Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 450

Idris’ eyes were bloodshot, his soul on the brink of shattering, and it hurt my chest just to see him like that. I wanted to tell him that everything I said was a lie and that after cheating death, I would give anything to leap into his arms, cling to him, and promise that it was all behind us. I wanted to tell him that we would have to hold on to each other tighter than ever and never let go.

However, wishes sometimes had to go cruelly ungranted.

I could not walk the same path as him anymore.

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I held back every emotion and told him, "Idris, I can't make up for what I owe you, but I wish you the best from the bottom of my heart. May you find joy with a loving wife and a wonderful son, and may your life be easy and free from hardship."

With that, I got up, ready to walk away.

However, he caught my wrist, his grip so tight in his fury that it hurt. I bit my lip, enduring the pain as I met his gaze.

His lips were white, and the rage in his eyes was about to burst forth. Finally, he forced out the words, "A loving wife and a wonderful son?"

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at me with scorn. "Who's the loving wife? And the wonderful son? Is it Alice?"

I could not help but frown at his reaction. Had he not already owned up to his past with Alice? Why was he acting like that then?

When I stayed silent, he let out a disdainful laugh. "Yvette, what are you doing by pushing me to her? Are you off to find Lucas?"

As I watched him, I could tell he was seriously ticked off. I let out a quiet sigh. I had hoped we could part on good terms, but it looked like that was not going to happen.

Talking more would probably lead to a fight, and I did not want that. I glanced down at his hand, clamped around my wrist, and said with a scratchy voice, "Idris, that hurts."

He quickly let go, his face showing surprise for once. He stumbled over his words. "I... I didn't mean to."

I knew it was an accident and was not mad at him. I just wanted to move on. "It's fine!" I said and walked away.

"Yvette!" he called out, but I did not stop. Even if I had, I would not have known what to say.
