Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: To Destroy A Man’s Heart (III)

"Tell me, wife. Why did you lie to me? Why did you choose him over me?" Gale asked. "Did I not show my love enough? Did I not spoil you enough? Did I not give you enough comfort in life?!"

"I never chose him over you," Swan replied. She was weak, frail, and spoke in a low voice, but her answer was firm as she truly believed what she stated just now. "I never chose him over you. You are my husband, Gale."

"Then, what is this?" Gale said as he took out the letter and gray mammoth tusk from his pocket. "If you didn’t choose him over me, then why does this letter exist?"

...

"He is my knight and my friend..."

"A friend? Hah!" Gale couldn’t help but chuckle as it sounded so ridiculous. "And what makes him so special that you choose your traitorous friend over me!?"

"Gale... I never chose him over you..." Swan repeated. "I just want to talk with my friend, but he is a fugitive, and this is the only way."

"Why do you need him as a friend? If you need a friend, then I can send as many noblewomen as possible from all kingdoms to the castle and talk with you!"

Swan clenched her blanket. She felt ashamed because she didn’t want to say this, but she had no choice, "I never had a friend growing up, Gale. I have always been alone, and Rock is my very first friend. I can’t let a precious friend go."

"You are so ridiculous, Swan," Gale sneered. "That bastard was about to rape you in the lake before, and you still think of him as a friend?!"

"He didn’t do it intentionally! It was all because of Jade’s scheme!" Swan finally let the truth out, since Jade was already dead by now. "She poisoned his drink and forced him to go into a rut. If not because of that poison, he wouldn’t dare to touch me, knowing that I am already yours!"

Gale’s gaze under his blindfold turned colder the more Swan tried to protect Rock.

"This is stupid, Swan. I don’t even know if you’re lying or not right now because only an idiot would believe the words of a man who was about to rape her back then," Gale said.

Swan wanted to defend herself but then realized Gale made it too difficult to counter his words.

After all, even Swan didn’t know why she believed Rock so easily.

"It’s just what my heart told me. My heart told me that he is telling the truth, and he is a kind man," Swan replied despite her hesitation. "He is also your right-hand man. In this castle, everyone told me that Rock was once your most trusted aide and the only one you can see as a friend. I don’t want you to regret everything after killing him, Gale. Please give him a chance."
