Chapter 357: Chapter 371: Proposal Gift (5)

He had a child himself before getting married, and he worried about whether Isabel would mind, but he was confident enough to think that he could make Isabel not mind Raymond’s existence and fall in love with him.

However, it wasn’t until he saw the photo of Isabel pregnant that he understood the feeling of jealousy, as if he had been soaked in a vat of vinegar, feeling uncomfortable and suffocated.

And then, at that moment, he felt that having a Raymond was such a disservice to Isabel.

When a person is controlled by jealousy, their brain shuts down, and all he could hope for was that this was a joke.

Indeed, Isabel quickly dissolved the impact of the photo on him, and he thought it was a joke too.

Moreover, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his subconscious didn’t want the existence of Isabel’s pregnancy.

He knew that such subconscious hopes were selfish, but they were real, weren’t they?

Everyone is like that, able to accept having a child themselves, but minding deeply when their loved one has a child with someone else.

The more love, the more jealousy.

But what about now?

Evelyn Osbert told him a cruel story, in which the heroine was his lifelong beloved, carrying a child for the man she loved...

Hahaha...Percy Stanton, who had been driving calmly all the time, suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter, though, didn’t sound happy at all. It circulated inside the car before returning to his ears.

Even he himself found it somewhat creepy.

Percy kept laughing as if it was really funny, eventually bringing tears to his eyes. They slid down his cheeks, fell onto his neck, and itched. He raised his hand and couldn’t help but touch them, feeling their wetness. Then, suddenly, he froze, and his laughter stopped.

It was so sad...so sad...

Thousands, tens of thousands of times sadder than when he first saw Isabel’s pregnant photo.

In fact, when they first reunited after parting, he took her without a second thought, knowing she wasn’t a first-timer...

That day, after she left, he stood in his Office Room for a night, smoking cigarettes and struggling with his thoughts. In the end, he concluded that he still wanted to be with her.

Actually, it really didn’t matter if she didn’t love him, or if her first time wasn’t with him, or even if she truly loved someone else and had a child for someone else. It didn’t matter that much...

Really, it didn’t matter that much.

At most, he’d be sad for a while, then gradually let go.

It was all because he loved her, right?

But he really couldn’t accept...that his deep affection was nothing but a joke to someone else.

Isabel had a lover and even carried a child for him. What did she have to do with him?

What he feared most had eventually become a reality. Six years ago, he was merely a game for Isabel on a whim...

It turned out that in this love affair, all along, he was the only one with wishful thinking...

All this time, he thought he was incredibly powerful. In business, he could easily conquer. He could double the salaries of tens of thousands of employees, control the happiness of many people’s lives, and he thought love was just a matter between two people, so how could he not control it?

But now...he realizes that all this time, he’s either overestimated himself or underestimated love.

Although he’s still maintaining his pride and dignity, he knows that he’s utterly defeated.

Percy continued to speed up, driving the car, his mind filled with his thoughts, completely oblivious to the buzzing vibration of his mobile phone nearby.

...

Isabel and Mrs. Smith came down from the private booth on the sixth floor together.
