Chapter 116 She Hates Him
Darlene looked at Avery and laughed softly, âNothing special. I just want to say that he is much better
than you.
Avery, if I were you, I would divorce as soon as possible. Anyway, neither of us is happy now. Whatâs the
point of you staying with a dying person? In the past, you would leave me without hesitation.â
If it was in the past, when Darlene proposed to divorce him, Avery would have asked the people of the
courthouse to come over at once and prayed that Darlene would never
come back.
Then, on the next day or the same day, Avery would immediately marry Vivian.
Averyâs face completely darkened, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.
Avery thought, why is Darlene so eager to leave me? Has she already taken a fancy to Gustave? Or
does she have anything to do with Gustave?
Now Darlene knows that she and Gustave are old acquaintances, and Gustave even
saved her life. She must be happy.
Is she glad that she finally has a reason to openly come to Gustave after she divorces
me?
Thinking of this, Avery pressed harder on Darleneâs shoulder.
He raised one hand and wiped Darleneâs lips with his finger. For some reason, he asked.
âHe never touched you like this, right? You and Gustave havenât done anything intimate, have you?â
Avery actually had doubts about some things once again. He remembered that time when he had left
Darlene in Twilight Paradise.
After that, Avery went to look for Darlene, but he saw Darlene come out of the bedroom of Gustaveâs
villa. She still wore Gustaveâs shirt and slippers.
That matter had always been a thorn in Averyâs heart. It was not easy for him to get over it, but today, he
clearly recalled it again.
Apart from the time when they were in the orphanage, Darlene and Gustave had not
known each other for a long time. How could they be so close?
Could it be that there was really something between them?
Such a guess made Avery very unhappy as if someone had touched his private stuff in a place he could
not see.
He stared at Darlene and asked, âWhy donât you say anything? Darlene, donât tell me that you and
Gustave really had something behind my back.â
As soon as Avery finished speaking, Darlene glared at him with a face full of disgust and slapped him in
the face.
âYou make me sick!â
Avery was so angry that he forgot that he was going to take Darlene to the hospital. He pressed her
shoulder and blocked her in the corner between the seat and the car door.
âIf I make you sick, are you innocent and virtuous? How many times have I told you? Iâm not interested in
what happened to you in the orphanage. Itâs all over. Youâd better forget it as soon as possible.â
Averyâs voice was cold and he approached Darlene aggressively. âDonât act like those
soâcalled lovers in front of me.
âDarlene, youâd better understand that you are still my wife now. We havenât divorced
yet.
âIt doesnât matter how much you and Gustave have gone through. If he has anything to do with you right
now, he will be a home wrecker. Itâs immoral.â
Darleneâs hands were trembling. When she raised her hand again, Avery grabbed her
wrist and pressed her arm against the car window.
Avery stared at her, his eyes red as he sneered, âWhat? Did I say something wrong, or , âWhat? Did I say
something wrong, or did I poke your sore spots?
âLook for the person who saved you? Look for a longâlost little girl? Are you filming a TV drama? Whatâs
the difference between this and finding a married lover?â
Avery could feel that Darlene was furious. They were so close to each other, and he could clearly feel
that Darlene was trembling.
But Avery could not control himself. He thought, we are a legal couple.
However, why can Gustave always make Darlene have such a big emotional fluctuation? What exactly is
that man to Darlene?
So what if Gustave saved Darlene before? So what if they are old acquaintances? Could it be better than
Darlene knowing me for ten years and loving me for ten years?
Avery pressed Darleneâs shoulder. Blue veins appeared on the back of his hands. He gritted his teeth
and said.
âLet me tell you. Donât even think about divorce. Even if you can only live for one day, you can only be
my wife.
âEven if you really die one day, I will definitely carve the words of my wife on your tombstone. Disappear
without a trace? Scatter ashes into the deep sea? Donât even think
about it!â
Tears welled up in Darleneâs eyes. Now that she heard Avery say this, her heart sank.
She laughed bitterly, âItâs been ten years, Avery. Iâve been treating you with my heart and soul for ten
years. Isnât that enough?
âThe worst servant in the Gallard family has a monthly salary of 3,400 dollars. When you had a car
accident, you were unconscious for one year and paralyzed for another year, and the salary of the
servant was doubled. I took care of you for two years, and you should pay me almost 170 thousand
dollars.â
Darlene couldnât continue, but she managed to hold on and said in a trembling voice, â170 thousand
dollars. Itâs almost the full amount of medical fees that the Gallard
family has paid for Nigel. You can take it as I have returned it to you.
âMy grandma spent your money and I spent the Gallard familyâs money. However, I have donated so
much blood for you, done so much for the Gallard Group, and taken
care of your grandma for so many years. Itâs enough to pay off.â
As Darlene spoke, her eyes were red and empty. âYou said that I owed the Gallard family and that I
should serve you.
âBut Avery, I no longer owe you anything. I have paid it off. I worked partâtime at university and earned
money by painting on the Internet in high school. I didnât spend
the Gallard familyâs money on my tuition.â
Darlene tried her best to hold back her tears, but speaking of that, she still felt a little unworthy and
unwilling.
âI never buy luxury goods. I buy clothes and daily necessities with my own money. I probably owe the
meals I have ever had in the Gallard family.
âWhat exactly do I owe? Tell me. What exactly do I owe you? What do I owe the Gallard family?â
For so many years, this was the first time Darlene had said this.
Avery recalled the past ten years and realized that the Gallard family owed Darlene even
more.
Avery could not accept this fact. He found that he really did not have much bargaining chips and
confidence to question and force Darlene to do anything.
But he could not let her go. How could he?
At this point, if he let go, Darlene could leave with Gustave in the next moment. From then on, he might
not be able to find her.
Fear seized Avery, and he even had the thought of not caring about anything. No matter what, Darlene
was his wife now. She only belonged to him.
Avery pressed his body over. When he leaned over to kiss Darleneâs lips and she struggled with all her
might, his hand reached out to the collar of her clothes.
As Avery was so close to Darlene, he heard her sob unwillingly. She hated him.
But it was also because of this that Avery could truly feel that Darlene was still alive and stayed by his
side.
