Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973 Don't Even Know How to Spend Money

On Beata's birthday, Harvey asked her early in the morning where she was holding her party this year. He had brought a gift over early because it was particularly large and might be inconvenient to transport at the last minute.

To his surprise, Beata told Harvey that she wasn't having a party this year but instead had a date with someone she liked.

It felt like a knife plunged into Harvey's heart.

He stood there stunned for a while before finally managing to ask, "Beata, when did you start it?"

"It's been three months now," Beata replied. "I've been waiting for my birthday to confess my feelings to him."

Harvey felt another stab of pain. He didn't even need to ask who the man was; it was obviously the same one he had seen three months ago.

Harvey knew that this man picked up and dropped off Beata every day and even took care of her dog at his house. Although he'd known all these things for some time now, he still hadn't given up hope.

He kept deceiving himself into thinking that as long as Beata didn't explicitly reject him, there might still be a chance between them. But now she had made it clear in no uncertain terms.

This left him with no room for self-deception anymore.

Harvey didn't say anything but silently licked his wounds instead. However, he still gave Beata his gift anyway since they'd grown up together from elementary school through high school until now.

In reality though, Harvey had always been waiting for something more between them than just friendship, because in his eyes all along Beata just hadn't opened herself up emotionally yet, which would have allowed their relationship blossom naturally without any effort on either side's part - or so he thought!
