Chapter 776 I Think I’m a Murderer
She saw the weakness in his eyes and how much this man, who had always been proud and aloof, was looking forward to and begging for her forgiveness.
She didn’t expect him to prepare these things tonight, so she wasn’t prepared at all. She looked at the petals and candles at her feet, and the carefully constructed environment around her. She felt a surge of heat in her heart. This man was used to being superior, so every time he lowered his head, she couldn’t help but feel soft–hearted. It was the same five years ago, and now it
was the same.
She calmed down and said slowly, “I didn’t expect to meet you in Eoland five years later, nor did I expect to come back to Jewel City with you. It all happened so suddenly. I didn’t know…” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I know, I know everything.” The man’s breath was also trembling, and she could feel the fluctuations in the bottom of his heart. “I don’t expect you to forgive me completely. I just hope that you can give me a chance to take care of you and your child.” What Huston said was true. When he thought of how she had been away from them all these years and how they had no one to rely on, but he hadn’t done anything for them, he felt even more indebted.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back her tears, and crystal clear liquid flowed out of her eyes. She shook her head, afraid that she would misunderstand. “I don’t need your compensation and
sympathy. I don’t need it.”
“I don’t sympathize with you, nor will I sympathize with you. We are both the most hurt in this relationship. What right do I have to sympathize with you?” Looking at her tearful and fragile appearance, he couldn’t help but step forward and hold her in his arms. His fingertips gently wiped
away the tears on her face, and his tall body bent slightly. His forehead was pressed against hers, and his eyes were full of affection.
She felt dizzy and couldn’t breathe. She almost drowned in his warm arms, but when she thought of the feeling in prison five years ago, she couldn’t help shivering.
“What’s wrong?” Sensing her reaction, Huston looked down at her…
She sobbed and said, “Huston, you keep asking me why I don’t want to be with you again. It’s not because I’m unwilling, nor because of anything else. I haven’t had anyone else in the past five years, and I’m innocent with Bert. But I can’t forget the feeling of you sending me to prison five years ago. When I first went to Aronland, I was pregnant and couldn’t sleep well at night. I always dreamed of the wet bed in prison and the white walls on all sides. I was too scared. I felt like I was a murderer. I trusted you so much, but I made the decision I was most afraid of. I can’t forget that feeling of being deprived of the last glimmer of hope in despair…”
This was the first time she had talked about what had happened five years ago. He knew that at this moment, her heart was open to him. She wanted him to see how much pain she was in.
“It’s my fault, it’s my fault. I thought that it was good, so I forced you to leave. I know that it’s too late to say anything now, and I had missed it. So, even if I have to do everything for you and Lucas now, I’ll give you the best life.” Huston held her palm–sized face with both hands and looked at her tearful face. Her heart ached, but her eyes were burning with love. “There’s something I haven’t had a chance to say.”
She raised her eyes and met his deep eyes. Her heart was beating faster and faster, as if something was about to rush into her body.
Everything around him quieted down, and there was nothing ́else in sight except for him.
