Chapter 397
Although I couldn‘t believe what I saw in front of me, I even told myself that things might be different from what i thought.
I should trust him.
But I couldn‘t.
If they had nothing to do with each other, why did he hide it from me? Why did Connor stop me?
Why did they have to book such a romantic restaurant half a month in advance?
I stared blankly at them for about two minutes before I turned and left.
Because Herbert had his back to me, he probably couldn‘t see me at all, and the girl didn‘t know me, so Herbert didn‘t know that I was here at all.
This was also what I wanted to achieve. I didn‘t know how to face this situation now. In fact, I really wanted to go over and ask him who this woman was. But I didn‘t do this, because I felt that it was really unnecessary, although my heart was about to break.
And I was afraid that I would cry in front of him. I didn‘t want to cry in front of another woman.
I didn‘t seem to have the right to question him, because I was his ex–wife. Haha, it was such an awkward identity.
He refused to marry me again. It turned out that it was because of this reason. My heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
I turned around and walked out. I stretched out my hand and pressed the elevator button in a daze, feeling my mind go blank.
Connor caught up to me and began to explain in a low voice, “Miss Stepanek, it‘s not like what you saw. There’s a reason why Mr. Wharton is doing so.“.
Hearing this, I couldn‘t help sneering. “What reason does he have? Did someone force him to come to this couple‘s restaurant with that girl?”
My finger was pointing at the advertisement poster on the wall. The picture on the advertisement poster was like a dream. In the fancy revolving restaurant, there were couples everywhere. Connor frowned. “Miss Stepanek, I‘ll help you find a hotel. Let Mr. Wharton explain it to you in person, okay? At this time, the elevator came. I smiled bitterly and said, “What else is there to explain? It’s really not necessary
I was completely enraged. I didn’t want to hear him say another word.
After that, I turned into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the first floor.
The instant the elevator doors closed, Connor’s face was isolated from the outside.
The next moment, tears welled up in my eyes.
I had been holding it in for a long time. Although it had only been a few minutes, it was like a century to me.
When there was no one in front of me, my tears came out. I reached out to wipe my tears. I didn‘t understand why Herbert would do this to me.
He said that he loved me and lived with me.
Behind me was Connor’s voice.
“But now, it‘s already so late...” Connor said in a rather conflicted manner.
I interrupted him. “There‘s a train back to A City tonight. I can make it.”
“I‘ll take you to the train station.” Connor immediately decided.
“There’s no need. After they finish eating, you have to send them back.” I looked up at the bright revolving restaurant in the night sky.
Connor looked at me. He didn‘t say anything, but his eyes were clearly still filled with worry.
Then, I said, “Connor, don‘t tell him that I‘ve been to New York. Let me keep my last bit of self esteem in front of him.”
“Alright.” Connor nodded.
Then, I tried my best to smile, turned around, and disappeared into the night...
Sitting on the train in the evening and looking out of the window at the night, I felt very confused.
The family of four had just reunited. The laughter in the living room seemed to still be ringing in my ears, and the scene of Herbert playing with Lucas and Lucky was still in my mind.
The family of four that I once thought were happy turned out to be an illusion. But even if it was an illusion, I was not willing to expose this fact. I suddenly looked down on myself. Once upon a time, I was not a person who could tolerate such a thing. But today, I didn‘t have the courage to question him face to face. The lights on the train dimmed, and the tourists also leaned against their seats to rest. However, was not sleepy at all, and my head hurt. The next morning, I got off the train.
