However, such a man like Brettley… Jude felt sorry for him at that moment.
The other moment when he felt sorry for Jude was six years ago after Bethan’s accident. Brettley locked himself up and drank himself to death.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Brettley looked at the heavy rain in the skies. He sighed heavily.
“My only current thought is to cure Nigel’s sickness no matter what.”
He had already caused Bethan to lose two children. He could not let her lose another third child.
He might not be able to mend the past, but he could try his best for the future.
Jude sighed.
Initially, he wanted to tell Brettley that he had already explained to Bethan clearly about the misunderstanding back then.
However, at that moment, hearing what Brettley said, he no longer felt the need to do that.
Even if Bethan knew that back then was just a misunderstanding, so what?
Brettley still had to be together with Fiona.
“The rain is quite heavy,”
Brettley was silent for a while before he said, “when she left, did she bring an umbrella?”
Jude, on the other end of the line, furrowed his brows in confusion. “It’s raining?”
He held the phone and rushed to the window. It was truly raining.
Jude was brought to the police station to make a statement. He had been sitting in the office all this while, he did not know about the changes in the weather outside.
“She did not take an umbrella with her, “
Jude said decisively, “she should have reached you by now.
” ..Will she catch a cold in the rain?”
Brettley paused fiercely upon Jude’s words.
Fiona’s words when they just entered a moment ago rang in his ears.
“I saw a woman, a gorgeous woman.”
“It’s raining and she did not have an umbrella with her. She’ll get a cold, right?”
Something went off in his mind.
Bethan…should not have been there already, right?
At that thought, Brettley immediately hung up. He grabbed an umbrella and rushed out into the pouring rain.
The rain got heavier. Gloomy clouds hung over in the skies.
Bethan was walking alone under the heavy rain. Her current mood was just like the gloomy skies and heavy rain.
She came over from Jude a moment ago, she felt that it was all her misunderstanding toward Brettley.
However, the moment she reached Orchard Manor, what she saw was Brettley carrying another woman in his arms.
In the end, she was one step too late. This man had already given up on her…
Perhaps Jude was lying to her?
Countless questions overwhelmed Bethan so much that she felt suffocating.
Her steps got heavier and slower.
The rain kept hitting on her body. Bethan was so cold she started to shiver.
However, Bethan could no longer care.
Her mind was only filled with Brettley. Brettley. Brettley…
She realized that she no longer understood him. She could not understand him at all.
She was extremely disappointed, so much so that she did not even hear the frantic footsteps behind her.
It was until when the raindrops no longer hit on her body that she looked up in a daze.
What she saw was a black umbrella and Brettley in black.
Bethan hugged her shoulders. She was shivering. Was this an illusion?
Was Brettley not being together with Ms. Blake? Why was he here looking at her?
Looking at Bethan turning around looking at him, a piece of Brettley’s heart was instantly ripped apart.
At that moment, Bethan’s gaze was pitiful and innocent. She looked like a small creature who ran away from home in the rain, lost and pitiful.
However…
He still hardened his heart. He said aloofly, “It’s raining. What are you doing here in the rain? Are you planning to get Nigel and Nellie to take care of you?”
Brettley’s words had no warmth in them.
Bethan bit her lips. She subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch his face to make sure that he was real and she was not hallucinating.
However, the moment she reached her hands out, Brettley dodged.
He furrowed his brows. “I’ll send you home.”
Then, Brettley stretched his hands out and picked the drenched woman up.
The temperature of Brettley’s chest and palms burned Bethan’s cold body.
She shuddered and nestled herself in his arms. This was not a dream.
Brettley carried her to the side of the car. It was until h e opened the car door and placed her in the car, then only did Bethan mutter her first sentence at Brettley, her tone trembling, “H-Have…you ever liked me?”
Brettley’s hand which was about to close the door paused a little.
After a moment, he swept her a cold glance. He did not answer her question and directly shut the car door.
He did not give her an answer. However, his eyes said everything.
Bethan sat in the backseat. She clenched her fists tightly.
She suddenly felt that her problem was that she was making a fool out of herself.
The fact that Brettley did not like her was a cold hard fact long ago. Why upon hearing the things that Jude told her that day, she would naively think that Brettley really liked her?
She was foolish and naive. Soon, the car started moving.
Brettley sent her back to Blue Bay Villa without saying a single word.
At the entrance of the villa, Lily was looking around.
That morning when Lily left, she did not bring an umbrella with her. She was afraid that she would get drenched in the rain.
Seeing Brettley sending Bethan back, Lily immediately went forth to welcome them. She held onto Bethan.
“Ms. Bethan, how did you become so wet?”
Bethan did not reply.
“Take good care of her.”
Passing Bethan to Lily, Brettley inconspicuously let out a sigh of relief, turned, and left.
However, before he could leave, Bethan reached out and grabbed onto Brettley’s wrist.
