“If I really want to keep the Chamberlains off my back, I’ll have to pick someone who’s nowhere near Ryan’s league. Just a regular guy. That way, Fiona won’t have anything to be bitter about–she’ll probably feel all superior and won’t even bother comparing herself to me anymore,” I said, keeping my tone cool.
Edward’s icy voice rang out behind me, sharp and unyielding. “Don’t you dare!”
The next moment, I caught the cool scent of pine as Edward stepped up right behind me, his presence looming as we both stared out at the banyan trees. His tone was steely, leaving no room for argument. “Are you really going to make me watch you marry someone else, just so I can play the fool who sets up your happiness?”
I stared at him in shock. Edward towered over me, his gaze intense as he looked down. “You might as well stab me in the heart. What’s the difference?”
“Mr. Jennings, I’m basically a walking disaster right now,” I said, half–joking but dead serious. Honestly, I can’t believe Edward would ever really want to be with me–even if he keeps acting like some hungry wolf circling his prey.
Just earlier, Jeffrey saw me and figured out what was going on between me and Ryan. So how could Edward ever let anyone else find out about that possessiveness he tries so hard to keep hidden?
“You’re not a ticking time bomb. You’re just someone who can’t control her own fate—a poor thing caught up in all this,” Edward sighed. Then he leaned against the window, meeting my gaze head–on. “I don’t agree with you marrying just some ordinary guy. Don’t you have two exes? They’re both doing well for themselves. Why not think about getting back with one of them?”
“I don’t want to drag them into any more trouble or drama,” I replied calmly.
Edward’s face grew even colder, like a layer of frost settling over his features. “Oh? Even after breaking up, your first instinct is still to protect them? Victoria, I think I finally get why your exes still can’t let you go. Because loving you… it’s actually a wonderful thing.”
My eyes burned, as if they’d been rubbed with sand, and a wave of indescribable
