Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife

Chapter 787

Chapter 787

Olivia stood blankly, staring at him. The look in her eyes moved from shock to guilt and then blank.

In retrospect, Zac had been gentle, caring, and generous to her ever since they met. He had been supportive and

tolerant of everything she did and never said no to her.

It seemed she took him for granted because of this.

She had even... forgotten that he was human too. He had emotions. She opened her mouth to say something, but

she swallowed what she wanted to say.

Zac saw her hesitation and smiled. "I should thank you. I might not be so 'humane' if it weren't for you.

"When I was little, my mom always asked me to be good and patient, so I never lost my temper even if I was

bullied.

"After I grew up, I kept all my emotions to myself and rarely lost my temper or spoke angrily."

Then he paused and looked up at her. "That's why I didn't confess to you four years ago. Because I thought

protecting you was enough, and I shouldn't ask for more.

"I always thought I had no desire until... I was locked in the basement by my dad, and you agreed to marry me to

save me. "It dawned on me then that I had desires. I had them all along. I just kept it in my heart.

"Then I had a car accident. I lost both my legs and hearing. And

Xavier and John stopped you from marrying me.

"All my suppressed emotions burst. I hated myself for being so incompetent and suppressed."

Zac tugged open his collar, opened his mouth to take a big breath, and continued saying, 'That was the first time I

let out my anger, and I thought it would be alright later.

"The funny thing is the universe seems to want to fool me. I even have a half-brother from a different mother.

Everything is triggering me, and sometimes it feels like I can't hold down my emotions anymore...

"But anyway, I'm sorry I yelled at you, Liv..."

"Zac." Olivia snuffled, bit her lip, and looked at him. "Speaking of which, it's my fault."

She patted Zac on the shoulder. "I'm used to your gentleness and pampering. I seem to take everything for granted

and never consider your feelings. It's also my fault..."

There was a lot she wanted to say, but she hesitated and did not know what to say.

"Liv..." Zac smiled sardonically. "I suddenly know why you like John and not me."

Olivia looked at him in confusion.

"John was cold and cruel before he met you. Few people in Ocean City saw him smile, but he changed after

meeting you."

Zac looked into the distance as if he recalled a distant memory.

When he mentioned you, his eyes were full of joy, and he was more casual.

"But I'm unlike him. He closed himself off, so he armored himself with indifference. I close myself off by armoring

myself with calmness.

"We both opened Pandora's box after meeting you. But he learned to be gentle, and I learned to be furious."

Finally, he glanced intently at Olivia. "That's all I have to say. Get some rest. Let me know if you want to move out."

With that said, he turned his wheelchair and left.

Olivia looked at his back as she felt a pang in her heart. She had indescribable mixed feelings.
