Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt novel Chapter 2696

Charity's eyes moved slightly. “Since you can’t get over me, why weren't you worried when I committed suicide? You even came to tell me that I was too desperate and that I was no different from other women. You told me to stay far away from you if I wanted to kill myself and not to bother you because you wouldn't go soft-hearted."

Monte was so ashamed that he wished he could slap his old self. "Lizzie, I thought you were pretending to kill yourself at that time. I'm sorry. I made those nasty remarks so that you would give up on me because getting my family to approve of us being together was too difficult.

Furthermore... you're so wonderful that I didn't think I deserved you."

"Why do you think you deserve me now?"

Charity asked in surprise.

Monte promptly held her hand and said fondly, "Lizzie, I can’t get over you, and that is the truth. Do you remember how happy we were when we were together?"

"Young Master Patterson, I heard you have a fiancee. I don't think it's appropriate for you to hold my best friend's hand like this." Freya appeared beside them with a half smile and threatening gaze. "Or do you think my best friend is suitable to be your lover?"

It was undeniable that Freya's presence was getting stronger after spending so much time with Ryan.

Monte was not afraid of Freya, but he did not dare to disrespect Ryan.

"Of course not." Monte did not let go of Charity's hand. Instead, he tightened his grip. "I've never wanted Lizzie to be my lover. When we were in a relationship, she was officially my girlfriend."

"But you already have a fiancee." Freya said coldly, "In that case, stop pestering Eliza."

"Lilian and I got engaged only because our elders forced us, and getting engaged is just a means to delay things. Right now, I'm striving hard to inherit the Patterson family's fortune. Then, I’ll be able to decide on my marriage.”

With a handsome face and firm tone, Monte said, "I love Eliza. I was too cowardly back then, but now, I want to work hard for her sake."

"Sure. Since you love Eliza so much, hurry up and break up with Lilian." Catherine walked up to him. "Stop pestering my friend until you end your relationship with

Lilian. Otherwise, that would mean you’re going against me."

"That includes me." Freya lifted her chin.
