Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 297

"Have you? After that night, during all these days we've spent together, has your heart ever beat for me?" Shawn asked.

She was silent.

"If you don't answer, I'll see it as a silent acknowledgment that you.., love me."

Gale pursed her lips, forcing out an ugly smile. "Does that even matter? If you love me and I love you, would we be able to be together?"

"I want to know your answer."

As long as she said that she loved him, then he would be able to jump into the fire, ignoring everything else!

Shawn's eyes were locked on her. "You've had feelings for me before, Gale. I refuse to believe that your heart is made of stone. You tried so hard to protect the child. It's because you developed feelings for me that night, right?" "No!"

Shawn said, "Yes! Even though you've never said it, I could tell that you've been waiting for the man from that night to appear. You wanted the man to take you away, and he gave you hope! Now, I'm the man from that night!"

Gale answered, "The one I love is the man who had been so gentle to me the whole night. It was the man who whispered into my ears, promising to marry me. He was a responsible and gentlemanly man! It's not you, Shawn, a terrifying and selfish man!"

Those words pierced Shawn right in his heart again.

"I hate you, Shawn. It's not the first time I've told you this, so how could you think that I love you?" Gale laughed and said, "It's a joke! Who would fall in love with their enemy? How could I fall in love with the person who ruined my whole life?!"
