Chapter 176


    Chapter 176 Go Back Home With Me


    The light outside the backyard was dim. Darlene looked up and could not see the face of


    the man in the dark.


    But the voice was too familiar. The moment she felt relieved when she escaped, she felt as if she had


    been doused with cold water.


    All the expectations were extinguished once again. When she looked over, she felt cold


    from head to toe.


    She held the certificate tightly in her hand. The edge of the certificate pierced into her hand. She could


    not tell where the pain was.


    Avery looked at her. His eyes were extremely calm as if nothing had happened between them. He could


    not see her resistance, nor could he see the disgust she felt towards him.


    He looked at her as if a gentle and considerate husband looked at his beloved wife.


    He took a step closer to her. “Darlene, Mr. Walpole will not be back. Go back home with


    me.”


    Darlene shook her head. She clenched her trembling hands, her knuckles turning pale.


    She sounded like she had fallen into a dream. She tried her best to pull herself out of the dream. “No, it’s


    not like that. I was wrong. It wasn’t him.‘


    Avery didn’t get any closer. From a few steps away, his face, just like her face, shrouded


    in darkness, couldn’t be seen clearly.


    On the way here, he had been trying hard to think of a way to piece together those


    wrong memories.


    Why was Darlene now relying on another man? Where was their child? Why did she choose to abandon


    him when she could take care of him after he was paralyzed for a


    year?


    He tried hard to piece together those scattered memories, but he found that he couldn’t


    do it no matter what.


    He couldn’t find any reasonable reason to exin the situation between him and


    Darlene.


    Darlene was retreating, slowly pulling apart the distance between her and him. Then,


    she seemed to have suddenly made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the stuff in her


    hands. She turned around and desperately ran in another direction.


    The moment she turned around and left, Avery clearly saw that there was only deep fear and


    determination in her eyes.


    He stood where he was and did not speak or chase after her. He just watched her back, not even taking


    a step forward.


    Darlene did not run far away. She was stopped by a bodyguard in Gustave’s vi.


    The bodyguard looked at her coldly and said, “Ms. Garcia, Mr. Gard cane here because Mr.


    Cassius informed him and gave him the address.


    “Now that Mr. Walpole chose to stay with Mr. Cassius, you’d better go back with Mr. Gard. Don’t cause


    trouble for Mr. Walpole and the Walpole family.”


    Darlene red at him fiercely. “Get out of the way. Even if Mr. Walpole doesn’te back now, where I


    go has nothing to do with you.”


    The bodyguard still stopped her. “If Ms. Garcia didn’t leave this vi, then no matter where you go, it has


    nothing to do with me or the Walpole family.


    “But Ms. Garcia, since you walked out from here today, it has something to do with Mr.


    Walpole.


    “Everything you are experiencing now is not Mr. Walpole’s fault. Mr. Walpole has no obligation to bear it


    for you. Just treat it as if you do a good deed. Don’t get him into trouble anymore.”


    Darlene looked at him coldly. Her eyes were extremely dry. The cold wind seemed to tear her heart


    apart. Her limbs and bones were cold.


    After a long time, she let out a dryugh. “Mr. Cassius asked you to say this, right?”


    The bodyguard answered coldly, “Yes, Mr. Cassius also asked me to tell you that, as you can see, Mr.


    Walpole has been trying his best to help you during this period.


    “However, he was used by the media that he had an affair with you. He was kicked out of the


    company by the directors and shareholders. His life was thwarted, and his career stagnated. And the


    Walpole Group suffered a huge loss recently.


    “Mr. Walpole did not tell you this because he cares about your feelings, but you should know that Mr.


    Cassius only has one son, and Mr. Walpole will be in charge of the


    Walpole Group sooner orter.


    “Mr. Cassius begged you to let Mr. Walpole go. If you and Mr. Gard do not get along well, please find


    another way to solve it.”


    Darlene finally stopped moving. The bone–piercing wind in the early morning blew on her face. She


    shivered uncontrobly. At that moment, all her strength was drained.


    She smiled, though her face was frozen. “You are right. I’m his burden. He does not owe me anything


    and has no obligation to bear this for me.”


    The bodyguard showed a bit of empathy. “Regarding Ms. Garcia’s current situation, I can only express


    deep sympathy and regret.


    “But Mr. Walpole has his responsibilities and difficulties. Even if he can help you, he has to give up a lot,


    which was painstakingly umted by him and the Walpole family for years.”

    Darlene looked up at him. “Is he alright now?”


    The bodyguard answered, “Don’t worry. He is Mr. Cassius’s only child. Thus, Mr.


    Cassius can’t deal with him.


    “When you leave, everything about Mr. Walpole will get back on track. Everything in the Walpole family


    will be as good as before. I also hope that after you leave, you can


    think of other ways to get what you want.


    The bodyguard looked at Cyrus, who was approaching from behind. “Then Ms. Garcia, goodbye.”


    Avery brought Darlene back to Southwood Vi.


    He did not remember how long Darlene had not been back. In his memory, they had


    always lived here.


    Just a few days ago, they had gone out of here and went to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup.


    On the way back, Darlene did not say a word. When they entered the living room of the Southwood Vi,


    Darlene sat on the sofa, like a puppet without even moving her eyes.


    This made Avery at a loss.


    They sat opposite each other for a long time. The day was breaking.


    He looked at Darlene’s lower abdomen. The miscarriage still made him feel unbelievable.


    He took out his phone, dialed the number that Cyrus gave him, and called Seth.


    “I’ll call the doctor over to check on you. The wind was strongst night. You might have caught a cold.


    Moreover, your calf is injured.”


    What Avery wanted the doctor to check was more than this.


    Seeing that Darlene had no reaction, Avery dialed the phone and walked a little further to the floor–to–


    ceiling window to make a call.


    Because he was afraid that Darlene would resist, he let the servants go to rest first. With few people


    around, she might feel at ease.


    Seth quickly picked up the phone. He was woken up from his wonderful dream. Considering Avery’s


    current special condition, Seth still had a good attitude.


    “Mr. Gard, what’s the matter?”


    Avery turned around to take a look. Darlene was still sitting on the sofa, motionless.


    He replied, “Could youe over now? I want you to give my wife a thorough physical check–up. Also, a


    pregnancy examination.”


    This gave Seth a headache. How could he make Avery believe that his son, that six–month–old fetus,


    was gone?


    Seth was silent for a long time, but in the end, he did not say much. “Okay. I’lle


    over now.


    Avery hung up the phone. When he turned back, Darlene had disappeared.
