His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 363

"What's wrong with having the desire to lead a better life?" Wendy looked at Simon, puzzled. "As the old saying goes, 'Man struggles upwards; water flows downwards.' With my own efforts and persistence, I had the chance to live a happier life. Is there anything wrong with it? Would you rather see that, I made every possible endeavor to marry Bowen just to live a painful and miserable life with him?"

Simon didn't say a word. Wendy would never understand the definition of true love. Whatever he said to her fell on deaf ears. On second thought, he had better keep silent.

This insane woman would be difficult to have a dispute with.

"Why don't you say something?" Wendy sneered at him, and said, "Simon Gu, don't be a hypocrite. You and I are one and the same. You decided to marry Aron's mother just because of her family's wealth, am I right? Weren't you also trying to give yourself a more comfortable life? You do not have the right to look down on me, you know."

"I'm totally different from you." Simon knew that his son, Aron, was listening on the phone this whole time. Unfortunately, he had run out of chances to make a clear explanation to his son. So at this untimely moment, he choose this way to tell him that he loved his son all his life.

"At that time, when I fell in love his mother, I didn't know who she was and what family background she had. I decided to court her as dictated by my true love for her. I really loved her. I still do, even though it's been many years. And I still feel sorry for what I did to her and our son." Simon smiled bitterly. As men speak kindly in the presence of death, he continued saying, "One thing that I regret most is that I was once obsessed with you. And that I helped you hide your crimes in order to get the shares of the company. Wendy Ye, you are a deluded and shameless poor excuse of a human being, with a general lack of emotion, remorse, kindness and love. You are a curse to humankind. How could I possibly have anything in common with you?"

"That sounds like a good explanation, right?" Wendy smiled with irony. "My beloved husband, at that time, to be able to take over the company, you did help me hide my crimes. But later, you connived with me, letting our daughter marry Charles just to get the financial support from his company. In your heart, money and business have long been more important than family bonds. You had better admit that you and I are of the same kind."

Wendy's words got Simon as he lost himself in his thoughts. Yes, she was right. When did he become as evil as her?

He felt so terrible as he realized it.

He could not find a good enough reason to forgive himself. He responded in a cold tone, "There is no denying that I have done a few wrong things. But now, I have seen and done enough in my life. Wendy Ye, please hurry up. Just go ahead if you really want to kill me. Stop talking all this nonsense with me."

Aron, while listening to Wendy's revelation of her atrocities, had rushed off from where he was, all the way to the Gu family house. When Aron heard Simon's words on the phone, he finally understood that Simon only sought death in his mind because Simon did not want any more tragedies to fall on him. But at that moment, he drove at top speed, terribly fearing that he could be too late to save his father from certain death.

Only then did he realize that however he said that he hated Simon, he couldn't helping crying now that he had found out that Simon could be slipping off to his death right at that very moment. Don't people say that 'blood is thicker than water'?

He dared not make any noise. He was afraid that Wendy would do harm to his father if she found out that he had been listening.

Then he heard Simon continue speaking to Wendy, "Everything ought to come to an end, especially with me. Wendy Ye, stop hurting other innocent people. Simple as that."

"Did you know? I really don't want you to fall into the wrong path." Wendy's smile was bitter. "I have been married to you for so many years. I still love you, but why have you given up and wanted to leave me? And why won't you leave all of your property to Yvonne. Is it just because she is not a boy?"

Wendy continued, "But it doesn't matter. After you die, the three of us can divide your property equally. At least, we can get more than half of it with our combined shares. That's enough for me."

As Wendy touched Simon's face, she said, "Simon, we could have lived a peaceful life. But it is you who screwed up everything, so don't blame me for it."

Wendy saw Simon close his eyes. She said to him, "Yvonne is also your daughter. Hadn't you been so cruel, how could I have planned to kill you?"

She kissed Simon on his cheek without any nostalgia on her face. "Good bye, my love."
