Chapter 215
I choked back tears and handed him a tissue. Leland, can you please not do this? Don’t cry. In the future, I will quit the habit of eating shrimp, just like I quit you. I can definitely do it.”
Leland wiped away his tears and continued peeling the shrimp. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I betrayed your trust, I betrayed your love!”
I cried and shook my head, “No! It’s not true, Leland, you are also great. It was you who taught me to be a daring entrepreneur, to be willing to take risks and try. Without your care and education, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am very grateful to you.”
“But… but I still lost you, I lost my dearest person, Kaylie. I know you will never forgive me!” Leland said, covering his face with both hands, in unbearable pain.
He, an adult, cried so loudly and uncontrollably like a child, and I couldn’t help but feel both amused and pained at the same time.
I stood up and went to his side.
“Leland, you never used to cry, don’t be like this. You know, you have always been a strong person. You shouldn’t be upset because of me, because of a failed marriage.”
But the more he said that, the sadder I became, and I cried with him.
He held me in his arms, and we cried with our heads buried.
He said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry for hurting you, I truly apologize.”
I said, “Let the past be the past, the Leland I know never complained about the hardships of the environment.”
He said, “I waited for you at the Perez’s villa for half a month and didn’t see you. I felt your pain once again, and I thought you would never see me again. Kay, you really don’t want me anymore, right?”
I nodded, “Yes, Leland, I don’t want you anymore, but you can’t give up. I want you to be better than me, to live a better life than me. I want you to always be my support!”
He raised his eyes, puzzled.
I explained, “If we can’t be husband and wife, let’s be friends, but you are my family, willing to have the family that I would give my life for.”
Leland choked up again, unable to speak.
I knew he was sincere, and after that meal, neither of us took another bite, but we cried for a long time.
The phone kept ringing, and I knew Allen was worried about me.
Leland helped me wipe away my tears and took a deep breath before speaking, “In the future, no matter who replaces me to take care of you, you must not lower yourself to please them. If someone you like hurts you, I will do whatever it takes to snatch you back.”
My tears fell again, Mr. Devil, I, I don’t want to get married anymore. I am very disappointed with marriage. You are so excellent, you treat me so well,
you haven’t given me a lifetime of pride, How can I have any illusions about marriage again?”
