His Buddha Heart Crumbled For His Secret Wife Chapter 07

His Buddha Heart Crumbled For His Secret Wife Chapter 07

When Adrian’s eyes landed on Nolan kneeling in the rain below, his expression instantly turned

vicious.

The coldness radiating from him was almost suffocating.

Before this, he had simply looked down on his reckless nephew.

But this time, I felt like he truly wanted Nolan dead.

I tightened my grip on Adrian’s hand.

My fingertips were still trembling.

I softly tried to calm him.

“No.”

“Your principles…”

Adrian’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He didn’t turn around.

He didn’t say anything.

He only tightened his hold on my hand.

That night, the rain soaked through Nolan’s hair and shirt.

He knelt helplessly in the muddy water.

When he saw Adrian walk over, his voice was filled with resentment and confusion.

“Uncle…”

“What exactly is your relationship with my wife?”

I stood by the window and watched.

I never expected him to ask that.

And I definitely never expected him to call me his wife.

The friends Nolan had grown up with were either dead or permanently disabled.

But he didn’t ask a single question about them.

Adrian’s voice was full of contempt.

“With that fake marriage certificate of yours?”

“You still dare to call Claire your wife?”

He pulled a red marriage certificate from his pocket.

Then he threw it directly at Nolan’s face.

“Claire and I have been married for a full year.”

“If Claire hadn’t cared about your reputation and chosen to keep our marriage private…”

“She would never have suffered through all of this.”

Nolan looked like he had been struck by lightning.

His entire body froze.

His face instantly turned pale.

“Uncle…”

“You’re lying.”

“You’re the disciplined one…”

“You devoted yourself to a higher purpose. How could you possibly…”

“Besides, Claire killed my-”

“She’s always been ruthless…”

Before he could finish, Adrian punched him hard.

The force sent Nolan crashing into the muddy ground.

Blood immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Adrian threw a thick stack of investigation reports in front of him.

Blood immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Adrian threw a thick stack of investigation reports in front of him.

The papers scattered across the ground.

Rain quickly soaked through them.

Adrian looked down at him.

His eyes were filled with disgust and mockery.

“Nolan Vale.”

“Stop making me sick.”

“Do you really not know why your so-called first love died?”

“She was pregnant.’

“She had already told her family and friends.”

“But you still agreed to marry Claire.”

“And in the end, you blamed everything on Claire.”

“Did anyone force you?”

“Did anyone stop you from saying you already had a girlfriend?”

Adrian let out a cold laugh.

“You were the one who couldn’t make up your mind.”

“You abandoned your own girlfriend.”

“She ended her life, and you were too cowardly to face the truth.”

“So

you used your own guilt and cowardice as an excuse to hurt my wife.”

“Pathetic.”

Nolan’s pupils shrank.

He shook his head like a man losing his mind.

“No…”

“That’s not true…”

“That’s not what happened…”

Adrian’s voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

“Nolan Vale.”

“You’re beyond saving.”

“I’ll make sure you pay the price.”

Nolan completely broke down.

He collapsed into the muddy water.

His hands grabbed his hair desperately as he screamed.

For years, he had replayed the memory of the woman he lost over and over again.

He had pushed me into hell because he couldn’t bear living with endless guilt and regret.

How could he accept that the truth had finally been exposed?

Especially after seeing the medical report documenting the hundreds of injuries on my body.

How could he admit that he had fallen in love with the woman he believed was beneath him?

The woman he had hurt so badly.

“Claire didn’t want me to kill anyone.”

“She said it would destroy the discipline I’ve spent my life protecting.”

Adrian’s voice was quiet.

“Anyone who chooses to protect others would naturally want their family to be safe.”

“If I can’t even protect my own wife…”

“Then what’s the point of holding onto this so-called compassion?”

“I’m not like you.”

“I won’t run away from responsibility.”
