Chapter 273 Proving It To You (Part One)

"William Lan! Where are you taking me? Stop the car!" Mary shouted at the top of her lungs, pulling William's arm. "Put me down! Stop the car!" she cried out desperately.

With his hands firm on the steering wheel, William answered, "Mary, stop it. I'm driving."

Mary pierced her sharp eyes at him while wearing a grim expression on the face. "I said, stop the car! You can go anywhere you want to go! But I’m not coming with you! I don’t want to be anywhere near you at all!"

William's thin lips were pursed even more tightly. His eyes, which were now gloomy, landed on the road while he kept mum.

"Where are you taking me? Tell me!" Mary asked him again, gritting her teeth. "If you don't tell me, I'll jump out of the car!"

"Mary!" Now, she caught his attention. For a second, William glanced at her with an evident pained expression. "You don't want to stay with me even for one minute? Have you forgotten how happy we were before?"

Meanwhile, William just clenched his fists and didn't say anything, even though he felt his heart being ripped apart.

"Here we are," he uttered after a moment of silence and settled Mary on the ground.

She pushed away William immediately to keep a safe distance from him.

"Mary," he called, looking at the tombstone in front of him. "This is Sansa's tomb."

Glancing at the new flowers and fresh fruits beside the stone, Mary asked, "Did you come here on the night of the award ceremony?"

"Mary…"

"Archer said you were going to present me the award in person," she continued with a bitter smile. "But then you disappeared that night without any word."
