The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 730

A surge of annoyance bubbled inside Garrett but he suppressed it. Kailee still had the photos in her hands. “What do you want?” he asked despite his unwillingness.

Kailee lowered her gaze, hiding the shrewd glint that flashed in her eyes. She spoke softly. “I’d like one last date with you, to make up for our past regrets.”

“I have no regrets about you,” Garrett refused without hesitation.

Tears welled up in Kailee’s eyes once more. “When we broke up and I left for abroad, you didn’t even come to see me off. Your mother was the only one who showed up. We never had a proper closure and that always made me regretful. Maybe that’s why I can’t forget you.”

Garrett steadily gazed at Kailee for a few seconds.

After some time, he closed his eyes. His voice was weary as he said, Alright, I promise.

He thought that perhaps this was the only way to completely get rid of Kailee’s entanglement. “Really?” Kailee expectantly looked up at Garrett. Her face instantly lit up as she let out a joyous smile.

With an expressionless look, Garrett replied, “Only this once, though. After this is over, you must delete the photo and never mention this to anyone-especially not Laney.”

“Okay.” Kailee nodded.

Now that Garrett agreed to go on a date with her, Kailee’s plan was halfway to success. She didn’t care who would find out about the photo. She figured that the more people would know about it, the chances of her marrying into the Harding family would be significantly higher. After getting a positive response from Kailee, Garrett pressed his lips into a thin line. He didn’t want to stay there for another second. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Kailee suddenly called out to him.

“Garrett!” Kailee exclaimed, looking a bit forlorn. “Was there a part of you that felt like you married Laney out of sympathy?” Garrett abruptly stopped in his tracks. He recalled the complex emotions that he felt upon learning about Laney’s pregnancy. He felt a mix of joy and pity. He pitied Laney for being an orphan and enduring so much during her childhood only to become a bodyguard. If he didn’t take responsibility, what would happen to her?
