Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 354

"Having him is enough?"

She had some nerve to even think of wanting him.

Looking at her pitiful expression, my voice turned colder as I said, "Jewel, you're mistaken. It's not Chris you want. What you're after is his status and the wealth that comes with him."

Jewel nibbled at her lip.

"I won't deny that, but—"

She paused and then delivered a devastating speech.

"But after these days, he's been as good to me as Ian ever was. I've genuinely fallen for him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him."

She was telling me that she was fixated on Chris and that he had genuinely cared for her. She was still seeing me as a rival, yet here she was, begging me.

And when she pleaded, she didn't forget to drive a dagger into my heart. It was as if she thought that I was an easy prey.

I smirked. "Chris cared for you, but he still left."

Jewel's expression stiffened upon hearing my words.

"Are you sure he wants to spend his life with you?" I asked in a mocking tone.

"As long as he comes back, I'll find a way," Jewel replied, her voice faltering.

I nodded slightly. "Then, find a way to bring him back. I won't help you."

Jewel had been kneeling for a while, and she was barely holding up. Hearing my refusal, her body wavered, and she gripped the car door tighter.

"Why? Is it because you still love him?"

It was pathetic for a woman to blame another woman for a man's lack of affection.

I wasn't interested in continuing the conversation.

"If that's what you believe, then sure."

I scoffed.

Jewel froze, her mouth moving, but no words came out.

"Ms. Massey, staying on your knees isn't good for the baby. You should get up. I'm leaving," I said as I glanced at the clock on my dashboard.

The conversation had already wasted ten minutes of my time.
