A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1563

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1563

“Of course I want to hear the truth.”

Quietly, she lay in his arms, waiting for him to whisper sweet nothings to her.

“The truth is,” came Carl’s abruptly loud voice. “I’ve never loved you. Not before, and certainly not in the future.”

Finally, on that day, Carl revealed his true self.

Gabriella froze for a second. Then, she whined, “I’m serious. Stop joking.”

“I’m serious too. Look at me.”

Staring into her eyes, Carl enunciated, “I have never loved you.”

When Gabriella saw the hatred and malice in his eyes, her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Why? Why don’t you love me? Why did you marry me then?” Gabriella mumbled to herself.

She could not bring herself to believe in his words at all.

“At the start, I only loved you for your body. I wanted to find out what it felt like to have an arrogant woman like you under me. Most importantly, I want to get the Wards’ assets, and that’s why I want to become the Wards’ son-in-law. You’re the only and beloved daughter of the Wards, why won’t your father give me all of your family’s assets? But who knew everything would go wrong? Not only did the Wards nearly go bankrupt, but that old man Landon even kicked you out of the Ward family. My dreams are dashed, but it’s fine. This way, I can win you over easier and make you my plaything. Honestly, I wanted to spoil you and give you a good life in the beginning, but the way you looked down at me hurt my dignity. Therefore, I want to take revenge on you, and I want to make sure you can’t escape it. That’s why I married you.”

Carl was smug, for he had achieved his goal.

“Why? I’m already in this state. Why won’t you let me off?” Gabriella muttered.

Carl’s words were a sharp knife that stabbed repeatedly in her heart; it shredded her heart, which had just begun beating again.
