Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 866

The raw dislike in Valarie's eyes stabbed at Tom's heart like a sharp knife, and the pain radiated through him, nearly overwhelming him.

Tom began, "Valarie, I didn't understand my own feelings five years ago and did a lot of hurtful things to you. For the past five years abroad, I've thought about you every day. Valarie, I actually-" Valarie cut him off, "Tom, you're not about to say some nonsense about loving me, are you?"

Tom froze, guilt and affection flooding his expression as he looked at her.

"Valarie, can't you give me another chance?" he asked. "I promise I'll cherish you and won't make you sad again."

"Tom, you're overestimating yourself. I won't feel sad for you anymore. Your so-called love is just self-indulgence." Valarie's eyes showed no sign of softening.

"If you really loved me, would you have been in bed with another woman? Would you come to me now and ask for another chance while I'm seeing someone else?" she demanded. "If I were to get back together with you, how would I be any different from the person you were five years ago?"

She had lost all faith in him the moment she caught him cheating back then. Just looking at him now made her feel disgusted.

Tom's face paled, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Valarie, I know I made mistakes, and I understand that it's hard for you to forgive me right now," he said, trying to persuade her. "But I can wait. One day, you'll realize I'm the one who's truly right for you."
