Chapter 83


    Chapter 83 Hesitation and Indecision


    Looking at me, Carley furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “Did youe here for something?”


    I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.


    Seeing this, Carley didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she turned to Ashley and said, “Let’s go,


    apany me to see Walter. This child hasn’t been back to the old house for quite some time. I’m


    curious to see just how busy his work is.”


    Saying so, he directly got on the elevator.


    Ashley naturally saw me as well. Her face darkened slightly, but only for a moment, before returning to


    normal. With a smile on her face, she followed Carley into the elevator.


    Judging by the looks of it, there was no need for me to go up. I took a slight breath, turned around to


    leave, only to unexpectedly run into Roy who wasing in.


    Seeing me, Roy expressed his surprise, “Madam, howe you are here? Are you looking for Mr.


    Hinton? He just finished a meeting. I can apany you upstairs.”


    I shook my head with a smile, looking at him and said, “It’s okay, I was just passing by, no need to


    bother him anymore. You go ahead with your work, I have something else to do so I’ll leave now.”


    After speaking, I took a step and left the Hinton Group.


    Going to find Walter now would probably seem superfluous, after all, Carley and Ashley were there,


    and I couldn’t really say anything


    Besides, Carley hade, Walter would inevitably return to the old house in the evening.


    Even though I knew about his affair with Ashley, I still felt ufortable. After all, he was still my


    husband, and it was unsettling for anyone to let him take care of a pregnant woman.


    “Ding ding…” The phone in the bag started to vibrate.


    pulled out my phone, saw it was Walter calling, and couldn’t help but pause for a moment. After


    hesitating for a few seconds, I answered, habitually saying into the phone, “Hello…”


    “Are you here? Why don’t youe up?” Walter’s restrained, deep voice came from the other end of


    the phone.


    I paused for a moment, subconsciously turned my head and looked up at the Hinton Group building.


    The dozens of floors high building was all deep blue reflective ss, nothing else could be seen.


    Drawing back my gaze, I spoke into the phone, “Not going up, are you…ing back to Water Vi


    tonight?”


    “Walter, guess what grandma and I brought for you? Your favorite fried crisps,” Ashley’s voice echoed


    from the other end of the phone.


    I slightly furrowed my brows, guessing that Carley and Ashley must have already been in Walter’s


    oflice.


    “See you tonight.” Walter’s voice came from the other end of the phone, then he hurriedly added, “I’ll


    call you back in a bit.”


    After speaking, the phone had already been hung up.


    Holding the phone, all I heard was the beeping sound of a disconnected call.


    After a long silence, I hung up the phone and walked somewhat


    numbly to the car. My head was slightly aching. I sat in the car in a daze for a while before I started the


    car and drove back to Water Vi.


    Such a huge vi,pletely empty. Living here alone for a long time, one’s heart would be as


    empty as this ce.


    Sitting on the sofa, I slowly came back to my senses, realizing that going to the Hinton Group to find


    Walter was too impulsive of me.


    Walter did indeed exin his rtionship with Ashley to me. He never touched her, and the child


    wasn’t hers, but that didn’t mean he had no feelings for her.


    He was obsessed with taking responsibility for the non-existent child in my womb, but I overlooked the


    fact that responsibility and affection are two different things. He exined so much to me, not out of


    affection, but out of duty and obligation.


    If it wasn’t for his love for me, his desire to have children with me, but only because of duty and


    obligation, he wanted to protect me, burying his feelings for Ashley deep in his heart. A man with the


    moonlight of another woman in his heart, was this the kind of marriage I truly wanted?


    Humans are indeed greedy. In the past, knowing that he and Ashley were not innocent, I gave up


    hopelessly. Now that I know they are innocent, I care about the person he loves again.


    Thought too much, the mind became chaotic.


    I didn’t know how I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I was already in Walter’s arms. Seeing his


    magnified handsome face, I was startled. Just as I was about to struggle, he tightened his grip and


    lowered his voice, saying, “Don’t move!”


    Carrying me into the bedroom, heid me on the bed and said, “The


    weather is cold, it’s warmer to sleep in the bedroom.”


    I pursed my lips, my sleepiness long gone, and asked him, “When did youe back?”


    “Just got back.” He responded to me, taking off his coat and hanging it on the rack.


    The sky outside had already darkened, suggesting that he must havee here after returning to the


    old house.


    He seemed to be in a good mood. After putting away his clothes, he raised an eyebrow at me and


    asked, “What brought you to the office to find me? Is there something you need?”

    I was stunned for a moment, slightly nodded, and then shook my head vigorously.


    I had originally nned to have dinner with him, just like Rachel suggested, and then… give it a try,


    maybe I could get pregnant.


    After returning, her mind became clear. If she really was pregnant, it would tie him down for life.


    Seeing me shaking my head and nodding again, he rarely smiled. lightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    I couldn’t hold back my words, so I looked at him and couldn’t help but ask, “Walter, if Ashley continues


    to struggle, will you always protect her?”
