Now I understood why they were harsh toward me. It was now clear as day why they were indifferent to me and picked favorites.
Rosalie must’ve known about it. That was why she blatantly bullied me.
No wonder the Talbots behaved as though I should be glad that they raised me and sent me to
school. 1
It was because I wasn’t related to them by blood.
Somehow, my birth parents learned of what happened to me while I was married to Ethan. They started sobbing when they talked about it.
After much effort, they finally found me. However, they had to suffer the grief of losing their child.
I wished to hug them and console them, but I couldn’t. All I could do was watch them cry.
After that day, I felt as though a burden had been lifted from my heart, and my ghost started fading.
I assumed I wouldn’t be staying around for much longer.
I wanted to stay with Leo, but suddenly, my ghost was tugged back to the Sadler residence.
Ethan’s room was in a mess.
Rosalie was curled up on one side of the bed, trembling. Bruises covered her entire body.
Ethan was smoking at the window. Suddenly, a thought seemed to cross his mind, and he pulled the blanket aside.
Nothing was on the bed sheets except for creases His expression turned sour, and he pulled Rosalie up. He demanded, “Rosalie, is this not your first time?”
Holding her head high, she stubbornly said, “It is my
Rosalie froze. She dared not respo
first time!”
“You’re lying! You said you liked me, but you’d already given your first time to someone else. Well played, Rosalie!”
He slapped her so hard she landed back on the bed. Then, he pulled her left arm and pressed the cigarette butt against it.,
Rosalie shrieked. Moments later, Ethan released her and left.
Staring at the wound on her arm, she burst into tears.
A thought crossed her mind. Pulling out her phone, she called Roxanne.
When Roxanne answered the phone, she immediately said, “Mom, Ethan hit me and scorched me with his cigarette. I want a divorce!”
Hah, how familiar. Even our conversations were similar.
However, I wasn’t as assured as she was. I only dared to complain to Roxanne about what happened subtly. I never dared to say I wanted a divorce.
Indeed, those who were loved had nothing to fear.
Roxanne seemed shocked after listening to her. She stumbled for words. At long last, Richard took the phone from her.
