Chapter 3
The woman waiting in the hall buried her head and read the message, as if the things burning in the hot furnace behind her had nothing to do with her. “Charles, he is dead, I only have you.” My soul floated in front of her, watching her flirt with another man and talk to each other. Later, my urn was taken home by her. My son urged, “Mom, book a cemetery quickly, Dad is dying. Do you want to be buried with this man?” It turned out that my beloved son was not my own son at all. He was sent to see his father every year. And the travel photos that Anne posted on Instagram in those years were just taken for me after being intimate with men. I saw them guarding Stanley’s bed and Anne cried bitterly, “Stanley, you will get better.” My ashes were still thrown in the warehouse by them and they had already started to prepare for the funeral of another man. On the day Stanley died, Anne stood in front of the newly bought grave with a sad face, “I owe Stanley my life. After I die, I want to be buried with him.” My son nodded and choked up, “Mom, don’t worry, you will definitely be with Dad.” Sixty years of time seemed like a joke. I was in extreme pain and I rushed towards the mother and son in anger, but my body became lighter and lighter. When I opened my eyes again, I was here. God actually gave me another chance. In this life, I decided to live for myself! After returning home, I immediately found my mother and proposed the idea of leaving the Cooper Family. My mother looked embarrassed, “The Cooper Family has treated us well and we can’t forget our roots.” I said earnestly, “Mom, do you want to watch your son be a servant for the rest of his life? Besides, we have repaid the kindness for so many years.” My mother still hesitated, “But, don’t you like Miss Cooper?” For so many years, she had seen my efforts for Anne and naturally knew what I was thinking. I shook my head bitterly, “Mom, you misunderstood, I don’t like her.” Before I finished speaking, Anne, who was wet, rushed over and slapped me hard. When she was about to hit me for the second time, I grabbed her wrist and slapped her hard. She gnashed her teeth, “You still dare to resist?! Charles! Why didn’t you save me?” I took a step back, my face calm, “I can’t swim.” Anne frowned, “Didn’t you say you would die for me?!” She still remembered the oath I made in front of her, but she had completely forgotten how she betrayed me. I laughed, “Miss Cooper, how can you take a servant’s words to make you happy seriously?” Anne was stunned, with shock and disbelief flashing in her eyes. Yes, you should know that I didn’t dare to say a harsh word in front of her in the past. I was about to leave with my mother and she suddenly called me. “Stop! It’s all because of you that Stanley’s leg was injured. If he becomes a cripple, I won’t let you go! Go to the hospital and apologize to the Gordon Family now!” Looking at her angry eyes, my heart was just desolate. Ten years of unrequited love, forty years of marriage, I loved her to the bone and I couldn’t bear her to suffer a little. I had never been guilty, but in her heart, I was just Stanley’s scapegoat. Not to mention the last life. Stanley relied on his large numbers to make me pretend to be a dog and eat dog food, pushed me down the mountain and made me lick their shoes… The Gordon Family had always doted on this only child. Now asking me to apologize to them was nothing more than pushing me to death. I wanted to take my mother away. But Anne called someone to press me to the ground.
