Loved You Once But He's My Forever (Chloe) novel Chapter 570

"No need, I'll just take a nap and I'll be fine tomorrow," Anna replied to Taylor's offer.

"Okay, then let's not go back," he said.

Taylor specially had someone bring food over, all to help Anna recover.

After yesterday's events, Taylor had already regarded Anna as his.

Even if Anna couldn't accept their relationship for the time being, he didn't mind. They had a lifetime ahead of them.

He held Anna's hand gently and said, "Anna, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. So, can you stop thinking about leaving? The fate of the Sanders is already set, and it's not something you or I can change. From now on, can you forget about the Sanders?"

She had only spent five years of her life with the Sanders, yet those years had become the most important memories of her life.

Even though she had once blurred the faces of her brothers, she still remembered how they had loved her when she was young.

How could she forget about the Sanders and live her own life?

Wouldn't that be no different from betrayal?

Anna knew that if she secretly escaped this time, even though Taylor didn't say it outright, he already had a plan.

It would be extremely difficult to escape from him. Anna had no choice but to hide her sharp edges and temporarily compromise.

At least long enough to fool him. That was her only chance to escape.

Through tear-filled eyes, she looked up at Taylor. "The Sanders gave me life. How could I ever forget them? Taylor, can't you let go of your revenge?"

Taylor gently stroked her hair. He murmured, "Anna, I never wanted revenge against the Sanders. This hatred isn't mine to end. It's a feud between two families, bound by blood. It's far too complicated. I'm already doing everything I can just to keep you safe."

Anna sobbed against his chest. She cried, "But ... you want me to just stand by and watch my family fall apart? I can't."

"Anna, there's a way," he said quietly. "I have a drug ... if you take enough of it, you'll forget everything that ever happened. If you want ... "

"No!" Anna cut him off instantly. "I don't want to forget who I am."

Taylor sighed. "I won't force you. You pity the Sanders ... but didn't my family suffer too? Our home was destroyed, our people lost. Did we deserve that?"

"I don't know," Anna whispered.

It was a deadlock. No one could say who was right or wrong anymore.

Taylor said gently, "Anna, I promise—I won't take part in anything against the Sanders. Just stay with me, alright?"

It was the most he could offer. He kissed away her tears, comforting her the way he had when they were younger.

"Taylor ... " Anna nuzzled softly against his nose. "I have no one but you now."

Taylor felt sad for her. "Anna, I'll take care of you," he promised.

Their eyes met, and emotion shimmered in Anna's gaze. She leaned forward and kissed him first, her mind clear now—the drug had long since worn off.

Taylor stiffened in shock and nervousness. "Anna, do you know what you're doing?"

"I do. Taylor ... " she whispered.

Her fingers slowly undid the buttons of his shirt, pressing soft kisses along his skin. They clung to each other for days, lost in each other, unable to separate.

Taylor had never even dreamed of such intimacy, and they explored every inch of each other without restraint. As he held her sleeping peacefully in his arms, he kissed her bare shoulder, feeling an overwhelming sense of tenderness.

He believed she clung to him because she had lost everything else. And he vowed to protect her, no matter what.

At dawn, Anna slowly woke in his arms.

"Taylor ... " she murmured, her voice soft and sweet, melting Taylor's heart.

"You're awake?" he said gently. "Are you hungry?"

She nuzzled into the crook of his neck. "Yeah. I'm starving."
