Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 257

When he spoke, it was a plea wrapped in a command, his voice seemingly laced with a spell, capturing Drusilla's undivided attention.

The only one in my heart and on my mind...

She echoed his words in her heart, suddenly feeling deflated, "I can't do that."

If it were the old her, faced with someone she liked, who liked her back, she would have joyfully given herself to them. But now, she was scared...

She had been through a divorce and was deeply wounded. How could she dare to make the same mistake again?

Enoch looked at her, suddenly reminded of Harlan and of their marriage.

Remembering how she spoke of Harlan with such disdain.

Curiously, he asked, "Did you love him when you were married to Harlan?"

Drusilla's face darkened. "Can you not ask something so disgusting? Enoch, I just had lunch. You surely don't want me to throw up, do you?"

"Did you love him?" Enoch persisted.

"I'm out of here!" Drusilla stood up, ready to leave, but Enoch grabbed her arm, pulling her back into an embrace, asking, "You still love him, don't you?"

Drusilla felt a sharp pain in her heart, tears threatening to fall, "No."

With Drusilla sitting in his embrace, Enoch felt as if his heart was being squeezed too. Seeing her cry was unbearably painful for him.

After a while, Drusilla heard his voice above her, "I'm so jealous."

Drusilla paused.

He continued in a deep tone, "Jealous that he was once loved by you!"

Drusilla lifted her head to look at Enoch, who was gazing back at her, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe her tears, his brows furrowing slightly. "Stop crying, it's my fault. I won't ask again!"

Drusilla took his handkerchief, trying hard to dry her tears. She sniffled, "I'm sorry, Enoch, I didn't want to be like this. It's just... I couldn't help it! You'll never understand what happened between Harlan and me. I never expected anyone to truly stand in my shoes, to understand my thoughts. Who really empathizes with another? People are more likely to laugh at my foolishness, calling me naive."
