Chapter 143 Donât Love Him Anymore
At night, the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier.
Darlene looked down at the figure standing outside the iron gate. She knew that Averyâs legs would feel
uncomfortable under the rain, but she just watched silently. She didnât think too much.
Darlene had once loved him to the bones, but now she realized that she did not seem to care about him
that much.
If it was the previous her who saw this scene, she would have already rushed out.
In the past, Darlene could not bear to see anything happen to Avery. For the past ten years, she felt as if
she was alive for him.
Too much care for him had long become an instinct for her body. She rarely thought
about the reason.
In the past, Darlene felt that taking care of Avery was a matter of course. The Gallard family had adopted
her and given her a family, so she should be inferior and obedient in front of the elders of the Gallard
family.
So if Avery said that his legs hurt a few months ago, she would go and get a medicine bag and warm
water for his feet without thinking.
If Avery went out on a rainy day and Darlene only had one umbrella in her hand, she would immediately
give it to him.
Avery sat in the wheelchair and smashed her forehead with a teacup. Then, Avery fell off the wheelchair.
Her first reaction was not that her head was injured, nor that she was angry. Instead, she immediately
went to help him on the ground up.
Everyone said that it was difficult to change oneâs nature. Those were her instincts that she had
maintained for ten years, but now, they no longer existed.
Just like now, when Darlene looked at Avery standing in such a late autumn cold rain, she even felt that
his legs were shaking. The wind outside the window blew the branches and leaves to sway.
Even though the wind didnât hit her, she still shivered just looking at it.
Then, she stretched out her hand, and without any hesitation, she closed the curtains.
completely.
She thought of the fact that she didnât love him anymore. So she naturally didnât care.
Her cold heart was like a fallen leaf that was blown away by the wind and buried into the ground. There
was no more ripple.
She no longer loved Avery. It was probably like taking a knife to cut off a piece of slowly rotting flesh from
her body and throw it away. It was impossible for her to not hurt. But now that things had become like
this, she did not seem to feel that it was a pity.
Avery, who was standing outside the door, probably noticed it. The moment Darlene closed the curtains,
he glanced upstairs at the villa.
He saw the room that was lit up. The lights were gone, and all the messages he sent out were like a
stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
Darlene would not come back. He could not believe this fact.
A person like her who had been obedient beside him for ten years, how could she suddenly be so cruel
and watch him stand in the heavy rain like this? She did not even come out to take a look at him.
This was the first time he had begged her, and the first time he had apologized to her. Why didnât she
take a look at him?
In the past, no matter how many terrible things he had done to her, when he would occasionally feel
guilty, he would go around and apologize to her.
For example, at the dining table, he lightly praised her for the taste of the dishes she cooked. On the way
back, he asked the driver to buy her some small things, and so on. As long as he did it, no matter how
much she felt wrong every time, she would
immediately be happy.
She was clearly a person who would not hold grudges. She was someone who would be happy and
satisfied if she could get a little bit of good. But now, she had completely cut the line between them and
separated him from her world. No matter what he said or
did, she would not listen.
Avery stood outside the iron gate until midnight. Cyrus drove over and stood beside him to hold an
umbrella for him. Cyrus advised him anxiously for a long time, but Avery just stood there without any
reaction.
Avery stood for too long, but after closing the curtain, Darlene had no actions at all..
When she really wanted to leave, from the moment she left, she no longer had any plans
to return.
Avery turned around and looked at Cyrus, who was beside him. There was a deep sense of confusion in
Averyâs voice. âWhy isnât she coming out? If I really call the police over and insist on going in to see her,
will we be finished?â
Cyrus said calmly, âMr. Gallard, forgive me for being blunt. From the moment you did those things to Ms.
Garcia, the relationship between you and Ms. Garcia has already
ended.
Ms. Garcia doesnât have much time now. If you really canât find a suitable heart, why donât you let her
spend the last period peacefully?â
As a bystander, Cyrus felt that Darlene was pitiful. âItâs been so many years, and Ms. Garcia indeed
hasnât had many good days. Why donât you just not force her?â
The rain flowed down from his forehead to his eyes, Averyâs eyes were extremely red.
and painful.
Avery turned around and got into the car. Carrying the rain all over his body, he stepped on the
accelerator and finally drove away.
Cyrus immediately got into another car and chased after him.
In the bedroom, Darlene was still sitting on the sofa.
The phone on the table was constantly lit up and extinguished. More than twenty
messages came in.
She would take a look at the first few messages, but after that, she stopped looking.
When the phoneâs battery was too low, she took the phone and pulled Averyâs number
into the blacklist.
The phone was completely quiet now. She put the phone back on the table, but her heart
could not calm down.
The past was like a movie. Scenes were replayed in her mind.
The bloody scenes, the dead child, her deaf left ear, and all the scars that still could not
be eliminated.
All of this was done by Avery. How could he pretend to be pitiful and affectionate? Why would she seem
to be heartless and ruthless?
Darlene slowly tightened her grip on the edge of the sofa until there was a knock on the door. Then,
Gustaveâs voice came in, âAre you asleep?â
Darlene took a deep breath and deleted all the text messages on the screen. She stood up and opened
the door.
Her expression had already calmed down. âNot yet. Itâs already so late. Havenât you slept yet, Mr.
Walpole?â
Gustave handed her the medicine. âThe doctor said that taking it can help you sleep.â
Darlene took it and thanked him.
Gustave looked at the window behind her. After a while, he said, âMr. Gallard hasnât left yet. If you have
something to say, you can go out and tell him. Donât worry. If you donât want to go back, he wonât be able
to take you away in a short time.â
