Mable thought to herself, ‘I spared him, so why wouldn’t he spare me?’
Blair was stunned for a while before he asked, “Mable, didn’t you used to love me very much?”
Mable looked out the window at the clouds and forced herself to hold back the pain in her heart. “I… don’t love you anymore.”
Loving someone who did not love her back was very painful. She feared it and did not want to torture herself this way anymore.
Blair clenched his fists and held back his fury.
‘Don’t love me anymore?’
Neither of them spoke for a while. The cabin became quiet.
Just when Mable thought Blair would explode, he said gently, “It’s okay if you don’t love me. So be it as long as you stay by my side.”
Mable froze. However, she soon smiled teasingly. “Blair, do you have a screw loose?”
Blair held her hand and told her, “Mable, I have enough time and patience. I’ll wait for you to fall in love with me again.”
Mable was speechless.
“Let’s remarry when you fall in love with me again, okay?”
Mable twitched her mouth. “Unless I lose my memory for a second time, keep dreaming!”
A sinister look flashed across Blair’s dark eyes. He smiled and said, “I can help if you want to lose your memory again.”
Mable rolled her eyes at him.
She could tell that Blair was truly interested in her!
That was dangerous.
She decided to change the subject. “Sell me the two items you bought from Salomon. I’ll pay you thrice their cost!”
Those two items were too important to her. She must get them.
Blair looked at her askance. “I don’t lack money!”
“Then what do you want?”
Blair looked gloomily at her. “Don’t you know what I want?”
When Mable did not reply, Blair snorted. “Marry me, and what is mine will be yours!”
Mable was at a loss for words.
‘He made himself sound so reasonable!’
However, if Mable got the stuff and ran away again after they remarried, Blair would definitely not let it slide.
