The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1397

Damon’s last three words hung in the air for a few seconds, and his expression took on a grave seriousness after he had spoken.

Wendy’s crying stopped instantly. She stared wide-eyed at the man outside the cage, her face a mask of confusion.

She didn’t understand. Didn’t understand why Damon had brought her here.

Why had he come here…

"Nothing to say? If you don’t speak now, you might not get another chance."

Damon leaned to the side, picked up a handgun from the table, and played around with it lightly in his hand.

Wendy's heart flinched at the sight of the man in front of her, who was exuding a terrifying aura, and she began to cry again.

"Damon... I've been following you since we were kids. You've taught me a lot, always protected me, helped me, favored me. I'll never forget...you were my childhood dream.

“My entire life has revolved around you. I worked hard to study, to become a proper lady of the Alonso family. Do you know how much courage it took for me to leave home and study abroad... But I still went, just so I could fight alongside you. Nobody loves you more than I do, Damon. You have no idea how much I've given for you.

“We're childhood sweethearts, a perfect match, and everyone thinks we're the ideal couple. I've worked hard for this, so why won't you look at me? Why won't you open your heart to me, and see how good I am?

“There's no one in this world who loves you more than I do..."

It was clear that Wendy's words were heartfelt.

Nate sneaked a glance at Damon, who had been silent for a long time on the couch, uncertain of what he was thinking. Was he... moved?

"...And then?" Damon finally spoke after a long silence, his voice devoid of any emotion. But Wendy felt that Damon had heard her words and a glimmer of hope sparked in her heart.

"If I can't be with you in this lifetime, I'd rather die than live in this world."

He was her belief, her everything. Without him, what was the point of her existence?

Hearing this, Damon offered a slight smile. He looked up, directly into Wendy's hopeful eyes—

"Then go ahead and die."

Wendy was jolted to her core. She stared at him, her eyes reflecting his handsome, yet mocking face. She was too stunned to react.

Nate shivered at the sight.

Damon's casual, nonchalant attitude was even more terrifying. Playing with the gun in his hand, Damon suddenly stopped. He raised his arm and pointed the gun directly at the woman in the cage.

"I've heard you say these things too many times."

Pulling the trigger, he said coolly, "It makes me sick."

"Listening to you say these things... I'm sick of it. You want to be with me..." He tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes filled with disgust. After a few seconds, he spoke again, "...then go ahead and die."
