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.b2 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.

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."

"Go ahead." Jonah said indifferently.

"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 aman 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.

"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?"
