The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

1 pressed my lips together, my eyes filled with a sense of determination. Some things just couldert stay hidden forever. “Calix believes you because he had faith in your relationship. But others can see right through it you can’t hide the truth from everyone.”

“Also, Cathy, be honest with yourself. Back then, you deliberately kept silent, not just because you were at a loss for words, but there was also a hint of that spoiled attitude in you. You were certain that Calix cared for you deeply, and even if you were caught red–handed, he wouldn’t abandon you.”

“You were waiting for him to speak up, to shatter his self–esteem just to satisfy your own caprice! Cathy, aren’t you being far too selfish?”

I actually hit the nail on the head!

Cathy’s anger quickly shifted to shock as she stared at me in disbelief. How on earth had I managed to see through what she was thinking back then?

After a while, she finally thought of a way to retort. She was Cathy, after all, and she wasn’t about to let me trample all over her like this. Thinking about that made her nod with a sense of satisfaction.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. So what? No matter how capricious I am, Calix loves me, and he’s

willing to give me everything.”

She boasted about Calix’s love, and that once elegant and noble look on her face was replaced by something so shameless. She now seemed so vulgar that it was almost nauseating to look at her.

I couldn’t help but wonder, if Calix saw her like this, would he still be able to like her? My gaze drifted to another figure not too far away, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of my lips.

Cathy didn’t notice the change in my expression and took a step closer with each word she said.

“Anya, this is the difference between you and me!”

I had “stolen” Calix from her for four years, and that made her hate me to the core. During all that time, she’d been careful not to confront me directly, just to maintain her good image it now, in u small village where there weren’t many people around, she probably thought that even if she

crushed me, no one would ever find out.

She stretched out her swan–like neck, and a smug smile spread across her lips. “My man, he loves me. Even if you took him away, his heart has always been with me. Even if I make him do anything, he’ll do it willingly. But you? You could grovel in front of him like a dog, and he wouldn’t even want

to look at you for a second longer!”

I replied in a rather casual tone and pointed behind her. “Are you brave enough to say that right in

front of Calix”

“What… Of course, I’m brave enough!” Cathy was so caught up in her excitement that she couldn’t

hold herself back.

By the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late. She’d blurted out everything,

Reluctantly, she turned her head, and as soon as she saw the man’s face, her mind went completely

blank.

Her body swayed unsteadily, and the man standing there had such a gloomy and cold look about him, as if he was surrounded by a thick layer of ice.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and it felt like even breathing had become a struggle.

“Calix…” She whispered, her throat feeling as if it was blocked, making it hard to get the words out Her body kept swaying, and she was on the verge of collapsing. What had she just said?

She glared at me fiercely, finally understanding what had happened. I’d deliberately provoked her into saying those things!

I pursed my lips. If she hadn’t come to pick a fight with me, she wouldn’t have fallen into this trap. Well, it was all for the best. At least now Calix could see what kind of person he was about to marry. Maybe this would be the last bit of help I could give him in my life.

I didn’t even look at Calix and just walked away. “Calix, listen to me…”

Cathy had never been this frantic before. She grabbed Calix’s hand tightly, her fingertips trembling.

“Actually…”

What was she supposed to say? The words of explanation got stuck in her throat, and she didn’t have the strength to go on. Even if she had a thousand explanations, the ugly side she’d shown him just now had already been seen. Any more explanations would probably just make Calix thunk she wa making excuses.

Calix’s intense gaze was fixed on the panicked woman in front of him. His eyes were so deep that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He’d never expected Cathy to have this kind of side to her. Sarcastic, mean, and completely inconsiderate of others…

He’d heard from Robert that she’d left alone, and he’d been worried, so he followed her. But this was

the result… It was just absurd.

Cathy had always shown only her best side to Calix. In public, she always came across as elegant, pure, and aloof, as she was above all the ordinary things in life. But just now, she’d looked like a common, vulgar street girl.

Her carefully crafted image was shattered, and it felt like she’d lost a part of herself.

She clearly saw the disgust in Calix’s eyes, and all she could think in her mind was one word:

Finished!
