The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 220

Book 3 Chapter 56

~WILLOW~

One second passes. Then another. And another. I see the moment my words finally hit Dante, striking him.

I wait to see his reaction. It was slow at first but I was finally seeing the effect of my words.

I can see the shock on his face as he tries to come to terms with my confession.

My lips part when he stops the jeep in the middle of the road without a care in the world. Luckily, there was no one behind us.

He slowly turns to look at me, and I can see the disbelief in his eyes. “What did you just say?”

He doesn’t want to believe he’d heard me correctly. It makes me scared to repeat my words.

Dante always claims that everything he does for me is to fulfill his promises to my sister. This time, it can’t possibly have any links to her. He couldn’t get upset just because I liked someone else. She didn’t ask him to prevent me from liking someone other than him. She asked him to marry me and protect me. That was all. If he was angry with me because of what I’d said, it would have nothing to do with Anya.
