Chapter 17


    Chapter 17 Mrs. Hinton Wants to See You


    I stood still and looked at Walter in silence. At this point, I had no idea what he was thinking. At first, I


    thought that since he had risked his life for Ashley, he must have loved her so much, and he would


    definitely agree to divorce me and give Ashley a home. However, his aberrationst night left me at a


    loss.


    Seeing me standing still, he raised his eyebrows. “Today’s sunrise is nice. Let’s enjoy it before we head


    back.”


    Obviously, it was a notification instead of a question.


    I took a silent look at the sun that had passed over the mountains. The bright morning light spread over


    me and kept me warm. I didn’t know how long he was going to enjoy it, so I stood situ indifferently.


    Seeing that I did not move, he got up and walked towards me. Then he got in the car without ncing


    at me.


    We didn’t have much things to say. He drove the car in the direction of the city. All the way, neither of


    us said anything, and all we could hear was the sound of the wind outside the car brushing the trees.


    Seeing him drive the car in the direction of Water Vi, I frowned. “Pull over and let me down. I…”


    “It’s too early to go to work. Go back and sleep for a while longer,” he said in a calm, maic voice.


    “No need. I’ll rest at Rachel’s ce.” I didn’t know what his n was. No matter how he wanted to deal


    with Ashley, I had no intention of going back to Water Vi at all.

    As we spoke, he had already parked outside the vi. Roy had a suitcase in his hand, which seemed


    familiar. Before I could ask, he looked at Walter and said, “Mr. Hinton, Mrs. Hinton’s things have been


    taken back.”


    Walter nodded and looked at him. “Put them inside.”


    Roy nodded and carried the suitcase inside the vi.


    I frowned and looked at Walter with great dissatisfaction. “You took my stuff back without my


    permission. This is how you handle it?”


    He looked at me, saying in a low and calm voice, “You want Grandma to step in?”


    I choked on his words. Indeed, if Carley knew that I had moved out, the fact that Ashley was pregnant


    and I wanted a divorce would be exposed soon, and not long after, the Conner family would all know.


    I took a breath, gave in, said no more, and went into the vi.


    We were both in the vi. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry to go to work. Instead, he was sitting in the


    living room with a cup of coffee. When I saw that he wasn’t going to leave, I went up to him and said,


    “Walter, I don’t want to put myself in a bad rtionship. I don’t care what you think. I insist on divorcing


    you. I hope that for the sake of our two years together, you will respect my choice.”


    He put down the cup and looked at me without blinking. Then he said in a tone that was the earnest


    than ever, “I won’t divorce you, and you don’t need to suffer any grievance. Tabatha, in our marriage,


    you get to be the same person as before. You will always be the granddaughter-inw of the Hinton


    family, and you will always be my wife. You can continue to be arrogant and be yourself, no matter who


    you are facing.”


    Then he paused and continued, “About Ashley’s pregnancy, I will make things right.”


    I had no idea what he meant by this, but the firmness of his gaze made me believe him for a moment. I


    had not slept well the night before, and perhaps my mind was confused, so I could not find a response


    to his words. I went back to the room in silence, wanting to go to sleep.


    I didn’t wake up till dusk. When I went downstairs, I saw Roy. I frowned. Was he waiting for me?


    Seeing me, Roy said, “Mrs. Hinton, you’re awake.”


    I looked at him. “What’s wrong?”


    He hesitated for a moment, and then he looked outside and said, “Those from the old home have sent


    Dale over to pick you up.”


    “The old home?” After a few seconds of confusion, I looked out and saw that Dale’s car was parked


    outside indeed. Dale seemed to have been waiting a while.


    Roy nodded without saying anything anymore.


    I didn’t know what they wanted, yet I didn’t ask more. I said, “Where’s Walter?”


    “Mr. Hinton has gone out on business,” Roy answered and then paused. Then he added, “He asked me


    to stay here. You can tell me if you need anything.”


    I nodded, found a coat, and left.


    Dale was waiting outside. When he saw me out, he greeted me with his usual smile. After a brief chat,


    he motioned for me to get into the car.


    I asked him why I was wanted at the old home, yet he just smiled, “Mrs. Hinton wanted to see you. I


    don’t know the details.”


    I nodded and got into the car.
