Old Dreams No Return (Serena) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 49

After my bath, I acted casually as I dried my hair and went out. The video showed Leland carrying Caitlyn into our wedding room.

I began to struggle with breathing, coughing hard, and my stomach hurt from the coughing.

Denise quickly turned off her phone and said, “No, Kaylie, don’t misunderstand. I mean, it’s not what you think. Mr. Pearson really cares about you a

lot..

I gave a bitter smile and took a sip of water, and my throat hurt too.

Denise kept explaining, “Maybe Mr. Pearson wants Caitlyn to have the baby because… well, anyway, Kaylie, don’t be mad. Mr. Pearson didn’t want Caitlyn to tell you about their thing…”

I raised my hand to stop Denise. “Don’t say anymore. I’ve already seen it. They went into my room. Caitlyn was right. They left traces of their intimacy on the sofa, in the kitchen, on our wedding bed.”

I was his legitimate wife!

I didn’t want to hear anyone tell me Leland loved me anymore. If he really loved me, he wouldn’t have hurt me. But he kept hurting me over and over

again.

Denise was silent at my words and came forward to hug me tightly, comforting me.

Kaylie, seeing you so heartbroken makes me really sad. I never want to get married and trust men.

Mr. Pearson seemed to love, care for, and be concerned about you a lot, yet he had a secret lover and kept everyone from telling you!”

My heart felt torn, but I acted calm.

“It’s fine, it’s all in the past, really. Denise, after we finish the client handover, let’s enjoy ourselves on this trip. I know a neighborhood with lots of great food. I like the cinnamon rolls. The fried fish is a specialty there, and the nearby sandwiches are delicious too.”

Denise nodded, wiping her tears.”I’ll go with you to try all the foods here.”

Tears filled my eyes again. I wiped them and nodded with a smile. “In half a month, I’ll leave. We might not see each other again, so for these fifteen days, enjoy this trip. My treat.”

Denise cried uncontrollably, covering her face, “Okay. I’ll miss you. What will I do without you, Kaylie? Can I come with you?”
