Chapter 462 A Late Explanation
The car’s engine roared as Janet sped through the empty streets, breezing through several yellow lights. Within minutes, she arrived at Nathaniel’s place.
Janet skidded to a stop, swiftly stepping out of the car. However, she hesitated in front
of the entrance.
This was the place where she and Nathaniel had lived together for three years. It was
their former “home.”
She vividly remembered the joyous feeling when she first moved in here with all her heart. And she also remembered the shattered state she left in. It was all still fresh in
her mind.
She smiled bitterly. At that time, she swore she would never come back.
Sensing someone approaching, the intelligent door lock’s lights turned on.
The surroundings were quiet and still, and Janet stood in front of the door for a while.
She slowly extended her index finger, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed it.
A clear beep sounded, indicating successful fingerprint verification.
Janet’s eyes widened slightly.
Nathaniel hadn’t removed her fingerprint access?
When they divorced, Nathaniel was so determined to strip Janet of everything that
belonged to the Webster family and give it all to Anastasia.
Why would he leave the fingerprint verification until today?
But Janet quickly let go of her concerns. Perhaps it was because Anastasia didn’t like
living in the same house as Janet did, so they moved to a new place back then.

She pinched the palm of her hand. It was useless to think about these things now. The priority was to find the person who saved her back then!
Janet took a deep breath, burdened with heavy thoughts, and pushed open the door, stepping inside.
Passing through a flower–lined path, she rang the doorbell of the villa’s ground floor.
The door was quickly opened, and Nathaniel appeared at the entrance, still wearing the
shirt he had worn for the dinner.
He stepped aside. “Come in.”
Janet walked into the foyer, glancing around at the furnishings with a sense of
bewilderment.
She felt as if she had stepped into a black hole, traveling back to the time before their
divorce.
Everything here was so familiar, exactly the same as before the divorce, even the scent
in the air hadn’t changed.
Nathaniel bent down and handed Janet a pair of new slippers.
Janet put on the slippers and absentmindedly looked at the shoe rack by the door.
Nathaniel followed her gaze. “What’s wrong?”
“This shoe rack, didn’t I bring it back from the antique market? Why hasn’t it been
replaced?”
Nathaniel’s face turned pale for some unknown reason as he stood against the light. His stomach felt as if a heavy stone had dropped into it, causing intense pain.
He coughed and covered his mouth. “I got used to it. I got used to all the traces you left
behind, so I didn’t want to change anything.”
He led Janet to the sofa and poured her a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.
“Do you remember this tea set? It was the New Year’s gift you gave me.”
Janet lifted the teacup, and the steam carried the gentle aroma of tea, moistening her
eyes.
Indeed, it was the one she carefully selected after a month of searching through
countless shops.
Unfortunately, Nathaniel never even opened the box and left it in a corner.
Janet sipped the tea, swallowing the bitter memories along with it.
Nathaniel didn’t cherish it at the time, but now he used it to miss Janet.
Janet didn’t feel moved; instead, it was more like eating expired food, causing nausea.
Nathaniel was still lost in his memories. “And this carpet, it was…”
He paused for a moment, unsure if it was just his imagination, but the pain in his stomach intensified.
“When I saw you, you were already outside the car. So, I believed someone must have taken you out of the burning vehicle before I arrived.”
“After the car explosion, you passed out, and I took you to the hospital. Since I had an
