Chapter 295 They Still Argued
I nodded, “The doctor was here just now, said the snake venom has been cleared, it’s not a big deal
anymore, a few days of rest will be fine. I’m thinking about River City.”
He looked at me, his dark pupils slightly shimmering, “Because of Daniel?”
He spat out his words one by one, making people feel uneasy. Yet, the questions he asked were all
crucial. I wanted to avoid them, but felt it was unnecessary. Daniel’s situation worsened because of me, Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
so there was no need for me to hide or choke back my responses. Besides, I had divorced Walter.
Although he had helped me, it didn’t mean that I had no freedom to be kind to others or to care about
others.
Thinking of this, I felt somewhat relieved and nodded, “His condition has worsened, and he doesn’t
have any friends or family in River City. I want to go and see if there’s anything I can do to help.”
Sebastian wasn’t there, and Daniel had said before that he had no friends or family. So, it would be
truly unacceptable if no one was there at this time.
“Care about him?” Walter spoke, still in a few concise and clear words.
I pursed my lips, nodded truthfully, and looked at him, asking, “Do you have anything else to do in
Dracview? Do you want to go back together?”
He looked at me, not speaking anymore.
I really couldn’t figure out what was going on in his head. After tidying up the bed, I was ready to go
downstairs to meet my mother. As I passed by him, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by him.
The man’s strength startled me, causing me to stare at him in confusion. “Wha…what’s going on?” I
wanted to be angry, but remembering how he had brought me out of the mountains, my heart softened
and I couldn’t bring myself to be mad.
He held my wrist tightly, looking at me, his dark eyes gloomy, “Tabatha, were you about to give yourself
to him in just two days and one night?”
I was taken aback for a moment, it took me a while to comprehend what he was saying. My heart sank
involuntarily, I frowned at him, feeling annoyed, “Walter, on what grounds are you bossing me around
now?”
He squinted, his voice lowered, “We haven’t gotten our divorce papers yet, Tabatha, you’re still my
wife.”
I frowned, realizing I had indeed forgotten. The agreement had been signed, but we hadn’t actually
collected our marriage certificate yet.
I spoke, saying, “Could you please find some time as soon as possible to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau
with me to get our divorce certificate?”
He seemed to be laughing out of exasperation, squeezing my hand and looking at me almost
helplessly as he said, “I’m not going!”
Looking at his sudden petulant behavior, I was almost amused to the point of laughter. I widened my
eyes and said speechlessly, “Walter, aren’t you bored? It was you who promised me the divorce.
Divorce is not a child’s play. You can’t just say you want a divorce and then say you don’t.”
He nodded, “Yes, it’s indeed not a child’s play. If we are to separate, we need the permission of both
parents. I was too hasty in agreeing before.”
I…
Had never seen such a speechless person.
How the face changed faster than flipping a book.
I frowned, unable to push him away, so I pretended to be in pain and said, “You’re hurting me; let me
go.”
Fortunately, he still had some humanity left in him. He let go of me, his tone softened a bit as he said,
“We were too hasty in deciding to divorce. Can you give me some more time, and also give both our
parents some time, is that okay?”
I pursed my lips. What’s there to discuss about time when it comes to divorce? It’s a done deal.
Besides, if one wants to divorce, how much can both parents say?
I didn’t want to argue with him about this. I knew what he was up to. I couldn’t hold back my words,
looking at him, I said, “Walter, don’t you want to leave?”
He paused, probably not expecting me to ask so bluntly. Then he nodded, looking at me and said,
“Yeah, I never thought about leaving. I never thought about divorcing you from the beginning to the
end.”
I…
This person did answer quite frankly.
I couldn’t quite articulate what I was feeling inside. I felt a bit upset, a bit stifled, and also a bit of
indescribable joy. Yes, I hadn’t completely let go. Seeing him recklessly saving me, coming for me time
and time again, it would be a lie to say I wasn’t moved. But the traces of the hurt were still vividly
present.
I took a slight breath, looking at him, I said, “Walter, I admit that I
used to have many beautiful fantasies about our future, but now, I can’t continue to walk with you full of
fantasies like before I remember all the good things you’ve done for me these days, I’m very grateful to
you, but I’m sorry. I still can’t continue to live with you as if nothing happened. As for the divorce, I don’t
know what you think, but I don’t want to continue with you anymore Don’t interfere in my affairs in the
future. Please find time to get the divorce certificate with me Consider it as a compensation for the
years you owe me, okay?”
