Chapter 265 Raymond Was Lonely and Needed Warmth
Hearing this, Raymond was slightly stunned.
It turned out that Alvin didn't lie to him; Margaret really did come to the hospital to bring him soup.
But he didn't know why he never received the soup Margaret brought, nor did he see Margaret.
No matter the reason, Raymond knew that Margaret had come, which meant she cared about him, and she wasn't that heartless.
Just now, when Margaret slapped him, he wasn't even angry anymore.
Marlon hit him and tried to frame him, but he wasn't angry about that either.
Raymond suddenly felt that today, there was finally something to be happy about.
Seeing Nancy was about to slap Margaret, Raymond thought Margaret was really quite foolish. Nancy hit her, and she just stood there stupidly without dodging.
When the slap was about to land on Margaret's face, Margaret suddenly noticed a figure flash before her eyes.
When she saw Raymond standing in front of her clearly, she was stunned.
Raymond had grabbed Nancy's wrist with considerable strength, holding her firmly.
"What right do you have to hit her? Don't you realize that you and Marlon are a burden to Margaret? Margaret gave up her dignity for you and Marlon! She begged me to help the Hughes Family and take care of you two!" Raymond was furious and indignant. "She is the heiress of the Hughes Family and has always been proud in front of me! For Marlon, she knelt in the snow outside the Hughes Group to plead for him! To gather Marlon's medical expenses and soften my heart, she even resorted to self-harm! Isn't that enough?"
Marlon, lying on the ground, heard about Margaret's sacrifices for him and the Hughes Family, and tears of regret and pain mixed with blood flowed from his eyes.
Nancy, already angry, became even more enraged upon hearing Raymond's words.
She glared hatefully at Margaret behind Raymond and laughed bitterly, "Well, so you two are in this together now, huh? You think we're a burden to you?"
"Mom, it's not like that," Margaret quickly explained, seeing Nancy's misunderstanding.
Nancy laughed loudly, "You two really know how to cooperate! Margaret, does he treat you with respect? And you still foolishly side with him!"
Raymond's face grew colder as he gripped Nancy's wrist and gritted his teeth, "Margaret is my wife! No one has the right to hit her or speak ill of her! Not even you!"
Raymond didn't know why he suddenly felt the need to defend Margaret at this moment.
He didn't want to see Margaret misunderstood or bullied; he wanted to speak up for her. Because she was the mother of his child.
Margaret was momentarily stunned when she heard Raymond say this.
If it had been before, she would have been very touched and happy to hear him say that. But now Margaret felt it was ironic.
Did Raymond ever treat her as his wife? He only saw her as a stepping stone for revenge; she was just a tool for him to use.
Raymond's words sounded nice. But in reality, he never did anything to show he loved her.
If he loved her, if he considered her feelings. Would he allow Sarah to hurt her?
If Raymond loved her, would he be unreachable several times when she was in the most danger?
If he loved her, would he push Marlon off the balcony, leaving her with no peace even in death?
Margaret, furious, pushed Raymond away and stood in front of Nancy, glaring at Raymond, "Raymond, shut up! You have no right to talk to my mom like that! Anyone can say they love me, but you have no right!"
"Margaret, why are you so ungrateful? Who am I speaking up for?" Raymond's heart, which had just warmed up, instantly turned cold when she pushed him away.
He spoke up for her, but she didn't appreciate it and even pushed him away, yelling at him.
They were a couple. How could he not have the right to speak up for her? If he didn't have the right, then who did? Daniel?
Raymond's gaze at Margaret grew colder inch by inch.
He felt like he was in a freezing wasteland, so cold.
"Margaret, you really disappoint me. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to this dinner." Raymond's eyes reddened, and he looked hurt.
The dinner was ruined, and it had turned into such a mess.
He had prepared so much for today's dinner.
Alvin was supposed to help him prepare gifts for the Hughes, but he wanted to do it himself.
Knowing Marlon liked antiques, He took out his treasured antiques and personally wrapped them.
Nancy always tried to sow discord between him and Margaret; he had heard it many times. Nancy incited Margaret to divorce him.
He wasn't someone who didn't hold grudges, nor was he indifferent.
With his cold personality, he didn't need to lower himself to please these heinous people.
But for Margaret, for the child in Margaret's belly.
He still personally selected various supplements to give to Nancy.
Margaret used to like luxury purses, and each of them was very expensive.
In the past, Raymond thought she was wasteful.
He didn't have the means to buy her such good bags.
Now he was the CEO of the Hughes Group.
No matter how expensive or rare the purses she liked were, he could satisfy her.
Raymond used to disdain pleasing Margaret because Margaret would cling to him, giving him the illusion that she would never leave his sight and never change her heart.
Now, when he wanted to lower himself to save their marriage and their relationship, but she stood on the opposite side.
Once, when they were dating, he jokingly asked Margaret if she would hate him and leave him if he treated her badly in the future.
At that time, he was already planning to take revenge on Margaret.
Margaret smiled brightly, nestled in his arms, and confidently said, "No matter how bad you treat me, I won't leave you."
He asked again, "What if it's really bad? Can you handle it? Can you not hate me?"
Margaret kissed his face and gently said, "No, I will always love you, no matter what happens."
Margaret would stay by Raymond's side and accompany him forever.
Because Margaret thought Raymond needed her; he was lonely and needed warmth.
Raymond still remembered these words clearly, but only he remembered them now.
The Margaret in front of him seemed to have really changed.
"Marlon, don't close your eyes! Please, look at me!" Raymond and Margaret locked eyes, and Nancy's cries and wails echoed in their ears.
