A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 135

"No, I want to eat myself. Edward, I'm not your prisoner." Seeing that he refused to let me go out, I couldn't help roaring at him.

"Don't be angry. You're pregnant. If you really want to go, I'll ask Paul to pick you up, but you'll come back after you finish eating. Understand?" Edward finally compromised and said to me in an extremely spoiled tone.

I bit my lips and hung up.

I looked at the phone in my hand and thought of Edward's favor and indulgence to me just now. I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart.

Edward, if you could have treated me like this earlier, we wouldn't have become like this, right?

If Edward could be so gentle to me earlier, we would still be husband and wife.

Paul was very fast. Ten minutes after I hung up the phone, he appeared in the villa. He opened the door and let me get in the car.

I sat in the car and told Paul that I was going to the Heart of Rose.

"There's no blueberry cake over there." Hearing that, Paul looked back at me with some doubts and said.

Feeling a little guilty, I raised my chin and said, "You don't know that the Heart of Rose recently launched a blueberry cake, it is very delicious. I just want to go there and have a try." Paul looked at me for a long time. I thought that I had been seen through him. But soon, he looked away, started the car, and took me there.

The Heart of Rose was in the middle of the city. I asked Paul to park the car in the parking lot and wait for me in the car. I wanted to eat something alone and I would go back after walking around.

Paul was unwilling at first, he insisted on following me.

After persuading him for a long time, he agreed to wait for me in the car. However, he said that he could only wait for me for an hour. If I didn't go back to the car in an hour, he would send someone to find me.

I promised that I would go back within an hour, then Paul was relieved to let me leave.

I walked straight into the store, looked at his car across from me, and said to the waiter who was saluting me, "Room 105."

This was the number of the private room reserved by William.

"Are you Miss Mu? Mr. Xiao has been waiting for you in the private room for a long time." The waiter heard the room number and respectfully led me to the room.

"If you need anything, you are welcome to call me at any time." The waiter took me to the room and left with a smile.

When I walked into the room, I saw William standing by the window with his back to me.

He was dressed in a casual white suit, and he looked thinner.

Time Group was bought by Edward, and the Xi's Group belonged to Edward again.

I understood his mood at the moment.

"William, I'm here." I touched my belly and called him in a hoarse voice.

William turned around and said with a familiar gentleness on his handsome face, "I'm worried that Edward wouldn't let you out."

"If I want to come out, he can't stop me." I naughtily stuck out my tongue at William.

The two of us sat on the sofa for a long time. We didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward. I felt at unease and wanted to pick up the milk to take a sip, then I heard his deep voice.

"Ashley, tell me now, are you still in love with Edward? Do you want to leave him?"

"Can I leave?" I looked at William and smiled weakly.

"As long as you say that you want to leave Edward, I will take you out of here." William reached out and held my arm and said.

"William, tell me, what do you mean by what you said yesterday?"

I didn't respond directly to him, I just changed the topic.

What I cared about most was the truth about my father's death.

"The Xis killed your father and made him a scapegoat." William looked at me and his eyes became extremely sharp.

"What did you say?" His words made me tremble all over. I clenched my fists and looked at him in disbelief.

Did the Xis make my father a scapegoat?

"At that time, a company that opposed the Xi's Group hired some killers to kill Edward and Gramps Xi. But... in the end, they decided to use your father to be the scapegoat. They clearly knew that the car was tampered with, but they still let your father drive it to relax the vigilance of those people. Because your father was the driver of Gramps Xi. If your father drove the car which was tampered with, those people would think that the Gramps Xi was also in the car."

"So... later, my father died," I said after hearing William's words.

Was this the truth of the accident?

"Everyone in the Xis is so disgusting. Ashley, don't believe any words of them." William looked at me with tears in his eyes.

I looked at William and said weakly, "William, tell me, as if because of your resentment with Edward that you cared about me and said that you loved me?"
