Delete My Love for You novel Chapter 221

Seeing how relentless he was, Charlotte finally turned to face him.

“Darren, I haven’t had a home for a long time.”

“As for the hell you’re talking about—for me, the only real hell is wherever you are.”

With that, Charlotte looked to the officer. “Officer, my ex-husband is harassing me. Could you please get him out of here?”

“Yes, Mr. Harrington, I think you should calm down—”

The officer hurried over, politely but firmly pulling Darren away.

The car door slammed shut.

The engine roared to life, and the car swung sharply to the side, slipping past the vehicle blocking its path.

Suddenly, Darren broke free from the officers and lunged forward like a madman.

“Charlotte!”

“Charlotte!”

“Char—”

He doubled over, clutching his stomach as blood gushed from his mouth.

The taste of iron flooded his tongue, mingling with a bitterness that cut deeper than any wound. “Charlotte… you foolish woman…”

Downtown, inside a speeding Ferrari.

Bradley stared at his own wrist on the steering wheel, the bright red bracelet stark against the darkness.

He was silent for a long time before his voice finally, deeply broke the quiet. “Lotty, don’t you have anything to ask me?”

Charlotte kept her eyes on the road, her words cool and measured. “Herbert Nelson works for you, doesn’t he?”

Bradley’s grip on the wheel jerked. In that moment, he realized she’d broken through his firewalls, uncovered the secrets he’d tried so hard to bury.

“Lotty, I know my intentions weren’t pure at first, but I’m certain now—my feelings for you are real…”

“If you’re willing to give me your heart, I’ll never lie to you again. I’ll never hide anything from you. I’ll never let anyone hurt you again. I—”

“Keep it.”

Charlotte cut him off.

She leaned back against the seat, her face unreadable. “I don’t have a heart left to give. How could I possibly give it to someone else? So, take your feelings back.”

“…?”

Bradley stared at her in disbelief, his voice trembling. “You… don’t have a heart… what does that mean?”

Charlotte answered at her own pace. “I’ve seen your past, Bradley. I’ve felt your years of patience and hatred. My eyes sting just thinking about it.”

“But my emotions are calm. I know that sympathy, pity, love, vengeance—they’re all temporary. For me, there’s no sense in getting tangled up in these fleeting grievances. They mean nothing in the scope of my life.”
