    Chapter 44 I Owed Her My Life


    After that, no matter what I said, he just took a long stride and left the conference room.


    I had a lot on my te, so I didn’t bother him with these things. After giving Cory some instructions, I


    finally packed up and prepared to go to the old house.


    Outside thepany, Walter was indeed waiting downstairs, standing by his McLaren car that matched


    his all-ck attire. He looked so handsome and distinguished that it was almost unreal, truly eye-


    catching. Passersby couldn’t help but cast their nces at him.


    Everyone has a love for beauty, and it’s inevitable to take a few more nces at attractive people,


    regardless of gender.


    I didn’t want to be gawked at, so I gave him a sidelong nce and walked towards my car.


    “Beep beep…” Walter honked the horn, quite conspicuous, then he said, “Tabatha, I’m here to pick you


    up.”


    His voice wasn’t loud, but the employees of the Conner Grouping in and out, as well as the


    passersby, could hear him. After all, he had honked the horn in advance, making it hard for people not


    to notice.


    I pursed my lips, looking at him. How had I not noticed before, that this man’s skin was so thick?


    If I had just walked away with a straight face, within no more than two hours, it would probably have


    been widely known within the Conner Group that the youngdy of the Conner family and the young


    master of the Hinton family had had a quarrel.


    O


    It wasn’t a big deal, but who would want their own affairs to beughed at by outsiders? Even I wouldn’t

    want that.


    Despite a hundred reasons not to let Walter drive me, I still got in his


    car.


    The McLaren, worth tens of millions, started up with an extraordinary vigor and naturally attracted a lot


    of attention. On the way, it received many envious nces. I wasn’t used to it, so I rolled up the car


    window.


    Walter beside me nced at me, his handsome eyebrows raised, “I thought you would like it?”


    I pursed my lips, not really wanting to engage with him, “Ashley would.”


    He frowned, slightly annoyed. While waiting for the traffic light, his knuckle-prominent fingers tapped on


    the steering wheel intermittently, saying, “I’m sorry about your father’s matter. If you hold a grudge and


    want to vent, I’m always at your disposal.”


    “Huh!” I sneered, “Mr. Hinton, you sure have a way with words, don’t you? Afraid I’ll take out my


    resentment on Ashley and hurt your precious darling?”


    He furrowed his brows, his voice low and restrained, “Tabatha, she’s just a pregnant woman. If you hurt


    her, grandma will be upset. Besides, you’re carrying my child. I hope you take good care of yourself.”


    I scoffed, my heart already numb, and said indifferently, “Walter, where does your confidencee


    from, thinking that I would still bear a child for you?”


    The car abruptly braked. He turned to me, a rare panic in his eyes, “What do you want to do?”

    Looking at his expression, I was taken aback. I hadn’t expected his reaction to be so strong. I couldn’t


    help but say, “What do you think I would do? After all, Mr. Hinton, you probably don’tck children.


    Besides, if this child in my belly were really born, he would have to share paternal love with others. It’s


    better not to let him suffer in this world.”


    “You dare!” Walter suddenly gripped my wrist, his dark eyes staring intently at me, he said word by


    word, “Tabatha, if you want to vent, you can aim at me, the child is innocent.”


    I sneered, “Innocent? Who isn’t innocent? Was my father not innocent? Was I not innocent? Walter, if


    you had been honest with me from the start about having someone else in your heart, why would we


    have ended up here? You wanted to enjoy the blessings of having a harem, but did you ever consider


    my feelings? It’s one thing for you to hurt me, but in the end, you even harmed my father. Walter, do


    you really think I’m a piece of wood, devoid of emotions and incapable of feeling pain?”


    He gripped my hand tightly, not uttering a word for a long while. After what seemed like an eternity, he


    finally let go of me, his voice low as he said, “I owe her my life.”


    After speaking, he restarted the car.


    I paused for a moment, was the ‘she’ he referred to, Ashley?


    The car slowly drove towards the Hinton family’s old house, his voice was somewhat faint, “Five years


    ago, I went to the border, something happened there, I went blind. Later, she desperately brought me


    back to River City. I had already asked my grandmother, I would marry her, let her livefortably in


    the Hinton family for a lifetime, but then she suddenly married someone else. I thought she had found


    her own happiness, so I never mentioned this again after marrying you.”

    It was five years ago again


    I had a bit of a headache, couldn’t help but pinch my brow, “So, now that she’s back unhappily, you


    n to make her happy?”


    He furrowed his brows, looking at me sideways with a hint of helplessness in his voice, “Tabatha, we’ve


    been husband and wife for two years, is this how you see me? I will take good care of her for the rest of


    her life, but it will only be limited to care. Grandma will let her spend the rest of her life peacefully in the


    old house. You are my wife, always will be. The child in your belly is mine, no one can take away even


    a bit of his father’s love. We are husband and wife, always will be.”
