Ferris spoke those harsh words while leaning down to kiss me, as if he could wait to confine me forever in his arms.
Tell me, what will it take for you to withdraw the lawsuit?”
“What do you want? Just tell me. As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, I’ll give you everything!”
He wasn’t afraid of losing this lawsuit, but rather, he felt he couldn’t afford to lose.
If the council ruled for our divorce, he didn’t know what other reason he could use to forcibly keep me by his side.
“Just tell me, whatever I have, I’ll give it all to you.” He repeated over and over like a madman.
I desperately tried to break free from him, not wanting to be pressed by him bymore until I couldn’t breathe.
Seeing that I wasn’t speaking, he suddenly held me even tighter, trapping me firmly in his arms.
“Did Adrian contact you?” he asked in a low voice.
I raised my hand to block him, my voice low but firm: “I don’t want anything.”
But he didn’t believe it.
He just held me like that, unwilling to let go.
The car stopped by the roadside, with heavy snow falling outside, and silence between heaven and earth.
The sky gradually darkened. At my slightest movement, he would tighten his grip again, as if afraid I would suddenly run away.
I lowered my eyes and asked softly: “Ferris, have you fallen in love with me?”
This wasn’t the first time I’d asked, but this time, I seemed more certain of the answer than ever before.
He froze for a moment, lowering his head to meet my gaze directly, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
I moved a little closer to him, but smiled gently: “You don’t need to answer me
“I don’t hope for you to love me now. I just hope you can let me go.”
“Let’s get divorced, okay?”
“I’m begging you, please…”
My voice was as light as a whisper, but each word cut like a blade across his heart.
His throat felt like it was stuck with sharp thorns, each breath bringing pain.
“No.”
My eyes dimmed, and I stopped talking.
Looking at me, he suddenly missed the old me very much. If possible, he really wanted to return to the past when I still loved him, when I was willing to smile for him and cry for him.
I leaned against him, and gradually, exhaustion swept through my body. Without realizing it, I fell asleep.
He looked down at my peaceful appearance, and for a moment, he really wanted to take me away from this city directly, away from everything. Perhaps that way, he could keep me by his side forever.

er, his phone suddenly rang,
He looked down and saw a text from Simon:
Alpha Ferris, 1 found Colton. He agreed to take the case and said he’s 100% confident he can win this divorce lawsuit.]
Ferris stared at that sentence for a long time, finally deleting the text.
His hand tightened slightly, and when he held me again, his heart actually felt somewhat more at peace.
I was awakened by a slight vibration.
Opening my eyes, I found myself still in his car.
“Can I go back now?”
He glanced at me, said nothing, just took off his coat to cover me, then started the car and drove back.
