Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 76

“What are you talking about?” Lawrence asked subconsciously.

Steven still looked as indifferent, but he was seemingly worried about his brother.

“You may get momentarily pleasure from displeasing your wife, but rest assured you would suffer great pains when you have to coax her. Lawrence, all the best.”

“Coaxing my wife?” Lawrence sneered, “I would be rejoicing if Amelia was sent to the crematorium!”

At that time, Lawrence spoke confidently of it, but he never thought that he would need to send her to one. Sometime later, he would really go to the crematorium to see Amelia off...

Arthur stopped pulling Amelia until they were outside Repulse Bay villa area.

The kiss from earlier didn't affect his good mood, and he still had a splendid appearance.

“Amelia, no one would bother us now, we can finally kiss!”

Amelia actually wanted to find a quieter place to tell clarify with Arthur. Now that she's out, she didn't have to worry about her rejecting him, which would have made him lose face in public.

“Mr. Palmer, I'm sorry, I can't accept you.”

The expression on Arthur’s face was stagnant for a while, but the next second, he displayed a warm smile, “Amelia, I know you don’t like me but it’s okay. When we get together, you can take your time to discover the good in me and fall for me.”

“Mr. Palmer, I know that you're good. You are the best man I have ever seen. But Mr. Palmer, I really can’t be with you. I don’t deserve you. You deserve the best girl.”

“Amelia, in my heart, only you can match me!”

Amelia knew that Arthur would definitely not give up easily if she just said something unworthy, so she planned to tell him the truth.

“Mr. Palmer, if I have a healthy body and a lifetime, I think, I will accept you with no hesitation. Even if I don't like you now, I will gradually like you in the future.”

“I don't have a healthy body, and I can't spend a lifetime with you, so Mr. Palmer, I don't want to hold you back.”

“Amelia, what do you mean by that?” Arthur firmly grasped Amelia's little hand and asked eagerly.

“Mr. Palmer, I am sick, and I don’t have much time left. Meeting you had warmed our very last days. I had selfishly enjoyed the warmth you gave me, but I know that I would not be able to give you anything at the end of it.”

“Mr. Palmer, I can't be so selfish anymore. I am unable to give you the happiness you deserve, so I can't continue to waste your time. Forget about me, go find a better girl. You are so good; you will definitely be happy.”

“Amelia, what kind of condition do you have?” Arthur asked with a trembling voice after a long pause.

“The advanced stage of stomach cancer.” Amelia tried to make her voice sound calmer, “Mr. Palmer, I should have told you earlier so that you wouldn't waste time on me. But you made me feel warm, like a father or a brother that made me selfishly want to enjoy the warmth you bring me for a few more days.”

“But now that you know, stop wasting time on me. To be with a dying person, you would end up with nothing but sadness.”

“Mr. Palmer, goodbye. I hope you won't run into such a disgusting and selfish girl like me again in the future.”
