True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1603

Ernest said calmly, "But that's just one aspect of it. Although I am grateful that you didn't know how to appreciate her, that doesn't mean I forgive you for the hurt you brought to Leah."

Hogan stood there in shock, starting at Ernest.

"You didn't treat her and her sister fairly. You were always biased towards Rowane. I have already gotten a clear picture of what type of person Rowane is. Even after being rejected, she is insistent on bothering us. Even if they're sisters, you shouldn't have been so soft on her. Especially considering who she is. It's clear from their father's affair that if Rowane had been a good person, Leah wouldn't have wanted to hurt her. But the problem is, she isn't."

Ernest was very calm and clear with each word he spoke.

Hogan stood there stiffly. Although he was only half a head shorter than Ernest, it suddenly felt like Hogan was only two feet tall.

There were no swords drawn, no acts of brutality.

All there was was a calm and composed attitude. Hogan looked at the tall man in front of him, and all kinds of emotions poured out in his heart.

He had to admit that he had lost completely.

To be such a humble, mature, and rich heir, Hogan felt like he couldn't do it.

He felt even more guilty. He realized that it was perfectly logical for him to have lost Leah.

He was very upset, but he had to admit that Ernest was a wonderful person.

Hogan was deeply impressed. Ernest deserved Leah much more than he did.

With a slight frown, he said, "Yes, you are right. People never know what they have until it's gone. I was the same. I always thought Leah and I were destined to be since we were children. She was always smiling at me, so it never occurred to me that she would reject me one day. It's a pity."

"It's a pity because you wasted your time enjoying getting attention from both women. All the while, you forgot that you could be hurting them. It's not that you didn't know, you just ignored it." Ernest's words cut right through to Hogan's soft spot.

Hogan's entire body went rigid, feeling even more awkward.

His face was slightly pale, but he still nodded. "Yes, I suppose I did it on purpose."

Ernest's face turned cold, and his lips curled into a

smirk.

When he thought about all the harm he had brought to her, Ernest was still furious. But he had been brought up well, so he didn't show it much on his face.

"So I deserved it. I didn't get her, but what about you? Ernest, are you confident that you will always love and protect Leah like how you do now?"

"I think I should thank you for reminding me what to do. From now on, Leah and Is business will have nothing to do with you. We'll each go our own way from now," Ernest replied as he got ready to leave.

"Please wait a moment." Hogan stopped him. He was rather nervous, as though he was worried Ernest might leave without hearing what he had to say.

Ernest stopped and turned back to look at Hogan. "Yes?"

Hogan looked at him and said genuinely, "When I found out you were from the Jones family, I did some research on you. I know you're studying in England right now. I was just wondering, how long will you be there for?"

Ernest frowned slightly. He didn't expect Hogan to be so well- informed to the point where Hogan would know that he was studying in England.

Ernest raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to remind you to talk to Leah often even when you're abroad. She's not good at being alone. I've learnt from my past mistakes. Now I just hope Leah is better off. I am saying all this from the heart, and I truly don't have any ill intentions," Hogan said seriously.

Ernest observed Hogan carefully. He did seem to be quite serious.

Perhaps it was out of kindness.

Ernest didn't want to probe further. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice. I will contact Leah often, don't worry about it."
