Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 64

Book5 Chapter4.

AT the strength seemed to have been drained from my body, whether from the illness or them, I couldn't tell.

My feet felt as though they were weighed down by lead. I desperately turned around.

Before I could leave, a sweet voice from behind suddenly grew louder.

"Juliana!"

My body trembled, and it was too late to avoid it.

Turning around, I met Amelia's eyes, which particularly lit up with excitement.

Her goal was about to be achieved, so she should be happy.

Stanley, who didn't expect me to be there, seemed visibly flustered, trying to hide something.

But Amelia gently tugged at his sleeve.

He had no choice but to walk up to me with a stiff face.

"Juliana, you must have heard what I said. Amelia is pregnant. I'm sorry. We were both drunk that day. I'll give you more money during the property division, and I can't be irresponsible to her."

Overwhelmed with guilt, he couldn't even look at me.

His gaze darted around Meanwhile, Amelia, with her hand on her belly, flaunted it to me with a look of arrogance.

"Juliana, it was wrong of me to do this, but there's nothing wrong with loving someone. Besides, you never gave Stanley a son or daughter over all these years. Should he be childless because of that? You should understand us, right?"

Her tone made it seem like I was the mistress.

If this had been before, I would have slapped her across the face for her provocation.

But now, I could only stand there dumbfounded, like an animal in a z00, utterly lost.

The person who used to support me was no longer here, so my arrogance had gone.

Yet my eyes, betraying me, still turned toward Stanley.

Perhaps, even at that moment, there was still hope in my heart.

Even if, just if, he would speak up for me?

I thought, If so, I would forgive you, Stanley. I'm dying, so please have some pity on me.
