A black Bentley drove into a tree-lined road. The towering trees on both sides of the road fell backward. The car passed through the iron gate, through the garden, and drove inside.
The car stopped at the door. Caden got off the car first, then bent down to hold the woman up from the car.
The woman's eyes dulled and she gazed blankly, letting him hug her.
Sam the butler walked out, “Sir, you’re back?” As he spoke, he caught sight of the woman with a messy dress in Caden’s arms. Sam paused for a second when he saw the suit wrapped around the woman.
His cracked lips moved, and he bowed down with a forced smile.
The man walked past Sam, the old butler secretly glanced at it. With this look, his old eyes widened all of a sudden, staring at that dazzling redness.
“Sir, let me take that for you.” The old butler scurried forward and spoke with a dry throat. He stretched out and wanted to take the red book from Caden’s hand.
The old butler wanted to take the red book deliberately so that he could see what it was. Unluckily, the man stepped aside, dodged the butler and kept moving forth, speaking coldly, “It’s late, go take some rest, Sam.”
Sam was not reconciled, “There is no need…”
“There is no need to bother you, Sam. ” The man interrupted coldly.
“But…”
Sam was still arguing.
Suddenly!
Caden suddenly held his steps, and he stopped with the person in his arms. He turned his head a bit toward Sam and glanced at him indifferently. His lips curled up slightly, but it emanated coldness, as though there was an ice dagger darting at Sam, “You just need to do what you are told.”
He was warning him!
Sam’s face turned pale, but unwillingness was behind his eyes. He clenched his teeth and hold his impulse.
Ta, ta, ta…
As he heard the footsteps going further and further, Sam suddenly raised his head, yelling angrily along with unwillingness, “Sir, do you still remember Wallis? Do you still remember… The tortures she had gone through before her death?”

How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
