Chapter 76 Ashley Begged Me

Hearing her words, I became somewhat worried and interrupted her, “Rachel, don’t get involved in

Henry’s matter anymore, the police will have their plans.”

She clicked her tongue and said, “What about Carley from the Hinton family? That day in the small

building, Henry had asked Ashley to find a way to deal with Carley. Don’t think she wouldn’t do it!”

Of course, I knew what kind of person Ashley was. Now that Walter was preparing to send her away,

she might not even have the chance to make a move. What I was more worried about now was Rachel.

Speaking into the phone, I said, “Don’t worry about others, just take care of yourself. Don’t do anything

too dangerous, you hear me?”

“Got it!” I responded, probably annoyed by my chatter, she said directly, “I have things to do, let’s talk

another day!”

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

The phone was hung up, and I couldn’t help but sigh. I didn’t know if it was because of her profession

as a journalist, but I always felt that Rachel was not only curious, but also loved to take risks. This was

a good thing, but not necessarily a good thing.

After sitting on the bed for a while, I finally got up and went downstairs. I had assumed that Walter

would have gone to the office by this time, but unexpectedly, he was still in the villa.

When I went downstairs and saw him in the kitchen, I was a bit taken aback. Why wasn’t he at work

and what was he doing in the kitchen?

When in doubt, he probably heard some noise and turned back to look

at me, staring at me and said, “Awake?”

I nodded, walked over to his side, and noticed that he had an apron tied around his waist, seemingly

cooking something. I couldn’t help but glance into the kitchen.

“Red dates bird’s nest,” he began, looking at me, “Roy said his sister- in-law used to eat this when she

was pregnant. It’s good for both the pregnant woman and the fetus.”

I was stunned for a moment, feeling an indescribable taste in my heart, very bitter. I didn’t have a child

in my belly, what good would it do?

From the day I met Walter, I knew he would be a good father and a responsible husband. Regardless

of love or not, he was always good to his wife and children. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

If I could have lived with him, perhaps this life would have been a good choice.

Looking at him, I opened my mouth and said, “Thank you.”

Seeing me say thanks, he slightly furrowed his handsome brows, looking at me and said, “We are

husband and wife, there’s no need to constantly have ‘thanks’ on our lips.’

I forced a smile and didn’t say much more. Even if he had explained Ashley’s situation, the fact

remained that I didn’t have a child. Carley had only given me two months to divorce him, and one

month wast already about to pass.

Even if he had the intention, but Carley on the other hand…

Something that happened five years ago!

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered Owen, whom I had seen in the alley before. If Owen were to

events from five years ago, perhaps Carley could…

As for the child…

Walter placed the cooked red date bird’s nest in front of me, noticing my somewhat unnatural

expression, he said, “This is my first time cooking this, can you see if it’s edible?”

Where was I in the mood to taste anything at that moment? After taking a perfunctory sip, I looked at

him and said, “I have something to tell you, I actually didn’t…” get pregnant.

Before I could finish the last two words, a sound came from outside the door.

“Walter, why?” Ashley burst in suddenly, so suddenly that both Walter and I were taken aback, turning

to look at her.

Ashley, wearing a loose coat, rushed in with disheveled hair and a worried look on her face. As soon as

she entered, she grabbed Walter’s hand and looked at him tearfully, “Walter, why did you send me to

Aeledge? Why? You know very well that he can easily find me abroad. You promised me that you

would protect our mother and child.”

Him?

Henry?

I slightly furrowed my brows, so, she came because of the matter that Walter wanted to send her

away?

Seeing her panicked and frightened appearance, a hint of heartache showed on Walter’s handsome

face. He helped her sit on the sofa and comforted her, “I’ve arranged everything in Aeledge, he doesn’t

have the ability.”

Tears streamed down Ashley’s face as she shook her head recklessly,

“No, I won’t go, I won’t go, Walter, please, don’t make me go.”

As she spoke, she turned her gaze towards me, suddenly dropping to her knees in front of me,

clutching my legs tightly, and crying out hoarsely, “Tabatha, it was you who had Walter send me away,

wasn’t it? I beg you, sister, don’t send me away. I promise, once the child in my belly is born, I won’t let

him take anything from you. My child and I don’t want anything, just let me stay in the country.”
