Isaac stood where he was. His back tensed uncontrollably and he frowned hard.
After a long while, Chloe did not wait for Isaac's reply. She pursed her lips and continued, "Issac, we've known each other for almost three years. Three more months later, we'll have known each other for three years. You should know how good I am to you these years, right?"
"I know..." Chloe sniffed, "I'm bad-tempered. Sometimes I am a bit unreasonable. Sometimes I even... say whatever I want to say. But my love for you has never changed. I fell in deep love with you when I first saw you."
"Maybe... you don't love me so much, so you delayed our engagement again and again. Later, we finally got engaged. Do you know how happy I was? It was like..." Her eyelashes trembled a few times, "I finally got the thing that I couldn't get all the time. Yeah, you're my love, and my dream."
"But although we were engaged, your attitude towards me... didn't change. You were neither cold nor warm, but you were polite and considerate. In the eyes of outsiders, you are
a perfect lover. You are handsome, stable, and you have your own dream and strength. You are different from those men I met before, and the Bai family is rich. Although you're the son of... Don't be unhappy. I mean no malice. I just want to say that you are different from many rich play boys."
"These are the reasons why I love you more and more. But, only I love you is not enough. We are engaged, and we will get married soon. I am happy and looking forward to it, but at the same time, I feel uneasy and I want more. Your coldness and courtesy really tortures me sometimes."
"If we love each other... it can be called love. If only I love you but you don't love me, this is unrequited love. You... are very kind to me sometimes. No matter what I said, you never refused me, and you did everything that I asked you to do perfectly. But..."
She didn't know whether it was because she spoke too sadly or it was because she thought of the past. At this time, she only felt wronged in heart and her nose twitched, "You are too kind and perfect, so I... Issac, really, sometimes I feel that you don't love me at all. I can even feel that you treat me in a perfunctory way."
"However, even so, I don't want to let go of you. Before I met you, I never thought about
marrying someone for the interests of my family. Although I am not smart and bad-tempered, I don't want to ruin my love because of such a marriage. At that time, I reluctantly agreed with my father to see you because of my work. Later, I was extremely glad that I went to see you. I am already twenty-five years old. It is the first time that I have fallen in love with someone. From then on, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about you. Although you are always so indifferent to me, I have no complaint."
"I love you so much, really." Saying this, she hugged Isaac with more strength and held him more tightly, "I love you and care about you too much, so I want your response. Do you love me?"
Did he love her?
She said the last sentence with pleading and even nervousness.
Isaac closed his eyes and pursed his thin lips.
He only cared about two women in his life. One was his mother, and the other was Adele. He did not like to be too close to other women because of his growing environment.
Chloe...
Honestly speaking, Chloe was beautiful and came from a good family. Although she was a little domineering and willful, her nature was not bad.
Yeah, not bad.
He was not a bad guy.
If it weren't for the hatred in his heart, he would not have agreed to marry Chloe, nor would he know her. Speaking of which, Chloe... was actually an innocent woman who knew nothing. He was not bad, but he had to admit that he was mean. He got an innocent woman involved because of his own hatred.
He felt guilty about her, but...
Did he love her?
