Chapter 48 Why Didn't you Go Get her back?"
Darwin hadn't paid much attention about Fiona, but after hanging out for years, he knew some of her quirks. Like, Fiona was all about kissing.
When he was in a good mood, before and after getting it on, he'd throw her a long kiss as a reward.
Every time, she'd be over the moon.
But now, every time he kissed her, it ended with a mouthful of blood.
Darwin had no choice. He had to grip her chin tight.
She was forced to open her mouth, unable to bite him.
After he had his fill, he coldly said, "Even if you're grossed out, suck it up. I'm not done with you yet, so you're stuck with me!"
Fiona stayed quiet.
Darwin didn't even try to hide his cruelty.
After speaking, he gently wiped the blood off Fiona's lips, making her pale lips a bit redder.
He let go of her.
Because he had used too much force, there were bruises on both sides of her cheeks, super noticeable.
Darwin instinctively frowned.
He remembered she was really scared of pain.
Darwin's anger faded, and he was hit with a wave of helplessness.
He raised his hand and patted Fiona's head. "Be good, and you'll suffer less."
Fiona looked at him. "Good? How good? Like Lilian?"
Darwin's just-dissipated anger flared up again instantly. "Why are you bringing her up?"
"Aren't I her stand-in? Why can't I mention her?" Fiona asked coldly, "Darwin, was I too good before, and Bella couldn't satisfy you in bed? If that's the case, I'll go teach Bella right now. If you want, I'll stay inside and teach her while you're doing it!"
She paused, ignoring Darwin's murderous expression.
She laughed. "Of course, one woman might not be enough for you. I can also teach Miss Ross. She's so beautiful, with a great figure, charming in every way, except she doesn't look like Lilian..."
"I didn't sleep with Bella, and I won't sleep with Hathaway either." Darwin interrupted Fiona, sounding kinda defeated.
He never thought one day, he wouldn't be able to handle Fiona.
Fiona was stunned for a moment.
She laughed silently.
Hadn't he seen her true nature?
He still thought she was a foolish woman who would believe everything he said with admiration?
"Fiona, stop it." Darwin wrapped his arms around Fiona's waist, burying his head in her neck.
Fiona's heart ached terribly.
Meanwhile, she cursed herself for being so useless.
When Darwin was tired before, he always liked to do this.
"I've made it clear with Hathaway. We'll only have a business marriage, and once both sides achieve their goals, we'll divorce immediately. She doesn't love me, and I don't love her." He had more to say, but stopped. He had wanted to say, "I don't want anyone else now, I only want you."
Fiona closed her eyes. "Darwin, do you know where that place just now was?"
Darwin instinctively clenched his fist. "It was my family's cemetery."
Fiona coldly pushed Darwin away. "I guess you already know my grandmother died, right?"
"Why didn't you..." Darwin stopped there.
That message had almost become his nightmare recently.
In his dreams, he always wanted to reply to her, even wanted to buy a ticket to Serene City.
But every time he tried to reply, the keyboard wouldn't work, and the voice message never sent.
In his dreams, he could never make it to the airport.
Fiona said, "My mom hated mistresses, my grandpa was a stand-up guy his whole life, and my grandma... my grandma never knew I sold myself for surgery money."
"Stop it, don't say anymore!" Darwin hugged her tight.
"But what about you?" Fiona's voice shook, tears falling on Darwin's hand. "You were there, mocking me, saying I was someone you bought! They heard it! They all knew it! How can the dead accept that? My family won't rest in peace because of you! Darwin! Do you even have a heart?"
Darwin hadn't thought that far. He just wanted to dissuade Dagwood.
He just wanted Fiona to see what those men would be like after knowing this. "Sweetie, I wasn't mad at you..."
"Don't call me that!" Fiona interrupted through gritted teeth.
"Since you already know my grandma passed away..." Fiona gritted her teeth, calming herself, "What were you doing abroad at that time?"
Darwin froze, his face turning pale.
Fiona lowered her eyes, her shoulders shaking with silent laughter.
Darwin didn't know she was also keeping an eye on Lilian's movements.
So she naturally knew that when Darwin rushed abroad, Lilian's marriage had fallen apart.
Lilian's husband was caught having an orgy on the beach with several women.
That night, Darwin went abroad.
His public excuse was to inspect a project.
It was the only time he inspected a project without taking Fiona.
However, as soon as Darwin left, Fiona's grandmother had an accident.
A few days later, she passed away.
When Fiona was scared and terrified, Darwin was probably by Lilian's side.
"If you had told me your grandma passed away, I would have come back," he said in a deep voice.
"No." Fiona shook her head with a smile, tears sliding down her cheeks. "You wouldn't have come back. I can even imagine what you would say and do if I told you."
She lightly licked her dry lips. "You would give me a check and have Henry help me handle it. If Lilian wasn't doing well at that time, you would be annoyed that I brought it up inappropriately."
"No!" Darwin immediately refuted.
Fiona looked at him. "Darwin, before I left, how important did you think I was to you?"
Darwin's back stiffened.
"From the moment you went abroad, I waited every day, waiting for you to bring Lilian back and send me away," Fiona continued, "I just don't understand, you were already tired of me, and by God's grace, Lilian's husband cheated on her. You love her so much, why didn't you go get her back?"
The gloom in Darwin's heart grew heavier.
So, from that time, she had already wanted to leave him.
"Didn't you love me at all?" Darwin asked.
Fiona looked at him sadly.
Then she heard her own voice, devoid of any emotion, answering, "No."
She originally thought Darwin would probably strangle her in the next second.
But she didn't expect he gently tucked her loose hair behind her ear.
"It doesn't matter," he said.
"There's plenty of time. I have enough time to make you love me."
