The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 809

James looked into Erin’s eyes and smiled. “I like it that you’re upset.”

It means that she cared about him, and that she did not want to share his body with other women.

Erin lowered her head, her voice unwittingly turning raspy. “You’re so annoying.”

James tenderly reached out with his arms to hold her.

This time, she did not push him away, but she grabbed him by the collar instead as she forced back her tears.

She was failing, even as she sobbed. “Could you not? Please don’t make this difficult for me.”

Her shoulders were shaking and her tears started to roll, and she leaned against his chest. “I-I don’t deserve to be with you…”

James held her tightly then and kissed her hair and her cheek before whispering beside her ear, “You gave me your first time to me. I had you in your purest state.”

“No, I’ve been defiled…”

“Shush.”

James pressed a finger on her lips. “It’s in the past, and I’ve punished the people who hurt you. They’ll spend the rest of their lives in jail, and I’ve instructed their jailmates to make sure that they wish they were dead.”
