Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 196

It was understandable why they weren’t willing to hand it over. For hundreds of years, the Taylor family had been guarding the jade.

Hearing her say this, Bach was extremely disappointed. His face darkened, and his voice turned cold. “Kathleen, we’ve already had our wedding. You’re the Taylor family’s young lady. You have to come back with me.”

“If you don’t go back, I will…”

Kathleen knew what Bach would say next, so she interrupted him, “Bach, your wedding with me hasn’t been completed. I’m still not your wife.”

“Moreover, everything between you and me ended after that explosion.”

“I once thought that I could marry you, but the wedding was ruined. I really did have selfish motives. Bach, I’m sorry.”

Kathleen knew how Bach felt for her.

However, it was not that she had no feelings for Bach, but that her heart no longer belonged to her. It was impossible for her to be together with Bach.

If it were not for her mother, she would not have agreed to this marriage in the first place.

“No! It’s not over yet!” Hearing what Kathleen said, Bach was heartbroken. How could he let go of Kathleen?

Kathleen said helplessly, “Bach, all these years you’ve taken care of me, I’ve remembered it, but when it comes to love…”

“Kathleen, tell me, are you still in love with John? Is that why you rejected me?” Bach was unwilling to listen to her rejection.

Kathleen’s heart could not help but tighten.

Was she in love with John?

She did not know that the feeling she had toward John was very contradictory.

Kathleen’s silence made Bach’s face turn ashen, and his voice turned cold. “Kathleen, could it be that you have forgotten how John treated you back then? Could it be my companionship all these years could not melt your heart?”

“I’m sorry…”

After a long while, Kathleen apologized.

There was only one thing that Kathleen could say. “I’m sorry.”

Bach was furious, and he held Kathleen’s shoulders with both hands.

He said pleadingly, “I don’t want to be sorry. I want you to be the young lady of the Taylor family!”

“Don’t act like this.” Kathleen felt a little dizzy.

“You’re a good man, but it’s really impossible for you and I to be together!”

“Before I returned to Hillford, I felt that everything was fine, but…”

If that night had not happened between her and John, perhaps she would have married Bach.

She would have been lying to herself.

Kathleen’s reply made Bach’s heart ache. His eyes were filled with blood as he stared fixedly at Kathleen. “Why is it impossible? I love you. If you’re willing to give me a chance, it’s possible between us!”

Bach’s stubbornness made Kathleen feel heartache and helplessness. “Bach, don’t you understand? I was never good enough for you. I had been with a man and even gave birth to a child. The young lady of the Taylor family should be an innocent woman… and I have no way of forcing myself to be with you.”

Since things had developed to this point, even if saying it would hurt Bach, she could only do so.

Hearing Kathleen’s words, Bach’s heart ached so much that it felt like he was suffocating.

That kind of pain was like a sharp knife stabbing fiercely into his heart.

It seemed that Kathleen was determined not to go back with him no matter what he said.

It was not that she was not worthy, but that she did not want to force herself to be with him.

Bach laughed bitterly, putting away the cold expression on his face, and his tone became much gentler. “Kathleen, I might as well tell you. The last time the hotel exploded, your mother found out that you had gone missing and her illness had relapsed. She only hugged your photo and mumbled to herself all day long. Could it be that you are so heartless to abandon her?”

After all these years of being together, Bach more or less understood Kathleen. She cared very much about her mother.

In order to make Kathleen follow him back, he could only use this method that even he detested.

“What did you say?”

As Bach’s words fell, Kathleen was shocked beyond words.

Her unfocused eyes were filled with grief.

In this world, other than her two children, the only person she cared about was her mother. Hearing that her old illness had relapsed, Kathleen only felt as if her throat was stuffed with cotton, unable to make a sound.

A boiling hot tear slid down and dripped onto the back of his hand.

“Kathleen, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have told you all this.” Seeing her tear up, Bach could not bear it anymore.

As he spoke, he gently pulled Kathleen into his embrace and softly comforted her. “Kathleen, come back with me. Let’s bring your mother to the Taylor family to live together, alright?”

Since she cared so much about her mother, he could do anything for her and was willing to care for her mother.

Although it was a little despicable, he had not cared what he said as long as Kathleen could return to his side.

When Kathleen heard that her mother was going crazy again, her heart felt like a knife was stabbing it.

Tommy and Anne were sitting in front of the computer, looking at Kathleen and Bach, hearing their conversation.

Especially Anne, when she heard that Bach wanted to take her mother away, her expression became extremely ugly.

She pouted. “What should we do? Uncle Bach wants to take mommy away from daddy again.” “I don’t want mommy and daddy to be separated. I want us to live together as a family.”

“Mommy has already told him so clearly. What’s wrong with this uncle Bach? Previously, he snatched the jade away and didn’t let mommy treat his eyes. He actually used such a despicable method.”

Tommy rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, “I used to have a good impression of uncle Bach, but today…”

“No!” Anne stood up from the sofa. “I have to think of a way to stop mommy from leaving.”

Tommy had always been smart. After a while, he immediately had an idea. “Don’t worry. Mommy won’t leave us, and she won’t leave Daddy.”

When he said this, his expression was very serious.

This expression could be said to be almost the same as John’s. It was filled with wisdom.

“Really?”

Anne looked at Tommy happily. His pair of beautiful big eyes were crystal clear.

“Of course, it’s true.” Tommy nodded. “We’ll inform daddy to go back immediately.”

As he spoke, Tommy took out his phone and quickly called John.

The moment the call went through, without waiting for John to speak, Tommy immediately told John about the situation and told him to go back as soon as possible.

When John received the call, his cold face instantly turned cold. A wave of coldness rushed over and directly announced the end of the meeting. Then, he drove to the apartment.

“You’re so smart.” Anne clapped happily.

At this moment, rustling sounds came from the computer, interfering with their signal. The screen flashed a few times, followed by an ear-piercing buzzing sound. It was particularly uncomfortable.

When Tommy heard this sound, his small eyebrows furrowed.

With his understanding of this aspect, he quickly reacted. Someone had placed a surveillance device in the apartment..
