Chapter 730
John did not seem to expect that she would ask this question. He was stunned for a few seconds before he snapped
out of shock.
"Are you afraid to answer?'
John looked at her firmly. "Will you believe me if I say I didn’t?"
After staring at him for a long time, Olivia smiled and shook her head. "No."
She pointed to the beach and said, "It was here that Dorothy pushed me into the sea. You ran past me and saved
Dorothy. You told me that she was pregnant and had your child."
Then, she smiled bitterly. "Later, in the hospital, you hit me, scolded me, and asked me how I was going to
compensate for the loss of your child."
She licked her lips and looked at John again. "That's the anger only a dad would show when he lost his child."
John stared at her, knowing it was pointless explaining.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had done all those things.
Every single one, and every single moment. John remembered everything.
These four years, he would like to forget those moments he hurt her. However, the memories were buried deep in
his mind, and he could never erase them.
He even remembered that she could not swim.
However, he only focused on torturing her back then and did all that on purpose.
In the end, he tortured her and broke her heart into pieces. At the same time, he had placed himself at a dead end.
"Liv," John bit his lips. "I didn't sleep with her. She lied to me."
"John, you are not a fool. Why would you believe whatever lie she told you?"
"One time, I got drunk because of you..."
John rumbled his fingers through his hair and said with regret. "I wanted to piss you off. So, I didn't call you, and I
don't know where Wes was that day. Dorothy happened to see me and seized the moment. She took me to the
hotel and booked a room for the night..."
He could not continue what happened next. Clutching his hair, he said angrily, "She set me up! It’s like she has set
you up. We’ve all been set up by her!"
Rationally, Olivia believed him.
It was because Dorothy had set traps for her too. Thus, she knew Dorothy was capable of doing that.
However, emotionally, she refused to believe it.
Men and women were different. She knew she had not done anything like that, but she could not be sure that John
was innocent.
Olivia looked at him and smiled. She opened the car door and headed out. After bending down and removing her
shoes, she walked barefoot on the sand.
She had come to this beach many, many times. However, each time her mood was very different.
Now she was somewhat relieved.
She had even let go of some of her hatred for John.
However, she had let go the seventeen years of love at the same time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe did not know why. It was as if she suddenly stopped loving him, completely that even her obsession for him was
gone.
John caught up and grabbed her. "Liv, believe me, I never touched her. I have no interest in women besides you."
"John, if you had told me that four years ago, I would have believed and forgiven you."
Then, she sighed and emphasized each word she spoke. "Four years ago, I loved you so much. Even if it weren't
true, I would have believed anything you said."
She shook off his hand and smiled. "However, things don't go your way. Things change."
"Liv..."
"Actually, this problem has troubled me for many years. When I love you, I don't want to admit that you touched
Dorothy, but I saw so much proof, and I can’t convince myself to believe you are innocent. As time goes by, it
became an obsession."
She smoothed her hair, disheveled by the sea breeze, and smiled. "Thank you, John, for letting me know the
problem I have been struggling with for four years. Now, I am finally getting over it." 'Getting over it?'
John froze and felt the heartbreak deep down, taking away his breath.
