Chapter 692 It Is Over
Chapter 692 It Is Over
"She wouldn't trust me, but I didn't care. I was busy preparing for the wedding, and my career had just
taken off. I was working around the clock."
"Now I'm thinking maybe it was because I ignored her at that time. I always thought that she could
figure it out by herself, and that became the apple of discord."
He then stopped talking about the discord because he didn't want to talk about it again before Gentry.
But even if he didn't say it, the other two people had known what that was.
Gentry looked sullen, while Kevin nodded thoughtfully.
"So, isn't it all a misunderstanding?"
Chad nodded. "Yes, but it was caused by my indecisiveness. It's all my fault."
He looked up at Gentry and continued, "I know that you've been with Kristina for 26 years. That is also
why I'm letting you go today. I didn't clarify it to her back then, so I think I owe her much. I'm sparing
you today to do her a favor."
Gentry's face was pale. After a while, he gritted his teeth and sneered.
"Oh don’t flatter yourself!"
Chad didn't say anything. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He was tired, and it seemed that he wanted to end this as soon as possible...
He whispered to Kevin and then wheeled himself away.
"Gentry, It doesn't matter whose fault it was now. Let bygones be bygones. She doesn't have much
time left and needs you to stay with her. So... this is the last thing I'm gonna do for her. Take care."
After that, he turned away and went out of the door.
The bodyguards helped him to get in the car.
After hearing what Chad said, Gentry had lost the power to resist.
Kevin walked up to him and squatted down. Then he said with a smile, "Gentry, what do you think?
Shall we go running the transfer procedures of your properties now?"
Gentry looked up at him and didn't object. He pulled himself up and let the two bodyguards help him
get out.
The procedures were not difficult for them to go through. They finished them quickly.
Kevin let him go as he promised. Gentry had a mixed feeling after hearing what Chad had said.
When he returned to his and Kristina's residence, he stood in the yard for a while instead of going in.
He looked at the closed door felt a lack of courage to knock it open.
He still remembered what Kristina had once told him.
Those grievances she had put up with, those mistakes she had made, as well as her reluctance and
grudge.
Gentry met her when she was twenty before she did that thing with Chad at the wedding.
He found her so beautiful and innocent, like a free little bird in the valley. His whole world was lit up.
He fell in love with her at first sight, but at that time, they didn't have many chances to see each other.
He didn't dare to tell her that he had feelings for her.
After all, Kristina was the daughter of the Nixon family. She was adopted, but everyone knew that the
Nixons treated her like their biological daughter and never allowed anyone to mistreat her.
As for Gentry...
He was still young and didn't have a career, just like any other young man of that age.
He didn’t come from a privileged family, no property to inherit, and he had no confidence to give her a
lifetime promise.
Therefore, he could only bury those feelings in his heart and never let anyone know.
Then he accidentally learned about the drama at the wedding. He also learned that Christine's family
tried to kill Kristina by forging a shipwreck.
Fortunately, she didn't sink with the boat as they expected.
For some reason, she survived.
The chance for her to survive was so slim that she had almost been half dead.
If Gentry hadn't rescued her in time and sent her to the hospital, she would've been drowned in the sea
or died of coldness on that winter night.
After that, he learned what had happened from her.
He was heartbroken, angry, and a little glad.
He was heartbroken to hear what Kristina had gone through; he was angry with what her family and
Chad had done to her; he was glad...
He was glad that she was no longer the daughter of that family. She was alone and helpless, and he
was the only one she could trust and rely on.
Therefore, Gentry seized the opportunity and became the most important person to her. He took her
abroad, supporting her and helping her with her life.
He had become indispensable, and Kristina seemed to have felt his love.
However, many years had passed, she had never agreed to be with him.
Gentry stood there, recalling every detail of the past two decades. He felt as sad as disappointed.
She lied to him!
All in all, Chad might be responsible for what happened back then, but it wasn't like how she had told
Gentry at all.
Kristina said it was Chad who approached her and used her. He was playing the field.
Gentry was told that Christine forged that murderous shipwreck out of jealousy and fear of losing Chad
to Kristina.
But in fact...
In fact, it was Kristina who wouldn't accept that the two were a couple. She stepped in their marriage.
She wouldn't believe that it wasn't her sister who wanted to kill her; it was her foster parents, who had
loved her for so many years, who wanted to get rid of her because they were enraged by what she had
done.
Members of Christine's family were out for blood.
They cherished you like jewels when they loved you, and when they didn't, they treated you like dirt on
their sole.
They had no mercy. On the contrary, Christine, who Kristina thought was "vicious and ruthless,"
secretly saved her life behind their parents' back.
Kristina hadn't returned to the country over the years, probably just because of the promise she made
to Christine.
Their parents died last year.
She came back now because she thought nobody would punish her for the past ever again.
Her calculation is accurate, ungrateful, and disappointing.
Gentry stood outside for a long while. He still failed to muster the courage to knock the door open.
In the end, he turned around and walked away slowly and firmly.
It started as a dream and ended like a nightmare for him.
Now he had to wake up.
Kristina had a dream at night.
She was a child again in that dream.
She was thin and small, lying on the narrow bed in the orphanage. The gentle and loving director came
over to take her temperature. Then she said, "The fever has come down. Have a good rest."
