Chapter 183 Questioning His Love
Chapter 183 Questioning His Love
Why was he questioning her?
She was just trying to save her own child. Did she do anything wrong?
Stefan was so shocked that he could not even utter one word.
He wanted to say something, but there seemed to be a lump in his throat that choked him.
Though he hated to admit it, what Martha said was true. He could never argue with that.
Dead silence reigned over the car.
Even their breathing was clear to the ears.
After a long while, Martha added calmly, "Even if Rhys wasn't involved, even if the deal never existed,
we would get divorced either way."
Their divorce had nothing to do with other people.
Stefan could not help clenching the steering wheel. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? Why can't you
give me..."
Before he could finish the sentence, Martha interrupted him drily.
She knew what he was going to say.
Why couldn't she give him another chance?
"I don't love you anymore, Stefan."
It was not the first time she had said this to Stefan, but he seemed to refuse to accept it.
Maybe he was trying to fool himself. Maybe he really didn't believe it.novelbin
But Martha still felt it necessary to tell him.
"I don't love you anymore. Don't you get it?"
If she didn't love him anymore, how could they spend the rest of their lives together?
Stefan seemed quite disappointed.
He thought he still had a chance of getting her back as long as their marriage lasted.
But the heartless way in which she treated him cut him to the quick.
He stared into her eyes, hoping to find a trace of emotion in them. Even a trace of hate would be
counted as a comfort for him.
But... there was only honesty and indifference. The brightness that once was in them was long gone.
With haste, Stefan answered, "But I love you."
Love?
Martha slightly shook her head and smiled without saying anything.
If he had told her so four years ago, maybe they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Did it still matter whether he loved her or not?
Faced with the irony in her eyes, Stefan seemed to recall a time when he was all she could see. He
could always see the deep affection in her eyes back then.
He couldn't help reaching out his hands and fondled her face. This time, she didn't avoid his touch.
His eyes grew darker.
He leaned to her and asked softly in her ear, "What should I do to make you love me again?"
The warm breath fell on Martha's ear, but there was not a single change on her face.
She remained detached. Not a trace of joy or anger could be observed.
Love him again? How?
Her love for him had been exhausted since four years ago. There was no way she could love him
again.
Martha slightly shook her head and asked with a faint smile, "Are you sure what you mean is love?"
Hearing that, Stefan could hardly breathe.
Was she questioning his love?
It felt like his heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife.
Martha seemed to know it all, "Maybe the feeling that you have for me is just guilt, just like what you
had for Hollie. It means protection, promise, but not love."
The most basic love means no harm.
Stefan looked into her eyes and said seriously, "No, I know what my heart wants. I love you."
Martha was not moved, while Stefan stared at her with his loving eyes and continued, "I have no idea
since when, I began to think about you all the time, want to see you all the time... I think, you are the
one I love in the beginning."
In the beginning... These three words were rather surprising for Martha.
She almost forgot what she and he were like in the beginning.
She smiled, "Do you remember when we first met?'
Stefan nodded.
Of course, he remembered.
The first time they met, she was wearing a dress and was walking down the staircase like a little
princess.
She walked toward him with apparent happiness and smiled, "Big brother, you are so good-looking!"
Had she forgotten it?
