Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 63

"This song really brings back memories. How long has it been since we last heard it?" Lawrence said with some emotion.

I looked at his calm and gentle demeanor, feeling a bit dazed, as if he was the gentle man who loved me deeply in my heart. But it was just an illusion.

He was always the bad guy. He was just very good at pretending before, but now he seems to have stopped acting and is gradually revealing his true colors.

Still, I nodded, "It's been a long time."

Because I fell in love with Lawrence at first sight, I really liked this song. Later, when he confessed his love to me, he sang this song.

"The first time I sang this song for you was on New Year's Eve when I confessed my love to you. After you heard my song, your face turned red. You were so innocent and shy back then, very cute." Lawrence seemed very nostalgic.

I think he might not be reminiscing about those beautiful memories, but rather the naive me who was so easy to deceive.

"Do you really want to go back to the past? Back then, we didn't have the good days we have now, so much freedom to go wherever we want?" I smiled.

It seemed like a casual response.

Sure enough, a flash of anger passed through Lawrence's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"With you here, those things don't matter. Naturally, going back to the past would be better," Lawrence replied gently.

Such a heartfelt answer.

If I hadn't already seen his true colors, I might have been deceived by such sweet words.

Having me really isn't that important because with me, he can have all of this.

So, it's not because Lawrence is deeply in love with me, but because I am the cornerstone of his success.

"Now is also very good. You still have me, we are still together, and we have grown up, knowing what is truly worth cherishing."

What is lost cannot be regained.

So, let myself wake up early and not be deceived by his lies.

Lawrence sighed softly and said, "You are right. But rather than letting you grow up, I still hope you can be as innocent and happy as before."

Innocent,

Innocent enough to be deceived into losing everything?

I hid the hatred in my eyes and looked at the retreating scenery outside the window.

The scenery can't be kept, let alone the time that has passed.

Lawrence was silent for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Melinda, I don't quite understand why your parents don't like me. Is it because of my poor family background? Isn't it said that young people have great potential? Kyle also started from scratch and built everything. Why does he think I can't do it?

And besides my family background, am I not good-looking? Am I short? Am I not smart or good at my studies? Or am I not good enough to you? No, I'm good at all these things, right? Why does Kyle look down on me?"

I turned my head and looked at him indifferently, "Do you really not know why?"

Lawrence should know.

He is dark-minded, selfish, and vindictive. Such a person with poor character, how could Kyle possibly like him?

Blame it on me being too young and seeing things superficially.

But Lawrence really didn't think so. He seemed to have his own logic. Usually, to pretend to be like most people, he could hide his true thoughts and values, pretending to be the same as everyone else.

"It's because of Christopher. Kyle likes Christopher, and Christopher doesn't like me. Kyle must have noticed, or maybe he heard a lot of bad things about me from Christopher. Combined with my family background, from the first time he saw me, Kyle didn't like me.

He didn't even want to get to know me better."

When Lawrence said this, I could clearly feel his resentment towards Kyle, but I didn't notice it before.

I was too slow because of my love for him, and my filter was too strong.

"Do you have some misunderstanding with Christopher? Or is there some conflict between you and him that I don't know about? Otherwise, I've never heard Kyle or Christopher say anything like what you mentioned.

Why don't you tell me?"

I asked him sincerely. This has always been my question.

I don't have much interaction with Christopher, so Lawrence should have even less.

After all, although they were both well-known in school and often compared by others, their life trajectories and fields of study were different. Even if people talked about and compared them privately, there shouldn't be such great hostility.

"It seems that in your heart, Christopher is very important. Otherwise, you wouldn't speak for him. How could I dare to have any misunderstanding with Christopher? We are not the same kind of people. He is a high and mighty rich young master, not troubled by any worldly things, and can get whatever he wants.

How can someone like me, who came from a rural area and climbed up step by step, and wants to marry a daughter from a wealthy family like you and gain power, compare to him?"

Lawrence said sarcastically.

I sneered in my heart.

So he wasn't unaware, he just didn't want to admit it.

This time he seemed to have given up, daring to say it out loud. Why? Does he think that even if I hear it, I won't spread it, or does he want me dead so I can't spread it?

I was alert in my heart.

But on the surface, I played along, "Didn't you say you are very good? Why doubt yourself like this?"

But that's not the point. The point is, "Why do you have such a big conflict with Christopher? Why don't you tell me? I'm really curious."

"Are you curious about me or Christopher?" Lawrence directly took my words, his smile faint, as if waiting for my answer.

Actually, I could feel that he seemed very dangerous at this moment, so I didn't provoke him and replied with a smile, "Of course, it's because of you. You are my husband. I'm not particularly familiar with Christopher."

Lawrence's eyebrows relaxed, "Not familiar? He lived in your house. I thought you grew up together."

He continued, "As for me and him, if you talk about conflict, there's nothing much. Maybe we are just naturally incompatible, destined to be enemies. So, the first time I saw him, I disliked him.

So, whatever I have, he probably wants too. But likewise, whatever he has, I can take away, and I succeeded."

When he said this, Lawrence suddenly looked at me.

I didn't quite understand his look, probably because he thought my family and Christopher's were better than his, so when he said he wanted to take everything from Christopher, he thought of me.

No wonder he would go to such lengths to scheme against me and take everything I had.

With such a twisted mindset, does he hate rich people?

But you can't say that because he desperately wants to have wealth and will stop at nothing to get it.

You can only say he is hypocritical and wants too much.
