Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Mrs. Li, The CEO’s Wife (2)

If Phoebe Miller is a swan, then she is an ugly duckling. Once having had the swan, how could he accept the disparity and suddenly cling to her, the ugly duckling?

Could it really be because of Axel?

If it’s because of the child, she would rather Bryan Hawkins not accept her, as she couldn’t bear such kindness.

"Yes, she’s very outstanding, but you’re not bad either." Bryan Hawkins held her hand. "Carolline, my wife, in my eyes, you’re really no worse than her. Perhaps there’s a proverb called ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ that can attest to my feelings for you. From the moment I met you, I inexplicably had a good impression of you. I didn’t know it initially, but it was Matilda Ferguson’s constant reminders. I’m slow to grasp things, and it took me a long time to understand that what I unconsciously showed was called fondness."

"Afterward, due to her lack of self-confidence, Matilda Ferguson often deliberately mentioned you in front of me. Then, after our occasional encounters and later interactions, plus your sudden outburst and disappearance, my feelings for you gradually became clearer. So when I found out you were having a blind date at Flomoon Tea House, I impulsively rushed over. That moment I may have been impulsive, but I’ve never regretted it."

"As for Phoebe Miller, we parted amicably. I didn’t even know she had a twin sister named Felicia Miller until that party. Felicia Miller also had someone come look for me, Selina Fleming, Phoebe Miller’s assistant who asked me some questions. I made it clear to her that my past with Phoebe Miller was over and there’s no future, I love you. My wife, I’m with you because I love you, so don’t overthink things, alright? If there’s any issue, let’s solve it together; let’s not make the same mistake, alright?"

Carolline looked at him for a long time before nodding.

She never expected Bryan Martin to be with her because of such deep love or that his fondness for her happened at the same time as hers. At their first encounter, she had a deep fondness for him as well, but at the time, he already had Matilda Ferguson as a girlfriend.

Later on, indeed, they went through so much. Now that they are finally together, she shouldn’t have any little temperaments. She should be more confident. Even if it’s Phoebe Miller or a princess of some country, she shouldn’t plan to let go.

"I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that at the time of our divorce, Joyce Lopez’s family was pressing for marriage. My grandpa and Joyce’s grandpa are good friends, and I didn’t want their relationship to be affected because of me, so I held that press conference announcing my decision not to marry. And I claimed that my love for Phoebe Miller was engraved in my heart since she was a celebrity, and many people already knew about our past. It wasn’t afraid of being scrutinized. I didn’t want anyone to disturb your peaceful days. I knew at that time, you needed tranquility."

"..." Carolline was deeply moved. She never thought that he said those things at the time because of her. Since they had been together, she rarely took the initiative, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms, asking, "Are you serious about what you said?"

"Silly, of course, I’m serious." Bryan Hawkins heard her so insecure voice. After saying so much, which part made her think he wasn’t serious?

He had never spoken so seriously about his inner thoughts with anyone before. Today, the opportunity came, so he spoke without thinking.

"Yes, I believe you. So remember, from now on, no matter who comes to find me or what happens, I won’t let you go unless you tell me personally that you don’t want me," Carolline said solemnly as she looked up at him from his embrace.
