Chapter 378: Chapter 392: Proposal Gift (26)

She knew she could not hide this matter. If they could truly be together, she would admit it. However, he was like a tormentor, cruelly excavating her pitiful and dismal past. What was the point of that?

Even, she wondered, what did Percy Stanton think when he saw all these investigative materials?

How did he feel when he saw her, pregnant, lugging heavy trash to the Trash Can?

What was he feeling when he saw that in the hospital, where every pregnant woman had company, she was alone and waiting?

Did he have sympathy for her, or pity her?

Or, did he despise her because of her past?

For Isabel Smith, in an instant, the distance between Percy Stanton and herself seemed to have grown infinitely distant, so far that she felt she would never be able to stand by his side in this life.

She felt as if she was standing naked in front of Percy Stanton, even though she was clearly dressed.

A sourness welled up in the corners of Isabel Smith’s eyes. With a look as pale as death, she looked at Percy Stanton and said, "All you men are the same, just looking to have fun with pretty women... Once you’ve had your fill, you abandon them..."

"Choosing someone else would have been the same, maybe they wouldn’t treat me as well, or maybe I wouldn’t live as comfortably as I do now, but they wouldn’t disrespect me, would they?"

"I must have been blind to have chosen you back then..."

With each sentence from Isabel Smith, Percy Stanton’s face turned paler and paler.

He remained silently, yet his heart churned with her words.

He had wanted to play the best role in Isabel Smith’s world, so how had he ended up being the worst existence?

For anyone, the most hurtful thing to hear is, ’I was blind to have chosen you...’. This was regret.

Isabel Smith was now regretting... regretting having met him.

Percy Stanton’s heart suddenly calmed down. He quietly looked at her, his eyes pitch-black and alluring.

After a long time, he hooked his lips into a slow smile. His smile was stunning, his voice as gentle as water, "What a pity, isn’t it?"

Isabel Smith did not speak.

"It’s truly a pity.. Isabel Smith had a lot to choose from, yet in the end, she chose Percy Stanton, right?"

To Percy Stanton, it felt like a knife had brutally impaled his heart. He wasn’t saint, he truly loved, but that didn’t mean he could handle everything flawlessly. Isabel Smith was his first love, he had lived to twenty-five without having a proper love relationship, stumbling and fumbling, learning how to love. He treaded carefully, strategizing every step, but in the end, one mistake led to a series of errors, resulting in this unredeemable situation.

Her anger, he could bear.

Because it was his fault.

However, her rejection left him feeling rather desolate. Were all his efforts over the years all knocked over?

If she beat him, or yelled at him, it was fine, but to say she regretted choosing him...

A sharp pain clenched in the depths of Percy Stanton’s heart, his whole body suddenly feeling tired.

Especially knowing that she was pregnant with the child of a man she loved, and had invited two men to her adulthood ceremony, the oppression of being played like a clown lingered in the bottom of his heart for a long time. In the end, he compromised and gave in, because of her.

All along, their love story was him constantly giving, while she remained indifferent.

Some thoughts in her head, if not for tonight when he detected them in her words, he might never know them for the rest of his life.

Originally, Isabel Smith chose him because of Smith Corporation, but now, even that decision, she regretted it...

In an instant, Percy Stanton swallowed back all the explanations he wanted to say to Isabel Smith.

Actually, there was no need for that, right?
