<h4>Chapter 1613: Chapter 1613: Does It Still Matter!?</h4>


    But how could he start, how could he erase the hurt she had once endured?


    "I already know everything."


    "Know what?" She still seemed a bit confused.


    "When did you exin everything to me?" He looked at her, questioning.


    Five years ago, because of his anger in the moment, he hadn’t bothered to listen to her exnation. Yet she imed to have told him the entire truth—when exactly was that? Why did he have no recollection of it?


    Belinda Howard stared at him, still somewhat perplexed for a moment.


    "What exactly are you referring to?"


    "Five years ago, why did you show up at that hotel? Why did you end up in Horion Jones’s room?" He looked at the woman before him with a pang of heartache, thinking of his abrupt departure five years ago—regret consumed him!


    Belinda Howard finally understood.


    But her heart twisted in pain.


    What was his reason for asking her now? Was he deciding to believe her atst?


    "When did I ever exin? I don’t remember anything..." If he had known the truth back then, he wouldn’t have turned and walked away. No, he absolutely wouldn’t have.


    Belinda Howard looked at him, her eyes tinted with deep anguish.


    "Is it important? Back then, all I wanted was for you to give me just one minute, but you still left—just like that, you left, and you stayed gone for five years. Does asking this now have any meaning? Is it still important!?"


    She cried out in anguish, tears falling uncontrobly, mirroring the bleeding of her heart five years ago in the instant he walked away.


    "Of course it’s important!" Seeing the pain in her eyes, Fenton Stuart’s own heart twisted sharply, as though he was being torn apart!


    How could it not be important? His naiveté, his youthful arrogance, had tormented him for five full years. If he had listened to her exnation at the very beginning, would he have still walked away?


    The regret weighed heavily on him. He regretted not stopping to hear her back then, leading to five years of lost time—five years of mutual torment!


    Belinda Howard lifted her heartbroken gaze, her tears flowing like a spring.


    Thinking of his departure five years ago, refusing to listen to her while pressing Another Woman under him, her heart seized with excruciating pain—wave after wave, as if it were tearing her apart!


    So now he wanted to say it mattered?


    "If it really mattered... five years ago, you wouldn’t have pressed Audrey Jenkins beneath you!" She looked at him, tears streaming endlessly. "Do you know how much it hurt when I saw you tangled with her in that private room..."


    As she spoke, she ced her hand over her chest, where a knife seemed to be digging into her piece by piece, carving out her flesh, sending searing pain through her!

    But Fenton Stuart stood utterly shocked!


    Five years ago, he had pressed Audrey Jenkins beneath him? How could this have happened?


    Looking at her grief-stricken eyes, Fenton Stuart was utterly bewildered.


    "Audrey Jenkins and me? When?" Why did he have no memory of this at all!?


    Staring at his innocent expression, Belinda Howard’s heart only hurt more.


    Was he now trying to deny what he had done back then?


    Fine! Then she would say it clearly, leaving no room for ambiguity!


    "When you turned and walked away without listening to my exnation! When I sent you a message to exin everything, and you didn’t respond at all! Fenton Stuart, do you realize howughable it is for you to say all of this is important now? I won’t forgive you, and I can’t forgive you!"
