Chapter 285 I’m an Idiot!

Finished
Alfred had been played by Zoey from start to finish. But every chance she used was one he had handed to her himself.
What excuse did he have left?
In the end, he had only acted that way because he trusted Nella’s love. He took her feelings for granted. He treated her coldly. He ignored her.
If he had cared even a little more or felt any guilt, then when he left Glacieroth and returned home, he would have known that Zoey was safe. He should have called Nella first.
But he didn’t. He held onto his pride and waited for her to contact him.
Now, it was painfully clear.
And the clearer it became, the more he understood one thing. There was no way he could salvage this marriage.
He had pushed her away.
He deserved it. There was no one else to blame.
A sharp pain twisted in his stomach again.
The cramping pain spread through his nerves and made his head even clearer.
He pressed one hand against his stomach and clenched his phone with the other. His knuckles turned white, but he didn’t notice.
He kept scrolling through his call history.
In the missed calls he found several from his in-laws, dated to the time he was in Skiland with Zoey.
That was also the day Zoey had taken photos with his phone and dropped it, shattering the
screen.
“Haha.”
He was an idiot.
The trick was full of holes. Yet because he saw Zoey through the lens of a “life saver,” that filter had blinded him to all her dirty moves.

Albed didn’t look well at all
Sweat keja forming om hus forehead, Sergio honestly feared his boss might be wheeled straight
Suddenly, he saw Alfred grab his phone in panic and dial a number
The phone rang, for a long time before it was answered,
The dull light in Alfred’s eyes flared up at once. “Nella?
“Anything?”
He hesitated, then asked softly, “Can you come to the hospital to see met 1 need to talk to you?
“I’m busy right now, I can’t come” Sella said, “If you have something to say, say it on the phone?
From her side, Alfred could hear noise-like a street, or maybe a mall. People passing by, Voices everywhere,
The light in his eyes dimmed again. “Then, when you’re free, he asked quietly, “can you come see me at the hospital?”
His voice sounded low and pleading
Sergio stood frozen. In his entire life, he had never imagined seeing this proud man beg, so humbly,
The phone went silent.
For a moment, Alfred thought-just maybe-Nella would soften and agree. But instead, her voice returned, stiff and distant.
“I already told you. I’m busy. If you have something to say, say it now. If not, I’m hanging up”
“..”
Alfred felt like his chest had been smashed open. One sentence from her had torn a huge hole inside him.
