Chapter 192 His Embrace (Part One)

Mary tucked the two kids in the bed early. The three men stayed in the room next door. She was not sure if they had already gone to sleep.

Mary was not able to recover from her grief and her sleepiness had worn off.

She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time. Eventually, she gave up. She put on her coat and walked to the balcony.

When she walked to the balcony, she smelled a whiff of cigarette. She turned her head and saw William leaning against the wall of his balcony while smoking.

In his index finger and middle finger on his right hand was a cigarette stick. His eyes were half-closed as if in a daze and his expression was quite misty.

"Ahem."

Mary could not stand the smell of smoke and coughed.

William's eyes twitched when he heard her. He turned around and quickly stubbed the cigarette that he was holding. "Mary?" said William.

"Yes." Mary nodded and said, "I'm sorry for interrupting."

"It's nothing. Why are you still up?" William took a few steps forward and continued, "It's already one o'clock."

"I know. I just can't fall asleep." Mary smiled awkwardly.

The two stood on their

ou," William said nervously. "I love you, Mary. No matter what, I love you."

All of a sudden, Mary stopped crying. Although her nose was blocked due to crying, she seemed to be able to get a whiff of William's tobacco.

"Even if you hate me, I won't let you go." His voice sounded above her head. "Mary, I want to be with you, always and forever. I will make it up to you with all my life."

At this moment, Mary could not tell how she felt. But one thing was clear: her heart ached.

"During the past four years without you, I felt like I was in a daze," said William, holding her in his arms. "I used all my connections but I couldn't find you anywhere. You have no idea how desperate I was when I saw the divorce agreement.

You were everywhere in my mind. Your words and actions were in my mind over and over again. I hated myself for losing you.

Thinking of how disappointed you were with me that you chose to leave without even saying goodbye, I wished I could beat myself to death. Every day and every night, I dreamed of you leaving me and that you cried and blamed me. I didn't even have a chance to say sorry.
