Hubby?
Such a sweet and simple name was something that Oliver Walker had been dreaming of all these years, but now, it was like a sharp needle that pierced deep into his heart!
What did he just witness?
Emilia was wearing black stockings and sitting on the couch with a glass in her hand.
As for George Johnson, who wanted to kill Olivia earlier that day, he was bending over and sitting extremely close to Emilia.
Their actions seemed flirtatious!
Anger was slowly building up inside Oliver.
Emilia did not stay by Olivia's side. Instead, when Olivia needed her mother the most, this woman was acting like a slut and living her life in this dirty place!
He was extremely disappointed!
The entire room felt cold instantly!
"I've missed you!"
The longing and suffering that Emilia had buried deep down exploded instantly at that moment. Emilia did not care about where she was at that moment. She threw away the glass and ran toward Oliver.
At that moment, she only wanted a warm hug!
She wanted to rant about all of the pain she had inside her heart!
But, when Oliver saw Emilia who was running toward him, Oliver gave her a cold look and stepped aside.
He wasn't the one who was cruel. This woman didn't deserve it! She didn't deserve his love!
The only reason why he hadn't screamed at her was that she had once saved his life!
"You..."
Emilia froze. Her arms were still in the air about to hug him, but her beautiful face showed that she was confused and hurt.
"Why?"
She couldn't understand why this man had to be so cruel to her!
She had been grinding herself for the past 8 years. She picked up trash and lived each day horribly!
All of these were because of a promise that was made to her! She waited for 8 long years!
If it weren't for that love, she could have given up on her pride, marry someone else, and lived a normal life.
But she didn't! All of these were because of the promise that he made. He vowed that he would stay by her side for the rest of their lives as soon as he returned!
But, look what happened now?!
This man who made the promise was looking at her with disgust as if he was staring at a stranger.
She suddenly felt cold.
Perhaps...he already forgot his promise and had a new family now?
Emilia's voice turned hoarse as she asked, "Why? Why are you doing this?"
Those beautiful crescent eyes were now covered with a layer of tears. They were filled with resentment and fury.
"Why? Don't you know it yourself?"
Oliver's tone was cold and cruel!
For the past 8 years, he had been fighting on the frontline in Indiana in order to protect the country, but what did he get in return?
The woman he loved most had brought him such humiliation!
Emilia was stunned as she could see that this man despised her!
She was already feeling humiliated, and this time, with the anger built up in her, she cried, "Yes, I know now!
"You are looking down on me and my job!
"But, I am Emilia! I used to be the Goddess of Colorado! The girl that everyone envied!
"I don't have to wear such revealing clothes and pretend to be someone with no dignity!
"I don't even need all this makeup to make myself look cheap!"
The promise that kept her strong for the past 8 years was slowly falling apart. The woman's heart which seemed strong but was actually soft and weak was now falling into pieces as well!
As she faced the cold, emotionless man in front of him, she tore her heart out and cried, "But you….what right do you have to look down upon me?!
"When I was pregnant and abandoned by the world, picking up trash to make a living, where were you as my husband?
"When Olivia was sick and she needed money, where were you as her father?!
"I'm telling you this! Anyone can humiliate me or be disgusted by me!
"But not you! You don't deserve to do so!
"Huhuhuhu..."
She broke loose and cried from the bottom of her heart. All of the mental preparation she had made to ensure that she remained strong had all gone missing!
No one understood her!
No one!
Even the man she loved most!
When Oliver heard Emilia crying, his heart trembled as well!
He clenched his jaw and spoke with difficulty, "I am not a good husband nor a good father but this isn't the reason why you can abandon Olivia so that you can have a good time here in this place and betray your family!"
Had he not been responsible for the family?
That was not true!
He had been giving them 10 thousand dollars every month. No matter how harsh the situation was on the frontline, he would still transfer the money to Emilia's account each month.
It had been 8 years!
For the past 8 years, there should be millions of dollars by now! Even if she was kicked out of the company and couldn't work, she could have still kept her family in a good state
Plus, all these years, in the letters that he received from Emilia, she only asked for money.
She never mentioned their daughter's illness!
However, what he didn't know was that Emilia had not received a single amount of the money he had given!
"Of course!
"I was the one who did this to myself! I am the villain here!"
Emilia bit her lips as she felt hopeless. She no longer wanted to defend herself. Society had taught her to know better after all these years.
Oliver Walker had only returned so that she would lose all hope in life!
Where would there be fairytale-like stories in reality?
She lost!
She had lost everything!
Clap clap clap – –
Suddenly, George Johnson started clapping after enjoying the show that had been put forth in front of him.
"I was still wondering who you might be but you only turned out to be Olivia's father. The useless man whom the Goddess of Colorado saved from the streets.
"But, you are indeed a useless man. You couldn't even take good care of your wife and daughter!
He initially thought that Oliver Walker was someone huge but he didn't think that this man would turn out to be a piece of trash!
He no longer felt afraid and started speaking with a little presumptuousness in his tone.
"But since you couldn't take good care of your own wife, I have taken good care of her all these years.
"And your daughter….when she called you 'uncle', don't you feel embarrassed?
"Hahahahahahaha..."
The sharp piercing laughter coming into his ears started bringing pain to Oliver Walker's heart.
He was the Chaplain of the country but he couldn't even protect his own daughter!
In fact, the reason why Emilia ended up in this state was also because of his disappearance all these years!
But...
"Listen carefully now. I am the life savior of your family!"
Seeing how Oliver Walker wasn't saying much, George spoke even more arrogantly, "If I didn't secretly help your wife, your entire family would have starved to death.
"I am your family's savior! You have to thank me for it!
"Do you understand?!"
Emilia clenched her fist. George Johnson was indeed the devil. He only offered her this job because of her looks...
But it can't be denied that if it weren't for this job, she wouldn't have been able to support the family!
Oliver's heart felt like it was being sliced open with a knife. The anger inside of him was growing and his eyes were blood-red in color!
But George Johnson wasn't bothered about it as he continued, "Kneel before me and agree to divorce Emilia now. Then, I may pity you like how I pity a starving dog!
"Hahahahaha...
"Emilia, don't you want to save your daughter?
"Beg me for it then!
"Beg for me to marry you!
"The man you waited for 8 years. Would this man be able to help you as I do?
"Would he be able to save your daughter who has leukemia?
"Hahahaha….I am the man you need!
"For a useless man like him, forget about 8 years. Even if you gave him 80 years, he would still only be a lowly living thing!"
These words of humiliation were hurting Emilia. Her eyes were covered in tears as she looked at the man she loved, and all there was left were unlimited disappointments and resentments!
"Enough!"
Then, the veins on Oliver Walker's temples were popping as he said in a murderous tone, "You…will definitely be dead!"
