Chapter 22
The strong contrast stimulated Jordan’s self–esteem, making him feel ashamed.
In front of his rival, Jordan’s face turned bright red.
Not to mention the rival, who looked down on him like he was an insignificant ant.
As soon as Melanie saw Colin, she fluttered into his arms like a butterfly.
Her face was adorned with a radiant smile that Jordan hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Colin, you’re back!”
“Well, how was your day today? Did you miss me?”
“Today was fine,” Melanie glanced at Jordan, who was kneeling, with a meaningful look.
“Good girl, Melanie,” Colin affectionately planted a kiss on Melanie’s forehead, then on her eyes, cheeks, nose, and finally on her lips.
The bodyguards and servants on both sides seemed to have become accustomed to their intimacy, with no trace of surprise in their eyes, all wearing
familiar smiles.
They were intimate with each other as if no one else was around, like a sharp knife stabbing into Jordan’s heart, and then relentlessly stirring, causing a gush of blood.
Jordan even felt it difficult to breathe.
At this moment, Colin seemed to have just noticed Jordan’s presence and condescendingly asked, “Mr. Tye, who is this?”
Jordan hesitated, his lips trembling, before slowly saying, “I, I came to find Melanie.”
Colin seemed to have heard an incredible joke and exclaimed in astonishment, “Why would you look for my wife?”
Jordan stubbornly repeated, “I was looking for Melanie.”
Colin understood the unspoken meaning, that Jordan was unwilling to admit the fact that Melanie is now his wife.
This made him laugh even more.
“Mr. Tye used to dislike Melanie the most, didn’t he? Even though she wholeheartedly devoted herself to you and stood by your side for a whole twelve years, you only felt annoyed and called her an annoying lapdog. As far as I know, Mr. Tye’s crush is Danica, right?”
In the face of strong facts, Jordan had no ability to fight back and could only futilely offer his biggest chip, trying to salvage a glimmer of hope for this relationship.
In the past, I was blind and ignorant, but now I have realized that the only person I love is Melanie. I know that I have done many things to hurt Melanie in the past and have also broken her heart. But I am willing to make up for it with the time I have left.
“Compensation?” Colin shook his head, looking at Jordan as if he was dealing with a unreasonable child. “The harm she has suffered, you can never repay.”
“Full of sadness, twelve years of loving you with all my might, how are you going to make it up? Do you know that she used to drink to help you with investments in the earlier years, and now her stomach still has problems, causing irreversible damage to her body. Her stomach disease occasionally flares up, and when the pain strikes, she breaks out in a cold sweat, rolling on the bed.”
“Do you know how devastated and tormented she was when she already knew that you were going to marry Danica? She silently endured, watching you treat Danica with a tenderness and favoritism she had never experienced before, and then, in the midst of intense heartache, she slowly gave up…”
Listening to Colin’s words, Melanie’s nose tingled and her heart welled up with a familiar, faint pain.
But this time, it was not for Jordan, but for the foolish and reckless past self, who was like a moth to a flame.
