The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)

Chapter 620 Forcing Her to Face Her Feelings

"What are you trying to say?" Zachary pressed a hand against the wall, effectively

trapping Sophia in front of him.

"Sophia, look at me. I know what you're afraid of. I know your past-every

struggle, and every hardship. You went through it all with me by your side.

"I understand your pain better than anyone. I ache for you more than anyone else

ever could. I want to protect you, to cherish you. Give me a chance, please.

"If there's even a little bit of affection, even the smallest flicker of feeling for me in

your heart, then give me this chance. Give yourself a chance too. Alright?"

His intense and unwavering gaze burned into hers. "We've known each other for

years. I won't make empty promises, and I won't swear on things that don't matter.

I'll prove myself with my actions.

"My feelings for you are real. I want to take care of you, to be with you, and to

never leave your side.

"Sophia, take a gamble. One last time.

"I won't let you hurt again. Trust me."

People said that companionship was the longest confession of love. In all these

years, he never had another woman by his side.

Even as a doctor, she was the only patient he ever truly cared for.

"Sophia, can you be a little braver?" He leaned in slightly and said in a coaxing

"voice, "You just need to answer me honestly. Do you have even a little bit of love

for me?

"You don't have to do much. Just stand where you are and wait for me to come to

you. Just take one step toward me after I've taken 99 steps toward you."
