Chapter 178 Norah, I Like You Too (2)
"Shawn, I don't want to hear it. Don't tell me." Norah resisted, shaking her head.
Shawn held her face, lowered his head to touch the tip of her nose, and then smiled gently.
He knew she must have misunderstood.
"Norah..." Shawn looked at her. At that moment, his eyes were brilliant as if countless stars were shining brightly in them.
He opened his mouth and spoke as if using the gentlest words in the world, "Listen carefully. I never thought that your love is a burden. On the contrary, I can't feel happier."
"Why?" Norah asked in a daze.
She felt that her brain capacity was completely insufficient at the moment and couldn't provide her with normal thinking.
"Fool, because I like you too!"
When this sentence exploded in her mind, Norah's first reaction was that she was dreaming.
Otherwise, how could she hear these words?
Did he like her?
Did Shawn really like her?
For ten years, this was something she didn't dare to think about even in her dreams.
When she married him, she only hoped that the two of them could accompany each other through their lives. As long as she could be with him, she felt immense joy and satisfaction.
Later, witnessing his unique love and care for Lilian, she didn't dare to expect anything anymore.
But now, he actually said he liked her.
Norah was stunned for a moment, and she almost couldn't think.
After a while, she finally came back to her senses. "But, the person you like is..."
Before she finished her sentence, Shawn interrupted her. "Norah, that was in the past. I know that I used to treat you badly. I always made you sad and upset. But now it's different. I am sure that I like you."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done so many wrong things and hurt you."
As he spoke, Shawn grabbed her hand and kissed it over and over again.
"It's all my fault. Do you know how sad I was when you said you wanted a divorce? I didn't want to separate from you at all, but you had made up your mind, and you were so determined. I even thought about using some unethical means to keep you by my side, as long as I could make you stay."
"But Norah, whether it's in the past or now, I don't want to force you."
"I know I did wrong things, and you are blaming me. You can do whatever you want to me. Just don't ignore me."
Norah's eyes widened. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed it.
This was a scene she had dreamed of so many times.
But when it really happened, she suddenly forgot how to react.
After a while, she finally came back to her senses. The next moment, she raised her head, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears. Then, tears ran down her face uncontrollably.
It had been ten years.
She had loved him for ten years.
She had married him and also separated from him.
When she thought that he would never like her, he actually told her that he also liked her.
When she reacted, she couldn't control herself.
It was as if the thousands of days and nights of unrequited love and yearning had gotten an outlet to vent.
For so many days and nights, she didn't even know how she had managed to get through them.
She thought that this was how she would spend the rest of her life, growing old with this unrequited love, even dying with it.
But at this moment, she finally understood that all her efforts were meaningful.
It was enough.
It was more than enough.
"Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong or did I upset you?" Seeing Norah cry, Shawn felt heartbroken.
"No." Norah shook her head and explained seriously, "I'm not sad. I'm just..."
She suddenly realized she couldn't find the right word to describe her feelings.
Without hesitation, she threw herself into Shawn's arms, squeezing her petite body into his broad embrace.
