Chapter117Â
“This is totally impossible, and my family is not short of money,Â
I don’t need you to go out and work yourself to death to earnÂ
money. What I want is a wife, not a money–making machine.”Â
Adelaide gave a slight smile and reminded him, “Garrett, it’sÂ
time to wake up. We ended a long time ago, and isn’t AmandaÂ
the kind of wife you need? By the way, congratulations inÂ
advance on your upcoming wedding after the New Year.“”Â

Just now it was intense, Adelaide’s words were like a bucket ofÂ
cold water, it chilled him to the bone.Â
I also woke up.Â
Garrett refused, “It’s okay to change your mind during theÂ
cooling–off period, Adele. As long as you don’t want to divorceÂ
me, then we won’t divorce. As for Amanda, I will handle itÂ
properly.“”Â
“Okay?”Â
Adelaide raised her hand, not giving him a chance to touch.Â
“Why did you think we could go back in the first place?”Â
“I don’t believe you can just throw away all those years of ourÂ
Chapter117Â
relationship,” Garrett said firmly and struggling, “Everyone can make mistakes, but not admitting them, that shouldn’t beÂ
forgiven. But I realized my mistake long ago, I want to change, I want to make amends, it’s just that you never gave me a chance, Adele.”Â
Adelaide stared at him, and from his eyes, she didn’t see anyÂ
sincerity after he realized his mistake.Â
On the contrary, it has been mixed with other impurities.Â
She smirked and said, “Alright, I’ll give you a chance.”Â
Garrett’s eyes lit up, unable to contain his excitement: “Really?”Â
Adelaide said expressionlessly, “After all, your engagement toÂ
Amanda has already been leaked, now the whole EvercrestÂ
knows about it. So if we want to go back to the way thingsÂ
were, there’s definitely going to be a price to pay.”Â
“I’m willing to pay any price,” Garrett nodded excitedly.Â
Adelaide was teasing in her eyes: “There was only one solutionÂ
at the time, I cut ties with the Pierce family, and you’re noÂ
longer a Barnard family son. Let’s leave Evercrest together andÂ
start fresh somewhere else, what do you think?”Â
After saying that, Garrett’s body shook slightly, and he weaklyÂ
asked, “Do we have to do it this way?”Â
Chapter117Â
His reaction, already gave the answer.Â
In Adelaide as expected.Â
Adelaide sneered, “So this is what you said, willing to doÂ
anything at all costs?”Â
“You misunderstood me,” Garrett explained awkwardly, “MyÂ
parents raised me since I was little. If I suddenly cut ties withÂ
them and move to another place, they would definitely beÂ
upset.”Â
“Adele, listen to me, there must be other solutions besides thisÂ
one. Give me some time, I promise I will handle it.””Â
“Garrett, you’re not reluctant to leave your parents, you’reÂ
reluctant to give up your inheritance,” Adelaide ruthlesslyÂ
exposed his true thoughts.Â
“No, it’s not like that. The Barnard family, stuff was originallyÂ
supposed to be split between me and my brother, I…”Â
“How did your father convince you to come back to theÂ
country?”Â
“It’s because of you,” Garrett exclaimed urgently. “I couldn’tÂ
stand it when I found out you were with another man.”Â
“Really?” Adelaide murmured, “You think I don’t know that SirÂ
Barnard handed over full control of a subsidiary to you?”Â
Chapter117Â
Garrett opened his mouth, but couldn’t make a sound.Â
“Garrett, you’ve been lying to me all this time,” Adelaide’s eyesÂ
were sharp as knives, no lingering, just dead inside. “Don’t bringÂ
up our years of relationship anymore, you really don’t deserveÂ
to talk about the past. You pursue what you want, and now IÂ
have what I want.”Â
