Chapter 14 The next morning , word from the Spencer arrived . Their stance was the same as ever : Robert's rank was too high and his missions were too dangerous . As a soldier , he couldn't refuse . What if something happened one day ? What would Lydia be like ? Their daughter shouldn't be doomed to widowhood . They wanted her to marry someone safe , steady . Robert had expected this . He was about to reassure them , maybe even reveal that Lydia might already be pregnant , when he discovered he couldn't reach her . No messages returned . Calls unanswered . Remembering the last time her family forced her into a blind date , Robert drove straight to the Spencer's house . As he'd thought , the Spencer placed Lydia under house confinement , forcing her to choose a candidate from their selection of arranged matches . " Dad , Mom , why can't you let me be with the man I love ? Even if Robert faces danger , I'm not afraid , as long as I can stay with him ! " Lydia's voice trembled with tears . Mr. Spencer gazed on her with bitter disappointment . " Do you think we don't know what you've done ? Before , when Wendy was Jaround , you clung to Robert , and we tolerated it . But now Wendy's gone . If you keep chasing him , you'll disgrace this family ! " " What have I done ... " Lydia's voice faltered , her face pale . " You'll do as we say . Pick a candidate and stop this nonsense . " Mr. Spencer shot her a look of exasperation Outside , Robert froze . What she's done ? His instincts warned him that things weren't as they appeared on the surface . Instead of entering immediately , he hesitated , then turned and headed back toward his home as if suddenly remembering something urgent .. As a military officer , surveillance cameras were a routine presence in his home . But when he pulled up the archived footage , he froze . It was Lydia , the girl he'd always assumed meek and obedient , had framed Wendy . The recording clearly showed that day in the kitchen : it wasn't Wendy who pushed Lydia , but Lydia deliberately falling and blaming it to Wendy , What followed was even more shocking footage of Lydia threatening Wendy , each revelation making his blood run cold . The truth was nothing like he'd imagined . All this time , he had misjudged Wendy . No wonder she had been so heartbroken . No wonder she insisted she had done nothing wrong In his mind , Wendy's expression from that day surfaced with unbearable clarity , as if she were staring back through time itself , demanding to know why it had taken him so long to see the truth . His breath hitched at a suspended moment , when numerous memories crashed over him like a wave . All these years of Wendy's unwavering devotion - her love for him , her desperate rush to save their photo even at the cost of her life , the adoration in her eyes every time she looked at him - she was Wendy , the one he had consistently overlooked . He pulled out the train ticket in a sudden . Five hours left . He still had time to reach her ! But before he could leave , his phone rang . Lydia's voice burst through , brimming with excitement " Robert ! My parents Unally agreed ! " His brows were knitted tightly . " They agreed ? " " Yes , I told them I'm carrying your child . Once we make it real , they'll have to accept us . " Her voice , a blend of shyness and Anticipation , twisted his stomach into knots of disgust , so he sneered . " But I don't want to be with you anymore , Lydia . It's over . " Her breath hitched , followed by a voice in disbelief , " What ? Robert , why ? We had everything planned- " " Why ? " He interrupted . " How shameless you are ! She treated you so kindly , cared for you every day , and you repaid her by slandering her in my face, bringing punishment on her . I can't believe I was blind enough to trust you" Chapter 14 WebNovel 4.3 FREE It's been a while , but I'm Ending me a 5833 % " No , it's not what you think , let me explain- She spoke in panic , but he didn't care at all .
