Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 794 - 411: Extra Story: Asking for Her Forgiveness 2
In the huge LCD screen, what was captured were the bustling streets of London.
Everyone was in a busy state of life, some rushing to catch a train, some chatting and laughing with friends, and some leisurely shopping...
Yet she, dragging her fragile body, occasionally supported herself against solid objects by the roadside to bear her weakness. Several times she almost failed to hold onto something nearby and nearly fell, entirely out of place with those brushing past her.
Her face was so pallid, her exquisite features often crumpled from the pain...
She never allowed herself to fall, supporting against the roadside buildings, she stepped away one step at a time.
The whole world seemed blurred, only she stood out sharply in this world...
He watched her take difficult steps from the street’s beginning to the end, finally unable to bear the bodily pain and sat down on a bench by the street.
She clutched her chest, trying to relieve the pain in her heart... But the pain seemed to intensify, making her brow furrow deeply. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
At that moment, a loving couple strolling noticed her painful appearance...
They stepped forward to ask if she needed help, yet she just shook her head, still remembering to give them a frail smile.
He pressed the remote, letting the image linger on her smiling moment. He quietly gazed at her on the LCD screen for a long, long time.
Her beauty was soul-stirring, even if at this moment that beautiful face was already bloodless.
Once, how deeply attracted he was because of her face, but over the years, he detested that face, so much so that he never looked at her directly...
And only today did he realize that her face was full of fatigue and weariness...
In those past ten years, if he could have spared a little time, even a second to truly look at her face, perhaps, he wouldn’t have been so heartless...
Why was she so stubborn?
Why never display a hint of weakness before him?
Why not let him know she was already terminally ill?
If in the past she had been less stubborn, less strong, told him she still wanted to be with him, maybe, the outcome wouldn’t be as it is now...
She once shouted saying he loved her, yet he cruelly answered, "never cared." Did she know, how hateful the heart was then...
He wished to tear her to shreds... But does she understand what level of love makes someone hate another to the point of wanting to tear them apart?
He once used all the trust he had left in anyone to love her, once longed for love and marriage like a youth new to society, he once bought wedding rings for her, planned a wedding in Italy for her, laid down the previous generations’ grievances for her...
He only hoped she could be by his side all my life.
Because, in all my life, there was never a person who cherished him like this, nor did he ever want to cherish anyone this much.
But all of this was shattered in an instant... The beautiful world he yearned for, the diamond ring he bought, the wedding he secretly planned in Italy, the proposal he prepared that night, all turned into bubbles in an instant.
Does she know, it was that day she imprisoned him in a hell that cannot transcend?
Hence he wondered, if one is to go to hell, why must he be the only one? Promised to share joys and sorrows, stay together all life, then, shouldn’t hell be endured together?
These ten years taking from her, seeking revenge, he always wanted to see a bit of suffering and pleading from her, but none...
Her stubbornness did not permit herself to show even a hint of weakness before him, so he thought she wasn’t in pain, wasn’t suffering, wasn’t like him, living in hell every moment. But how little he knew, her facade was more sophisticated than anyone’s.
She was still so hateful...
Spending over ten years, just to let him know how foolish he was in the past...
Now she finally got her wish, he was deeply regretful, his face couldn’t hide the fatigue and loneliness anymore, the accumulated suppressed yearning had tortured his once hardy and cold heart to distortion...
Wasn’t she wanting to see him in this inhuman, ghostly state now?
Why doesn’t she come out now?
How much he wishes she would appear... Does she know?
Skyler Jones’s gaze remained fixed on the LCD screen’s frail smile, different from the careful smile in the photos stored in her phone with him. That held caution, but here, this was her truly revealing smile.
