My Second Husband novel Chapter 218

"What? Didn't President Granger just call off his engagement? He's now going on a date already?"

"Who is that fox?"

As soon as she was done speaking, she suddenly had a feeling that President Granger was glaring at her. She was so frightened that she dared not make any more comments.

President Granger was truly terrifying!

At that moment, Amos's phone suddenly rang and he immediately picked up the call.

It was from the prison again. "Hello, is this Mr. Granger? Are you currently free? Miss Liam is not doing very well. We were hoping that you would come and visit her!"

Amos frowned and said, "I've told you, I won't visit her."

"Mr. Granger, we're not pitying Miss Liam. We're just calling you out of duty. Miss Liam's condition is very worrying and she had gone on a hunger strike twice now."

Amos frowned. He finally said after a long pause, "What are your visiting hours?"

"You may come over right now! There's still one hour left."

Amos checked his watch again after he hung up the call. It was 5:40 p.m.. He would still be able to make it to his 8 p.m. reservation if he could get this over with quickly.

Wendy was already waiting for Amos when he arrived.

She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and she was sitting behind the bars. She wore the standard prison uniform and she looked dull.

A smile crept across her face when she saw Amos.

"Mr. Granger, it's really hard to make an appointment with you."

Amos frowned. He said, "I thought we're even now. There's nothing more to say, right?"

Wendy sighed, "People say that men are heartless. I used to think that you were different, but now it seems like every man is the same. I can see that your legs are healed after leaving me! Congratulations."

Amos refused to expand on the topic with her. He checked his watch and said, "What do you want?"

Wendy glanced at his watch for half a second and then spoke.

"Did you know that Caleb died?"

Amos did not move. Caleb was a wanted criminal and he had been on the run for many years. He was finally arrested and he was sentenced to death. He finally got what he deserved.

However, Wendy did not seem to expect any reaction from him, so she continued.

"He tortured me all my life. He tricked me and brought me back with him. Did he really think that I really liked him? Why would I? No one will like a person who deceives and hurt them! Amos, don't you think so?"

Amos frowned but Wendy continued without pausing, "You won't be sad, I know that much. You never had any feelings for me, I know that too. However, I only found out when it was already too late! I thought I could get rid of the darkness if I tried hard enough to live under the sun. I thought you would treat me better because we were both victims in the basement. I was too stupid! The people in the dark will always stay in the dark. I've seen you at your worst so how could you possibly like me? Right, Amos?"

Amos held his breath. He did not expect Wendy to mention his past.

Amos tried to calm himself down and he spoke.

"It's useless for you to say this now. I won't forgive you after what you've done!"

"No! I don't want your forgiveness," Wendy chuckled darkly and she continued, "Could you, a person who had lived in the dark, be able to walk into the light?"

Her words were so strange and Amos could not understand her.
