The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1224

"Haha! Are you scared?"

Michael looked at Aria's pale face, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He was a very handsome man, but because he was usually cold and distant, no one dared to look at his face.

Furthermore, Aria rarely saw him smiling. He would usually sneer, so people would be frightened of him. However, this time, Michael was smiling from the bottom of his heart.

When he smiled, he had a faint dimple on his right cheek, so he looked like a friendly neighbour.

Besides, his smile was pure and attractive.

At this thought, Aria quickly turned her head over.

Wait! Did she say that he was attractive?

How could she think that Michael was attractive?

He was an inhumane demon!

On the other hand, Michael remained silent. He wanted to light up another cigarette, but he had finished all of them.

After Valentina died, he couldn't live without nicotine. He smoked more and more, so now he was addicted.

Then, he frowned at the empty cigarette box, but he didn't leave.

He looked at the traffic outside and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you something. After I avenged Valentina, I returned to her hometown. I wanted to take her parents to where I lived and treat them as my parents, but their parents kicked me out of the house and didn't even want to see me."

"Hah! They called me a devil! In fact, they scolded me and asked me how could I be so cruel? They believed that those people should just be punished by law, so why should I tear them to pieces one by one? When I heard that, I thought they were joking with me.

"Well, why didn't they say anything when they treated Valentina this way? She was just a weak woman! Alas! How could the murderer be so cruel? I believed that I should get revenge for them because of an eye for an eye, but their parents thought I was a sinner and a devil. They told me I was not good enough for Valentina and said that luckily their daughter didn't marry me. Otherwise, they wouldn't know what I would have done to their daughter!"

When Michael was talking about that, a trace of heartache and pain finally appeared on his face.

When Aria saw the pain on his face, she felt upset too.

"Urgh! How could they do this to you? You did this for their daughter, didn't you?"

She was right.

He had done everything for Valentina, but her parents did not understand him. Thus, he felt upset and devastated, but he never thought about this.

Thus, the only person he cared about was Valentina.

After all, everyone had their own way of getting revenge.

If he handed those b*stards over to the law, it would be impossible for them to escape death. However, the way they died would be too quick and easy.

After all, they didn't deserve a quick death for what they did to Valentina!

At this thought, Michael's eyes became icy-cold again.

"However, I can't blame them. After all, they are all good people, and they have led happy lives. Hence, they don't know how dark and cruel the world is. They only know that their daughter was sacrificed, and the army conferred her as a martyr. They believed that Valentia did it for the glory of the family, so they were proud of her. But, if I had a choice, I would throw away this stupid pride! After all, I just want her to be alive so that she can spend every day with me and raise our children together! Urgh! I just want us to spend the rest of our lives happily."

Suddenly, Michael choked with sobs and his eyes were moist.

How long had it been?

It had been a long time since he had missed Valentina so much.

After all, nine years had passed!

He had been living the life of walking dead, but today, he had torn his own wound open again. When he realized how he used to be, he couldn't help but tear up.

Right now, Aria was completely stunned by what she was seeing.

After all, this man seemed to really love the woman named Valentina.

Aria thought that if she also had such a boyfriend, she could rest in peace.

But what about her fiance, Maverick?

Well, Aria did not want to think about him at that moment.

She lowered her head and whispered, "He picked me up from the streets."

Michael was a little shocked when he heard that.

He just wanted to tell her what he had been wanting to tell Valentina these years, but he didn't expect Aria to tell him her story.

Michael frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't interrupt her.

Then, Aria continued with a bitter smile, "Alas! I was an orphan, and I have been in the orphanage for since I could remember. The children there are annoying, and they always like to bully me because I have yellow skin and black eyes that are different from them. Furthermore, the dean wouldn't help me. I can only eat their remaining scraps. I thought I would grow up like this in the orphanage, but Maverick appeared when I was 14 years old.
