Chapter 459 Everything Happens for a Reason
When did you start wanting to give up on him?
No, I had never thought of giving up
But my path, up until today, has already reached a point of no return.
He held me tightly, and I remained silent, quietly listening to the pitter-patter of the rain outside the window. There was indeed too much rain in River City.
After a while, I gently pried open his hand, turned around to face him, and looked at him calmly. After all these years, he was still the same as before, precious and elegant, so handsome that it often made people feel dazed.
Our eyes met, I saw the mist in his eyes, a faint suffocation rose in my heart, I took a slight breath, I gently pulled a smile and said, “Walter, do you believe in Buddha?”
He looked at me, not understanding what I was trying to say, slightly pursing his l*ps, but he didn’t speak, didn’t say he believed, nor did he say he didn’t.
Knowing that I couldn’t wait for his answer, I smiled lightly, saying, “Buddhism talks about the cycle of cause and effect, which is entwined by fate. If the fate between people is not exhausted, they will be endlessly intertwined. If it is exhausted, people will part ways. When I was in Springbury, I prayed for the well-being of the living and the peace of the dead. But at that time, I also secretly prayed to the Bodhisattva that we could stay together for a lifetime.”
Looking into his bright black eyes, I took a slight breath and

good relationships and cuts off bad ones. If two people are destined by heaven to worship Buddha, no matter how much they argue in this life, they will never leave each other. But if it’s a bad relationship, Buddha doesn’t want to see them suffer after experiencing all kinds of hardships, and still can’t be together. So, he cuts off their relationship in this life, allowing them to find their own good relationships and suffer less from love. You and I are the latter.”
Looking at him, I took a slight breath and said, “Walter, I didn’t give up on you, and it’s not because of Ezra or Marjorie that I gave up on you. It’s because after all the twists and turns, we were still destined
not to be able to continue.”
He looked at me, not uttering a word for a long time, the air filled with the smell of alcohol. He didn’t speak, making the atmosphere in the bedroom particularly oppressive.
“Hehehe…” Due to his repression, his abrupt laughter made the atmosphere particularly eerie and harsh.
“Fate?” He looked at me, a cold smirk playing on his l*ps, a snort of derision escaping him. “Tabatha, you’re talking about fate with me, how laughable, utterly laughable. When did you become so hypocritical? Resorting to such nonsensical things to deceive me? If you had honestly told me that you no longer loved me, that I no longer occupied your heart, I might have respected your sincerity. But you’re talking about fate with me, Tabatha, do you really think I’m that foolish now?”
Watching him rage, I understood that anything I said would be useless.
With a slight sigh, she calmly said, “Then you might as well think that I don’t love you anymore, that you’re no longer in my heart.”

“Tabatha!” He roared, gripping my hands tightly, his eyes bloodshot, almost crazily pleading with me, “Why? Haven’t I done well enough? How do you want me to humbly beg you, beg you to love me, beg you to stay with me, tell me, I’ve done everything as you asked, okay?”
Watching him like this, a sour ache swelled in my chest. I took a breath, my voice somewhat hoarse as I looked at him and said, “Walter, I…”
“I was wrong.” He pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly, “I don’t know what happened on New Year’s Eve. I don’t know if I touched her or not, Tabatha. Give me some time, I will find out what happened that night, to give you an explanation, and to give myself an explanation. I said I would marry her, it was to anger you, to anger you for ignoring
I thought as long as we survived and returned from the border, you would worry about me. I thought when I woke up, the first person I would see would be you, you would hold me tightly, telling me that everything was over. But the person I saw when I woke up was not the one I wanted to see. I thought maybe you were too busy to see me, so I took the initiative to find you, wanting to hear you say you were worried about me, afraid that something would happen to me, and seeing me awake, you would be relieved. But you…”
I was held tightly by him, letting him pour out his grievances word by word like a wronged child, my heart aching with every word.
How proud he was, and now he actually…
Was love really about pulling the god who was high above down from his pedestal, making him humble as an ant for you?
At least it wasn’t so for me, I didn’t want him to be like this. He was a proud and precious man, he should have been as before, high above, elegantly serving as the chairman of the Hinton Group. He should have been standing on a high platform, pointing out the mountains and rivers, freely and unrestrainedly.

He shouldn’t have begged so humbly and without dignity for my sake.
“Walter.” I tugged at his hand, my heart aching to the point of suffocation. He loosened his grip slightly, but didn’t let go. He still held onto me, looking at me, his eyes bloodshot.
Taking a deep breath, I lifted my hand to cradle his face, looking up at him with a heart full of sorrow. “I can’t give you any answers right now, nor can I make any promises. I want you to be happy, and I hope your happiness involves me. But I’m truly, truly sorry. We’ve been through so much, and now, many things are beyond our control.”
