Chapter 1305
When Shirley saw Xavier's pained expression, she hung her head guiltily.
"I'm sorry.I didn't expect that affair to hurt you that much..."
"You didn't expect it?"
Xavier scoffed, feeling like he had just heard the world's funniest joke.He said sarcastically, "You werethe woman I adored but you seduced my father for the sake of resources.How could you say that youdidn't expect it to hurt me?"
It had happened long ago, and he had kept it buried deep in his heart.
Now, that pain had resurfaced again.
The incident had traumatized him so much that he lost all faith in relationships, and didn't believe inpure love anymore.
"You were the first person I gave my heart to.I adored you and doted on you like you were my child.Iwent against my principles so many times because of you, and the whole of Beach City laughed at mefor being a kiss-ass.But I never once regretted it.I felt that you would be touched one day, and that youwould sincerely accept me.But in the end...not only was it all not enough for you, you decided to sleepin my father's bed instead.Now you dare to say that I ruined you?"
Xavier's gaze was cold and untrusting as he raised her chin and examined her coldly.
"A beautiful face...but such a black heart!"
"No, that's not it.Xavier...Listen to me.It's not what you think,"
Shirley sobbed, sounding remorseful.
"I admit that I did get close to your father for resources, but I only wanted to get stronger so I could beworthy of you.I knew that your family was powerful and influential, and they wouldn't accept a merecelebrity, so I wanted to become a capitalist too.If I made a name for myself, then maybe I could dreamof being on your level..."
"So, you slept with my father in order to get me? Points for creativity, I never would have figured thatout.I thought I was open-minded, but for some reason, I can't seem to accept a disgusting act like this!"
"No, I never wanted to have anything to do with your father.I just...manipulated a human's weaknessand made him show interest in me, so he would help me with my career.That accident happenedbecause someone framed me.They added something into my drink, so your father and I...When yourushed back, you saw that scene."
Shirley clenched her fists.
"You helped me to my current position, and in the process, many female artists' resources weretampered with.They wanted to see you fall out with me, so they purposely plotted againstme.Xavier...you have to trust me.Although my motive wasn't exactly right, I have my limits too.You'rethe only one I care about, and I only want to be with you.Can you forgive me?"
Shirley cried and held his hand.
"We still have a lot of dreams to fulfill.You sacrificed so much for me over the years, I know that.Anyonewould be touched by whatever you've done, even someone like me...I'm deeply in love with you, andalways have been.Can you forgive me? Can we start over?"
"Dream on!"
Xavier pushed her hand away in disgust.
"I'm not so dumb to want a wicked woman.You should be grateful for your looks; your gentle and weakfront tricked me, giving me the stupid impression that you were the love of my life.But I've learned mylesson now, so nothing will happen between us, no matter what you say."
"No, that's not the case.You can't accept it temporarily.You still care about me, or else, you wouldn't beso worried about me," Shirley said desperately.
"I won't ask for much.I just want to go back to how things were in the past.We weren't a couple, but atthe very least, we were best friends.You wouldn't be distant with me, and you treated me like a sister,encouraging and consoling me.You even helped me figure out my career path.I honestly didn’t expectyou to like me more than that.It'll be good if we can be friends again..."
She was a very smart woman.She knew that it was extremely hard to ask Xavier to accept her again,so she decided to advance slowly and start as friends first.
"Is it really that simple?" Xavier frowned and asked.novelbin
"Yes, it's as simple as that.We can be friends."
Shirley nodded and added, "You want me to let this thing with Leia go, don't you? If you're willing toforgive me and we go back to how things were, she'll be my friend too.If we're friends, it's normal thatwe may playfully push and shove each other.Of course, I won't hold her responsible for it."
