Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1014

After a long silence, she looked at me and asked blandly, "What do you want to talk about?"

I looked at the divine statue and asked, "Do you believe that He'll protect you?"

She replied in a very serious manner, "If He hadn't protected me, then I wouldn't be standing here talking to you now.”

I felt speechless and could not help but think that she was going overboard.

I walked up to her side and said mildly, "You said that your family is in Hommiton City earlier. Holly plans to open up a business in Hommiton City when we go back. Will you consider joining us?"

"No," she replied, her tone carrying no emotion.

I nodded and thought about it before saying, "I really didn’t mean for all of this to happen. I wished more than anyone not to hurt any of you. I didn’t expect Franky to-"

"Enough!" She cut me off.

She looked at me with coldness in her eyes. "Do you think you’re standing on a moral high ground, Wanda Lane? Has anyone ever told you that you look very fake when you act all high and mighty like this?"

I froze, taken aback that she would suddenly say such things.

Dazaray sneered. "You probably didn't notice it yourself. You're clearly a cold and selfish person, yet you're putting on this generous and kind image for yourself. You come from a superior background and are really lucky because men are willing to protect you."

She continued after a pause, "Our lives, as well as your own, didn't come from relying on your efforts, so stop acting like you've delivered all of us from evil."

I could not refute because she was right that others were the ones who had saved our lives.

Dazaray was not done talking yet. "Truth is, you hate m e more than them but you like to act noble and kind. Why else did you keep quiet when Franky chose me? It's because you think that you'll be less guilty even if I get hurt since everyone hates me, right?"

I pursed my lips and remained silent.

It was not because I could not refute but because I actually thought her words made sense.
