My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501 The Painful Secret She Can't Tell

Laura looked at him with a smile. Hearing his words, a fit of excruciating pain struck her heart. She frowned a bit, looking confused.

She wanted to ask him why she was not worthy of his intimacy.

It was not that she couldn't let go. She just wished to play her part till the end.

But Max didn't give her the chance.

Seeing that she was about to say something, he knew what she prepared to say would be something more outrageous.

Yet, he didn't want to listen.

His heart ached with pity for her.

He didn't want to say anything to hurt her feelings.

If he had told her blow by blow, she would think that he despised her.

At that moment, a million excuses flashed through his mind.

In the end, he said blandly, "I can't be with a woman like you."

Laura's face instantly stiffened.

But Max turned around and left without so much of a backward glance.

This was the subtlest way he could think of to turn her down so that he didn't have to see her as a "hooker".

Still, he thought what he said was really hurtful.

He didn't even have the courage to look at her face again.

If she admitted it, it would definitely be a huge blow to him.

But if she denied it and overthrew the conclusion they just drew, all her previous efforts would go to waste.

Although he didn't know why she said this, at this moment, he realized that she actually wanted him to stay away from her.

She pushed him away to save her dignity.

Now that she had made such a sacrifice, he decided to let her have her wish.

He would give her space, while she would give him time.

With that said, Max decisively walked out of Laura's room.

He didn't even give her a chance to explain before he left.

She watched him walk away with tears welled up in her eyes.

But she fought her tears back with immense self-control.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to explain her tears if he looked back and saw her crying.

It was not until the door closed with a bang that she finally gave loose to tears and wailings.

She almost cried her heart out.

Max didn't really leave, but she didn't know.

He leaned against her door. Upon hearing her breathless howls, he found tears rolling down his cheeks as well.

Max was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

But he could not change anything. The only thing he could do was let her have her wish.

Clearly, Laura still loved him, but she pushed him away anyway.

She must have some painful secret that she couldn't tell.

So Max felt he shouldn't make this more difficult for her.

Thinking of this, Max showed a wry smile.

He looked up, wiped his tears, and strode away as if nothing had happened.

Since he had a big fight with Lily, they could no longer pretend to be a couple.

He thought this might be for the best. Now, he could play the field again,

which would help him get over Laura.

Lying in bed, Laura didn't notice her body was no longer covered by the blanket. She couldn't feel cold either, for she was howling on the top of her lungs.

Feeling sorry for Laura, Maria tucked her to bed again. She held Laura in her arms, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

"There, there. Oh my sweet Laura, don't cry."
