Chapter 5 Vengeance Torture Them
- “The man I love is with your fiancée, and if I marry you, don’t you think it would be too dramatic?”
- Sarah could not describe her feelings at this moment. She only felt that this was too inconceivable!
- “You only need to tell me your decision.” Christian retracted his gaze. A trace of firmness that he had never had before slid across his eyes.
- “I won’t marry you! I don’t love you at all. Why should I marry you?” Sarah said without thinking.
- “You love him. So as long as you marry me, you can see him every day! My legs are already paralyzed. Even if you marry me, I won’t be able to touch you. We only have a nominal relationship!”
- “But this is not correct, is it?” Sarah’s mind was in a mess. She was shocked by Julian’s betrayal and she was even more shocked by Christian’s words.
- But no matter how agitated and sad she was, she still had a sense of right and wrong.
- Julian was with Christian’s fiancée. If she, being Julian’s fiancée, married Christian, his elder brother, would not it be too melodramatic?
- Hearing her words, Christian turned to look at her. His thin lips curled into a perfect arc as he sneered, “Did they think whether it was right or wrong before doing such a thing? You loved him for nine years and I wanted to marry her. But they chose to stab behind us. I just can’t swallow this! Can you tolerate something like this?”
- Christian looked at her coldly.
- “I …” Sarah did not know how to answer this question.
- She was also a normal person. She had blood, flesh and feelings. She was betrayed by the man she loved the most. How could she swallow that anger?
- “I want you to marry me because our experiences are exactly same. There is no second person who understands your feelings better than me! They are together. Don’t you feel jealous at all? Together, we have been duped and betrayed for, well, God knows how long.”
- “As long as you marry me, you will be Julian’s sister-in-law. As long as you appear in front of him, this matter will be an invisible torture to him! After we get married for three months, we’ll get divorced. I have a house in this city, when we get divorced, that house will belong to you. I have already said what I needed to say. You can get off the car now.”
- Sarah’s hands were tightly clasped together and her heart was in a mess.
- Logically speaking, she should have rejected it. But the words of this man just now had started to sway her!
- It was true that Julian betrayed her and made a joke of her feelings. And it was hard for her to swallow this anger.
- Vivian’s words were still in her ears.
- ‘You do not deserve Julian at all. You better accept this fact and leave Julian alone.’
- After nine years of love and care, what she heard was she did not deserve him.
- She did not want to accept it, but what Christian said made her unable to reject him.
- Her mind was in a mess. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
- Christian saw her inner struggle and knew that it was not easy for her to decide anything so suddenly. So, he did not urge her.
- He just looked at her silently, and waited for her to take the decision.
- Finally, after a few minutes of silence, Sarah opened her mouth.
- “Can I really get a divorce at any time?”
- “After three months, as long as you mention it, I’ll agree to it.”
- “Your legs …” Sarah could not help but look at his legs.
- She had heard in the Cooper family that Christian had met with an accident a few months ago, and that he might not able to stand up anymore.
- She only heard about it but did not know the specific details.
- “We are only husband and wife in name. I have already lost the right to be a man. Physically, I can’t satisfy you. You can ask for anything else.”
- Christian looked at her and straightforwardly replied.
- “Sorry, that’s not what I meant…” Sarah blushed when she heard his straight answer. She did not know how to explain.
- “This is an indisputable fact. You don’t have to apologize to me. I am already used to it.” Christian did not mind Sarah’s words. “When can you tell me the answer?”
- “I do not know …” Sarah shook her head helplessly. Her mind was in a mess and she did not know what to do.
- Christian looked at her quietly and rolled down the window. Jayson immediately walked back to the car.
- “Let’s go back to the apartment.” Christian ordered Jayson with a dark face.
- “Yes, sir.” Jayson quickly started the car and drove towards Christian’s apartment.
- “Are we going to your apartment now?” Sarah turned her head and looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
- “Do you think you can go home in your current state?” Christian looked at her and asked indifferently.
- Sarah immediately shook her head helplessly.
- Ever since her father passed away nine years ago, her mother had treated her as all the hope of her life. Her mother was filled with longing for her to marry into the Cooper Family.
- If she went back today and told everything to her mother, her mother would not be able to bear this blow even more than she did!
- She absolutely could not go back!
- “Drive!” Seeing that she did not speak, Christian ordered Jayson in a deep voice.
- The car started slowly and drove towards Christian’s apartment.
- Sarah tightly gripped her bag, as if there was a big hole in her heart. It was empty.
- Before today, her life was still filled with happiness and sweetness. Before she walked into Julian’s office, she was still looking forward to whether he would propose to her today. She was looking forward to wearing the wedding dress that she dreamed of in the near future. She hoped that she could become the happiest and most beautiful bride in the world and smile happily in front of everyone.
- But now, everything was shattered into pieces!
- So, nine years was just a beautiful dream!
