"She wouldn't trust me, but I didn't care. I was busy preparing for the wedding, and my career had just taken off. I was working around the clock."
"Now I'm thinking maybe it was because I ignored her at that time. I always thought that she could figure it out by herself, and that became the apple of discord."
He then stopped talking about the discord because he didn't want to talk about it again before Gentry.
But even if he didn't say it, the other two people had known what that was.
Gentry looked sullen, while Kevin nodded thoughtfully.
"So, isn't it all a misunderstanding?"
Chad nodded. "Yes, but it was caused by my indecisiveness. It's all my fault."
He looked up at Gentry and continued, "I know that you've been with Kristina for 26 years. That is also why I'm letting you go today. I didn't clarify it to her back then, so I think I owe her much. I'm sparing you today to do her a favor."
Gentry's face was pale. After a while, he gritted his teeth and sneered.
"Oh don’t flatter yourself!"
Chad didn't say anything.
He was tired, and it seemed that he wanted to end this as soon as possible...
He whispered to Kevin and then wheeled himself away.
"Gentry, It doesn't matter whose fault it was now. Let bygones be bygones. She doesn't have much time left and needs you to stay with her. So... this is the last thing I'm gonna do for her. Take care."
After that, he turned away and went out of the door.
The bodyguards helped him to get in the car.
After hearing what Chad said, Gentry had lost the power to resist.
Kevin walked up to him and squatted down. Then he said with a smile, "Gentry, what do you think? Shall we go running the transfer procedures of your properties now?"
Gentry looked up at him and didn't object. He pulled himself up and let the two bodyguards help him get out.
The procedures were not difficult for them to go through. They finished them quickly.
Kevin let him go as he promised. Gentry had a mixed feeling after hearing what Chad had said.
When he returned to his and Kristina's residence, he stood in the yard for a while instead of going in.
He looked at the closed door felt a lack of courage to knock it open.
He still remembered what Kristina had once told him.
Those grievances she had put up with, those mistakes she had made, as well as her reluctance and grudge.
Gentry met her when she was twenty before she did that thing with Chad at the wedding.
He found her so beautiful and innocent, like a free little bird in the valley. His whole world was lit up.
He fell in love with her at first sight, but at that time, they didn't have many chances to see each other.
He didn't dare to tell her that he had feelings for her.
After all, Kristina was the daughter of the Nixon family. She was adopted, but everyone knew that the Nixons treated her like their biological daughter and never allowed anyone to mistreat her.
As for Gentry...
He was still young and didn't have a career, just like any other young man of that age.
He didn’t come from a privileged family, no property to inherit, and he had no confidence to give her a lifetime promise.
Therefore, he could only bury those feelings in his heart and never let anyone know.
