Chapter 306 - It hurts

Gail's face pale at her revelations.

Maybe due to how she table the word to him, he didn't feel the anger and the killing intent he felt while he assumed she and Michael were together.

His head dropped in front of him and he could already feel his eyes stung with tears.

He really loves this woman so much, to the extent that he couldn't even bring himself to feel angry at her or try to think of anything mischievous to attempt later.

He just felt this urge to see her happy.

And if he couldn't….

Not that he couldn't, but it seems if he forces her to be with him, he will only make her sad.

He didn't want that, yet he felt that Michael does not deserve her. He gave her insecurities and made her cry.

And then he recalled that all her tears all these few weeks was because of him, not Michael.

He did the same thing he wanted to save her from.

He looked up at her and realized that she was looking at him.

Has she been staring since all these while?

He felt a little embarrassed now.

Her eyes were glowing with tears and they kept dropping, but there's this innocence in her gaze, which was what attracted him the first time they met.

"I seriously like you, Annabelle. I am in love with you and it saddens me I'm confessing this way, but I at least want to say it with my own mouth…" He chuckled softly.

At first, Belle wanted to feel scared that she would have a problem if this man decided to use force to get her, but felt light after he completed his sentence.

If he had tried to use force, Belle hasn't asked for her father's help ever since they separated, but she will involve him.

She didn't want a situation of a man forcing himself on her and hurting the one her heart wanted just to have her.

She would have cruelly let her father get involved and take care of the issue.

This is the reason why she uses the opportunity of what happened today to let him know she's aware of his feelings.

She never failed to notice how his eyes followed her around.

She has been used to that passionate stare, since she has the most romantic boyfriend there is.

She pretends she didn't know and clear agendas to not raise his hope up.

She needed that job, which is another reason to pretend.

But it's time she came clean.

Michael is stubborn and might come again. 

Based on Gail's feeling towards her, he might do something to him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-heart_15099745906890005/it-hurts_50402647936654508 for visiting.

She dreaded that feeling.

"I'm sorry." Sh muttered softly.

"Don't be." He said in a tender tone and looked up to admire her once again, because he will have to keep a distance from her to clear his head.

He wasn't sure if he will wake up tomorrow and decided that kidnapping her would be the best solution, so he could have her to himself.

He chuckled at his own crazy thought.

"I… hum,. won't be coming to work tomorrow." She broke another sad news to him.

The blood on his face seemed to drain at that instant.

"What!" He exclaimed in shock.

He felt like she knew what he did, but that wasn't the case.

Belle was smart to know a man that has been in love with her since they met and slowly keep her by his side to take his time and seduce her into falling for him, wouldn't just say, "I'm getting over you"

And he would really do.

Seeing her would only make it difficult.

She loves her job, because despite the fact that he likes her, she did work for her salary.

They don't owe each other anything.

She never accepted any of his gifts anyway.

"Please don't do that. I understand your concern but trust me that I'm old and mature enough to tame the fire of love ignited in my heart.

I will take a short vacation and when I return, we will be good, I promise." He said so fast with fear evidence in his eyes.

Belle shook her head, because his reaction was more like someone who didn't want to lose a person.

He was only fooling himself. It can't be as easy as he thought.

A harsh decision must be made and that is staying away from him.

"I'm so sorry, but I've made up my mind." Belle said and tried to open the door, but he quickly reached for her.

Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest, because it felt like she's seeing a completely different person.

He was always so calm and smiley.

She looked at her hand that was held in his own and freed it with a slight pull.

He didn't resist.

"I….. don't want today to be the last time I will see you. Okay, if you don't believe me, what if I stay a month…. Hum, maybe two away.

I won't see you and I will forget. I will let go of the feeling." He said seriously.

"No." That was the firm reply he got from Belle.

She opened the door and he spoke up.

"I understand, so let me drop you at home, please." He said and she sat back on her seat.

They reached her house, with a drive engulfed by silence.

"I'm sorry if I scare you." He apologized as he parked the car for her to get down.

"You didn't." She replied.

"I will miss you." He said.

"Thanks for taking care of me." She replied.

He reached for his phone after asking her to hold on.

Her phone beeped to notify her of a message alert.

She didn't check before saying thanks to him.

She already knew what it was.

She was a girl brought up like a princess. Money doesn't freak her.

Gail smiled softly. He knew this lady really didn't want him, but he wasn't planning on being a good guy and helped her get back with Michael.

He wasn't planning to tell her Michael is innocent.

If Michael really loves her, then he should clear the misunderstanding himself.

He watched her figure left for her house without looking back and only drove off after she disappeared behind the door.

His hand raised to his chest as if it felt twisted.

"It hurts…. Heartbreak hurts." He mumbled to himself and drove away.
