He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 432

"If only I knew you’d end up like this, I would cancel our marriage back then," Dahlia said. "You bring nothing but pain and suffering to the family that I love, Marlon Grant."

Dahlia’s words were proven to be too much for Marlon. His breath began to get disordered, and he looked pale.

"D—Dahlia, I—I have been thinking about my days, and I realized that I’m already old and sickly," Marlon said. "I can’t function well out of my bed now, and I keep wishing you could be here with me. So please..."

"Please come home and spend our twilight days together. I don’t want to die alone, please..." Marlon kept on begging, wishing one of his efforts would be able to gain Dahlia’s sympathy.

"So you will be able to plot an assassination on me again?"

"No, I—"Marlon shook his head desperately, even though Dahlia couldn’t see him right now. He was washed away by his emotions, which rarely happened.

But listening to Dahlia’s voice made him realize that all he truly wanted right now was to be with his loved one.

He wanted Dahlia to sleep next to him, and they could talk about anything that they wanted, something that had been lost after Marlon cheated on Dahlia back then.

He wanted the good old days when they were still very much in love and felt like he was in heaven every day.

He didn’t even mind retiring completely and did nothing for the rest of his elderly days as long as he could be with Dahlia right now.

"I will abandon everything for you, Dahlia. I will pull all of my subordinates from New York. I will stop trying to sabotage Henry’s company. I will stop everything!" Marlon said. "So please, please come back so we can start anew."

"But will you accept Katherine as your daughter-in-law?" Dahlia asked the million-dollar question. "If you can’t accept her as your daughter-in-law, there is no point, Marlon."

"That—"Marlon choked on his saliva. He imagined that woman who had ruined James and Henry’s chance to be great people. That succubus was the source of all evil for their family!

Dahlia sighed, sensing the hesitation in Marlon’s voice, "As expected, you won’t accept Kate. You don’t like her, even though she is the perfect wife for either James or Henry. They both fell in love with her for a reason."

"It’s because she’s a succubus! A witch! A whore who has no shame! She will ruin our family!" Marlon yelled. "Anything but that. I will do anything but to accept her!"

"Unfortunately, that is the most important thing I want you to accept," Dahlia said. "What’s the point of reuniting when we can’t make our son happy? You are selfish, Marlon."

"S—Selfish?!" Marlon was astonished. "How am I selfish? I’ve been sacrificing everything so our family can get better! I’ve dedicated my life to our family! I’m not selfish at all!"

"Everything you do is based on your own desire. You don’t give a damn about any of us," Dahlia said. "So I’m not going to return to you until you accept Katherine to our family."

"Katherine..." Marlon gritted his teeth when that name was mentioned again. He was fuming because Kate had been ruining his life.

That bitch manipulated Henry, James, and now, Dahlia! That bitch stole everyone from him!

"Sarah told me everything about that bitch, Dahlia. She has tricked all of you. She is a manipulative succubus that just wants our family’s money!" Marlon yelled.

"Sarah? Do you still believe that snake after everything that she has done?" Dahlia couldn’t help but chuckle because she found Marlon ridiculously stupid.

"Why not? Sarah is a noble-born. She is smart, beautiful, and kind. She is a perfect wife for Henry!" Marlon insisted.

"And that bitch tried to kill me before," Dahlia interrupted. "She told you to kill James to save our family’s dignity, to send me to a mental hospital because I will ruin your reputation, and to ambush Kate because she said Kate is a witch. Do you see the pattern now? You are a goddamn fool if you don’t see it, Marlon Grant."

...

Marlon fell into silence after that. Because he knew that all of those were correct. Sarah was the one behind every decision that Marlon made. She had always been the mastermind the whole time.

It was just Marlon who foolishly followed orders because Sarah was a noble.

"Oh yeah," Henry finally broke his silence after getting entertained hearing the fight between his parents. "I called you because this man told me Kate is an evil bitch, so what do you think, Mom? Between Kate and Sarah, which one do you prefer?"

"Is this a genuine question, or are you making fun of me right now?" Dahlia was offended by the question. "I may be old, but not old enough to have dementia and blindness, Henry."

"Just answer it, Mom. I’m sure this old crook will be surprised by it," Henry insisted.

"Your father is an idiot, but maybe because he cheated on me with a woman who brings no value to the house," Dahlia complained. "Katherine is ingenious, independent, and pleasant to be around. She might not come from a prestigious family, but she can fit right now. She is also very caring and protective of her child, an important trait for a mother."

"Whereas that snake Sarah, she has been trying to get close to me for a long time. But as a fellow noblewoman, I know for a fact that she has never been interested in any of our sons. I can see how she looks down on all of us."

"So I don’t want to spend my old days with a daughter-in-law who won’t appreciate me," Dahlia stated firmly, which was like a death sentence for Marlon. "Do you know why I’m upset with you because of this whole thing, Henry?"

"Because I planned a heinous thing for her?" Henry admitted.

"No, it’s because you are a coward who run away from your sin by lying to your beloved. It was the same thing that Marlon did to me," Dahlia said firmly. "So if you don’t want to end up like that bastard, you have to mend things with her, Henry."
