The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 2098

Wyatt declared, “I loved your mother deeply. From the moment I saw her, it was a love that would last forever. Even to this day, she’s the only one in my heart.”

“Dad…”

Wyatt sighed. “When I was sick and felt useless, there was a thought that crossed my mind every day—to give up on treatment and just let go. That way, I could see your mother in heaven sooner.”

“Mr. Salvador, you’re back so soon? Did you propose to her? Did she say yes?!” Ian asked eagerly.

Justin shook his head somberly. “No, I didn’t propose.”

“There’s plenty of time. I’m bound to Bella in this lifetime. No matter what, she’s not going anywhere.”
