Chapter 169 Fed Up With Explaining Again and Again
“Nathaniel, get out.”
Janet frowned as she took a step backward. Then, folding her arms, she stared at Nathaniel coldly.
Janet thought, he looks as if I owe him money! What an a*shole!
“Janet.” Nathaniel enunciated her name slowly. Then, taking a deep breath, he said faintly. “Why are
you lying?”
Nathaniel thought, I have never doubted her, but it turns out that I should have! What an awkward
position she has put me in!
But in Janet’s eyes, Nathaniel was talking nonsense, which she failed to catch.
“How is it that I lie?” Janet was so angry that she burst into laughter.
She thought, how funny! A guy barged in like this in the middle of the night just to question why I was
lying!
He must be out of his head!
“Why can’t you just admit it?” Nathaniel planned to forgive her as long as she admitted that she had
lied.
But he didn’t expect that she would still be that way.
Nathaniel thought, what a fool I am buying her story just because she acted sincere!
I even went so far as to have Alfred investigate it.
Janet, still perplexed, asked, “Nathaniel you have barged in here in the middle of the night, accusing
me of lying and saying that I should admit it. That’s pure harassment, don’t you think? I wonder what I
have done wrong to make you treat me this way!”
Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, which made Janet sneer, “You aren’t here because you
lost the bet to me today, are you?
Nathaniel you are so petty.”
Nathaniel frowned, his pupils contracting slightly. “Don’t change the subject. I had Alfred investigate the
miscarriage you’ve suffered.”
Janet was stunned upon hearing that.
She thought, the miscarriage…
I didn’t expect Nathaniel would have people investigate the matter… But after a glance at Nathaniel
and some thoughts into the aggressive manner Nathaniel had, Janet understood what was going on
right away, which brought a trace of anger to her.
Janet thought, whatever he found out, it was not the case.
That is because if he had dug up the truth, he wouldn’t have acted this way.
Janet sneered again, her eyes full of ridicule. “So? What have you found?”
“You can’t hide your secret forever, Janet. For things that have never happened, you simply can’t
conjure them out of lies. Eventually,
people will find out that you’re a liar. So, you were not pregnant and there was never any abortion, am I
right?” Nathaniel gnashed his teeth
and looked just like someone who had been deceived.
Nathaniel’s words sent a surge of pain to Janet’s heart.
Janet wondered, what kind of investigator he had hired! How funny!
Janet could still remember how overjoyed she was when she learned that she was pregnant and how
painful it was knowing she had suffered from a miscarriage.
But all of that was nothing to Nathaniel since he chose not to believe her.
Janet didn’t see a need to explain.
She was fed up with explaining again and again.
“Hey! Nathaniel, since you are so sure that I was lying, so be it.”
She couldn’t care less about what he thought now because Nathaniel was no longer important to her.
But Nathaniel wasn’t as calm as Janet was. In fact, he felt a surge of anger right after Janet’s words.
Raising his voice, he started to question Janet, “I don’t understand why you did all this! Why? Janet,
that day in Grandpa’s garden, you were
so sincere when talking about the pregnancy and the miscarriage. I wouldn’t have asked Alfred to
investigate it if it weren’t for your
sincerity. But now…”
“That’s enough. I didn’t ask you to investigate anything!”
Janet bit her lower lip, her eyes reddening.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
But Janet felt sad only because she thought of everything she was put through, not because of
Nathaniel’s lack of trust in her.
Janet had loved Nathaniel for so many years. But in return, he gave her nothing.
Worse still, he kept hurting her again and again.
