Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF)
Chapter 103

Chapter 103 She was lying to you from start to finish!

Saying this, she completely collapsed into Walter's arms, sobbing. Her crying was so heart-wrenching that it could melt anyone's heart.

Walter patted her back soothingly, his voice a bit hoarse as he said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."

The guests who had come to congratulate the Hinton family heard the commotion and gathered around at that moment. For a while, they all silently watched the two people tightly embracing each other, staring in astonishment at the couple who had fallen into the water.

Meanwhile, some people also began to whisper.

"Wasn't that the eldest daughter of the Conner family? How did she become so intimate with the young master of the Hinton family? How did they end up in each other's arms?"

"Yeah, Mrs. Hinton was still standing by, wasn't she?"

Walter also heard the surrounding discussions. He picked up Ashley, ready to take her away from here.

However, as I walked past, Ashley suddenly grabbed me, her eyes blazing red, glaring at me. She looked pitiful and helpless, yet defiant.

Walter halted, looking at her gripping my hand, and said with a slight frown, "Ashley, let go!"

At that moment, Ashley was staring at me with red eyes, like a stubborn child, and said, "I won't!"

Walter pursed his lips, attempting to forcibly pry her hand open.

Instead, she gripped me even tighter. Seeing Walter about to pry her hand off, she suddenly yelled at me, "Tabatha, how much longer are you going to deceive Walter? Do you think you can fool Walter by drowning me? Can you deceive him for a lifetime?"

Walter froze, his handsome brows furrowing even tighter.

His dark eyes glanced at me, then turned to Ashley, and he asked, "Lie?"

Ashley's eyes reddened even more as she nodded, "Yes, Walter, Tabatha has been lying to you all along. She was never pregnant. She lied to you, she's been lying to you from the very beginning!" Ashley's words, like a heavy stone suddenly thrown into calm lake water, completely shattered the originally peaceful surface of the lake.

Walter's face froze, his eyes as black as ink, looked at me, hesitatingly asked, "You're not pregnant?"

Looking into his dark eyes, I felt as if a needle was piercing my heart. I clenched my fists tightly, my throat ached a bit, and for some reason, I found myself unable to speak.

Ashley's voice was sharp as she pulled me aside, "Tabatha, speak up. Now, in front of Walter, tell him yourself, are you pregnant or not? Is there his child in your belly?"

Seeing that I didn't speak, she let out a cold laugh, "You don't dare to say it, you don't dare to tell him, you're not pregnant at all. How could you deceive Walter like this, letting him celebrate for nothing? You know how much he was looking forward to having a child, but you lied to him. Tabatha, where is your heart?"

I pursed my lips, suppressing the discomfort in my heart, and gave Ashley a cold glance. Lowering my voice, I said, "Shut up."

Then, looking at Walter, whose face had darkened to the extreme, he began to speak, "I lied to you before, I'm sorry, but..."

"What's going on? What happened?" My words were cut off as a path was cleared in the crowd, and Dale came over, supporting Carley.

For a moment, everyone turned to look at her. Dale, supporting Carley, entered the pavilion and saw that Walter and Ashley were completely drenched and in a sorry state, his expression slightly darkened. She glanced at Ashley nestled in Walter's arms, frowning at Dale, "Where's Odin? Have him help Ms. Conner back to the warm room, and get a doctor to check if she's hurt anywhere."

Dale quickly called out to Odin, who arrived earlier than Carley. Upon hearing Carley's words, he stood next to Walter, watching the two people huddled together. He could only look at Walter and say, "Mr. Hinton, let me take Ms. Conner back to her room!"

Just as Walter had let go of Ashley, she clung tightly to him, her whole body tense. Her eyes were red and she looked at Walter with a pitiful and helpless expression, pleading, "Walter, don't, I'm scared..." Walter withdrew his icy gaze from me, looking at Odin and said, "I'll take her."

After speaking, he was about to pick up Ashley, but Ashley was still clinging to me, screaming hoarsely, "Walter, you can't let her go. She deceived you and wants to kill me, kill the child in my belly. You can't let her go."
