Chapter 35
“Edith… I didn’t mean that. You misunderstood me”
“Edith… don’t be so mean. Let’s think of a way to deal with this together. My family will definitely help you. We’re engaged.”
Johann frowned. He couldn’t stand the sarcasm in Edith’s tone.
When Edith heard Johann’s words, her heart ached.
Edith thought, “is this really my fiance? He knows that we are engaged, but he has been helping Vanessa.”
Edith shook off Vanessa’s hand, and Edith’s delicate face was filled with coldness.
“Johann, I know your temper. You like to help the weak, and you are very considerate. I can understand why you chose to help Vanessa, but before you took her away, shouldn’t you have thought about what it meant? You’re my fiancé. What position were you in to do that?”
“Johann was speechless and unable to retort.
Seeing that he couldn’t answer, Edith sneered, “You stood up for her without hesitation, but what did you do to me? You had so many ways to help her, but you chose to leave me behind. What else could I do? What do you want me to do? Vanessa needs your protection. What about me?”
“Edith, it’s all my fault. I won’t let that bastard bully you. My family will fight against him to the end,” Johann said firmly. He looked intensely at Edith and held her hands tightly. No matter how hard Edith struggled, Johann didn’t let go of her.
Vanessa wanted to stop Johann
“Johann… The Lawson family is so powerful that few people in Caurtine can compete with them. Don’t do anything stupid.”
Hearing this, Johann pushed Vanessa away angrily. Vanessa fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed. But Johann didn’t even look at her. He still stared at Edith and said word by word, “I don’t care. I love you. If I leave you, I don’t know how to live. I won’t break up with you.”
When Edith heard this, she felt as if his every word was pricking her heart.
Edith thought, “Johann…
If you had said that before, I would not have given up on you. Yet you have been bewitched by Vanessa again and again. Sooner or later, you will make mistakes.
Instead of suffering at that time, it is better to break up with you as soon as possible.”
Edith took a deep breath and closed her eyes sadly because she couldn’t bear to see Johann’s injured expression.
Aher a long time, Edith finally said, “Johann, I’ve already… slept with Simon.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence.
Johann stood rooted to the spot, his face pale as if he had lost his soul.
He put down his clenched hands at that moment and took a step back, trembling.
Edith had expected this ending, but her heart still throbbed in pain.
Johann was a very conservative person. He didn’t approve of living together before marriage. He thought that the best things should be kept for their wedding night. He and Edith had been dating without having sex. Their relationship was pure.
However, Edith was already someone else’s wife. No one would believe that she was still a virgin after being married for more than a month. After all, everyone in Caurtine knew that Simon was a playboy.
Edith wanted to use this way to make Johann give up on her and burn her bridge.
