“She likes Lambert, right?” Jack laughed at himself.
Because she liked Lambert, she was willing to become a tool of the Stuttgart family for so many years. She hid her identity for Lambert and became his wife.
Guo Miao and Tong Pei didn’t say anything.
His wife, who had been in love with him for many years and had taken good care of him, actually liked his enemy. Anyone would find it difficult to accept.
“I know it’s not easy to accept this, Jack. But perhaps you should listen to the clan elders now,” said Tong Pei.
The room fell silent.
The sky outside was frighteningly dark, and the heavy rain was pattering against the windows.
The elders of the Orsola family had made it very clear that if Jack wanted to stay in this family, he had to give Catherine up.
They would even disregard the conflict between the two families and directly get rid of Catherine.
“Do you have any way to let me see Catherine? Just one look!” Jack pleaded.
After so many years of friendship as husband and wife, how could things be broken just like that?
Guo Miao and Tong Pei looked at each other, and Guo Miao finally nodded.
The secret meeting between Jack and Catherine was arranged for the evening.
Jack’s legs were much better. He sat in the wheelchair and looked out of the window.
Guo Miao had chosen the place. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was arranged, but from the window of the restaurant, one could see a huge Ferris wheel.
That was the landmark of Fog City, Fog City Wheel.
That was the place where he and Catherine had their first date. He had planned it for a long time.
He had booked the Ferris wheel and arranged a fireworks show on the river bank.
When the Ferris wheel reached its peak, he held Catherine’s face and kissed her gently.
At that moment, all the fireworks had exploded together, lighting up the entire night sky.
At that moment, Catherine’s eyelashes had been trembling slightly, and she curled up in his arms, looking so petite and cute, like a kitten that was easily frightened.
He had said to her, “Stay with me. 1’11 take good care of you.”
Catherine didn’t say anything. She just buried her head in his chest and sobbed softly.
At the time, he had thought that it was tears of joy, but now that he thought about it, it was probably because she could no longer be with Lambert.
He laughed at himself.
The sound of high heels coming over interrupted his thoughts. The familiar woman walked around him and sat opposite him.
Probably because she had not lived well in captivity, her face was so thin that it was a little sunken.
“Are you alright?” Catherine spoke first.
“Dr. Guo Miao’s medical skills are very good. There’s nothing wrong with my body,” Jack said. His eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, trying to see the love in her eyes.
However, there was only exhaustion in her eyes.
“How about you? Are you okay?” Jack asked, looking up at her.
The person who was originally familiar and intimate now looked very unfamiliar, like a stranger who did not know him.
“I’m fine. 1 might have to return to Neverland Island soon,” Catherine said.
After hearing this, Jack suddenly realized that the woman sitting in front of him was not Catherine. She should be Rose. The devil who killed without batting an eye, Rose.
Catherine spoke softly to him with a smile in her eyes, but Rose didn’t.
“Then, is it possible for us to meet again?” Jack asked tentatively.
Rose shook her head. “We won’t meet again. I’ll be imprisoned in Neverland for life this time, and you’ll return to the Orsolas to continue your career. We’ll be running on two parallel lines from now on.”
Hearing this, Jack could not help but tremble. In the end, he nodded with a bitter smile. The relationship between the two of them for so many years had finally come to this point.
“Take care of yourself,” Jack said.
“Aren’t you going to ask me about Lambert? Or about why 1 lied to you about poisoning you?” Rose frowned.
The content of this conversation was completely different from what she had imagined..
