Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 226

Chapter 226 People Change

"Dakato is my ex-wife!" Faris blurted out.

I stared at him, genuinely shocked, but then it all started to click.

Faris and Dakato had that vibe of a couple with history, so it made sense they were once married.

Thinking back to the intense look Dakato gave Faris and her words at the bar, "If you need, I don't mind," she never said, "I still love you," or did anything dramatic, but her deep-seated feelings could be felt. "She still loves you. Don't let down a woman who loves you with all her heart," I said softly, leaning against the car window.

Faris suddenly leaned over, turned my shoulders to face him, and looked at me seriously, almost pleadingly.

"What about a guy who loves you with all his heart? Can you give him a chance?"

I didn't answer, couldn't even meet his eyes.

I'd been hurt too much, and I didn't want to hurt anyone else.

Faris seemed to get it, gave a bitter smile, and let go of me.

He leaned back, opened his window, and lit a cigarette, looking all kinds of melancholic. "If you don't have that person in your heart, no matter what he does, you won't see it. So how can you talk about letting him down?" I looked away, feeling a wave of sadness.

I thought, 'Maybe that's it. Is that why Ethan doesn't have me in his heart? It feels like he's stabbing me with a knife when he says those hurtful things, yet he stays so calm.'

"If you don't have anywhere to go right now, you can crash at my place."

Faris added with a self-deprecating laugh, "I won't try anything, promise."

I shook my head, "Thanks, but I'll check out The Emoire Artistry Group. Right now, it's the only thing that can prove I'm not a failure." "Hold on a sec."

I was about to open the car door when he stopped me.

Then Faris drove to the mall, told me to wait in the car, and went inside to park.

After a bit, he came back.

He opened my door and pulled out a pair of women's flat leather shoes from a shoebox, really fancy ones that looked pricey.

He squatted down, took my foot, and started putting the shoes on for me.

That's when I realized I wasn't wearing any shoes.

"I can do it myself."

I tried to pull my foot back, but Faris held it firmly, not letting me, and put the shoes on for me.
