I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 470 - 468: I’ve Loved You for Six Years (2)
She bit her lip, struggling to hold back her tears.
"I’m sorry, I... I’ve changed my mind."
Changed her mind?
Who gave her the right to change her mind? On what grounds could she change it?
"No way!"
"You..." She was at a loss for words, her heart filled with anger and pain, she shouted hoarsely, "You’re always like this, why?!"
Why must she stay? He wants someone else, not her. She doesn’t want to be a puppet for others, nor a substitute.
She is Vera Wave, she wants him to love her, love Vera, love this real woman, not some six-year "ONLYONG"!
Kris Cooper lifted his foot, stepping onto the last step separating them.
Now, he and she were face to face, their noses almost touching.
Raising her eyes to meet his, Vera’s heart suddenly filled with panic. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Her palm tightened as his large hand had already grasped her small hand, curled together.
"Vera, come back with me, please?"
Those words, so gentle, even with a hint of pleading.
Her heart suddenly ached with pain.
Vera raised her eyes, watching his face.
His hair was completely soaked, his eyes somehow filled with either rainwater or something else, the bloodshot veins quite evident.
Recalling how he crossed half the city to find her, seeing his rain-drenched clothes, she suddenly softened.
Her lips trembled, a "yes" almost slipping out.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lost my temper at you earlier. I know I must have done something wrong, but... no matter what I did, you must believe, I love you! Vera, I can’t be without you!"
The word "love" deeply pierced her.
Even now, he was still talking about love?
"Let’s... break up!"
After saying those five words, she took a deep breath, gently pulling her fingers out from his.
But his fingers tightened firmly, not giving her a chance to withdraw.
After pulling for a while and still failing to free her fingers, Vera took a light breath.
"Kris, if you truly have even a bit of sincerity for me, then... let go!"
At the bottom of the steps.
Andre Colin came looking with an umbrella, seeing the couple on the steps, he paused, then turned and walked over, stopping at the bottom of the steps.
"What did you say?"
Kris Cooper squinted his eyes.
"Let go, let me go, I beg you!"
She fought to control her emotions, not letting herself cry, avoiding his eyes to keep herself from softening.
A substitute is always just a substitute; one day he will understand, and she can’t wait until then to leave.
At least now they’re not married, have no children...
She knows his nature, seemingly violent and heartless on the surface, but tender at heart.
If it truly came to that point, wavering between love and responsibility, the one suffering would be him, and she doesn’t want that.
She would rather he hate her than see him struggle.
She is just his substitute; he, however, is her true love.
She would be the bad person!
Kris Cooper took a deep breath, suddenly releasing her fingers, and shouted with an angry voice.
"If you leave... then never come back!"
Vera took a deep breath, slowly turned around.
With a blink of her eyes, two tears slid down her cheeks.
On the steps.
Andre Colin pulled out his phone, raised it to his ear, listened for a few words, immediately lowered the phone, quickly ran up the steps, and raised the umbrella over Vera and Kris Cooper’s heads.
"Vera, Grandma is looking for you."
Grandma?!
Vera turned her face in surprise, looking at Andre Colin.
