The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

hapter 304 Forced Responsibility

Chapter 304 Forced Responsibility

Simon shouted in rage,“John, you’re nothing but a goddamn animal! Lizzy is seriously ill, and you dared to hit her? You dared to force yourself on her like that? You took away her first time. You have to take responsibility!”

Elsa clutched the blanket around her bruised and battered body, her eyes lowered like a broken red rose— beautiful, proud, and painfully fragile.

My only wish left in this life… is to marry John…”

Simon had already believed John should marry Elsa after what happened. But hearing her say that out loud made him even more forceful.

“You must marry Lizzy. As soon as the City Hall reopens after the holidays, you and Lizzy are getting a marriage certificate.”

“I’m not getting a marriage certificate with her…”

John couldn’t stop the thought–if he married Elsa, there would be no way Lily would ever forgive him. Every part of him rejected the idea on instinct.

After a pause, he continued, “I’ve already given her a wedding ceremony before. She doesn’t have much time left, and I’ll stay with her until the end.

I’ll also compensate her financially. If she wants shares in Jones Corp, fine. But I won’t marry her.”

“John, what did you just say?”

Elsa’s eyes widened in disbelief and humiliation.

I was sure that John, being a man of responsibility, would never walk away after we slept together. He had to take responsibility.

But now, I was his woman, and he still refused to marry me?

What good was that empty wedding without a name or legal status?

What I wanted was to become Mrs Jones–to be his lawfully wedded wife, protected by the system.

“Elsa, I’m truly sorry for what happened last night.”
