At night she wanted to go out and sell quilting, so she didn’t live
Chapter276
at school. In the early days, she lived on Cassie’s support and
scholarships. She rented the cheapest place.
Later, after she was able to take some jobs and things got better,
she switched to a one–bedroom apartment, and the place looked
a lot nicer inside.
Terrence had been here once, to pick her up to get their
marriage certificate.
After getting married, she canceled the lease.
Terrence parked the car, went to the passenger side, and still
carried Bethany out from inside.
Entered the elevator, went straight to the ninth floor.
It was the floor she used to live on. Bethany didn’t know why he
suddenly wanted to bring her here.
909 was her room number, and the lock had even been changed
to facial recognition. She got in easily.
The furniture inside was still like it was when she used to live
there.
After seven years, that familiar feeling still came back.
The space wasn’t big, just forty or fifty square meters, with a
Chapter276
small terrace, but for her at that time, it was a really cozy haven.
Terrence put her on the little fabric sofa in the living room and
looked at her carefully. Then he said slowly, “Seven years ago, I
bought this place and put it under your name. You lived here
for four years, so you should have feelings for it. I only changed
the lock, didn’t touch anything inside.”
On the wall behind the sofa, there were several embossed
quilting–framed pictures in different sizes. They looked really
artistic and had a lifelike 3D effect. Years ago, Terrence didn’t
look closely and thought they were just some store–bought
decorations.
Only now did I know, it was from Bethany.
Bethany’s fingertips curled a little around the dagger.
What was the point of him saying this now, did he want to
move her?
Sorry, not possible.
Terrence saw she looked listless, holding that dagger in her
hand, and said in a low, hoarse voice, “About last night… I’m
sorry, I… lost control for a moment.”
Explained very calmly and gently, even kind of wanted to reach
Chapter276
out and touch the cheek he’d pinched blue.
Bethany lifted her eyelids and met Terrence’s eyes, which were
as deep as the sea, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled
up in a ridiculous smile.
Their marriage was about to end.
He kept putting on those romantic acts, and kept stabbing her
heart till it bled.
Bethany’s cold laugh stung Terrence’s eyes.
Last night, he went too far.
“It was my fault, I admit it, Beth…” He suddenly grabbed her
hand, freed one hand, took away the dagger she was gripping
and tossed it aside, crouched down, and guided her hand with
his, hitting his own face. “Go ahead, hit me, hit me until you’re
not mad anymore, okay?”
