Chapter 326 Have You Forgiven Me?
In the end, unable to bear the torment in my heart, I took my coat and car keys and left the house.
In the hall, my mother heard some noise and followed it out. Seeing me about to leave, she quickly asked, “It’s so late, where are you going?”
“Take a walk,” she responded. I hurriedly left the house.
This time, I didn’t drive Walter’s car, but my own. The rain was pouring heavily all the way, with water accumulating on the sides of the road, especially along the river road. Due to the low terrain, water from almost the entire city was flowing into the river from all directions.
Along the main road, I was driving slowly. As I approached the city, I noticed a car and a person by the roadside. The car was moving so slowly that it was hard not to notice.
As for the man slowly moving along the roadside, he was tall and slender, with a handsome face. He was walking in the pouring rain, completely soaked, attracting more and more attention from passersby.
But he, seemingly unconcerned, just continued to move forward with focus.
So, he was really foolish enough to walk back in the heavy rain….
Looking at that tall and slender figure, I felt a lump in my throat, unable to tell if it was anger or heartache. I parked the car on the side. of the road, got out and followed Walter, grabbing the hem of his clothes.

Grabbed by someone, Walter stopped and turned around, frowning at me with a deep, hoarse voice, “Let go…” He didn’t finish his sentence, probably because he recognized me. He frowned, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, raising his hand in an attempt to shield me from the pouring rain, “Why are you here?”
Looking at his large hand above my head, doing nothing, I felt a lump in my throat and angrily said, “Walter, do you think you’re being romantic? Do you think that by doing this, I would feel sorry for you? No, I won’t. I would only think you’re utterly stupid.”
The rain was pouring heavily, I was already soaked to the skin, the icy rain made me shiver uncontrollably. Looking at the pale-faced man in front of me, I was seething with anger.
The man looked at me, his thin lips slightly parted, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He just looked at me with reddened eyes, his Adam’s apple trembling slightly, “Let Roy take you home, it’s cold, you might get sick.”
He spoke, seemingly undisturbed, finished his words, then turned around and continued to walk forward.
In a moment of anger, I grabbed his arm and looked at Roy standing not far away, saying, “Take him back!”
Roy approached, but after Walter merely glanced at him calmly, he didn’t come any closer, just silently watching.
I never knew a person could be so stubborn. Holding Walter’s hand, my voice was almost hoarse with pain, “Walter, I told you to go back, can’t you hear me?”
He looked at me, his gaze calm and gentle, but his face was deathly pale, “I’m sorry, I never intended to hurt you, to hurt our child,
Tabatha, I was wrong.”

Just for a moment, warmth filled my eyes, tears uncontrollably surged along with the cold rain, like a dam-bursting river running wild and free.
This thorn, over time, had gradually rooted itself deep within my heart for a long time, unable to be pulled out. Day and night, it silently reminded me of his past indifference and harm.
