The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1638

Rosalynn's words hit Jacob like a ton of bricks.

For the past sixteen years, he had countless opportunities to make Erica his wife.

But he always had a million reasons not to.

"You think I didn't marry her because of her past?" Jacob snapped, looking up at Rosalynn. "If I cared about that, would I have stuck around with her for sixteen years?!"

Rosalynn looked at Jacob in disappointment.

He was a loyal friend, sure.

But when it came to love, he was a hot mess.

"You didn't care because you always had a string of women by your side," Rosalynn told him bluntly. "But are you sure Erica's so-called ex-boyfriends even existed?"

Jacob frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Before I met Erica, I heard from your friends about what kind of person she was. But after I got to know her, I saw the love in her eyes when she looked at you. It made me wonder, was she really as bad as your friends made her out to be? Did she really have intimate relationships with all those men?"

"They have photos and videos as proof!"

Pictures of her kissing and holding hands with other men, even going to hotels with them...

Jacob admitted, when he first saw those photos and videos, he hated her.

Rosalynn wasn't sure if Erica had actually done those things.

She had a gut feeling that Erica wouldn't.

So, she decided not to keep arguing with Jacob about it.

"Jacob, I'll say it again, no one's gonna wait around for you forever, and you can't stop her from starting a new life after you've hurt her for so many years," Rosalynn paused. "Can't you see how much she's into Larkin?"

Again, Jacob felt like he'd been hit by a lightning bolt.

"I don't get it, I never hurt her like Wayne hurt you, why could you forgive Wayne, but she won't forgive me?" Jacob asked, clutching his head in agony.
