Chapter 1204: Chapter 1183: I Can Castrate Myself to Show My Determination!

Maya never expected the man to utter such self-critical words; indeed, his realization was truly impressive. Alas, her heart was already calm and undisturbed.

"Some things are said too late. They’re past their expiration date and are better left unsaid!"

If only six years earlier he had spoken such words, there would be no talk of a reunion. Now, it was too late. "I’m past the age of caring about such things, Mr. Stones. Save them for someone who’s willing to listen!"

"Maya..."

Graham Stones struggled to articulate a complete sentence. She was deeply wounded by his former flirty nature, and all his sweet nothings, even vows of eternal love, had turned into mere flattery. "Whether you’re willing to believe me or accept me, it won’t stop me from proving my feelings!"

If she didn’t believe him, then he would just have to prove himself trustworthy. Roy Thompson and Bella Gordon, childhood sweethearts in a long-distance relationship, were doubted by everyone initially. Yet they proved their love could withstand the test of time and separation. Now, with three children, they were happier than anyone.

To attain happiness, one must give sincerity. "To exchange heart for heart" is precisely that principle.

Maya paid him no attention, her eyes firmly shut as if his words were not meant for her. This time, Graham didn’t speak further about his inner feelings because he knew this woman had completely lost trust in him. Any word from his lips was sweet flattery, a ghost story meant to deceive naive young girls.

Silence lasted until they disembarked from the airplane. Maya grabbed her luggage and walked out, having heard nothing from him. She thought by giving him the cold shoulder for the entire flight and showing a poker face throughout, he wouldn’t be able to take it since he was always the one who sulked at others.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to get into a taxi, just as she began to close the door, the man rushed in swiftly behind her, shut the door, and smoothly said to the driver, "Let’s go, driver!"

Maya: "..."

"Mr. Stones, we’re not going to the same place. It’s inconvenient to share a ride. You should stick with your car that came to pick you up!"

"This is Andras City, not Corda City. I don’t have a driver here!"

The man looked at her deeply, his gaze growing darker. "Not only do I not have a driver, I don’t even have a place to stay; so, I’m staying at my wife and child’s house tonight!"

Maya: "..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hearing this, the taxi driver himself couldn’t help choking on his saliva. These kinds of things usually meant a man wronged a woman and now was sticking close, acting pitiful to beg for forgiveness. "Sir, that’s not how you chase a woman. Those tricks are six years old. If you pursue your wife like this, I guarantee you’ll only drive your wife and kids further away!"

Uh?

Tricks from six years ago?

"Master, you’re really insightful. That was indeed the approach I used to chase my wife six years ago. That’s exactly how I won her over!"

Thinking back to those times now, the scenes are still vivid. He was at a charity auction, and she was a zither performer invited by the organizers. Having lost interest in the auction items, his excitement came back the moment he saw her descend like a fairy in white. Especially during the performance of the zither piece "High Mountains and Running Water," which was like the sound of heaven. Thus, she caught his eye.

That event exploded across the media. The notoriously licentious Young Master Stones, after the performance of "High Mountains and Running Water," raised his auction paddle and declared, "This woman is mine. No one else should compete with me. No matter how much you bid, I will have her!"

At those words, the room erupted not out of admiration for Young Master Stones’s boldness or generosity, but because...

"I’m sorry, Young Master Stones, but she is a zither performer we’ve invited. We’re in a modern society; it’s illegal to auction human rights!"

When the host spoke, the entire room almost boiled over with people whispering and mocking him. Such debauchery and lacking decorum was probably the first public embarrassment for Graham in his life. Reflecting on it now, he found it mortifying, though he didn’t seem to feel any embarrassment at the time, rather...

"Who says I want to auction off such a beautiful woman? A beautiful and talented lady like her is meant to be pursued, not auctioned, right?"

He spoke with such self-righteousness, "I mean, I’m taken with this beautiful lady, and I intend to win her over, to cherish her like a princess. Only a man who can spoil a woman deserves to pursue such a lovely lady. So, she’s mine. If you know what’s good for you, don’t compete with me!"

Turning black into white and changing truths as if it were nothing - that was him, Young Master Stones declaring his intention for the piano lady, throwing down the gauntlet – whoever competed with him would be unlucky!

From then on, his excuse for sticking to her was, "You’ve already been publicly labeled as mine. Where do you think you can escape to?"

His thoughts snapped back to the present, and he subconsciously glanced at the woman beside him, who seemed absent-minded. He hurriedly continued, "Since my wife and child left, I haven’t chased any other woman, so all I have left are the tricks from six years ago!"

Maya: "..."

So all this talk was him trying to express his deep affection for her, huh? This man really dared to speak!

"Young man, she’s already your wife and you let her slip away for six years. That proves you’re no different from a good-for-nothing!"

As soon as he said that, the driver quickly added, "Since I got married, my wife hasn’t wanted to be apart from me for a second. Even when I come home late from driving the taxi, she misses me so much she can’t eat. A real man makes himself indispensable to a woman. The man begging for a woman’s forgiveness is fundamentally a scumbag!"

Maya: "..."

This driver’s words hit the nail on the head with a mouth so piercing.

"Cough, cough, I agree with you, Master. I was a scumbag before, but to show I’m a good man now..."

He was speaking to the driver, but his gaze was fixed unwaveringly on the woman. "I’m willing to undergo castration as a sign of my commitment!"

Maya: "..."

Speechless, she couldn’t think of any other words to describe her mood at the moment.

"Castration will only make you more of a scumbag, don’t you think? You tie a woman to your name but can’t sexually satisfy her. Is there anything more despicable in this world than forcing your own wife to live as a widow?"

Graham Stones: "..."

So the real masters of flirtation were out here among the common folk!
