Keep you in my arms novel Chapter 142

Her heart was cold, but she could only pretend not to see anything. Noticing her small movements and the suddenly gloomy eyes, Edward grabbed her arm and explained, "it's not what you think!"

What was that?

She waited eagerly for his explanation.

Edward wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. After a long while, he said, "give me some time. I will give you a reasonable explanation."

With a flash of disappointment, she said, "in fact, you don't have to explain to me. We can cooperate according to the original agreement."

Although she said in a calm tone, her desperate eyes made him anxious. He grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving. "I just At the time when he was young and ignorant, he destroyed her. Angela, I only feel guilty for her."

At that time, he will explain to you that the woman in the bar is just his cousin, or the woman he owed, so he cares more. In this way, wouldn't it be natural for you to forgive him? ——

Guilt? It was just as what Chuck said. So should she forgive him as he wished? What's the point of it if she vent all her frustration and the two of them just struggle to blush?

"Yes! I see. Let's go back." She sneered in the bottom of her heart, but forced herself to make a slightly smile.

Anyone could tell how insincere this farfetched look was. Edward wanted to say something more, but he stopped in the end.

When they returned to the hotel, there were only the two of them left. He said, "I want to tell you everything about Vanessa."

She was more or less touched by his willing of explanation. She took out a bag of antipyretics, poured it into a glass and melted it with boiling water. "Go ahead," she said.

"When I was in junior high school, I saw my father with another woman. Later... I often saw him with different women. My mother often cried in the hall at night. I don't like to go home. I always go back late for doing homework. At that time, Vanessa often went back home very late too. She is not as smart as you. She always works hard, but her grades are poor. At that time, I wondered how could there be such a stupid person in the world. It was such a simple question. She made a mistake three times, and would be wrong again. One day, she was solving a problem of the triangular function. It was really simple, but she thought about it for half an hour. After I finished all my homework and didn't want to go home, I couldn't help telling her how to solve it. Gradually, it became a habit. At that time, we were young and naive, didn't know what romance was, but curious. She said she liked me, and I didn't reject her, so we were together. After my father knew about it, he tried every means to force her to leave. I couldn't get in touch with her these years. If it weren't for me, she might not have been exiled to that kind of place..."

He kept staring at the glass on the tea table, without looking into her eyes.

She saw that his eyes were still far-reaching, but he had no intention of continuing. She took a deep breath and asked, "is that all?"

"Yes! That's all the story!" He looked into her eyes and nodded solemnly.

The moment he responded, all her trust and hopes collapsed.

She turned her head away and took a deep breath before she looked into his eyes. Then she slowly took out a bank card from her pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it to him.

She had been staring at his indifferent face all the time. When he saw the bank card, his face turned pale.

"Miss Vanessa asked me to tell you that she didn't spend a penny of the money you have transferred to her over the past decade." When Angela said this, her voice was trembling, and at that moment, tears also flowed out.

If that was all the story he had with Vanessa, why did he give her money? If that was all, why did he deliberately hide it from her? If that was all, why did he panic when he saw this bank card?

It was not she didn't give him another chance, but he let her down too much. For the whole fifteen years, the money he gave her was enough for an ordinary person to live for a lifetime. "In the past fifteen years, he has been paying me monthly, from ten thousand to seventy thousand. How can I still be angry? When I left that year, I only wanted peace, but I didn't expect to disturb the three people."

So... He was the one who couldn't let go of Vanessa, not her.
