Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 76 - 75 I Left, I Went to Switzerland 1

Faye laughed, "You're smart, I'm quite satisfied with this explanation."

Oliver looked at Faye, who seemed particularly approachable today, feeling a bit puzzled.

"What's going on with you today? Are you alright?"

"Of course, do I look like something's wrong to you?"

Faye widened her eyes and let him scrutinize her.

Oliver shrugged, "It just feels like you're different today, like you've suddenly become much more cheerful."

Faye pursed her lips, "I've thought it over carefully. Since we're already divorced, I'm free.

I can't always live in the shadow of the past.

Now that I'm divorced, I still need to live beautifully.

Reflecting on myself over the past twenty-three years, what I loved most was the carefree, innocent, and joyous me of that time.

I swore in front of my parents' graves that I must live my life in the way I like.

Back then, I loved Hunter Warren, so I liked myself when I gave everything to pursue him.

But now, I love myself, so I want to be the person I want to be."

Oliver stared steadily at this woman who always surprised him.

He raised his hands to applaud her, "Knowing you is truly my honor."

Faye smiled slyly, even though she was trying hard, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

He believed that one day, she would surely come out of that failed marriage.

He would wait for her, and when that day came, he would welcome her with open arms.

"Oliver, you were someone who helped me when I needed it most.

Is there anything you particularly want to do?"

"What, are you going to repay me?"

Faye laughed, "Can't I? Even though we have a transactional relationship.

But if I think about it carefully, you've helped me way more than I've helped you.

I'm a woman with a conscience.

Apart from marrying you, is there anything else you wish for me to do?

I'll do my utmost."

Oliver crossed his arms, "You've avoided the thing I most want."

Faye smiled but said nothing.

After a moment of thought, his demeanor suddenly became much more sincere.

"I've thought about it, Faye, promise me that if one day you move on from your feelings for Hunter.

Then as a marriage partner, the first person you should consider must be me. I'll wait for you."

Faye looked at him and paused, "I don't want to hurt Clara."

"You're such a fool, didn't I tell you before?

Clara is just like a daughter to me; I don't love her."

Faye pursed her lips, "I... I'll think about it because I don't have confidence in myself."

Oliver reached out and held her hand, "Don't be afraid, actually, moving on from a relationship isn't as hard as you think."

Faye smiled, how could she possibly agree with him?

What right did she have to use a dead heart to burden the vibrant Oliver?

Even if he would become the last straw in her emotions, she wouldn't grasp it.

Oliver was very busy; he couldn't stay in the hospital with her constantly.

After lunch, he left in a hurry.

Faye lay alone in the hospital.

She was about to leave soon, and she had to recover quickly.

At half-past three in the afternoon, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward.

Faye looked toward the door, "Who is it?"

"Faye, it's Clara."

Faye relaxed a little, "Come in."

Clara pushed the door open and walked in with a bouquet of fresh flowers. She awkwardly stood at the entrance looking at her for a long while before saying apologetically, "Faye, I'm sorry."

Faye smiled, "Clara, come on in."

Clara walked over and placed the flowers on the table.

Faye gestured to the chair opposite, "Have a seat."

Clara sat down and looked at her, "Are you... alright?"

"Didn't Director Turner tell you when he went back yesterday?

I'm not seriously injured, it was just a little bleeding.

For us women who bleed a few days every month, it's really nothing."

"Is it really nothing?"

"It's really nothing." Faye nodded seriously.

Clara breathed a sigh of relief, "I was worried all night yesterday.

I wanted to ask Uncle Turner about you.

But Uncle Turner didn't come home all night.

That's why I was more worried.

So this morning, I asked Victor Jude to help me find your whereabouts.

Seeing you're alright, I'm relieved."

"Director Turner didn't go home last night? I thought he did."

"Didn't he stay here with you?"

Faye shook her head, "I didn't ask him to stay here."

This was her own business; why should she drag others into it?

"He... didn't go home; could it be that he doesn't want to see me?" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Faye suddenly laughed at her appearance.

"Yesterday, you seemed so brave when you threatened to jump.

Why are you so indecisive today?"

"That's different; yesterday was for love.

And today... I'm worried that Uncle Turner would hate me.

I almost killed his child.

No matter how much I love him.

But ultimately, we have no blood relationship.

