Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO Chapter 109

Chapter 109 The Truth of the Past?

“At that time, I woke up from the fire. When I saw that Julia was not around, I desperately searched the entire warehouse but did not see her,” Kerwin said in a low voice, “she disappeared. In addition to the fact that my rope was untied, I originally thought that she left first or someone else came in to take her away and undid the rope for me. Thus, I left. However, the police officers who were investigating later told me that this was impossible.”

“Why not?”

“Because they found Julia’s burnt body at the scene. She was still tied with the rope. They made a DNA comparison and confirmed that it was her. Not only that, they found a blade on the ground. This blade should be used to cut off my body’s rope, and there were traces of blade scratches on my hand.”

This time, Betty was utterly shocked.

Indeed, everything present proved that Kerwin had used a blade to cut open the rope himself and then fled by himself without worrying about Julia.

However, that was not what Kerwin remembered.

Based on common sense, the most probable possibility was that Kerwin had lied and concealed the brutal acts he had committed.

“So, this is the truth of what happened back then.” At this moment, Kerwin slowly said.

He raised his head and looked at Betty, “One is the version in my memories, and the other is the version that everyone investigated.

Betty, which one do you believe?”

Betty didn’t expect Kerwin to suddenly ask her this, so she couldn’t help but be stunned.

She looked into Kerwin’s black eyes, which were mysterious like obsidian.

Vaguely, she seemed to be able to see his indistinct expectations below.

Betty’s eyes had a flash of heartache, and she said softly, “I believe you.”

Kerwin’s eyes flickered for a moment, but soon, he said, “Whether what you said is true or not, I am still delighted to hear you say so.”

As he spoke, he looked away. Unexpectedly, Betty suddenly squatted in front of him, took his hand, and looked at him, who was in a wheelchair.

“I’m serious.” Betty sincerely said, “Just like back then, when you chose to believe me, I also believed you. No matter how conclusive the evidence is, I will believe you as long as you say it.”

Betty’s words were so earnest that each word seemed to have pierced into Kerwin’s heart.

Kerwin’s heart trembled slightly. He couldn’t help but hold Betty’s hand tightly.

All these years, even his grandfather, who had watched him grow up, had never truly believed in him.

Although he never cared about other people’s views and opinions, he did care about Betty’s.

If Betty was also like others, and she thought he would abandon the person he liked, he might still get hurt.

But she said that she believed him.

Looking at Betty’s bright eyes, he felt a faint warmth in his heart. But at the same time, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. “But Betty, do you know? Sometimes, even I don’t believe in myself.”

Betty was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“When they investigated this case ten years ago, I was hypnotized and got psychological treatment to prove that what I said was true. Indeed, all the experts proved that I was not lying. Still, the psychologist said I might have been injected with the knockout drug at that time, plus the stimulation, so I had a memory disorder. I forgot how I untied the rope with a knife and how to abandon Julia. I may make up a false memory because didn’t dare to face my own mistakes.”

Betty was stunned. She blurted out, “How is that possible?”

She knew Kerwin was so powerful that there was no room for doubt. How could he deceive himself and escape?

“Yes, I also think it’s impossible.” The bitterness on the corners of Kerwin’s mouth deepened. He reached out to touch Betty’s cheek and said in a low voice, “But at that time, I was a little afraid. After all, I was not mature enough.”

Betty was stunned.

Yes.

She almost forgot that Kerwin ten years ago was not the Kerwin she knew. To put it bluntly, he was just a child. Such a terrible kidnapping case would bring him great fear.

But the trance only lasted a moment, and she quickly held Kerwin’s hand. When she spoke again, her tone was full of firmness. “It won’t happen, Kerwin. Even if it were you ten years ago, you would never do that kind Chapter 109 The Truth of the Past?

of thing.”

Betty’s words were spoken without hesitation as if there was a force behind them. Kerwin looked at her and could not help but smile.

“Betty, you are so stupid.” He reached out to hold her little face, and his tone was full of strange love. “You blindly trust others, and be careful not to be deceived.”

“You definitely won’t lie to me.” Betty blurted out. But after she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but take another look at Kerwin. She probed, “Right?“.

The smile on Kerwin’s face widened. He bent down, and his lips landed on Betty’s forehead.

It was a feather–like gentle kiss. It went down from Betty’s forehead to the tip of her nose and then to her lips.

“I won’t lie to you, Betty.” After the kiss, he said in a low voice, “But you have to promise me that you will protect yourself.”

Betty was a little confused by Kerwin’s tickling kiss. When she heard the second half of his sentence, she looked up in a trance.

“Protect myself?”

“Yes.” Kerwin looked at Betty in front of him and said involuntarily, “Do you know how scared I was when I found out that our house was on fire a few days ago?”

Betty was stunned.

She had known him for a while, but this was the first time she had heard Kerwin say that he was “scared.”

Was it because he was worried about her?

“Fire.” Kerwin looked at Betty and continued in a low voice, “They have already taken.

away the woman I liked once. I don’t want the woman I liked has also been taken away https://novelxo.com/contract-marriage-with-the-disabled-ceo/r343120.html 8/9 the second time.“.

Betty felt an explosion in her head. She was dumbfounded and looked at Kerwin in disbelief.

The woman he liked?

The second time?

What did Kerwin mean?

In fact, the meaning of Kerwin’s words was straightforward, but Betty only felt that everything was too dreamy. She did not dare to think about it carefully, let alone confirm anything with Kerwin.

Therefore, she could only look at Kerwin in a daze. Her eyes were round, and her mouth was slightly open. She was like a little goldfish that had been dehydrated.

Betty’s appearance was really too stupid. Kerwin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Only then did Betty realize something and quickly shut her mouth. She wanted to stand up.

However, as soon as she stood up, Kerwin suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

Betty fell on his lap. Before she could cry out in surprise, Kerwin grabbed her chin, covered her mouth with his thin lips, and swallowed all her cries of surprise.
