Chapter40 Seeing the situation , Garrett gave a sarcastic smile and said , " Okay , then go ahead and die for me ." Amanda couldn't believe her ears . Jeanette was furious : " Garrett , what are you talking about ! Don't you know Amanda can't handle stress ! " Almost at the same time , Cornelius angrily slapped him and said , " Look at what you've done , still dare to talk nonsense here ! You almost caused a tragedy , you don't even have ten lives to spare ! " Evelyn just covered her mouth , turned her face away , and cried quietly . Amanda was still there begging for him : " Sir Barnard , please don't hit Garrett , don't hit him . " Garrett , who was beaten , stood there motionless , his face as cold and hard as ice . He just lifted his eyelids slightly to look at Adelaide , with only guilt and discomfort in his eyes . Adelaide hated how he was still pretending to be innocent at this moment , she coldly looked away and reminded Amanda , " Amanda , Madam Barnard has a heart condition , can't handle any excitement or shock . If you want to solve this properly , then put the pieces down . Don't let it end in a mess , we'll have to come back here multiple times to solve the problem like tonight ." He heard her still thinking about herself , Evelyn felt sorry and regretful . Adelaide also grew up in front of them , the Barnard family didn't care about family background , only cared about character . So they really liked Adelaide marrying into the Barnard family , who would have thought such embarrassing things would happen . The moment she realized her son had let Adelaide down , she couldn't help but slap him and say , " You're such a fool ! " Amanda hated Adelaide's guts , and to make matters worse , Cornelius and Evelyn were still sticking up for her . While she was distracted , Finley took the fragments from her hand . " You're being ridiculous ! " Amanda was stunned , then immediately hugged her mother , crying sadly , " Waaah , Mom , I didn't really want to die . I just couldn't bear to leave Garrett , I don't want to lose Garrett ." Looking at the bustling scene , Adelaide's heart was already aching . She was feeling upset too , but she had to pretend to be calm and Chapter40 composed at this moment . Her nails had long been digging into her palms , she said , " Garrett , you probably haven't forgotten the day she cut her wrist . You waited for me to fall asleep before coming over to lie next to her and stayed with her all night . When she hurt her forehead , you were the one who rushed to hold her and take her back to the room ." " Maybe Amanda was right , you do have feelings for her . Since you care about her so much , it's not right to break you two up . Both sets of parents are here now , we are all adults , so let's not act childish anymore , let's part on good terms . " These words were like knives , slowly cutting open Garrett's heart . What Adelaide said seemed like he only heard a few words . He stiffly raised his right hand , pointing back at himself , " You think I … childish ? " Adelaide raised her eyebrows , " You promised me countless times in the past few days that you would change , Garrett , let me give you a chance . But then you turn around and act lovey- dovey with her . Your behavior of wanting both is not only childish but also despicable ." Garrett's throat felt like it was being strangled , couldn't say a word . He used to be the most perfect beloved person in her eyes in Chapter40 Adelaide , but now he has become the most detestable person to her.
