Chapter 565 Life Seemed Trivial
A fiery torrent of wrath and disdain arose in Summer.
Anger thrummed through her veins as she shattered all her objects in the master bedroom.
“How could this happen? I have no interest in Arnold–why did I marry him and spend the rest of my life with him?” She was trembling with rage.
Since Dexter publicly revealed Josie’s identity at her birthday banquet, Summer became the laughingstock of the entire Wavery City, with people accusing her of being a wanton woman trying to break apart a married couple.
Even she couldn’t believe that Dexter would risk offending her and the entire Olsen family for the sake of Josie.
Was Josie really that important?
Summer was exhausted from her outburst and sat on the floor, panting tearfully.
When Claudia arrived, she found Summer in such a disheveled state that was not befitting of a young, dignified woman of her status. Claudia heaved a sigh softly, “Get up.”
Summer heard the sound and looked up at Claudia’s feet, feeling even more aggrieved. “Why did Father arrange it this way? You both know that I don’t like Arnold Carter.”
She remained still, so Claudia had to bend down and help her up. “Arnold is a good man. He has been there for you all these years, unwavering. Even if you don’t love him, you should be grateful.”
Summer couldn’t deny her gratitude towards Arnold Carter, the only person who visited her during her time abroad.
“But, Mother, being grateful is not love.”
“Then who do you love? Dexter?” Claudia reached out and tidied her disheveled hair. “Sum, he has already openly acknowledged his wife on your birthday–he doesn’t love or care about you. If you persist, you will ruin your own life.”
Summer sat opposite her, and tears welled up. She suddenly asked, “Mother, I heard from Father that were surprised when Josie appeared. Why?”
She was desperate for an answer. Thus her eyes fixated on Claudia, not daring to blink.
