After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763

Winter looked up at the man who had taken her water bucket. He was strong and clearly a farmer, with dark skin and calloused hands. He was looking at her with concern, noticing how delicate she looked compared to the other women in the village.

Despite being six months pregnant, Winter still appeared much more lively than the other women in the village. Her skin was fair and flawless except for her protruding belly. From behind, she still had a slender waistline that only revealed her pregnancy when viewed from the front.

This made Winter stand out even more in the small village.

Rey was already 38 years old but he hadn't found a wife yet. His family had been poor when he was younger and his parents were sickly until they passed away, leaving him alone.

He made his living by fishing on the riverbank. He worked hard every day on his small boat to catch fish from dawn till dusk and earned some money along with it.

But because of his age now, most of those who should have gotten married in their village already did so long ago; there weren't many unmarried women left like him anymore.

So when Winter arrived half a year ago as an orphaned mother-to-be, Rey became interested in her right away.

Winter not only looked beautiful but also had a kind heart that attracted Rey even more.

He often helped Winter chop wood or brought fish or noodles to share with her.

Many people by the riverbank watched them together which made Winter feel embarrassed sometimes.

She reached out again to grab Rey's water bucket, saying, "Rey, you don't need to help me; I can do it myself."

"You're pregnant now; how can you carry water? I'm going back anyway, so let's go together," replied Rey without hesitation as he picked up both buckets of water for them both.

In the village, they got drinking water from either fetching it directly from this clear river or carrying it home using buckets over their shoulders.

Although life here wasn't as comfortable as living in cities where everything is convenient and modernized, but for Winter, this place gave her peace like never before.

The villagers were simple-minded folks who worked hard during daylight hours and rested at nightfall except for gossiping about others' business which happened quite frequently too!

Winter didn't mingle much with these gossipy women though; instead she spent most of time alone inside her little wooden house doing needlework while waiting for childbirth soon approaching fast!

She bought some fabrics herself, sewed clothes and blankets personally by hand just for her and Clark's baby!

Thinking about how Clark would be born into such primitive conditions instead of growing up within The Wilson Family saddened Winter deeply...

However... the Wilson family were all ruthless and unscrupulous, and when Clark transferred his property to her, Cameron took it all away.

Luckily, she had taken her own secret money when she escaped. She had been with Wilson Entertainment for so many years and Clark had never mistreated her. At least she had saved up some money, enough to live comfortably with her child in this small village.

She just couldn't show off her wealth.

People's hearts were unpredictable. When she first escaped from the Wilson family, she wandered around remote places.

Finally too tired to go on, she fainted at the entrance of the village. It was the neighbor who brought her back and let her stay in this empty little wooden house.

So usually she lived frugally and kept up with the villagers' standard of living.

She was afraid that if there was anything unusual about herself, the village would not tolerate it.

But she also knew that there were many men in this village who coveted her if it weren't for being pregnant...

She knew Rey was a good person but Winter's heart died with Clark long ago.

Whenever it was quiet at night and Winter thought of Clark, there would be a pain in her chest that made it hard to bear.

She didn't know how he was doing now; he got a one-year reprieve before his death sentence... The deadline was coming soon.

Rey carried a water bucket back home for Winter. "Winter, if you need anything in the future, make sure you call me okay?"

"Thank you, Rey." Winter smiled as she said, "I bought some fruit at market two days ago; have some."

"You're pregnant; eating more fruit is good for you but I don't want any." Rey laughed kindly, "I went fishing early this morning and caught several big lobsters for you; I'll bring them over later."

"No need..." Winter didn't want to owe anyone favors since Rey always looked after them anyway. But Rey ignored what they said directly, turned around and walked away.

After a while, he came back carrying several large lobsters, "This kind of lobster meat is tender yet nutritious; our poor village can't compare with cities where meat and milk are affluent. Eat well so your child will grow strong."

Winter declined politely but then a woman passing by their door spoke sourly, "Winter, why won't you take something free? If I were you, I'd take them right away!"

"Phoebe, it's not easy for Rey to catch fish, and catching shrimp must have taken some effort too. If I just enjoy the fruits of his labor like that, it would be too much." Winter said as she pulled out two hundred dollars from her pocket. "Rey, consider this me buying from you."

Rey became anxious upon hearing this. "Buying what? People in our village were born by the river and we've been eating these crayfish since we were young. It's just a common thing. Why do you give me money?"

He turned around angrily and walked away.

Winter tried to catch up with him but he was tall and big while she had a big belly so she couldn't keep up.
