Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 58

I didn't say I believed you, nor did I say I didn't believe you.

I just looked at Lawrence expressionlessly, "And then? I saw in the video that you were quite proactive in bed with her, even saying disgusting things about me. It didn't look like you were being coerced. I don't believe that if you had no desire for her, Clara could have made love to you."

Lawrence stiffened for a moment, probably because I hit the nail on the head and caught the flaw in his lie.

However, he had been able to deceive my feelings for so long and hide his affair so well, so he was naturally capable.

He quickly hid his emotions and said painfully, "Melinda, I deserve to die. But I really didn't want to hurt you.

I'm a normal man too, I have physical needs. For you, I've endured for years. Finally, when we got together, you got pregnant, and I couldn't control my desires.

When Clara threatened me with you, at first, to prevent her from finding you or sending you photos, I got entangled with her. But she has been with many men and knows how to manipulate and seduce men. I ended up having sex with her a few more times.

I originally thought that a rich girl like her, who has seen many good men, was interested in me because of jealousy towards you. So I pretended to comply with her, thinking she would lose interest and leave me alone.

But I was wrong. Later, she even investigated our address and recited it in front of me.

Sometimes she would appear at the café near our neighborhood, or even in the neighborhood itself. Occasionally, when I walked with you after dinner, she would send messages describing your outfit, your hair tied up, and your growing belly.

She was like a crazy stalker, a lunatic. I didn't dare take any risks and had to meet her.

Then, when I was in bed with her, she deliberately guided me to say certain things. To prevent her from disturbing you, I said what she wanted to hear. She let me go, but I didn't expect her to record those things and send them to you. I deserve to die.

The day you had the accident, I wanted to come home to be with you, but she clung to me and used every trick to arouse my desire. She asked me if having an affair with her in our car, on the sofa, and in the office was particularly exciting. She even secretly took that red nightgown. In a moment of impulse, I was really aroused.

Melinda, I know I deserve to die, but it was all her scheming. She even threatened me with you. The only thing I didn't expect was that she would send the video to provoke you and deliberately stop me from coming home that night, so I wasn't there when you had the accident."

Lawrence talked about his interactions with Clara, placing himself more in the victim's position, looking quite aggrieved.

This kind of behavior, losing control of his desires when his pants are off and turning his back when they're on, fits Lawrence's selfish and opportunistic nature.

I looked at Lawrence with red eyes, "Yes, you were wrong. Your mistake was letting me find out, right? You haven't told me how you managed to hide it from me for so long.

I have to say, I admire your ability to hide things. Why not become an undercover agent?"

I sneered, but the smile didn't reach my eyes.

I felt a bit sad inside.

Clara was indeed hateful. She approached Lawrence with a purpose. From her sarcastic words to Lawrence, it was clear she didn't like him as much as she pretended.

So, she was willing to be a mistress to get close to Lawrence, which showed that her target was me. She wanted to humiliate me, take everything from me, and see me suffer.

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you everything. Now that you know, there's no point in hiding anything.

After I fell into Clara's trap, we started having sex frequently. Clara's desires were very strong, and she always wanted to find me. But I was afraid you would find out, so I deleted all our chat records, the places I had been, and anything that might leave a trace.

However, her strong desires and clinginess led her to rent a place near our home so we could meet secretly. She even had someone create a special app for us to chat privately, so no one would discover our chat records. This way, you couldn't possibly find out.

At first, I thought she just wanted to have fun with me and wouldn't force me to divorce.

But I didn't expect her to push her luck, sending you videos to provoke you and forcing us to divorce."

Lawrence finished speaking and then looked at me deeply, holding my hand, "Melinda, I never really wanted to marry you. You might not know, but I grew up without a father, and the villagers bullied me. When I was in school, many people looked down on me because of my family background, but not you.

The first time I saw you, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the sycamore leaves at our school, illuminating you as you smiled and talked to the girl next to you. That scene warmed my heart. Later, I found out that you were not only ambitious and gentle but also kind, volunteering at the orphanage. It wasn't love at first sight for you, but it was for me. I liked you first.

I then created opportunities to run into you, and that's how our happiness began. I worked so hard to win you over; how could I bear to lose you? Melinda, please don't divorce me, don't abandon me. I can't live without you."

His eyes were slightly red as he looked at me earnestly.

I remained silent.

Lawrence continued to struggle and plead as I made my decision, "Melinda, after all these years, you are my life. I never thought of giving you up, really."

"Is that true? But I can't easily trust you anymore. I'm afraid of being hurt again, especially since this time, it almost cost me my life. I cherish my life."

"Melinda, after all these years, can't you give me one more chance? I will prove that I have changed. Otherwise, I will surely face God's punishment."

Lawrence seemed to think that swearing would easily convince people.

So he kept swearing.

Lawrence was truly despicable, not afraid of his oaths coming true. He had no fear at all.

"Lawrence, forgiveness is easy to say, but it's hard to truly achieve.

I'm not sure if I can really do it, but as you can see, after all these years, I can't bear to let go. So, I'll give you this chance. I hope you won't disappoint me."

As soon as I said this, Lawrence's eyes lit up, and he was about to hug me and spin me around.
