My Love My Hatred Chapter 212
He looked at me for a while and started to talk, “You know, the both of you look just like each other. But she was prettier. I fell in love with her after | first saw her in university. I still remember how thrilled I was when she said she would marry me. I was so happy that we got to live the rest of our lives together. But after we got married, I couldn‘t contain my anger whenever we fought. So, I hit her. I hit her and hoped that she would stop shouting at me when we fought. After I hit her for the first time, she stopped loving me and I noticed that. She can‘t stop loving me! And all of these went on and on.
