Chapter421
Krista’s eyes were red. “You and Bethany already filed for
divorce. I saw her from the start till now, she never once tried to
fight for custody. She really made up her mind to leave you. She doesn’t want you, but you still have me. I used to be your aunt,
and after you got married, I always kept our family relationship
proper. I never crossed the line, not even in my thoughts. But
now it’s different. I don’t have to be your aunt anymore. I don’t
want to hide my feelings for you anymore.”
“Terrence, after you got divorced, let’s be together.”
Krista finally said this sentence.
The time of his divorce w
getting closer and closer, and she
also needed to start preparing their relationship in advance.
Couldn’t wait any longer.
She looked into Terrence’s eyes, waiting for him to give her an
answer.
Terrence frowned a little and stayed quiet for a while before he
said, “Don’t think like that anymore. We’re not right for each other. Not long ago, I remember you said, seven years ago, what
happened, let’s just forget it.”
Krista didn’t expect that Terrence just said no to her.
“Terrence, you knew how I felt about you.”
“Seven years ago I could have married you without hesitation, but times have changed and a lot of things are different now. For example, your throat is healed, and I’ve gotten married and had kids. You know what I’m like–once I make up my mind about someone or something, I pretty much never change it.”
So, seven years ago, she chose to give up on him, so he wouldn’t choose her anymore?
But these days, he was clearly still as nice to her as before.
When she got hurt, he was also the first to rush to her side.
Why couldn’t it?
“Terrence…”
Terrence interrupted her, “If that’s what you’re gonna say, then
stop talking.”
He wouldn’t talk about these topics with her anymore.
Bethany minded a lot.
“Your real dad found you. If you want to accept him, think
about how to tell the two elders yourself. I didn’t want them to get hurt by this. Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”
Krista didn’t say anything more.
Terrence drove her to the gate of the neighborhood, she got out
of the car, and watched Terrence’s car drive away.
He really did have feelings for Bethany.
When he was a kid, Bethany liked to stick to him. She could tell
he really cared about that little girl.
Later, she figured out a way and tricked Bethany.
Heaven had looked after her before and let Bethany get lost.
Terrence was right, the people and things he picked usually
didn’t change.
Except for being broken or lost and couldn’t be found.
So, could she treat Bethany the same way?
Broken, or lost.
