Chapter 490
John gazed darkly at her, still quiet.
Unfazed by his reaction, Olivia continued saying, “Has it ever occurred to you that even if your wife is still alive, she might not want to see you?
“You said you hurt her so much that she never forgave you until she died.”
She looked at him coldly and asked, “What makes you think she’ll forgive you if she comes back from the dead?”
As soon as she finished, she felt John’s body tremble, and his expression stiffened slightly.
Somehow, seeing him like this gave her some comfort.
“It’s impossible to pretend that nothing has happened when you can’t recover from the pain you have experienced and the damage you have suffered.
“If she were still alive, she would try her best to avoid you and never see you again. Because it is the only way to start over again.”
With that said, she pressed her lips together and sneered. “Even if you loved her deeply, she would never come near you again if you had hurt and disappointed her enough.
“Because no one wants to repeat the same mistake.”
John shuddered as he stiffened, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
‘Is that why she pretended she didn’t know me?
‘So she won’t make the same mistakes?”
He narrowed his long, narrow eyes and suddenly pulled her into his arms, coldly saying, ” What makes you think that? Do you know her well?”
Startled, Olivia pushed him frantically. “I don’t know her, but I know disappointment and despair.”
“Why?”
Instead of letting go, John grabbed harder.
Olivia did not expect him to be so strong when he was already badly injured.
“Let go!”
“Why? Answer me!”
Olivia looked up at him, momentarily dazed.
