Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion-Chapter 319 - It Was Love At First Sight
Chapter 319: It Was Love At First Sight
It was as if his memory had suddenly burst open and flooded his mind with past events.
“She was the kindest and gentlest woman I have ever met but also the stupidest, most useless, and most vulnerable. She gave everything—her gentleness, kindness, and care—to that man and the son whom she had not born—Lin Jingxuan. She would rather spend her patience and love on that son than on me. She told me that I wasn’t her son, I came from the dump, and I made her sick.”
Ye Erruo unconsciously clutched his hand tightly when she heard that. She did not agree with what his mother had said. He hadn’t been ditched.
Now, she finally understood why Old Master Lin had allowed a mistress into the house ostentatiously and why the illegitimate son had been acknowledged as the firstborn instead.
It was because his mother had loved that man too much for her own good.
As for him, he had never known motherly love, which explained his aloof and tyrannical nature.
“My mother wanted me to address that man as my father, but why should I? He wasn’t my father and he was unfit to be one. She could not stop harping on about the son who wasn’t hers even on her deathbed.
“The day after she passed away, I concocted poison and sent that pair of ingrates down to hell to keep her company. Lin Jingxuan would have accompanied them if it wasn’t for the old man. He stopped me from poisoning him too. I’ve always been better than that fella in every way, so the old man naturally loves me.”
“…”
Following that, he whispered resolutely into her ear, “I’ll snatch everything that chap likes. If I can’t have something, then I’ll destroy it.”
She stared wide-eyed at him. She had finally found out why he had given her that strange look when Lin Jingxuan had first brought her home to meet his family. It was also when the old man had started to transfer his authority to him that he’d started to go after her.
“Is this the reason you took notice of me then? You wanted me because you wanted to break us up?”
He replied with a soft gaze, “That’s not the main reason.”
“Then what’s the reason?” She was stumped.
“I knew you were the one for me when I first set eyes on you.”
If he hadn’t been convinced that she was the one, he wouldn’t have put up with her nonsense. He would have finished off any other woman who resisted him repeatedly! As he had said earlier, he would destroy what he could not have!
“Baby Ruo, it was love at first sight for me.”
“Love at first sight?” She didn’t believe him at all.
“If I hadn’t fallen head over heels with you, I wouldn’t have tried to break up your relationship with him time and again and I wouldn’t have stopped myself from going after him because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. As you know, I have no talent other than my talent for making people disappear from this world.”
She didn’t know how to reply to that.
“Are you sleepy yet?”
After circling her arms around his waist, she said, “Not at all.”
Mo Jiangye, I will be by your side from this day onwards. I’ll give you all the gentleness and patience I have and I’ll become your home. I couldn’t catch you in the past but I’ll be here with you in the future.
It didn’t matter who his father was or if the man was still alive, and she didn’t care to ask either.
“Are you hungry?”
“I was hungry earlier but not anymore.”
“It’s gonna be bright out soon. We better get into bed now.”
“Alright.”
“Baby Ruo, it was love at first sight for me. I ask for nothing more except to have you beside me forever…” As he leaned on her, he whispered softly into her ear.
