Chapter 1152

A shock in the heart.

Was he crying?

“Esmeralda…”

He suddenly shouted at me, his low and helpless voice sounding so fragile that it broke my heart.

“I knew my personality was quirky, and no one could stand it.”

Most of the time, my inner self was contradictory. I was “eager to be with you” on one hand, but “afraid to be with you” on the other.

I was afraid that as I indulged in happiness, you would eventually leave me. The pain of losing happiness after gaining it is more painful than death.

“But I also said that I won’t leave you, never will.”

He tightened his arms and held me close.

After a long silence, he whispered, “I seem to have not done anything right for you. I did not protect you, did not give you a peaceful happiness.”

Looking back at the harm I caused you in the past, fear would consume all my courage. I was afraid of unintentionally hurting you again, so I kept avoiding and retreating.

But do you know? I couldn’t bear to, couldn’t bear to completely break clean with you.

“That marriage certificate… actually wasn’t lost, I hid it away.”

I was taken aback, instinctively pushing him away, looking at him in astonishment.

He gave me a bitter smile, but his eyes were red.

“Yeah, I was sensitive, selfish, and cowardly again…”

This is me, how could you like me…

I quickly covered his lips.

Reynaldo kept talking and then started to dig himself into a dead end.

I smiled at him and said, “Is the photo on the marriage certificate good-looking?”

Reynaldo looked at me in astonishment, staring blankly.

After a while, he nodded.

“When you get back, take it out and show it to me.”

He didn’t say anything, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

I laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t divorce you.”

Why is it you who decides to get married, but also you who decides to get divorced?

I refused to!

Since you decided to get married, then it’s up to me to decide on divorce, it’s up to me to speak up!

Reynaldo looked at me deeply for a while, then nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

“So, you were not allowed to overthink anymore.”

I was a person who hated evil like an enemy. If I disliked you and wanted to leave you, I would tell you directly, there’s no need for you to guess randomly!

“Are you sure you will tell me directly?” He looked at me, his eyes suddenly showing a hint of grievance.

I was taken aback and said, “What? You still don’t believe me?”

He lowered his gaze slightly and said in a low voice, “I didn’t not believe you.”

However, every time you want to leave me, you make the decision quietly. By the time I realized it, you had already left.

Um…

It seems like that’s the case, and all of a sudden I felt powerless to argue against it.

I held his hand and said seriously, “Okay, it was my fault before. I promise you, if I really don’t want you anymore in the future, if I want to leave you, I will tell you directly.”

He still hung his head, with a touch of melancholy lingering around him.

“In fact, it’s not your fault. Emotions can’t be forced.”

“Um,” I nodded, “You can’t force feelings, indeed.”

He suddenly looked up at me, his hand instinctively pulling back, the melancholy in his eyes deepening.

I held his hand tightly and smiled at him, saying, “Before, it was you who insisted, now it’s me who insists. Isn’t it even now? It doesn’t count as insisting, right?”
