Emily clung tightly to his shirt, her voice soft and pale as she said, “Richard, don’t blame Harriet. She did everything for your sake … and to protect the Ford Family’s name. I know I’m not worthy of you. I’m not good enough to marry into the Ford Family … ”
“I’ve accepted it for ten years. Harriet can punish me if she wants to … ”
Richard held her closer and said softly, “Don’t say that. I understand everything now. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer ten years of pain for nothing.”
After that, he picked her up in his arms and looked back at me.
“Harriet, I will settle the past ten years with you!”
Bryan saw them leaving and quickly ran after them. The driver rushed over to open the car door. Richard carried Emily into the car and Bryan got in with them.
They looked like a perfect family of three.
As the car drove away, I slowly looked away. When I turned around, the cold wind blew hard, cutting into my skin. Ten years had passed, but like a leaf falling from a tree, it left no trace behind.
The servants whispered behind me.
“She’s been his wife for ten years and still haven’t had a child. Isn’t that just taking up space without doing anything?”
“Shh! Don’t let Mrs. Ford hear you!”