Whereas the baby in your womb is his flesh and blood.

I don't want him to hate me because of this."

Faye's hand caressed her own abdomen, "Who told you this was Director Turner's child?"

"Isn't it?"

Faye pursed her lips, smiling and shaking her head, "No."

"Impossible, if it's not, why would Uncle Turner be so worried?"

Clara was deeply conflicted inside.

Upon hearing the news, she instinctively felt happy.

Because if the child wasn't Uncle Turner's, it meant she still had a chance.

But on the other hand, she was worried.

Since the child wasn't his, yet he was worried about Faye, it proved his feelings for Faye were genuine.

Thinking this, she was not just conflicted but also depressed.

"It's really not.

Clara, I know what you're thinking.

Rest assured, I'll be leaving Eldoria within these two days.

I won't compete with you for him; I have self-awareness. You go for it."

"Faye, actually I have a question for you."

Faye nodded, "Go ahead."

Clara hesitated for a while before asking, "I've heard Victor talk about you.

Rumor has it, you pursued Hunter to the extent of not caring about anything.

It's said you did many crazy things for him.

Given how much you loved him and you both got married,

you should have been very happy.

Why did you get divorced?

Could it be... after marriage, you realized the one you love isn't actually what you imagined?"

This question... Faye found it hard to answer.

She remained silent, without saying a word.

"We are both of the same age; I think some problems can be communicated.

If the roles were reversed, if I married Uncle Turner,

no matter what happened, I wouldn't divorce him.

You said to me that day, only a marriage built on love is an equal and fair marriage.

But before getting married, you knew he didn't love you, right?

What you wanted at that time was quite simple, just a life-long companionship, right?

He didn't love you, but you loved him.

How could you possibly divorce? I really can't understand.

Even if the divorce was initiated by Hunter, you could have refused, right?"

Faye chuckled and shook her head.

"Why are you laughing, did I say something wrong?

You said that day we were alike, but in that regard, we're actually not alike at all.

At least our ways of handling things are different."

Faye pursed her lips, nodded, and smiled, "Clara, I actually want to advise you on something.

If in this life, your other half is destined not to be someone you mutually love,

then marrying a man who loves you will always be better than marrying a man you love.

Actually, love is like a tug of war.

The winners are always those who love less in the relationship.

With Hunter... I've loved until I'm exhausted.

I'm in so much pain that I'm utterly spent, barely hanging on.

If only he extended a hand to pull me up, not even that—a look of encouragement from him.

I'd have the strength to get back up.

But... he just continued moving forward, completely ignoring me.

My love was, bit by bit, stripped away by his coldness, until... only a soulless shell was left.

This was a one-person show of love.

Such a marriage trapped him and killed me.

Rather than this, why not set him free?"

Clara looked at Faye's calm expression.

"Won't you regret it?"

"Regret, of course, I do, but I only regret why I didn't choose to love myself more back then.

My life now feels very comfortable."

Her hand moved to her abdomen, "I have a new hope to sustain my life.

I know that in the future, I will be very happy."

Clara pouted, "Then is this child... Hunter's?"

Faye pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head, "I won't answer that question."

Clara nodded, "I understand, then I won't ask again."

The two of them exchanged smiles.

She actually really wanted to tell Clara, Oliver isn't the right one for you.

If possible, please leave him.

But she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Some things, if not experienced personally, she might regret for a lifetime.

Just like back then... someone advised her too, that Hunter wasn't suitable for her.

But she completely ignored their words.

At that time, her eyes were only filled with love, with her own obsession.

How could she hear others' words then?

Until she truly got hurt badly in this pit, that's when she finally understood.

An onlooker sees clearly.

Kay arrived at the entrance of the hospital at around four in the morning.

Faye was startled awake by the sound of her phone.

Seeing it was Kay calling, she became much more awake and answered the phone.

"Hello, Kay."

"I'm at the entrance of the People's Hospital, what floor are you on?"

"26th floor, bed 6."

Kay hung up and came up.

Seeing Faye in a hospital gown with a full face of weariness, Kay paused for a full five seconds.

"How did you get yourself into this sorry state?"

His tone was unpleasant, but the expression on his face was full of concern.

Faye giggled and opened her arms wide, "Aren't you going to give me a big hug?"
