Chapter 438: Mr. Foley with a Twisted Mind "And besides, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, so stay out of my business!" Her final words echoed loudly, serving as a warning.
Kelvin felt a heavy weight in his heart, shattering into pieces because of her last statement: "Stay out of my business." The thought of Cheyenne marrying another man brought about a tearing pain in his chest. This was what heartache felt like. Was this the feeling one experienced after being hurt? Leaving her on their wedding night to fly abroad was his mistake. At that time, he wasn't aware of his love for Cheyenne. It was rushed, and he didn't have a chance to explain.
Kelvin returned from abroad without any explanation... he thought it wasn't necessary, as they would eventually divorce.
Now, looking back, he wanted to slap himself for his actions.
Back in his seat, Kelvin desperately wanted to explain, but Cheyenne no longer needed to know.
"Cheyenne, what happened on our wedding night was my fault," he said.
"Oh," she replied casually, continuing to play with her phone, her fair hands sliding across the screen.
Kelvin couldn't accept this. He continued, “The nanny who took care of Abbie called to informthat she had fainted and was hospitalized, needing surgery. She had no parents and was all alone abroad, so I went to visit her." The woman in front of him, with a slight smile on her lips, continued to scroll through her phone without even glancing up.
With a clear voice, filled with the scoldness that he exhibited, she said, "Mr. Foley, these things don't matter anymore. I don't want to hear about how you took care of your first love and traveled around Western Enofone with her. I've seen the travel photos, matching couples with beautiful scenery, quite impressive." "What travel photos?" Confusion appeared in Kelvin's eyes. After visiting Abbie in the hospital, he had been busy with the affairs of the overseas branch.
At most, he picked her up when she was discharged and she mentioned wanting to eat stir-fried pasta.

After finishing his work abroad, he had to return hthe next morning.
He left for Shada City on a business trip as soon as he returned and was gone for two months...
He didn't want to face Cheyenne and didn't even inform his grandfather about the business trip.
As for Abbie, she suddenly announced her resignation a month after being discharged. How could he have had tto travel with her in such a tight schedule? His confusion and perplexity seemed like acting to Cheyenne. She finally looked up at him, her almond eyes filled with frost.
Cheyenne opened her photo album, found the album from three years ago, and found the photos that Abbie had sent her, presenting them to Kelvin.
In front of a bridge, behind them stood the famous Frul Cathedral.
The classical architecture of the Renaissance, still a must-visit tourist spot in the area.
Three years had passed, and the photos had smagnetization, but one could still clearly see a man and a woman embracing by the bridge. Under the sunlight, they looked like a prince and princess from a fairytale. Abbie's smile was so blissful that it was almost blinding.
Cheyenne took her phone back and deleted the photos in front of him, laughing self-mockingly.
Her mocking smile pierced his heart.
"Even though I felt heartache, I still kept this photo. Because it was the first tI saw you smile... Every tI saw you, you had a face full of impatience, even when we took wedding photos or kissed in front of the priest, you had a frown," she said.
Kelvin guiltily lowered his deep-set eyes, and the large hands under his suit sleeves were already cold and sweaty.
He watched Cheyenne delete the photos, her actions quick, as if relieved from a burden.
It felt like something was slipping away... getting further and further away from him.
She wasn't deleting just the photos, but also his past memories, just as she had said. Was Cheyenne starting to search for another source of support? No! Kelvin's heart began to panic. He could explain all of this... he just needed stto make it up to her. Things wouldn't be the sas before.
"Cheyenne, this photo isn't what you think. At that time, she said she felt nauseous from the car and wanted to get out and get sfresh air. So, I walked with her by the lake, and by chance, we saw a little girl crying because her balloon flew away. That's why I smiled,” Kelvin said.
Kelvin had never thought about getting married before, let alone having a child in the future.
But when he saw that delicate little girl, looking like a doll and barely reaching his knee, crying because her balloon flew away, a thought of having a daughter flashed through his mind.
Even though Cheyenne wasn't his ideal type, too enchanting and giving off the impression of restlessness, Kelvin had to admit that she had flawless looks.
He and their daughter would definitely be as cute and exquisite as that little girl.
For a fleeting moment, a smile of happiness appeared on his face, without him even realizing it.

The photo showed him holding Abbie's waist, but it was a huge misunderstanding. She was standing perfectly fine when she suddenly tripped, and Kelvin, being a gentleman, just helped her in time.
He let go within a second. The photo was taken from a bystander's perspective, and the only person present was Chris.
Kelvin was sure that Chris didn't take the photo.
His assistant, being a typical unromantic guy, rarely took pictures.
Therefore... the photo was deliberately taken by Abbie, and her “fall” had hidden intentions.
He didn't notice it, nor did he care about this small incident.
It becan advantageous weapon for Abbie to use against Cheyenne, as hardly any woman in this world would accept their newlywed husband abandoning them to spend twith another woman. Cheyenne listened to his three-year-delayed explanation with a serious expression, her gaze calm, making Kelvin feel uneasy. This was really astonishing - rhe CEO of the Foley Group, a man of power, felt uneasy because of such a trivial matter.
Deep down, he hoped that Cheyenne would believe his explanation, even though it sounded far-fetched... but it was the truth.
Who knew that after how long it was, she uttered a sentence without m rhor reason: "You're really twisted in the head. How can you laugh when you see a baby cry?" Kelvin was rendered speechless.
Was that the main point?
