Chapter 78


    Chapter 78


    Jaydon felt helpless. What could he do? Even if everything he said was genuine, if it seemed


    worthless in her eyes, it would be quite ironic.


    “Why are you hiding in a ce like this? Why not meet up with Kim? There shouldn’t be any


    obstacles for you now.” He set down his cup, diverting the topic.


    “I have it all arranged. You don’t need to worry about it,” Alita replied indifferently. He no longer had


    the right to inquire. about her affairs.


    “What’s the harm in sharing it? It might let me know what my ex-wife’s future holds?” Jaydon felt a


    dull ache in his heart seeing her so distant.


    Alita turned to look at his face, observing silently for a while before saying. “You should be more


    concerned about your future with Cecilia. Shouldn’t you marry her immediately to case the pain of


    the past 14 years when I interfered with your rtionship? Shouldn’t she get pregnant right away so


    she can bear your child? Jaydon, your life can beplete and happy. I genuinely wish you that.”


    She thought when she spoke these words, her heart could remain calm. However, beneath the calm


    surface of her heart. there was still a surge of restlessness.


    Jaydon looked at her, unable to utter the words he wanted to say unable to express the attitude he


    wanted to convey.


    Alita didn’t want to continue staring at him like this. She felt her heart might be crushed by him


    again. Standing up, she opened the window and stared nkly at the orchard outside until her gaze


    lost focus,


    At some point, her waist was encircled, and there was an added weight on her shoulder. Warm


    breath grazed her neck.


    “What are you doing? Let go of me!” Alita was furious. She pulled at his hand, shrugged her


    shoulders, and scolded, “Jaydon. you are not my husband anymore. You cannot hold me like this.


    Let go!”


    Jaydon didn’t release his grip. Instead, he held her tighter. He truly missed her. Since the day she


    left, his heart had been filled with fear and panic. He missed her so much that he was about to go


    crazy. Only holding her brought him a sense of


    calmness.


    He wanted to tell her all of this, but he was afraid it would only invite her mockery.


    “You shameless ba*stard, go to hell!” Alita angrily cursed. Seeing basket of peaches nearby, she


    picked one up and threw him.


    Jaydon instinctively avoided his head, loosening his grip on her. The peach fell to the ground and


    rolled far away.


    Leaning against the wall, Alita grabbed another peach from the basket and threw it again. After


    throwing it, she quickly picked up another one, holding it up to threaten him. “No more nonsense. If


    you’re in heat, go find your lover. I am not your wife anymore. Please remember that.”


    Alita hated this man who only cared about her body. Did he understand what respect meant?


    With her resistance, Jaydon’s lust had almost subsided.


    “Okay, I won’t mess around with you anymore, alright? Can you put down the peach now?” Jaydon


    surrendered.


    Alita pointed to the table. “Go sit down and don’t stand up.”


    The Lewis family not only had scumbags but also perverts!


    “Fine, I’ll sit down. Is that okay?” Jaydon walked over and sat down.


    Licking his lips, Jaydon said with a determined expression, “My purpose ining here today is not


    to argue with you, Alita


    I want…


    Without letting him finish, Alita interrupted, saying, “Don’t call me so intimately, Mr. Lewis. No matter


    what you want, my answer is no. Your tactics won’t work, and your shameless pleading won’t work


    either. I will never turn back.”


    Jaydon’s heart, struck by her heavy blow, was painfully pierced through. It felt like his heart was


    shattered, causing him excruciating pain.


    He lowered his green eyes, making it hard for her to see his current thoughts.


    Alita faintly felt that Jaydon was sad. Was it an illusion? How could he be sad for her? He had never


    loved her.


    The two sat silently across from each other. The bright sunny day outside gradually darkened, and


    the wind picked up. Soon, rain poured down with thunderous roars and lightning shes. Despite


    the storm outside, they remainedposed and quiet, not uttering a single word


    After a long while, the rain outside began to subside. Jaydon slowly lifted his head and said with


    firm determination, “Alita, I really can’t let you go.”


    She was stunned and couldn’t help butugh. “Mr. Lewis, I suggest you visit a psychiatrist.”


    You might be pregnant, so until we’re sure you’re not, you can’t leave, Jaydon stated emphatically.


