Chapter 787
Olivia stood blankly, staring at him. The look in her eyes moved from shock to guilt and then blank.
In retrospect, Zac had been gentle, caring, and generous to her ever since they met. He had been supportive and tolerant of everything she did and never said no to her.
It seemed she took him for granted because of this.
She had even... forgotten that he was human too. He had emotions. She opened her mouth to say something, but she swallowed what she wanted to say.
Zac saw her hesitation and smiled. "I should thank you. I might not be so 'humane' if it weren't for you.
"When I was little, my mom always asked me to be good and patient, so I never lost my temper even if I was bullied.
"After I grew up, I kept all my emotions to myself and rarely lost my temper or spoke angrily."
Then he paused and looked up at her. "That's why I didn't confess to you four years ago. Because I thought protecting you was enough, and I shouldn't ask for more.
"I always thought I had no desire until... I was locked in the basement by my dad, and you agreed to marry me to save me. "It dawned on me then that I had desires. I had them all along. I just kept it in my heart.
"Then I had a car accident. I lost both my legs and hearing. And
Xavier and John stopped you from marrying me.
"All my suppressed emotions burst. I hated myself for being so incompetent and suppressed."
Zac tugged open his collar, opened his mouth to take a big breath, and continued saying, 'That was the first time I let out my anger, and I thought it would be alright later.
