Chapter 299

Winford affectionately said, “Seeing Lia happy, if Lia doesn’t want to forgive her, then let her kneel there forever.” The words made Bessie sway unsteadily. Samuel and Erin immediately looked at Ophelia nervously, waiting for her answer.

“Ophelia, Bessie knelt down to you, so you forgave her!”

Ophelia ignored them. She stared at Bessie on the ground, thought for a moment, and smiled. “Well then, I accept your apology.” The Greene family of three instantly felt a sense of relief.

Ophelia then spoke leisurely, “However, let’s just forget about forgiveness.”

“What?!” Samuel and Erin’s faces stiffened. Bessie suddenly looked up.

“Didn’t you hear clearly?” Ophelia looked puzzled and tilted her head. “I said I wouldn’t forgive. Is there a problem?”

There were problems! How could there be no problems! Erin suppressed her anger and said, “Bessie even knelt down to you!”

Ophelia spoke lightly, “Just because I said she knelt down, does that mean I have to forgive her?” She looked at the disheveled Bessie on the ground, her smile carrying a hint of coldness and malice. “She did so many things she shouldn’t have done; isn’t an apology expected? As for kneeling, you all just said that it was her own desire to show her sincerity. There’s no reason that just because she knelt, I have to forgive her!”

“However, I was still very kind. Although I did not forgive her, I did not want her to keep kneeling here.” Kneeling at her house all the time—how annoying was it?

“Alright, you could go now!”

Erin was furious and immediately looked at Winford. “Mr. Winford—”

Winford said in a light tone, “What Lia said is what I said. Graham, see the guests out!”

Graham immediately brought people forward and “invited” the angry and unwilling Greene family to leave! After the family of three disappeared from sight, the smile on Ophelia’s lips immediately faded.

“Was it very sad?” Suddenly, Winford’s voice sounded in her ears. Ophelia turned her head and saw the pity and heartache reflected in his deep eyes. She felt a pang in her heart, turned her head to hug him, and rubbed her head against his chest, saying, “Not at all, they aren’t worth my sadness!”

She had long stopped considering Samuel as her father; she had just again encountered his indifference and felt a sense of unexplainable emotions. Winford held his little wife in his arms, gently stroking her smooth hair, and thoughtfully said, “If Lia wanted a family…”

“I don’t want that at all,” Ophelia interrupted him, looking up and wrapping her arms around his neck. “Even though my mom is no longer here, I have a husband now. My husband is my lover and also my family, so I don’t need any other family!”

“Moreover, I also had a cousin. You had seen Nora and knew that we had a very good relationship. She treated me like a real sister, and I treated her like a real sister too.”

“I had enough with you.” As for the other people on her grandfather’s side, they probably still weren’t willing to forgive her at that time, and he should have known about this situation, so it was best not to mention them for now.

Winford’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he gradually exerted strength, holding his wife tightly in his arms, remaining silent for a long time. The sincere words of his little wife certainly made him happy, but more than that, they made him uneasy. She had trusted him wholeheartedly like this, so what would she do when he was no longer there?