    “Don’t use an innocent child as leverage. You’ll face retribution. I’m pregnant, I’ll terminate the


    pregnancy. I won’t let it be an illegitimate child in the heartless Lewis, family, facing the cruelty


    and bullying of others. It’s better not to let it enter this world and be reborn into a happier ce, Alita


    said calmly. She had a hint of sadness in her heart.


    Her words shed through Jaydon’s heart, leaving a gaping wound. Enraged, he pounded the table


    and stood up. “What did you say? Say it again if you dare!”


    Then listen carefully. The child won’t be a shackle to me. If I’m pregnant, I’ll terminate the


    pregnancy.” Alita looked into his eyes, speaking resolutely.


    Aloud smack echoed as a heavy pnded on Alita’s face. She tasted the metallic vor of blood


    in her mouth, and her face stung with pain.


    Jaydon’s eyes welled up with tears, feeling deeply wounded by her. Alita raised her eyes and


    pointed to the door, saying, “Get


    out.


    Jaydon chuckled in pain, transparent tears falling from his beautful green eyes. “You’ve always


    used me of being cruel, but what about you, Alita? Are you really kind? Youe and go as you


    please, thinking you’re something special”


    He took steps backward, the bitterness hardening, weighing on his heart like an unshakable burden.


    Were those tears in his eyes? Alita stared in shock at this side of him, feeling a bit lost.


    Jaydon retreated to the doorway and turned his back. He closed his eyes and tilted his head up as


    he said, “Remember this, Alita 1 will hate you forever. So don’t even think about escaping. Never


    think about escaping. His voice was deep and cold, sending a chill down the spine.


    His silhouette disappeared into the rain, appearing deste and sorrowful.


    Alita sat there in a daze, her face no longer feeling the physical pain because the pain in her heart


    was more intense. She thought, Jaydon, why must we torment each other like this? Why can’t you


    just let me go?


    As Jaydon left, Alita quickly gathered her belongings. She couldn’t care less anymore. Given


    Jaydon’s current attitude, even if she waited for the divorce agreement to arrive, he wouldn’t sign it.


    She knew Jaydon too well.


    Braving the rain, she walked towards the vige outskirts. Three or four people were standing guard


    there, and as she approached, they stubbornly blocked her way. She immediately understood that


    this was orchestrated by Jaydon. Money had the power to influence even strangers in the vige,


    and despite not knowing them personally, Jaydon’s wealth spoke for


    itself.


    Realizing she couldn’t outsmart these burly men, she cleverly headed towards another path behind


    the vige. Unexpectedly, that route was also guarded. She tried every possible way to reach the


    vige outskirts, but each path had someone watching over it.


    Alita cursed Jaydon. She was drenched like a drowned rat. Hence, she could only return to the


    house outside the orchard.


    Now what? The longer she waited, the harder it would be to escape. Once Jaydon called in the


    well-trained bodyguards from the Lewis family, there would be no escaping at all.


    The most pressing issue at the moment was that even if she managed to break through the


    encirclement, she would be caught up inmediately if she was escaping on foot. Hiding within the


    small vige would make it easy for Jaydon to find. her. If she tried to use some money to buy her


    way out, Jaydon would surely anticipate her strategy and be willing to pay double to trap her.


    As the sky darkened, she took out her phone and saw it was already past 8 o’clock. She had


    unknowingly spent quite some time pondering, yet she still had no viable n.


    ying with her phone, a thought suddenly struck her. She could seek help from someone. This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    But who could she trust, and who had the strength to stand against Jaydon? The options were


    limited. Samuel might be a decent choice, but she would only invite another trouble to herself if she


    called him. So, she decided to call Kim for assistance, considering hisparatively kind nature.


    Meanwhile, Jaydon, wearing an open-cored white shirt, sat in the courtyard of a rural household.


    A bowl and a table filled with alcohol were ced in front of him. He was somewhat intoxicated, but


    his consciousness remained clear, and his greep eyes were filled with sorrow,


    That dam *n woman, she had entered his life so inexplicably for 14 years, bing the one he was


    supposed to marry. Just when he finally started to ept it and began to like her, she suddenly left


    and went to Theisia without a word. Jaydon sper five years hating and tormenting her, and now that


    she had finally returned, she chose to leave him forever.
