Chapter 486 I Was Also One of Those Who Aided and Abetted the Tyrant.
Walter’s thin l*ps curled slightly as he asked, “Why are you back?”
I awkwardly rubbed my nose and said, “I was held up by something.”
“What’s the matter?” He really did like to keep asking until he got to the bottom of things.
Fortunately, Emma spoke up, “Tabatha was waiting for me, Walter, Ms. Knight, you all…”
“Let’s talk.” Walter said succinctly, stepping forward and taking my hand directly, looking at Emma, “Sister-in-law, let me escort you.”
Emma hesitated for a moment, saying, “Over there by the old lady…”
“With Dale watching over, there was nothing to worry about.”
Emma hummed, looking at Marjorie and gave a slight smile, asking, “Is Ms. Knight also joining?”
“It’s too complicated, I’ll arrange for the Hinton family’s car to take her home,” Walter said. After speaking, he grabbed me and prepared to head downstairs.
Marjorie’s complexion was somewhat off, and although she always wore a faint smile, there was always a sense of awkwardness as if she was forcing herself to keep it up.
I accidentally overheard their conversation just now, and I’ve had an indescribable feeling in my heart ever since.
Originally, I had promised Marjorie that I wouldn’t have any contact with Walter.

In the car, I remained silent. Emma and Walter exchanged a few words. Hermosa, probably in a bad mood, kept looking out of the car window. Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she turned to Walter and asked, “Uncle, are you going to marry that lady we just saw?”
The child’s words made the already not-so-good atmosphere suddenly seem even more quiet.
“Hermosa!” Emma called out to her, with a warning.
He then apologized to Walter, “Walter, children are naturally curious, don’t take it to heart.”
Walter shook his head slightly, gave a faint smile, and said to Hermosa, “Hermosa, your uncle is already married, he won’t marry another woman.” His voice was gentle and calm, showing no sign of embarra*sment from the sudden question.
Hermosa pursed her l*ps, saying, “Then why did dad have to marry that bad woman even though he already had mom? Besides, great-grandma said, you and auntie have already divorced, you can marry another
woman.”
The child’s question was blunt and sharp. As Emma listened, her face turned slightly pale. After all, her relationship with William was not much better than mine with Walter, not to mention, she also had a
child.
Walter seemed to seriously ponder the child’s question for a moment before he finally spoke, “Hermosa, great-grandma is old, and many times her thoughts are not the same as ours. However, your uncle can a*sure you that I will not marry any woman other than your aunt.”
“Where’s dad?” Hermosa asked, her big, bright eyes staring at Walter, “He’s going to marry that bad woman, isn’t he?”
The child, who was in her early teens, had already become sensible.

With such a question, she already had an answer in her heart.
The car fell silent, and I felt particularly uncomfortable. After all, Rachel only knew William because of me. To some extent, I was aiding and abetting.
After seeing off Emma and her daughter, Walter took me back to the city center. It was already getting dark. I originally wanted to find Ezra, but after all the hustle and bustle of the day, I was truly exhausted.
Just got home, I moved my arm, thinking there probably wasn’t much to eat in the kitchen. I turned to Walter and said, “I’ll go out to buy some groceries in a bit, you go rest for a while.”
He was originally bending down to change his shoes. Upon hearing my words, he paused slightly, then looked up at me.
Seeing him look at me like that, I was somewhat puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He shook his head slightly, a faint smile tugging at his handsome face. Then he walked over to me, pulled me into his arms, and held me. I didn’t know why he suddenly hugged me, but I still raised my hand and patted his back, saying, “Go on, take a rest for a while.”
“Tabatha, if only it could always be like this,” he sighed, his voice tinged with a hint of sentimentality.
I pursed my l*ps, saying, “Like this now?” What’s it like now?
He chuckled softly, “Now, we are like a couple who have been in love for many years, going home from work together, spending the beautiful evening together, and entering the night together.”
