Chapter 141 I Don’t Love You
Meredith never told him any of those. In fact, she only revealed her innermost thoughts while under
pressure, as she no longer had a care in decorum and saving face. All she wanted was for him to stay,
as well as for her to be able to hold him.
Pierre never knew she had feelings for him, as he assumed she wanted to marry him because of the
children as well as the status that she could gain. He didn’t expect it to be an act out of love. However,
he still stood firm in his conviction. “But I don’t love you.”
Once again dumbstruck, Meredith let go of him. His words cut like knives, with every cut creating a
bone-deep gash that drew blood.
“Let’s end things here. You cane visit the children anytime you like. I can guarantee that nobody
will stop you. Other than that, because you are the mother of my children, you cane to me if you
ever need help. I promise I’ll help you to the best of my abilities.”
The terms heid out were his bottomline. There were things that he wished not to bring up.
Considering the fact that Meredith must’ve known about the wedding beforehand, he came to her in
hopes of hearing the truth from her, but she betrayed nothing.
He believed that grown-ups were ountable for their own actions, which was why he staged such a
commotion at his own wedding. It was Meredith’s choice to step onto the aisle without his consent, so
its doomed oue was but a consequence that she had to bear. It had nothing to do with anybody
else.
Meredith stared at him with teary eyes, scrutinizing the aloofness on that unfamiliar face of his that she
used to be infatuated with. After a long while, she questioned, “Is this because of her?”
Turning around to meet her with a frown on his face, he wasn’t sure what she meant.
“Are you doing all this because of my sister, Selena Yard?” When she raised the question, she was
mentally prepared for a blow. Although she knew of Pierre’s marriage proposal to Selena, she thought
he was joking, but now that she reviewed everything that had happened, she figured he might be
serious about it.
Pierre, however, didn’t expect that question from her. “No,” he said without an exnation, but the curt
reply was enough to eliminate her doubts. With that, he nced at her, figuring that she might need
more time toe to terms with the truth. Turning around to leave, he seemed to have recalled
something else when he got to the door. “I’ll remind you that the children are innocent in this. This is
between us adults.”
A shudder traveled down her spine as soon as she heard his words, and he left the room after saying
that. Her eyes darted around in panic as she recalled the eerie sight of Pierre and Joaquin conversing
with each other. It must be because Joaquin told him something that made him disdain me so much!
And how dare Selena that b*tch snatch my man away from me?
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Selena had been staying beside Juniper’s sickbed. Although Juniper didn’t
sustain severe injuries, she had a lot of bruises on her. It was a frightening sight to behold, which made
Selena feel sorry for her. Holding Juniper’s hand, she was on the verge of tears while staring at the
latter’s calm face.
She could still recall back when Juniper was a baby, and she was so tiny while in her arms, but she
already grew up so much since then. Back then, she used to hope that Juniper would grow up faster,
but now, she wished time would slow down, as she wanted to spend more time looking at her daughter
while she was still a child.

Slowly, Juniper opened her eyes, smiling as soon as she saw Selena with her. “Mommy…”
Selena caressed her hair. “You’re finally awake. Does it hurt anywhere?”
“Ouch.” Juniper pouted, but as if not wanting to worry Selena, she added, “It’s alright though. The
doctor already told me I’ll be fine. Mommy, I’m sorry that I made you worry.”
