Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 696

"Hey, come on! Drink it! Why are you looking at me? You can't drink?"

Tim looked at Maia in front of him, and became annoyed due to her expression.

What was that look?

When did he need others' sympathy?

"You are gonna drink or not? Get lost if you don't drink!"

Tim roared in annoyance, and then took up a bottle of beer to drink.

Maia quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tim's hand, and whispered, "Stop drinking. Go back with me."

"You can go back if you want. Don't stop me from drinking."

Tim pushed Maia aside.

He was really heartbroken.

He had kept Nicole in his heart for so long. It was really difficult to let her go. He knew clearly that he couldn't get her love, but he had the fantasy that one day he could replace Samuel.

His heart became broken again and again for he was rejected for so many times. He thought that he was strong enough to face it. But he was wrong. The solid armor that protected his heart had cracks.

The pain crept through these cracks in the armor and went deep into his bones. It was like sulfuric acid that melted his bones. Though he was in great pain, he couldn't shout for help.

He had paid great effort to bear this pain.

He really wanted to give up. But when he thought that he couldn't see Nicole anymore, he hesitated. The pain that he couldn't see Nicole was even more unbearable than that he couldn't get her love.

Tim almost couldn't bear it.

His embarrassment was wholly showed in front of this country woman. For Tim, who was always predominant, this was really too unacceptable. However, he could not do anything to Maia.

This pain could only be resolved by alcohol.

Maybe everything tormented him would become nothing in drinking.

Tim grabbed another bottle and swilled the beer.

Maia felt sad for him.

She understood Tim's feeling because she had also crushed on someone. He made her think of that experience.

She was a country girl, but Tim was so competent and smart. How could he be in such an embarrassing situation?

Maia didn't stop Tim drinking but looked at him. Perhaps, he would go back with her when he was drunk.

When sun rose, another beautiful day would come.

Looking at Tim drinking, Alexia revealed a meaningful smile and quietly left.

Tim drank all the bottles of beer on the table, but he didn't drink his fill. So, he ordered a few more bottles.

Maia stayed by his side, neither drinking nor stopping him. He felt a little more relaxed.

Tim didn't feel lonely though Maia was not saying anything.

Tim didn't know how much he had drunk. Anyway, Tim was tipsy. Although he didn't lose all his consciousness, he began to speak his mind.

"Tell me, Maia, am I not good looking?"

"No."

Maia knew that he was drunk, so she could only try to comfort him. To be honest, Tim was handsome.

Tim smiled and said, "You have a good taste. Why does Nicole love Samuel? Like Samuel, I was also a solider. He can fight on the battlefield. But I can do that, too. He is a capable businessman, and I also have talent in business. I'm on par with him. Why did she choose Samuel instead of me?"

Maia didn't know how to answer Tim's question.

She didn't know what happened between them. But she was still stunned when she heard what Tim said.

She was surprised that Tim was so outstanding.

And then, Tim continued, "You don't know that the Greens often come to conflict. Every Green will play dirty trick. But my family is totally different from the Greens. We are pure in mind. And I am the only heir. I have the absolute authority in my family. Oh, no. My damn father has an illegitimate son. But it won't make any difference. That illegitimate son won't be admitted as a Louis. I'm from a decent and rich family. My family had been doing business for generations. If she chose me, she would have a very happy life. If anyone dares to say no to her, I will kill them. But why did she marry to Samuel? Why did she want to be his wife? You know clearly her suffering due to her choice."

"Nicole's appearance also changed. She was much better looking than she is now. She was disfigured because of Samuel. So, she had plastic surgery. Even if she would die, and became mute, she never changes her heart to Samuel. I don't know why. Am I inferior to Samuel? I met Nicole before Samuel! Why did she choose Samuel? "

Tim tightly grabbed Maia's arm. His eyes were red, tears bright in his eyes.

It hurt Maia to see Tim sorrowful.

"Tim, not every encounter will have a good ending. Love doesn't come in order of arrival. Samuel is her destined one. Fate decreed that you are not meant to be together."

"Fate? That's really nonsense! Only you believe this. I won't give up even if my hair turns gray. As long as I live longer than Samuel, I will have a chance, right?"

Tim smiled bitterly. Maia's heart ached with pity for him.

"Is it worthy of waiting for her? It's just wasting your time."

Tim was stunned.

He looked into the distance and whispered, "You don't understand. Without Nicole, I won't be there. She gave me life. I will wait for her."

Then, he got down and fell asleep.

Maia got a great shock.

He would wait for Nicole in the rest of his life.

How could he be rejected even he was so persistent in loving her?
