The Silent Wife

Chapter 581 His Answer
Hearing this, Garrett suddenly snorted. He took Laney‘s hand and squeezed it. “We‘re both human, aren‘t we? What? It‘s not like
you‘re an alien or something. So why can‘t we be together?” Laney withdrew her hand and glared at him angrily. “I‘m serious,
Garrett. You know what I meant.”
“Why do I have to marry a girl from a rich family?” Garrett insisted, pinching her chin playfully. “When Ethan married Janet, she
didn‘t know she was from a rich family yet. Laney, I won‘t take that for an excuse.” But Laney shook her head stubbornly. “That‘s
different. Ethan was also just a poor man, a bastard son of the Lester family. They were equals. Later, when everyone found out
that he was also Brandon Larson, Janet was criticized and judged by everyone. The criticism didn‘t stop until she was proven to
be the daughter of the White family. But me? I am just an ordinary woman. I don‘t secretly have rich parents. In fact, I lost my
parents when I was a child, and I have nothing but my fighting skills.” 2 Throughout her career as a bodyguard, she had worked
for a lot of rich families and had witnessed how couples would fall apart due to a gap in social status. 1 “I just don‘t think this will
work. Besides, I’ve gotten used to living a carefree life. I don‘t think I can become a noble lady. It‘s just not for me.” 1 Laney‘s
reasoning took Garrett by surprise. But even he couldn‘t deny that what she said made sense. Thus, he fell silent, at a loss for
words. Because he knew that what she said was true. 4 It‘d be really difficult for them to get together. For starters, his parents
would never agree to their union. And Garrett actually had always had a good relationship with his family. If he had to choose
between his family and his love, it was unlikely he‘d recklessly pick the latter... 6 Seeing that Garrett was speechless, Laney
smiled bitterly. She knew what was on his mind. She patted on his shoulder and said softly, “Then, that‘s it. I have to go now.
Bye.”
When Laney got back home, she found Greg sitting on the sofa, waiting for her. “Laney, I can explain,” he said immediately. “I
was just scared, okay? You saw those guys! There‘s no way I could‘ve beat them.” Laney sneered and headed straight to the
bedroom. Seconds later, she came out with his luggage and threw it outside the front door. “Get out! I‘m only letting you live for
the sake of our past friendship. But don‘t you dare show your face again!” ,
