Upon hearing that, Fabiola couldn’t help but gulp. Sure, she had only married Hanley at the start to get over Neal, but…
Now that she had seen just how much he cared for her… What’s more, it was undeniable that she felt immensely irked whenever he even got close to Layla before this… She simply had never faced such strong emotions when it came to Neal. Maybe her father was right… She was never in love with Neal in the first place, huh? Which meant that…
Since Fabiola wasn’t replying, Hanley eventually lowered his gaze as he added, “…So… You really don’t see me as anything more than a plaything-”
“T-that’s not the case at all! I… I’m just… Sorry. I’m sorry for saying all those mean things back then, I just… I was angry, and I wanted you to hurt, so I… I’m sorry…” muttered Fabiola who genuinely regretted being so horrible back then.
She looked truly apologetic, and after a subtle smile, Hanley pulled her into his arms and said, “…I don’t take apologies, though… I’m sure you know what else I want, right…?”
Meekly looking up at him, Fabiola naturally knew what he wanted… He wanted her to be his. All his…!
…He had completely read her mind, huh? After nodding slowly, she flinched a little when she felt his hand going up her shirt…! What happened to, ‘nothing more’…?!
Regardless, Fabiola remained by Hanley’s side in the hospital for the next few days, making sure to constantly take good care of him. Alas, his fracture wasn’t healing that well, so he had to undergo surgery in the end…
Thankfully, the surgery was a success, but… when she saw how pale he looked, Fabiola couldn’t help but purse her lips. After all, he was a great man, and there was no doubt that countless women fancied him, yet… In the end, he still chose to be with a woman who hurt him so much… Would he have suffered less if he chose to be with someone else…?
