Chapter 489: Chapter 505: So It’s Him (10)

If she hadn’t known, she could have turned around and left coldly, she could have persisted in her choices, she could have married someone else without scruples.

Now that he had let her know everything, how could she marry someone else?

How could she continue to be a bad Isabel Smith?

"You know, you make me feel like I’m so disgusting, you make me feel like I hate myself so much..."

"It doesn’t matter... as long as I like you... I’m the only one in this world who can like you. You don’t need to be my love rival."

"It’s so annoying... How can you have no self-esteem for an Isabel Smith? How can you let go of so much for her...?" Isabel Smith started hitting Percy Stanton’s chest with more force.

He clearly loved her... But why did she feel so worthless for him? Why did she feel so angry for him?

Were his eyes blind? Why did he choose Isabel Smith of all people?

This was... infuriating!

Percy Stanton did not react and let Isabel Smith hit him until she lost her strength. Only when she clung to his collar and started to cry in his arms did he raise his hand to stroke her hair, speaking as if he was deeply annoyed, "Isabel... Self-esteem has already cost me so many chances with you."

Isabel Smith was somewhat puzzled.

Percy Stanton closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Images of past events floated in his mind.

Six years ago, his pride got in the way; she left, and he pretended not to care. That was their first missed opportunity.

When they met again, his pride interfered once more. He heard her call him Mr. Stanton, but never asked if she remembered him. That was their second missed opportunity.

Not long ago, they argued over investigation materials, and his pride went into play again. He took his son and returned to Ravenwood City, which led to the fetal death in utero of their child. That was their third missed opportunity.

Strike three and you’re out, yet he already had three chances. Perhaps even if the heavens gave him an opportunity now, he has exhausted them all.

So, starting now, the first thing he needed to do was to stop missing out.

I love you more than the ends of the earth and beyond the seas.

When Charlotte Wood said these words, was her mood the same as his now?

Isabel Smith’s sobs had quieted down, but her body still occasionally trembled slightly. Percy held Isabel in his arms, not speaking nor making any other actions, just simply holding her.

It was unknown how long it had been when Isabel finally came to herself from the excitement brought by Percy’s earlier words. Her voice heavy with a nasal tone, she called out, "Percy?"

No one answered her.

Isabel furrowed her eyebrows, raising her head to see that the man was holding her with his eyes closed, as if asleep.

His peaceful expression was like the most beautiful painting in the world. His long eyelashes curled slightly, and Isabel Smith couldn’t help but raise her hand, gently touching his eyelashes.

He seemed to be very tired, sleeping soundly, and did not have any reaction to her actions.

Isabel’s fingertips lightly twined Percy’s eyelashes, and then carefully laid her head on his chest. Listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, she thought of the words he just said. A sour feeling spread in her heart, and she murmured softly, "Percy, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to forget what you looked like... There was just too much happening at that time, and I didn’t know what was going on with me... And then I just forgot..."

Ever since Isabel discovered that Percy was the man she had once longed for, she had always had many things she wanted to tell him, but she was afraid.

Now, he was asleep, and she was back in his arms. She found a sense of warm belonging, a feeling she had never experienced this winter, lying alone in bed.
