Dorothy’s heart skipped a beat after she finished speaking. She averted his gaze swiftly and silently waited for Credence’s reply. She had mixed feelings of anticipation, apprehension, and bitterness.
After that, she waited for a long time, but Credence still did not give her a reply.
What Credence gave her was a long silence and indifference.
Dorothy’s eyes were brimming red, and she could not help but mock herself for being sentimental again.
He did not even want to give her a perfunctory reply. If so, how could she have the courage to go back to experience the miserable life again?
In the end, there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, Dorothy asked him again in a sad and cold voice, “Credence, have you ever loved me?”
“Do I love her?” he thought.
Credence was also secretly asking the same question in his heart.
During the four years of marriage, he did indeed enjoy making love to her. He was obsessed with every inch of her body, as it brought him to cloud nine. However, he had never cared about her thoughts and feelings.
Shamelessly, it could be said that he had only been interested in her body in the past four years. As for her personality, he had never taken it into consideration.
However, if he told her the truth at the moment, it would be too cruel to her. Moreover, he would never be able to get her back to his side afterwards.
He could not be honest with her, but he didn’t want to lie to her, either. Credence could only remain silent as he was in a dilemma.
He stood around three meters away from Dorothy, with his gaze fixed on her face. Her face was glowing and flushed red, and her delicate skin was bright and fair, which made her look more adorable than before.
What did that mean?
It meant that after she had left him, even if she had stayed in the detention room and in prison, she had lived a better life than before.
Suddenly, Credence’s gaze sharpened. He found a faint but noticeable bite mark on the upper left corner of Dorothy’s lips, looking alluring.
Was that a tooth mark?
Juelz must have left that mark when they had been kissing!
Credence would not silently mock himself. All of a sudden, he was burning with rage. He stretched his strong arm out and grabbed Dorothy by her shoulders. He dragged her to his side, and pressed her against the wall firmly. Ignoring her resistance while she was in a daze, he approached her and kissed her fiercely.
“Ouch! It hurts!”
Dorothy’s lips were caught off guard by Credence. He bit the left corner of her lips hard like a beast. She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, and her body kept trembling.
D*mn it! Had this a*shole gone insane?
Meanwhile, Credence was smoldering in fury. He hugged Dorothy’s soft body, which he had not touched for a long time. He wished he could use all of his strength to tie this woman to his side to prevent her from having intimate relationships with other men.
Credence did not stop kissing her until the pain at his stomach became more and more unbearable due to straining it too much. Only then did he let go of her, panting and sneering. Then, he stared at her and her belly, which had grown bigger from before. With a complicated look in his eyes, he asked, “Have you gotten addicted to having fun with Juelz lately?”
“When did I have fun with Juelz?” Dorothy thought to herself.
She felt that Credence had gone crazy. Before they had divorced, he had been indifferent towards her. Recently, he would occasionally become insane and keep getting her into trouble.
He did not loosen his grip, but wrapped his arms around her waist tightly instead, pressing her against the wall. Dorothy was nervous and her stomach felt uncomfortable while being stuck in his embrace. She raised her head and glared at him angrily. “Credence, let go of me!”
As she was anxious, she spoke fast and in a high pitch. The movement of her lips attracted Credence’s attention. In particular, the flirtatious mark on the corner of her lips caused Credence to lose his mind.
He had done his best to help her and utilized all his connections just to reduce her sentence. However, what had she done?
She had actually hugged and kissed Juelz in the detention room, and even…
Credence could not wait to get rid of the doubts in his heart. He reached out and grabbed the hem of Dorothy’s loose prison uniform. He lifted it up and coldly glanced at her fair, bulging belly and a small sliver of her bust.
Her skin was fair and clean, without any suspicious red hickeys.
For some reason, Credence let out a sigh of relief. He stretched two long fingers out and forcefully raised Dorothy’s chin. With a sneer, his expression turned cold and aggressive. He said, “We’ve only divorced for a short while, yet you have already rushed to Juelz’s side. How dissolute are you?”
His grim and heartless words were like the sharp thorns piercing into Dorothy’s heart, causing her extreme heartache.
She did not struggle to get rid of Credence’s big hand, which was holding her chin. She raised her head slightly and looked at him calmly, “Mr. Scott, as you’ve mentioned, I am now a divorced woman. Thus, I am free. Isn’t it normal for me to find another man?”
Mr. Scott?
Upon hearing her address him so mockingly, Credence’s mind was filled with the image of her being hugged and kissed by Juelz intimately, extremely disgusting. He felt a stab in his heart and lost all his rationality.
He suddenly launched another attack towards her. He lifted his long leg towards the center of Dorothy’s knees and then gradually moved it upwards. Then, his leg paused right under her belly.
At that moment, Dorothy was almost scared out of her wits.
She had always viewed the child in her belly as more important than her own life. At that moment, Credence’s leg was resting right below the child. If he became ferocious and gave it a hard push…
Dorothy was so scared that she did not dare to move, nor did she dare to irritate Credence further. She begged him softly with red eyes, “Credence, please, don’t hurt my child.”
Then, Dorothy raised her head to look at him. Her face was pale, and her eyes were welled up with tears with her wary pleadings.
Credence took a deep breath upon hearing the word ‘child’. He suddenly loosened his grip on her chin and removed his dangerous right leg. He stared coldly at her, and his handsome face was filled with rage.
She was protecting Juelz’s child so carefully.
In an instant, he turned around and left without hesitation. His decisive aura was so cold and callous!
Dorothy saw the heavy iron door opening and then closing in front of her. The man’s cool figure disappeared from her sight completely.
She raised her head and stared at the white ceiling above her. She blinked and the tears fell down from her eyes, her whole body trembling.
After a long time, Dorothy finally calmed down. She slowly walked into the bathroom and leaned against the door, smiling bitterly.
She firmly believed that her relationship with Credence was truly over this time.
He would definitely let her go and stop pestering her.
That was something she had been longing for, but when her wish had finally come true, she actually felt dissatisfied and reluctant.
She had loved him for a decade, and her affection towards him had deeply rooted itself in her heart. How painful and difficult it was for her to forget him completely.
Dorothy’s fingers were trembling as she clutched her chest. She closed her eyes in despair.
