Chapter289
Ophelia was a bit impatient and said, “Sorry. I don’t have anything important to discuss with you. Please move aside and don’t block the
way!”
Seeing that Cullen remained motionless, she couldn’t be bothered to waste time on him and intended to walk around him.
Cullen became anxious, “Ophelia!”
He reached out to grab her.
Ophelia’s pretty face darkened as she swiftly grabbed his wrist and twisted it fiercely!
“Ah-!” Cullen immediately let out a terrible scream, drawing the attention of many people around him.
Ophelia disdainfully threw his hand away and said with disgust, “Get away from me, don’t touch me, I find it dirty!”
Thinking about how many times he had rolled with Bessie, she truly felt disgusted!
Cullen clutched his painfully injured hand, and his face looked extremely pale.
If it had been in the past, he would have definitely left in a fit of rage, but now, it just couldn’t be the case.
Seeing that Ophelia ignored him and was preparing to leave without looking back, he hurriedly caught up to her and lowered his voice, saying, “Ophelia, I regretted it. Can we get back together, okay?!”
The astonishing words made Ophelia suddenly stop in her tracks.
Lenora looked at Cullen in shock and hurriedly pulled her cousin, feeling a bit anxious.
Her cousin’s husband was so good; how could she not dismiss that scumbag by a hundred times? Her cousin couldn’t be deceived!
Ophelia gestured for her not to worry, then turned around and looked at Cullen, “What did you say?”
Cullen saw that she had really stopped, and his heart filled with joy. boosting his confidence.
Sure enough, he thought correctly; she still couldn’t let go of him and still liked him!
So I made an effort to soften my voice and said, “Ophelia, I was wrong before. I actually didn’t like Bessie at all, nor did I like Adalynn. Bessie was the one who had been actively seducing me, and I needed the power of her family for my own, which forced me to sell my marriage.”
“In my heart, there had always been only you; it was just that the me from before was too dull to realize it.”
He gazed at Ophelia with deep affection. He had not noticed it before, but now, looking at the girl’s astonishingly beautiful face, he felt his heart
race.
He realized that he was not lying, he had genuinely, unconsciously fallen in love with her!
“Ophelia, I apologized to you for the past, you forgave me, and we got back together, okay?”
“My mom said that she didn’t mind your background and was willing to accept you, as long as you agreed…”
“Cullen!” Ophelia suddenly spoke up, interrupting his increasingly passionate confession.
She looked at him with a shocked and mocking expression, “Who gave you the confidence to say these things to me?”
She was truly astonished. How could Cullen have the audacity to say such a ridiculous thing?
Not to mention anything else, just that sentence where he said he didn’t mind her background and was willing to accept her–his tone, as if it were a charity or a gift, made her feel so disgusted that she almost threw up!
“Let me remind you, your mother looked down on my background? She didn’t deserve it before, and she doesn’t deserve it now!”
“Back then, your dad was just an illegitimate son of the Pruitt family, and she was the wife of an illegitimate son. What right did they have to look down on me, someone with a proper background?”
