"Wuwu..."
Edward... how could you be so cruel to me?
"Ashley." Just as I was crying sadly, a warm and anxious voice came from the top of my head.
I looked up and saw William getting off the car with an umbrella. After seeing him, I hugged him directly as if I had seen a life-saving straw.
"William, what should I do? I am so sad." At first, I thought that if I told Edward about the child, at the very least, he would hate Betty a little. But... he actually asked me to let Betty go.
After knowing that Betty had killed our child, he asked me to let Betty go?
Why should I let her go? What qualifications did he have to let me do that?
"Do you love Edward so much?" William wiped the raindrops on my face and said in a deep voice.
I bit my lips and looked at William with blurred eyes. I couldn't tell if it was the rain or tears falling from my eyes.
"I don't love him. I don't want to love him anymore." I hugged William's body and growled at him.
I really didn't want to love him anymore.
Love was really painful.
"Ashley, you are a fool." William hugged me tightly and kissed my eyes. "William, can you help me? Can you help me forget Edward?"
I was so sad. I was in the depths of despair. I shouldn't be like this. Look at myself, I didn't even know myself.
"Okay." William stared at me with his deep and handsome eyes for a long time. When he picked me up and was about to carry me into the car, a hoarse voice came from behind us.
"Ashley..."
Was it Edward?
I slowly turned around and saw Edward who also got soaked in the rain.
His clothes were a little messy, and his black hair was tightly stuck to his handsome face. Paul was standing behind him with an umbrella, trying to keep him from the rain, but he pushed Paul away and just looked at me stubbornly.
"Ashley., don't go, don't leave with William."
Why did Edward chase after me? Didn't he care about Betty all the time?
I got out of William's arms and walked to Edward. Looking at his pale and handsome face, I slowly said, "Edward, don't be like this."
"Even if you look like this, I won't let Betty go. As I said, she has to pay the price."
"I don't want anything, Ashley, I don't care about Betty anymore. Let's go home, okay?" Edward looked at me earnestly. For the first time, he spoke to me in such a sincere voice. He didn't want anything, not even Betty, just like a promise.
He was making a promise. He was telling me that he no longer cared about Betty and all he wanted was me.
I lowered my head and said with a wry smile, "Edward, do you really... want nothing? Don't you even care about Betty?"
"Yes, I don't want anything. I just want you. Let's get out of here, okay?" Edward looked at me with a bitter smile and said in a hoarse voice.
"But, I don't want you anymore." I raised my chin and said indifferently to him.
"I... don't want you anymore. I'm no longer that stupid Ashley."
"Ashley, leave William, he is not a good person."
"For me, you're the one who hurt me. In this world, the person who hurt me the deepest is you, Edward."
I shook off Xi Edward's hand forcefully and mocked him.
Edward looked at me in a daze and said in pain, "Ashley, I was wrong. I'm so sorry. Let's go home, just like before, okay? I don't want the company anymore, and I don't want to take any responsibilities. Let's get out of here, and I'll take you away. We can go somewhere that only us..."
"Why do you continue to lie to me? You really try your best for Betty."
I interrupted Edward, looked coldly at him, and said. The reason why he was like this was just to protect Betty.
In the final analysis, in his heart, there was nothing more important than Betty. Even he knew that the child who was killed by Betty was his, he still asked me to let Betty go.
I wouldn't believe his words anymore.
"Edward, you have hurt Ashley too much. Do you think that her feelings could be used again and again?" I didn't know when William came to the front of me and Edward. He was supporting my body so that I wouldn't fall to the ground.
"William, as I said, Ashley couldn't be involved in the personal animosity of us. She knows nothing and she is innocent." Edward growled at William in a hoarse voice. He raised his fist and swung it at William.
William grabbed his hand with one hand and said coldly, "Edward, you really think highly of yourself. I like Ashley. You don't know how to cherish her, and I will cherish her. From now on, Ashley is my wife, and I will marry her. Live your life with Betty."
William sneered and pushed away Edward's hand. He held my hand, turned around, and walked to the car.
"Ashley... don't go with William."
