Dale’s eyes turned cold,and there was a hint of threat in his voice.
“Lenora,your parents’graves haven’t been settled yet.”
“You’re threatening me with their graves?”
Last month,Dale was kidnapped.Her adoptive parents happened to see it and tried desperately to stop the kidnappers.In revenge,the kidnappers stabbed them dozens of times.But because of that,Dale got the chance to escape.
By the time Lenora rushed to the hospital,her adoptive parents had already died.She was so overwhelmed with grief that she miscarried on the spot.It had been a baby boy she had waited three years for—already fully formed.
At the moment when she was the most heartbroken and helpless,Dale was comforting Megan,who had rushed over,worried about him.
Later,the cemetery where her adoptive parents were buried had to be relocated because of property issues.Dale had promised again and again that he would find them a good burial place with a proper location.
But now…
Back in the present,her heart felt as if it were being tightly squeezed,the pain tearing her apart.
Tears streamed down Lenora’s face.
“Dale,do you even have a heart?”
Her question was like a knife stabbing into Dale’s chest.He realized he had spoken impulsively and was about to explain something.But Lenora had already bent down,her voice hoarse and broken.
“I’m sorry.”With red eyes,she looked at Megan beside him.“Is that enough now?”
All her dignity and pride were shattered under his pressure.
She could still seem to hear the promises he once made with such certainty.
“Nora,I will make you the happiest woman in the world.”
“Your parents are my parents.I will take good care of them.”
“If you have our child,I will treat you like a queen.That child will be the proof of our love.”
Those sweet words had now turned into sharp knives stabbing into Lenora’s chest,making it hard for her to breathe.
Seeing her swaying as if she might collapse,Dale felt a wave of concern.
He reached out,wanting to hold her,but Lenora avoided him.
In Lenora’s eyes,he looked frighteningly hypocritical.Layers of disgust appeared in her gaze,which made Dale feel annoyed.
“Lenora,do you despise me?You know I only spoke in anger.I still love you!”
His perfunctory words made Lenora feel sick.
The next moment,she rushed into the bathroom and started retching.
