Dolly controlled her voice and made herself pretend to be the same as usual, but the voice that came out was surprisingly tinged with trembling, “Skyler, what do you … you mean by that?”
Skyler heard her warbling voice and panicked, and hastily defended himself, “No … no, Dolly, that’s not what I meant, I … I was just asking, I believe in your character. But …”
“He’s just my friend, you saw me on the phone to Brayden that day, I was eager to tell him who I was having dinner with, but Brayden he was really busy at the time, he misunderstood that I was having dinner with a girl, I didn’t have time to explain he hung up the phone, I didn’t lie to him!”
Dolly hung up the phone after she finished, afraid that Skyler would raise a little more questionable questions, she preferred to believe that she explained to her in this way, that she believed her unconditionally and absolutely.
The sound of a key opening the door came from the main entrance, and Dolly knew that at this time, it was only him who had returned.
Brayden took three steps up the stairs to the door of her room, rapped hard on the door, and yelled inside, “Open the door, Dolly, I know you’re in there!”
Dolly mechanically came to the door and unscrewed the knob before he was about to make a more aggressive move.
“It was Jayden who ate with you that day.” He used a declarative sentence instead of the question she was waiting for an answer to. Did he decide from the bottom of his heart that she had cheated him in this little matter of eating?
This statement undoubtedly makes Zhao Yino more chilling, she and he to this point today, there is no excuse, is that both are too young.
“Are you going to choose him.” There was desperation in Brayden’s voice, low and husky.
Dolly’s face no longer had its usual vibrancy.
“I can’t believe you really think that …”
Suddenly she hissed and glared, “Brayden, after all the years I’ve been with you, even with Orion, you would imagine me to be so bad that you don’t believe me!!!”
Perhaps people always believe in the so-called “seeing is believing” in the absence of evidence, Dolly is a strong person to the bone, she will not be in front of a person who believes in nothing, and Brayden, his brain has been broken by all the information received in the past few days.
After meeting Dolly, everything about Dolly made him unable to think carefully, as at this moment, his mind kept coming back to Leon’s last words “I saw it with my own eyes”.
Brayden, as if possessed by the devil, reached out and pushed Dolly, who was standing in front of him, to the ground so hard that Dolly stumbled a few steps and ended up sitting on her knees in disarray because she lost her balance.
“How do you expect me to believe you when Leon saw you and Jayden having an affair! He never told me the truth so that you and I wouldn’t be embarrassed!”
“You were actually spending time with Jayden at school under the pretense that you were going back to Ravenwood University to finish your studies, so why didn’t you tell me that it was him who was at dinner together that day? Why didn’t you tell me that he went to Ravenwood University with you? If there was really nothing going on between you two, then why were there so many people gossiping behind your back! You explain to me!”
The pain in her knee was like a sarcastic message to Dolly, telling her, “See, this is the man you gave everything to love,” and like a relentless warning to her, “This is not your nightmare, this is all, all real.
Dolly pinched the corner of her coat, relying on a tiny bit of inner security, and said expressionlessly, “You already have the answer, so why come and ask me.”
Brayden, however, laughed, and that laugh was like a knife that pierced deep between two hearts, and his eyes had long been red: “You admitted it, Dolly, you admitted it!”
“Brayden, after we made up, I never thought it would come to this between us, because in my perception, what kind of misunderstanding have we not encountered? We’ve been through so much together, but I was wrong, we are not one body and one mind, you believe in yourself more than me.”
Dolly gritted her teeth and stood up holding up a side chair, there were tears and disobeyed and slipped from her eyes, she pursed her lips, “Let’s all calm down, let’s … separate for a while.”
She doesn’t even know exactly how she walked out of that room that day.
The pain is like a seed that extends from the heart and sprouts rapidly, diffusing to every corner of the body, calling for a painful heart, pain to the point of being uncontrollable.
When things didn’t reach Otto and Talia, she made a trip to the house there just as the two seniors were away and only the nanny was looking after Orion Kirkland.
The nanny saw her coming and greeted her warmly to see Orion, and Dolly approached carefully.
The child, who had been quietly in the nanny’s arms, suddenly began to cry as soon as he arrived in her arms, causing her to fumble for a moment.
She was his mother, and for such a small child, she was a presence that made him feel strange and scared, which made her heart sink.
She followed the nanny’s example of holding him. Orion was very good and only cried for a short while before he calmed down in her arms. Maybe it was the spirit between mother and son, after all, Orion was a cute little life that had existed in her body for ten months.
The little one is growing fast, remember the last time I held him, it was much lighter than now, a pink face, in her arms blooming with a smile that melts the heart.
It was this laugh that made Dolly make a decision to raise Orion herself, and she was going to take him away.
If Brayden keeps misunderstanding her, their marriage will not go white, and she will try to get custody of Orion.
“I’m going to take Orion out in the sun.” Dolly spoke up.
The nanny didn’t dare to refute anything, she was the mother of the child and it was human to want to take the child out to play, so she didn’t refuse, but only prompted Dolly, “Then young grandmother should remember to bring the young master back earlier, otherwise the old lady will be worried.”
Dolly wrapped Orion’s little quilt and carefully placed her hand on the back of his little neck, dragging him delicately so that he rested on her arm.
She didn’t know why she felt this way. She was glad that the two old men were not present, giving her this opportunity to bring Orion out, as if she wouldn’t have the chance to see Orion later if she didn’t come here today.
