The Pledge Betrayed Chapter 08

He has always been stubborn.

Once a decision has been made on what to do, no amount of persuasion will be effective.

So, I didn’t insist on leaving either. I turned angrily to the side and deliberately ignored him.

The air suddenly quieted down, only the sound of Rhys’s heavy breathing could be heard.

After adjusting his emotions, he guiltily said, “After you left the hotel, I didn’t go back, I ran all the way home.”

After arriving home, I had intended to apologize to you and explain everything. However, when I saw that you had packed up and left, I realized that you were truly hurt.

“I called all your friends, and they all said they didn’t know where you went. That’s why I had to call the police.”

“Bridget, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gone behind your back to get married to Kaitlin, and I’m sorry. But I swear, I love you. Please don’t leave, okay?”

I knew that he must have been frantic to find me everywhere.

However, from the moment he and Kaitlin got married, we had already ended.

I couldn’t accept him anymore.

So, I didn’t even look at him and asked coldly, “Have you finished speaking?”

“No!” Rhys exclaimed, afraid that I might leave again. He hurriedly continued to express his feelings and tried to persuade me, “Bridget, will you forgive me? I can call Kaitlin right now and get a divorce!”

I sneered, shook my head lightly, and thought Rhys was beyond redemption.

Looking back at him, I felt doubly disappointed and angry. “What do you think marriage is? Playing house? Saying ‘I do’ and then saying ‘I don’t’?”

“Rhys, if you hadn’t chased after her today and instead chose to marry Kaitlin. And if you had kept your promise and spent the rest of your life with her.

“Perhaps I would still think that, although you apologized to me, at least you were loyal and a man to Kaitlin.

“But listen, listen to what you just said. Are you saying that you not only want to apologize to me, but also to Kaitlin?”

Rhys suddenly jerked, his face filled with terror.

He only realized at this moment that he had made one mistake after another.

Tears swirled in his eyes. He staggered, lost and disoriented, as an overwhelming sense of guilt and regret suddenly flooded his face. He nearly fell to the ground.

I instinctively wanted to help him.

But as soon as the hand was raised, it was promptly stopped.

If I helped him now, he would definitely not forget about me.

I couldn’t do this.

So, I hardened my heart and refused to look at him. I said coldly, “You better leave and go back to spend time with Kaitlin. She doesn’t have much time left. Don’t disappoint another girl who loves you.”

Although I used to hate him.

But I still didn’t want him to become a despised scumbag.

After all, we once loved each other.

Rhys’s tears welled up in his eyes, his head hung low, and he remained silent.

He knew that he no longer had the qualification to speak to me. When he walked past me, I heard a soft sobbing and choking sound, and suddenly my heart felt like it was blocked by a big stone, very uncomfortable.

Rhys left.

He did not contact me for a month, neither called nor messaged.

I learned about Rhys’s recent situation from Jordan.

After that day, he went to accompany Kaitlin. Because Kaitlin was very sad that day, it caused her illness to worsen and her physical condition to decline rapidly.

Although the hospital made every effort to save her, she was already in the late stage of cancer, and no matter how many treatment methods were used, it was all in vain.

Kaitlin insisted on being discharged from the hospital after staying for about a week.

She said she didn’t want to waste her last moments in the hospital.

Rhys picked her up from the hospital and took her out for a trip. I just nodded lightly when I heard it, without saying much.

Jordan saw me silent and didn’t ask any further.

Another month passed, and Jordan suddenly called, sounding very anxious, “Bridget, are you free now? Can you come to my house?”
