The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793

Laney hesitated but reluctantly relented. “Do as you please. Live there if you want, but don’t bother me.”

She turned to leave with the trash, but George offered to help. “I’m free right now. Let me give you a hand.” ;

For the first time, Laney didn’t refuse.

Inside, Garrett exhaled a sigh of relief.

As they walked, he contemplated whether to explain the incident at the store to Laney.

By the time they disposed of the trash and returned to her doorstep, he still hadn’t mustered the courage.

Fearing Laney wouldn’t believe him, he hesitated.

Laney stood in front of her door, eyeing Garrett coolly. “Do you have something to say? If not, I’m going inside.”

After a few moments of silence, Laney furrowed her brow and turned to leave, feigning disinterest.

“Wait!” Garrett reached out, grasping Laney’s arm, his words tumbling out in a jumble. “I didn’t… I didn’t hit lan. He fell by himself. As for the divorce papers and wedding ring, he might have orchestrated it.”

His voice quivered, pleading, “Laney, can you please believe me?” Gazing into Garrett’s anguished eyes, Laney’s heart softened. “Alright, I believe you.”

His eyes sparkled with hope. “Really? You do? Then can we fire lan? I’ll help you find someone else…”

“Garrett.” Laney’s voice was weary. “I’m not going to fire lan.” The color drained from Garrett’s face as realization struck. “You’ve fallen for him?”

With composure, Laney replied, “It’s not love, but gratitude I feel towards him. During the darkest days of my life, lan cared for me and provided company. The pain from those times is etched in my memory. You, my husband, were never there.”

Waves of guilt surged through Garrett. His eyes brimmed with torment, and his lips quivered, unable to muster a defense. Laney offered a faint smile before continuing, “We’ve already accumulated countless misunderstandings. One more won’t change much. The crux of our issues is inequality. You and your family have constantly belittled, pitied, and manipulated me as if I were a mere plaything. I refuse to endure a life tethered to the whims of the wealthy and powerful, and I won’t subject my daughter to such insecurity.”

Garrett prepared to make a promise, but lan emerged from Laney’s house, cutting their conversation short.

His heart ached, as if pierced by needles.

So, Laney was already living with Ian… Garrett thought, disbelief welling up within him.

lan surreptitiously eavesdropped on the conversation between Laney and

Garrett from behind the door. Hearing Laney express gratitude rather than love towards him, disappointment washed over him.
