Too Late He Wanted Me Back Chapter 20
She had said everything that needed to be said, and Seraphina could not be bothered to waste another word on Jaylen. She directly told him to leave: “Jaylen, in five years of marriage, I believe I fulfilled every duty of a wife. I owe you nothing.”
“So now please leave. For the rest of my life, I never want to see you again.”
Jaylen knew that as he was now, he no longer had any right to beg Seraphina for forgiveness.
But he did not want to give up just like that. In this lifetime, he had only ever loved two people: one was the foolish little Cyenne of his imagination, and the other was Seraphina.
The foolish little girl in his imagination did not exist, but Seraphina was real.
How could he possibly bear to let her go?
“Sera, I know doing this may make you hate me, but I have already been driven into a dead end, so if you hate me, then hate me,” Jaylen said through clenched teeth. “As long as I can keep you by my side, I am willing to let you hate me.”
After saying that, Jaylen suddenly took out his phone and showed Seraphina a photo.
The moment Seraphina saw that photo, she froze.
The photo was of Santino’s tombstone.
Before Seraphina could recover, Jaylen suddenly stepped forward. In a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, he whispered into her ear, “Sera, I am giving you 3 days. Go apply to your superiors to withdraw from the Lunar Ladder Project. Otherwise, I will destroy Tino’s tombstone and make sure he cannot rest in peace even after death!”
Seraphina’s eyes nearly split with rage. “Jaylen, are you even human? Tino is your own flesh and blood!”
“If not being human can win you back, then I am willing to stop being human,” Jaylen said with a bitter smile. “Sera, give me one more chance. Without you, I really will go insane.”
After that, he gently kissed Seraphina, then smiled and let her go.
“Commander-in-chief, I have finished touring the base. Please escort me out now,” Jaylen said. “Don’t worry. I will also transfer the remaining hundreds of billions on time to the base to support the nation’s development.”
Afterward, Jaylen was escorted out of the base by the military department again.
He left with easy grace, but he caused Seraphina to go 3 full days without sleep.
Seraphina would rather die than return to the Canyer family, but Santino’s ashes were still with the Canyer family…
Her son had left this world at such a young age. As his mother, Seraphina had already been consumed with guilt. How could she possibly stand by and watch Jaylen desecrate Santino’s ashes?
So after enduring 3 days and 3 nights, Seraphina finally submitted her resignation request to her superiors.
Her superiors naturally refused. This was, after all, a state-level confidential project. How could anyone come and go as they pleased?
But Jaylen kept pouring money into it behind the scenes. He invested several more hundreds of billions of dollars into the base, and at last the person in overall charge of the base relented and allowed Seraphina to go home.
Jaylen was beside himself with excitement. He had thought that after bringing Seraphina back this time, he and Seraphina would be able to start over.
But unexpectedly, the moment he returned to the Canyer family with Seraphina, his grandfather Garrett Canyer summoned him to the family chapel and made him kneel as punishment.
“Jaylen, do you know that Cyenne’s mad ravings have already spread all over the internet?” Garrett said furiously. “Now the entire internet is cursing you, saying that for the sake of your mistress, you personally caused your own son’s death!”
Jaylen froze instantly. During this time, he had been so focused on searching for Seraphina that he had not paid any attention at all to the news online.
So he had absolutely no idea that the outrageous things Cyenne had said in the hospital had long since spread everywhere online.
