Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 He’s Crazy

Walter was mad, and I felt no better than him. Right now, I wanted to vent all the grievances I had held in my heart for a long time. I looked at him with red eyes. “Walter, don’t you know why I want a divorce? Ashley’s pregnant. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to keep playing dumb and playing along with you? Or do you want me to wait for you to kick me out and bring shame on the Conner family?”

I roared at him, and the pain in my heart was killing me. I had fallen for him. I had fallen for him during those two years, and only I knew how hard and painful it was to try to get away from him.

He was stunned for a second and frowned. “Ashley is pregnant?” There was a surprise in his eyes, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.

He didn’t know? Yet I was only dumbfounded for a few seconds. Ashley would tell him sooner or later, and I shouldn’t be surprised. I didn’t want to pry into his mood and turned to leave.

Yet he grabbed my wrist. “You want to divorce, because Ashley is pregnant?”

I frowned, looked back, and tried to shake his hand. “Isn’t that enough for me to divorce you?” I asked.

“No!” He pulled me into his arms and stared at me, his voice low and restrained. “If it is because of this, then hear me clearly, Tabatha. I will not agree to divorce you. I’ll deal with her and give you a reasonable explanation.”

“How?” I looked at him sarcastically. “You want her to hit you? Or do you want to form a family together with her and live with her and the baby?”

He frowned. “Can we talk nicely or what, Tabatha?”
