Chapter 197

Some people said men always behaved childishly in front of the women they loved. I supposed this saying, was ‘somewhat true when it came to the old Irvin.

Prior to knowing about the fake drugging video, Irvin would act like a child when he was home. It didn’t matter how imposing he seemed in public. The moment he stepped through the front door, he would instantly become clingy and childish.

Unlike most men, Irvin also didn’t have trouble expressing his love for me. Be it verbally or through his actions, he would passionately and sincerely make it known. Most importantly, he only had eyes for me.

At the time, I was someone who was starved of affection and desperately yearned for it. Hence, his intense and earnest displays of love made me forget my personal goals gave up everything and resolutely decided I would do anything to stay with him.

Irvin’s devotion made me believe he would love me for life and that we would be happy forever. So, who would have thought his so–called profound and sincere love was nothing but a joke?

Hence, when choosing a man, one’s focus really shouldn’t only be on his love or his kindness toward their partner. In the end, what was most important when it came to loving a person was each other’s conscience.

Irvin’s voice broke me out of my musing. “Babe, please don’t ignore me. You doing so hurts me more than losing my life. I’d honestly rather die than-”

“So just die then!” I coldly cut him off.

He jerked back and broke out of his pitiful act. It was as though he had been struck by something invisible and had been stunned by the hard force.

For a long moment, he stood there, frozen.

When he finally recovered, his face was filled with hurt and grievance. “Babe…” he whined.

His eyes were filled with sorrow. And although he didn’t say anything else, his expression clearly said, “How could you ask me to die? I’m your beloved husband!”

Utterly disgusted by the display, I said, “You’re too old to be acting this way, Irvin. Stop it. It’s disgusting.”

Irvin and I were the same age–26 years old. However, the years of having power and influence had shaped his demeanor. He was composed, noble, and aloof.

It was clear from one look that he was a successful elite. So this childish and pitiful act didn’t suit him at all.

Irvin was taken aback by my comment. Pulling out his phone, he quickly inspected his reflection using the front

camera.

His face was still as handsome as he remembered, and he didn’t have any crow’s feet around his eyes. He was relieved to see that.

Then, he pouted at me and said, “What do you mean I’m too old? I haven’t become a faded gem yet, babe.”

I felt physically ill watching him.

Irvin started to speak again. “Babe-”

“Get out!” I cut him off. My expression was thunderous and full of impatience.

Before Irvin could respond. I turned to Landon and demanded, “Get him out of here right now, or I will have you both dragged out and beaten!”
