Chapter 169 

A proud man like him would never allow such a thing to happen. 

“So, you’re only willing to see me just to prove to me that you’ll 

never agree no matter how much I beg, right?” She said those words with much difficulty. 

His lips curved into a thin smile. He lifted one hand and lightly 

swept away some stray strands of hair along her forehead, tucking them behind her ear using his long fingers. “Back then, you said that you didn’t want to stay by my side and that
