All Chapters of Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

"Is that your answer?" Carson uttered, his voice filled with sorrow that was barely noticeable by others.She did not know what to say. Austin did not give her the time to react before grabbing her by the shoulder to bring her towards the car parked on the other side, where Annie was already waiting."Everly, what happened to you?"Everly heard Annie's surprised voice, but she remained dazed. She could not forget the moment that she struggled out of Carson's hold and the despair she saw in his eyes.She was devastated."Not now. Let's get in the car," Austin said."Oh, okay!" Annie responded and immediately helped Everly into the backseat of the car while Austin circled back to the front to drive.The sky turned gray, and clouds began to gather.Lightning tore through the sky, followed by the rumbling noises of thunder.The cold rain fell and landed on the car's window. As soon as they turned on the heater inside the car, the car windows were instantly covered by mist.Everly

All the pain, the excruciating pain. All the blood and close-to-death experience could not erase him from her heart.For the past year, she had lied and told herself countless times that she thought that she really did not love him anymore.She told herself over and over again that a man as selfish as Carson was not worth her love. She told herself that he loved no one but himself. His affection was only for show. She had fallen for it once, and she could not fall for it again.She truly thought that she did not love him anymore to the point that she almost fooled herself.Had it not been for this encounter, had she not returned to the country; if only she did not learn about the past and allowed herself to indulge in his affection….Without those flower pots that came falling upon her, she would never have realized that she had been surrounded by her own lies.She felt as though she had been in a dream where she did not love him. However, when she woke up alone and gazed up at t

However, Austin agreed to the Logans' plan back in Strandia. If Austin truly had romantic feelings towards her, why would he agree to their plan?Everly shook her head and told herself to stop overthinking. Austin treated her as a friend and took her away out of pity for her."You are shaking your head? What does that mean? You don't agree with me?" Austin could no longer think properly and could only read her by her expression.Austin's mind was filled with only one thought, 'If Everly intended on getting back together with Carson, then he would have to let go of her.'He took the tablet over again and pointed at it. "Haven't you seen him for what he truly is? Everly, what have the two of you been doing during the days I was gone?"He stared at her, red-eyed, and shouted, "What did he do that got you all wrapped around his fingers?"Everly stared at the video that was on replay and closed her eyes before whispering, "Austin, will you let me be alone for a while?"She needed tim

Everly understood that Annie was trying to enliven the mood, but there was no possible way she could do so with Austin standing beside her wordlessly. Everly also understood that Austin had helped her on countless occasions and that his feelings must be hurt for being mistaken with Carson when she woke up just now.It was inevitable.Everly opened her eyes and looked at Austin. Without any words, both Austin and her knew what this meant."You are weak right now and I don't want to get angry at you." Austin said while staring at her, "But I hope that you think it through. There are decisions that you can't reverse once they are made."Everly lowered her gaze and nodded. "I understand. Austin… thank you, for everything so far."She paused for a moment to steady herself from the dizziness and continued, "I know you mean well, but my thoughts are all over the place right now… I want to think about everything, so give me some time, okay?"Austin stared for a while until finally noddi

"She hates you!" Austin shouted, "She doesn't even want to have anything to do with you! Do you think that she came back to look for you? You are wrong! She only wants Oliver's custody! She doesn't think anything of you! She remembers all details about how you have hurt her, and no matter what you try, you won't be able to heal your wounds! You will never understand the pain she has suffered through, so there's no hope for you ever to be forgiven by her!"Austin stared at Carson, red-eyed as memories of how Everly behaved earlier appeared in his mind. Instantly, it felt as though his heart was set aflame.'Why? How could she still love Carson after all the things he did to hurt her? What about me, then? Can she not see all the things I've done for her so far? Why doesn't she love me? Am I not worth it?' he thought.Carson was still drinking the liquor, one glass after another, with no apparent change to his expression, while Austin was enraged. He reached out and snatched the glass
