“Hmph! Nigel still treats me the best!“ Nellie placed her hands on her hips and looked proud.
“When Nigel gets better, l’11 only bring him shopping and we’ll have good food together alone!“ Neil was aggrieved.
“Mommy, look at your daughter!“ Bethan smiled helplessly.
She hugged Nellie and continued chatting with Neil on the video call while talking to Nigel via the necklace.
In Nellie’s brightly lit room, it was a lovely scene with Bethan hugging Nellie. In the garden in the backyard, Brettley looked at the figure inside the French window.
He furrowed his brows a little.
Leaning by the pillar of the gazebo, he put out the cigarette in his hand.
This was his fifth cigarette.
He did not know why, but at the thought that Bethan was leaving Blue Bay Villa the next day, he was inexplicably annoyed. He has been standing there looking at Bethan and Nellie for a long time.
She was at first in a bad mood, then she started laughing in tears, yet at that moment, she was filled with reluctance and helplessness.
He could feel that she did not want to leave Nellie, yet she had no choice. He sighed in annoyance and lit another cigarette.
He did not understand what this woman was insisting on.
She clearly did not want to leave Nellie or him, yet she kept insisting on it.
She set a date for herself to leave, putting so many restrictions on herself. As long as Bethan told him that she did not want to leave, he would let her stay, but she did not do it.
Not once.
Why? Was it because he had tried getting rid of her previously? This unknowingly made him think of Bethan Peterson.
She used to be deeply in love with him, relying on him. From the moment she married him, she wanted to share everything with him.
At that moment, he did not know how to live.
He even felt that he did not like her, so he was always annoyed at her.
He even despised her. Later on, there was once he lashed out at her.
From then onward, Bethan Peterson never shared anything on her mind with him anymore.
She would not tell him of the things that she encountered. It was as if she had become a different person within a night.
Although her fascination and love for him in his eyes have not changed, she has become silent.
She shut herself off.
He was not used to that.
He thought that she was only throwing a tantrum.
After a while, she would be better, but… She has never shared anything with him anymore, up until she left him six years ago. Brettley shut his eyes and smiled bitterly with the cigarette in his mouth.
Were all the women in the world so vindictive? Perhaps only the ones he met? At that thought, Brettley picked up his phone and dialed Lucas.
Half an hour later, there was a door on Bethan’s door.
Lucas was standing by her door groggily, yawning.” Bethan, do you still want to continue staying in Blue Bay Villa?” Bethan slightly furrowed her brows. “Why?” “Mr.
Morrison wants me to tell you that if you still want to continue staying here taking care of Nellie, go to his study to find him.
He is waiting for you in his study.“ “Oh.“Then, Bethan slammed the door shut.
“Hey!“ Lucas frowned and knocked on the door.
“What do you mean by that?” Bethan said with a yawn, “It’s late, good night!“ “You’re not going to look for him?” Lucas was actually done with work for the night, but Brettley deliberately got him to take some documents to him, just so he could wait for Bethan in his study room.
However, this was the attitude that Bethan was showing? Bethan said lazily, “I don’t have the time.”
After two hours, he could no longer take it.
He closed his file and covered his face with his hands in irritation.
She did not come. She truly did not want to continue staying.
He was just overthinking this all this while.
Brettley chuckled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the study.
He wanted to walk around the villa.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the door of Bethan’s room. The lights in her room have been switched off.
She must be asleep by then.
Brettley gently sighed and walked to Nellie’s room.
She was also sleeping soundly.
It seemed like he was the only person who could not sleep in the entire villa.
He was the only one who was reluctant to say goodbye the next day. Brettley returned to his room.
He took Bethan Peterson’s photo from under his pillow.
He gently caressed it over and over again.
After a while, he laughed bitterly.
“Come back quickly.“ “If you’re not still not back yet…“ He would really fall for another woman.
At that thought, Brettley closed his eyes. He had no idea what was going on with him.
When he heard that Bethan passed away, he swore to love her only for his entire life.
He has kept his promise for six years.
He thought that he could continue on this way.
However, a woman called Bethan brilliantly dominated his life like poison.
He knew that Bethan Peterson was still alive and he should put all his focus on finding her.
However… That night, Brettley did not sleep well. He hugged Bethan Peterson’s photo and kept reflecting, denying, and persuading himself.
In the end, he made a tough decision.
The early morning arrived as usual.
In order for her plans to go smoothly that night, Bethan headed to her studio early in the morning.
She shifted the materials that Malcolm had sent her into the room that was burnt down by the fire.
Bethan converted the room into a simple studio. Bethan used two days to restore the sketches for the Stargazing jewelry series.
She even made a real one.
In her studio, she confirmed the details of the jewelry once more before putting them in her bag.
When she returned to Blue Bay Villa, it was already 10 in the morning.
She met Cynthal at the entrance of the villa. Cynthal was in a navy blue jeweled dress.
Her hair was up, looking elegant and sensual.
She was sitting elegantly in the driver’s seat of a red Porsche.
When she saw Bethan, Cynthal wind the window down and looked at her condescendingly.
“I heard that you’re f*cking off after today?“ Bethan glanced at her without saying anything.
She continued walking.
“I’ve said that those who offend me won’t end up well.“ Cynthal sneered resentfully through the window.
“I do quite like you actually, but too bad you keep protecting that little b*tch.
You’re a smart person. If you had picked me over her when you first came, you probably would have been the maid with the best treatment in Blue Bay Villa.
Too bad you don’t know what’s good for you.“ Cynthal sneered.
Bethan stopped in her tracks.
She turned back to look at Cynthal.
“You’re actually proud that you’re going up against a six-year-old child? I’m glad that I don’t know any better and just hate you.“
Cynthal immediately frowned at Bethan’s words.
She immediately opened the car door and got down from the car.
She strode over Bethan.
