Chapter 99
t had long lost my patience with Blair’s repeated mentions of this matter.
Although I tried to calm my emotions, my tone still betrayed some agitation.
Blair looked at me Intensely and suddenly grabbed my wrist. She said, “Samuel, I really don’t understand what’s so great about Abigail.
“She’s widely recognized in the business world for her bad temper and poor attitude. She snaps at people at the slightest chance.
“How many partners have complained about her inflexible ways and harsh personality after working with her?
“But you you clearly want a divorce. Why are you still hesitating? Do you actually enjoy being tormented? Do you have a masochistic side?”
Blair game at me, her words hitting me like a barrage.
Iwas taken aback by what she said. No matter how I looked at it, this was my own issue,
Why was Blair reacting so strongly?
It was as if Abigail had taken something important from her.
right?
. I looked at her calmly and asked, “Ms. Shepherd, what do you mean by that? What’s going on
with you?”
Blair suddenly leaned closer to me, the strong scent of her perfume making my breathing a bit
hurried.
Her fingers gently brushed against my cheek, her gaze fixed intensely on me as she softly said, “Samuel, leave her, and I’m willing to marry you.”
I stared at her in shock, instinctively wanting to pull away her hand.
But she had a strong grip, and given my current state, I couldn’t muster any strength to resist.
I could only shake my head and ask, “Are you out of your mind?”
“I’m not.”
Blair’s eyes bore into mine with unwavering determination.
Her tone was resolute as she looked at me anxiously and continued, “I’ve never been this serious before. Samuel, I like you. Can’t you see that?”
At that moment, I had no idea what to say to calm the shock and astonishment surging within
- me.
Lhad met Blair no more than ten times in totall
These ten encounters Included the times we bumped into each other by chance,
If I were to really be with Blair, wouldn’t I just be following in Abigail’s footsteps?
Moreover, Blair’s affection felt relatively cheap in this context.
She could like me today because I looked a bit handsome, but tomorrow, she might just like someone else if she found another handsome guy to connect with more.
My relationship with Abigail had tormented me for a long time, and I had indeed loved her when we were together.
But…
Let alone the fact that I hadn’t divorced Abigail yet, even if we did get divorced, I couldn’t just jump into a new relationship immediately.
That would make me a real scumbag.
“I’m not joking with you, Samuel!”
Blair grew anxious when I had not responded to her for a while.
She eagerly grabbed my hand and asked seriously, “Tell me, how do you feel about me?
“Do you feel moved when you see me? Do you look forward to our next encounter?” Blair’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, eager for my affirmation.
I calmly shook my head and replied softly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Shepherd. I don’t know what I did to lead you to such a deep misunderstanding.
“If there really is anything, I apologize for my inappropriate actions and behavior toward
“As for everything else, I don’t think there’s a need for us to continue this conversation. Goodbye.”
With that, I turned and left without looking back
