A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1163

Yulisa's face drained of color once again, as if she had been physically struck. Tanya was right. What did her image matter if Darian didn't love her back unconditionally? If she were the one he was crazy about, she wouldn't care what the Lynn family elders thought of her. If she could trade places with Tanya, she would gladly throw her pride away!

But right now... Aside from his family's approval, what did she actually have? What was the point of it all? All she truly wanted was him! No one else mattered. He was the only person who counted in this equation. A suffocating weight pressed down on her chest. She couldn't even remember how she managed to walk out of there.

Sitting in the car on the way to the Lynn estate, she felt cold all over.

Her phone vibrated against the seat. It was a call from Darian. Her heart ached slightly at the sight of his name. She answered, "Hello."

"Did you go see her again?"

His voice came through the speaker, as cold as ice. He had never spoken to her with such frigid hostility back when they were just friends. Ever since her feelings had been exposed, every interaction between them felt incredibly tense. The effortless ease they used to share was completely gone.

For a split second, she almost regretted it. Honestly, just being his friend for the rest of her life wouldn't have been so bad. Why did things have to turn out this way?

"I..."

"What did you say to her this time?" He didn't even let her finish, his tone dropping another degree.

Yulisa fell silent.

What had she said to Tanya? To be fair, she hardly got a word in edgewise today. Before she could even state her piece, Tanya had completely torn her apart. She was the one who was traumatized from that conversation.

"What did she tell you?" she shot back.

"Yulisa!" He growled her name, clearly grinding his teeth.

"Shut your mouth!"

He cut her off with a vicious snap before she could finish. He was guarding Tanya so relentlessly. He wouldn't even let her speak a single negative word about her. With him acting like this... Would the wedding his family was planning really happen? Darian wasn't the kind of man who would just roll over and do as he was told. At that moment, she completely lost faith in whatever future they were supposed to have.

"There is absolutely no chance for us. Give it up."

"Ha!"

Give it up?

"Do you think giving up matters, Darian?"
