Chapter 1530
Chloe bit her lip, fell silent for a moment, then slowly asked, “Why did you choose to live here?”
Jonah was silent for a long time before he sighed again, “I wanted to make amends with the rest of my life.”
Chloe looked at him indifferently, “Can you ever truly make up for it?”
Everyone had made mistakes, including herself. But she had never thought about making amends because she
didn’t regret anything she had been through, or any decision she made.
Because even if she had to do it all over again, she would still make the same choices. She wasn’t religious, but she
believed everyone was guilty. What was done was done, and a mistake was a mistake. You needed to pay the price
for your mistakes, you can’t just make amends and repent to make things right.
Making amends? It was just a way to ease your own conscience.d2
Jonah shook his head, “I can’t fully make up for it. I just hope to trade it for some prayers, hoping that you could
have a better life.”
Chloe smiled slightly, “Pray for me?”
“Besides this, I don’t know what else I can do for you. Whether you accept it or not, it’s just how I feel, it doesn’t
concern anyone else.”
Chloe nodded, looking down at the sutra not far away, and fell silent for a moment. “I came here today to ask you
one question.”

“Why do you indulge Carolina so much?”
Jonah frowned, “Why do you ask?”
Chloe looked straight at him, her voice cold, “Don’t tell me it’s because she’s your wife, and you’ve spent a lifetime
with her, so it’s only natural to love and spoil her. I can’t interfere with that, but as I’ve said before, this isn’t
spoiling, it’s indulging.”
As she spoke, she glanced around the simple courtyard and sneered. “This so–called amends you’re making, is it
for yourself or for her?”
Jonah’s calm expression finally changed slightly, Chloe’s words made him uncomfortable.
Chloe looked at him, and her eyes slightly narrowed. “All these years, I at least knew you used to be a man of
principles. Your peers didn’t have any complaints about you. The only thing they find strange is your attitude
towards Carolina. They all said that you didn’t seem to be spoiling her, but rather, like she had something on you, or
you felt guilty towards her.”
Jonah lifted his eyes and looked at her suddenly, “Do you have any speculations?” His tone was guarded.
Chloe smiled. She was right. “I don’t know about your past. So I don’t know what you did back then that made
Carolina control you to this extent. If you want me to speculate, then I’ll give it a shot.”
Chloe spoke calmly, staring at the pink furry set of gloves on her hands and raising the corners of her mouth slightly
into a cold smile. “If this man has a shred of conscience, he should know that the most guilt–inducing thing a man
can do to a woman is be unfaithful. And the most guilt–inducing thing a husband can do to his wife is to cheat,
betraying his wife and family.”
Jonah’s face finally showed agitation; he couldn’t keep calm anymore.
Chloe sneered in her heart, feeling disappointed in Jonah’s character. She had experienced too many betrayals.
Lance and Keira had been having an affair behind her back, which in her view, was disgusting and filthy. Wasn’t
loyalty to a relationship a principle and bottom line everyone should have? If a man can’t even do this, how can he
earn the respect of others?
The little respect Chloe had left for Jonah in her heart plummeted once again.
“Let me continue.” Chloe clasped her hands together, looked straight at Jonah, her eyes cold. “The pinnacle of a
husband’s secret adultery is a peaceful family at home and a mistress outside, and if this mistress has a child,
wouldn’t that make life. even more perfect?”
Jonah lowered his head. It was hard to see his expression, but his arms were clearly trembling. Rose and Yulia
looked shocked. And Rose, who often visited the Summers family, seemed even more incredulous. “You…” She
never thought that
the man who was always kind and loving when she was a child would do such a thing. She didn’t see it coming at
all; he didn’t seem like the kind of person who would betray his family.
In Rose’s eyes, what did Jonah’s infidelity look like? It was as unbelievable as a monk suddenly having a son. It took
her a while to regain her senses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No, Chloe, Jonah wouldn’t do things like that, would he? You’re just guessing randomly, don’t misunderstand
Jonah.” Chloe’s smile remained cold. She released her tightly clasped hands, propped herself up on the table, and
slowly stood up, never taking her eyes off Jonah. “I also find it hard to believe. So many things happened back then,
but I never really thought about them. Back then, these doubts in my heart tried to grow, but I ignored them.
Because I just didn’t want to believe, or dare to think that you could be that kind of person. Even though you didn’t
really help me much back then, when everyone else was ignoring me, you were a comfort to me. I didn’t want to
destroy the only good thing in my heart. I didn’t think about it, and I didn’t want to think about it. As long as you
were my grandfather, that was enough.”
Jonah looked up at Chloe, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t. Chloe looked at him
condescendingly, coldly and sadly. “Just like today, if what I suspect is true, then the grandfather in my heart no
longer
exists.”
“Chloe…” Rose could hear the disappointment and sadness in Chloe’s words, and couldn’t help but softly call her
name.
Chloe’s eyes started to well up, but she ignored what Rose had said. Staring at Jonah, she blurted out, “So all these
years, my only respected grandpa, turns out to be the big bad wolf. You felt guilty about Carolina, so you used my
life to make it up to her, right? She can do whatever she wants, and you’ll just let her, even if it means sacrificing
me?”
