Chapter 525
He was stunned.
She then continued, “If… If someday I am pregnant and the White family hasn’t been settled yet, we don’t need to get married. You don’t have to marry me grandly. I can give birth to my child and protect our baby well. One day, when you feel safe, you can make it up to me!”
Callum was completely stunned. “You…”
“I’m not afraid of gossip. Those rumors can’t hurt me at all! What I want is your companionship for the rest of our lives, whether it’s good or bad!”
Her voice was crisp, and her gaze was firm.
Callum suddenly held Lillian in his arms tightly.
Lillian was stronger and braver than he had imagined. He underestimated her so much that he thought she needed his careful protection, but he did not expect that she could be independent.
“I just realized that the woman I fell in love with is so amazing!” Callum said with a smile, “It’s great to fall in love with you!”
He only wished that he could support her in the future and make her happy forever.
Rosalie did not expect Jonathan to take her to the memorial hall of the Youngblood residence.
That was the memorial hall where Jonathan’s father was enshrined. Rosalie had only been there twice before.
Even though Jonathan brought her there, he did not say a word. He lowered his eyes and stared at the photo. However, his hand held hers firmly, which made her unable to leave.
“Why did you bring me here? What do you want to do?” she asked.
“Do you remember what you said to me when you were here?” he said slowly.
She choked, and those memories of the past appeared before her again.
“It has been a long time. I don’t remember,” she said. Even though that sentence was a lie at that moment, she would also forget about it one day.
She would forget everything about him.
“Don’t you remember?” He suddenly chuckled. His voice was a little loud in the memorial hall. “But I remember it clearly.”
As Jonathan spoke, he slowly turned around, and his dark eyes stared at her face.
She was a little uncomfortable as Jonathan stared at her. She then said, “Thank you for your bodyguards’ help today. However, it’s late now. I have to go back! If you want to discuss the past with me, then don’t bother. I think I made it clear the last time.”
However, he held her hands and brought them to his cheeks.
Her body stiffened slightly. The warmth of his face was in her palms while his hands pressed the back of her hands. She
could not move her hands at all.
Her hands were forced to press against his face. If she ignored his hands, it looked like she was holding his face.
“At that time, when you were here, you told me that you would love me for the rest of your life, stay with me forever, and never leave me,” he murmured in a low voice. His dark eyes were filled with tears.
Rosalie’s body trembled. At that time, he stood in the memorial hall at midnight, full of loneliness and fragility, which greatly distressed her.
At that time, she found that place in the middle of the night. Looking at him that way, she wanted to give everything she had and protect him.
If he did not feel secure, she would do everything to give him a sense of security.
She kept telling him that she loved him. However, she also remembered what happened when Calvin was young, but she acted as if she could not remember anything.
At that time, she was willing to do everything for him.
At that moment, Rosalie looked at Jonathan calmly. “So what? You said you loved me too, didn’t you? But later, you said you didn’t love me anymore and wanted to break up. You can go back on your words at any time.”
“If I don’t
go back on my word, will you?” he asked.
“Words, once spoken, cannot be taken back. Haven’t you ever heard of this sentence?” she retorted.
“For me, there’s nothing hard to take back! No matter how difficult it is, I can take all of them back,” he said, gently rubbing
his face against her palms. “You know what? I was afraid that I would love you too much. I was afraid that my father’s mistakes would be repeated, and I wouldn’t even be able to control my own life in the end…”
His voice sounded in the memorial hall. He had never said those words to others. Those fears were hidden in his heart. At that moment, he told her everything.
Rosalie was stunned for a moment and seemed to be surprised by what he had said.
He continued, “After we broke up, I realized I loved you so much that I couldn’t live without you. Rosalie, can you come back to me? I can give you whatever you want, even if…”
He paused and stared at her intensely. “Even if you want my life, I can do it.”
In the past, he could not feel his father’s feelings for his mother. He just felt it was ridiculous. Previously, he had thought, “Why would one person lose his will to survive because of another person’s betrayal and abandonment? And why did he even take the initiative to choose death?”
However, at that moment, he gradually understood that when he loved someone too much, life seemed meaningless once he lost that person.
Rosalie felt complicated. She looked behind him and glanced at the photo with his father’s name.
with
“So? Because you broke up with me and found that you still loved me, you wanted to be with me again?” Rosalie suddenly chuckled, but her laughter showed a trace of mockery. “But, Jonathan, I’m not a toy. I am not a toy you can break and be together again as you wish!”
His eyes gradually darkened. “You don’t want to?”
up
“Yes, I don’t want to!” She gave him her answer with absolute certainty. “You love me and want me to be with you again. But what if it’s the other way around? If I love you, but you don’t love me anymore, will you agree to be with me again?”
He pursed his lips.
She stared at him and said, “No, right? If you don’t love me anymore, even if I kneel on the ground and beg you, I don’t think you will also look me in the eye!”
“There are no ‘ifs.” It took Jonathan a while to say that.
