FreeNovelChapter 297
"Have you? After that night, during all these days we've spent together, has your heart ever beat for me?" Shawn asked.
She was silent.
"If you don't answer, I'll see it as a silent acknowledgment that you.., love me."
Gale pursed her lips, forcing out an ugly smile. "Does that even matter? If you love me and I love you, would we be able to be together?"
"I want to know your answer."
As long as she said that she loved him, then he would be able to jump into the fire, ignoring everything else!
Shawn's eyes were locked on her. "You've had feelings for me before, Gale. I refuse to believe that your heart is made of stone. You tried so hard to
protect the child. It's because you developed feelings for me that night, right?" "No!"
Shawn said, "Yes! Even though you've never said it, I could tell that you've been waiting for the man from that night to appear. You wanted the man
to take you away, and he gave you hope! Now, I'm the man from that night!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGale answered, "The one I love is the man who had been so gentle to me the whole night. It was the man who whispered into my ears, promising to
marry me. He was a responsible and gentlemanly man! It's not you, Shawn, a terrifying and selfish man!"
Those words pierced Shawn right in his heart again.
"I hate you, Shawn. It's not the first time I've told you this, so how could you think that I love you?" Gale laughed and said, "It's a joke! Who would
fall in love with their enemy? How could I fall in love with the person who ruined my whole life?!"
Even as she said that, Gale felt hurt.
However, she wanted him to hurt even more. She wanted him to suffer ten times the pain she did.
If he hurt her once, she would hurt him ten times!
Gale turned around to leave. She disappeared as she walked up the stairs.
She had bitten her lips so hard she bled to prevent herself from crying.
Why? Why did the man from that night have to be Shawn?
Fate toyed with her.
The person she had been waiting for was Shawn.
The person she hated was Shawn as well.
How could such a conflicting person be in her life?!
Shawn was left in the living room alone. He stood beneath the chandelier by himself.
The person he should have loved was Gale.
He had given his love to the wrong person the whole time.
Yet, even when he did not know she was the woman from that night, he had already fallen deeply in love with her.
That was fate.
That love had gotten deeper and more solidified that day!
Shawn knew that he had done many wrong things. He knew that he owed Gale. The only thing he had done right was marry her.
He was incredibly thankful that he had married her!
Yet, that child...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn slowly lifted his hands, looking at his palms.
He had killed his own child.
Was there anything he could regret more than that?
Suddenly, Shawn bent over as he coughed out a mouthful of blood, staining the rug.
His anger had reached his heart.
He was in great pain.
The housekeeper happened to enter and was shocked to see what had happened. "Mr. Wood!"
Shawn waved it off, wiping his mouth like nothing had happened.
"Should I call the doctor? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Shawn's expression sank. "No need, have someone clean it up. What happened to Susan?
"I
"She's just lying down there, not making a sound."
He turned around and exited the house.
