My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 3091

Chapter 3091 

Valda almost instinctively wanted to step back, but she forgot that 

there was a sofa behind her. As she stepped back, she stumbled and ended up sitting on the sofa. 

Brian finally lifted her long skirt, revealing her slightly deformed right calf that caught his eye. 

She wanted to pull up her skirt, but he was pressing down on her hand, preventing her from doing so. 

“Didn’t you show it to me before? Why… don’t you want me to see 

it now?” he asked. 

“There’s…nothing worth seeing,” Valda said, lowering her head. “Just like you said, I’ve already seen it, so why bother seeing it again?” 

“But… I want to look at it a little more.” He fixed his gaze on her right calf, and his slender fingers gently stroked the deformed area. “It’s because you wanted to protect me that you got hurt like this, right Valda? You really, really love me, don’t you?” 

“No!” She quickly denied, “I… I used to love you very much, but now I feel that this feeling is not as strong as it used to be. Also, I didn’t get hurt just to save you. At that time, I was trying to save Jasmine, and it had nothing to do with you.” 

“Are you sure it’s okay?” When he heard her say that her feelings for him were not as strong as they used to be, his heart twisted with pain. Even though he told himself that maybe it was her own insecurity, it still hurt too much. “Valda, when you saved Jasmine back then, was it because you didn’t want me to blame myself and suffer? Were you afraid that I would feel guilty towards Grace and be in unbearable pain?” 

She fell silent! Her head hung even lower, afraid to look at his expression at the moment. 

“Have you ever thought about what would happen if you weren’t here? Do you really think that I would rather you risk your life to save Jasmine?” Brian whispered. 

“That is…the best choice. If something happens to Jasmine, many people will be heartbroken. But…if something happens to me, even though everyone will be sad and upset, it won’t be too serious. It won’t be to the point where they can’t go on living,” 

Valda said in a hesitant tone. 

So she chose to face death on her own terms! 

Brian forced a bitter smile and said, “Do you really think that if 

something happened to you, no one would be heartbroken to 

the point of not being able to go on? Then what about me? What 

does my decision even matter?” 

“What does it mean? I…I don’t understand,” she stammered.
