Chapter 21 He continued , " I know you're angry , but divorce isn't something to joke about . We're still in our honeymoon period . "" " Honeymoon ? " Adelaide sneered . " The night we got married , yesterday at noon , and last night in Amanda's room . Do you want me to go into more detail ? " Garrett instantly looked flustered . How did she know ?! Adelaide's face twisted with mockery . " Still think this isn't serious ? " Garrett realized how bad things really were and immediately dropped to his knees in front of her . " Please , let me explain . " " Don't touch me with your filthy hands ! " Adelaide slapped his hands away , her face twisted in rage and disgust . " Honey , calm down . Just let me explain ." " Explain ? " Adelaide looked down at him icily . " I gave you the benefit of the doubt the first time . What about the second ? The third ? Garrett , we've known each other for 22 years , and it's only the third day since we got married , and you've already cheated on me three times ! What more do you want to explain ? Are you going to tell me that you were drugged , threatened , or seduced ?! " If you dare use any of those excuses , you're not just a jerk but also a coward ! " Every word hit like a knife , slicing Garrett's heart open , leaving it raw and bleeding . Every excuse got stuck in his throat , and he couldn't say a single word . After a long silence , he bowed his head . " I'm sorry , honey . I won't try to justify what happened . But my heart belongs to you and only you . You're the one I've always loved . I won't divorce you . I swear I'll cut all ties with Amanda as soon as possible . I won't let her affect our marriage ." " You're shameless ."

I want to spend my life with you . " Adelaide slapped him across the face , her chest heaving with fury . " Garrett , you disgust me . You're a hypocrite . Don't you dare say your heart only belongs to me , or that you want to spend your life with me ! Don't insult the word love . " Chapter 21 Garrett turned his face aside and didn't fight back . " If slapping or yelling at me makes you feel better , then go ahead . Just don't say divorce again ." His stubbornness didn't surprise Adelaide . She knew him , after all . Whether he loved her or not , the fact remained that they had just gotten married . A quick divorce would affect his right to inheritance . Taking a deep breath , Adelaide shook her numb hand and said . coldly , " Do whatever you want . " When she stood up to leave , Garrett immediately got up and hugged her from behind . " Can't you just give me one more chance to make things right ? I swear , I haven't slept with her . " This man was more shameless than Adelaide had expected . What he and that woman had done was no different from sleeping together ! She gritted her teeth . " Let go of me ! " He held her tighter . " I won't . I know if you walk out that door , I won't be able to find you again . " " Let go ! " Chapter 21 "I won't ! " " Garrett , don't make me get violent ." " You've already slapped me once . One more won't make a difference ." Just as Adelaide raised her hand again , the apartment door suddenly opened . Spencer unexpectedly walked in . When he saw Garrett clinging to Adelaide , his face darkened . He strode forward , yanked Garrett off by the arm , and pinned the latter to the wall by the throat …
