    Chapter 319 I Could Wait


    He gave a softugh, his voice warm and maic, showing no signs of anger. Instead, his expression


    turned a bit more serious as he said, “Tabatha, thank you for trusting me.


    I was taken aback for a moment, unable to react immediately. Looking at him, I asked, “What?”


    His slender fingers casually rested on the steering wheel as he said, “I really didn’t do those things.”


    Realizing he was talking about Jacob’s death, and the ordeal of Gianna and Ashley in prison, I pursed


    my lips and said, “Let’s not even talk about such despicable acts as murder and rape. Even Ashley, you


    wouldn’t harm her.”


    How to put it, he had taken care of Ashley for so many years. Even if he had mistaken her for someone


    else, it was his mistake, not Ashley’s.. Sending Ashley to jail was because she hadmitted illegal


    acts, not because Walter was angry. After years ofpanionship and care, there was still some


    affection. He wouldn’t vent his anger on others just because he had mistaken someone.


    At this point, I still believed in Walter’s character.


    He was silent, the green light came on, he started the car, and suddenly it became quiet inside. I was


    somewhat ufortable.


    He took the initiative and asked, “Did you offend someone?” With so many things pointing at him, it was


    hard not to overthink.


    He held the steering wheel, nced at me sideways, and smiled faintly, “Shouldn’t it be you who


    offended someone?”

    frowned, “Who could I have offended?” Before he could respond, a thought struck me. This seemed to


    be all rted to me. The people in trouble were all those who had hurt me, but the finger was pointed


    at Walter.


    What did the person behind mean?


    What did you want to express?


    Seeing me furrow my brows in thought, Walter gave a faint smile, his voice as usual, saying, “It seems


    the person behind the scenes is quite good at guessing people’s hearts, knowing that I care about you,


    and would retaliate against those who hurt you.”


    I frowned, looking at him somewhat speechlessly, feeling that he had said a bunch of nonsense.


    He remained silent, his gaze suddenly calm as he spoke, “They truly deserved it.”


    I froze, turning to look at him, catching a glimpse of the fleeting coldness on his handsome face. My


    heart skipped a beat, unsure if I was overthinking, I began to speak, “You…”


    His expression was as usual, he nced at me sideways, raised an eyebrow, handsome and attractive,


    “What’s wrong?”


    I shook my head, feeling that his momentary coldness just now was a misperception. How could he


    think that those who had hurt me deserved it? Besides, Ashley was someone he had protected for


    many years. Even if he held a grudge, he wouldn’t hurt her because of me.


    He drove me all the way to the bottom of the Conner Group building. Before I got out of the car, I turned


    back to look at him and sincerely said, “Thank you.”


    He got out of the car then, didn’t say a word, just quietly watched me

    get out. I hadn’t taken more than a few steps when I heard his voice, “Tabatha.”


    I looked back at him, “Huh?”


    Their eyes met, he slightly pursed his lips, his voice low and restrained, “Dinner together tonight?”


    I was a bit surprised, paused and said. “I…”


    “Ms. Conner?” A man in a blue delivery uniform ran towards me from


    the base of the Conner Group building, holding arge bouquet of flowers, and asked as he looked at


    me.


    I nodded, looking at him in confusion.


    The man handed me the flower in his hand, smiling and saying, “This is your flower, please sign for it.”


    My mind was still a bit foggy, and it was only after I had nkly signed and epted it that I reacted,


    looking at the man and asking, “How do you know my surname is Conner?” In my memory, I didn’t


    know this man.


    The man looked at me with a faint smile and said, “The gentleman who ordered the flowers showed me


    your picture and instructed me to deliver the flowers to you personally I just went upstairs to ask for


    you, but they said you weren’t there, so I’ve been waiting for you downstairs.”


    I was puzzled and wanted to ask, but the man, after seeing me sign and ept the flowers, hurriedly


    rode his bike away.


    Looking at the flowers in my arms, I hesitated a bit, who sent them?


    Instinctively, I looked at Walter, noticing his somewhat gloomy expression. His dark eyes fell on the


    flowers in my arms, his gaze

    unfriendly. Clearly, the flowers were not from him.


    The words I intended to ask were swallowed back into my throat. Looking at me, he said, “I might be


    busy tonight, I don’t have time…”


    “Did you make ns with Daniel?” He began, his voice low and harsh. It was clear that he was


    suppressing anger in his tone.


    Hearing him bring up Daniel out of nowhere, I frowned and said, “There’s been a lot going on with the


    Conner Grouptely, I can’t get away at the moment, Mr. Hinton, I’m sorry, but I can’t make it to your


    appointment.” Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Walter’s face was very gloomy, especially when he caught sight of the flowers in my arms, he even


    looked a bit annoyed. Looking at me, he said, “No matter, I’ll wait no matter howte you’re busy.”
