A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 4

Fortunately, what I was worried about did not happen. Edward stood there and said nothing.

"I told you, it's not my fault!" Mark thought he was reasonable and shouted at me.-

"If you didn't drink and fight, they wouldn't blackmail you!" I was distressed by Mark's impenitence and slapped him again.

He would never know it was he who caused trouble again and again, which made my image in the heart of Edward become even more ridiculous.

Edward wanted to divorce me. Mark was not the culprit, but an ugly accomplice.

"Brother- in- law, discipline my sister. She hit me again!" Mark was beaten by me and asked Edward for help.

In his eyes, this brother-in-law was still the object of his caprice and coquetry.

"Mark, this is the last time I saved you. Behave yourself." Edward said in a deep voice and turned to leave.

Assistant Leng also went out.

Only Mark and I remained in the room.

"Sister, what does brother- in- law mean?" Mark blinked his eyes innocently.

"He won't care about you anymore." I didn't want to be angry with Mark any more, so I turned back and left because my heart was extremely sad.

Edward's words, in fact, were meant for me to hear.

Walking out of the club, I told my mother that Mark was fine.

Hearing this, my mother was very happy and specially told me, "Ashley, Edward is really powerful and able to solve this problem. You must make him happy when you are in the Xis. Don't let other women take him away, you know? Our family has to rely on Xis for the rest of our life."

"Mom, I know. I still have something to do. I'll hang up first." I suppressed my sadness and said to my mom.

I also wanted to please Edward, but I still couldn't touch him after seven years.

" Mistress, Master Xi asked you to get in the car." When I looked at the phone in a daze, the assistant came over.

I replied and followed him.

When I got in the car, Edward was making a phone call with a soft and gentle face.

On the other side of the phone, it should be Betty.

"I'll pick you up as soon as I finish visiting grandpa. It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold." When he spoke, he looked tenderly. I had never seen the tenderness before.

At this moment I finally realized that Edward was gentle. But his gentleness had never belonged to me.

Seeing me get in the car, he didn't care about me. He said a few more words to Betty, after that his face turned cold again. He said to me, "Grandpa wants us to go to the hospital together."

"Okay." I nodded.

Grandfather's health was poor, so he could only live in the hospital room on New Year's Eve. I wanted to go there early, but it was difficult to control my emotions and I was in a bad mood. I was afraid that grandpa would see it and affect his recovery.

In the whole family of Xi, the only person who was enthusiastic to me was a grandfather. I didn't want to hurt his heart.

Assistant Leng drove us to the hospital.

Edward looked at me coldly and said, "Grandpa's condition has improved. Don't forget what you promised me after his birthday which is coming in 15 days."

"I know." I looked out of the window. Did he need to remind me all the time?

He couldn't wait to divorce me and marry Betty like this?
