The car was so quiet that no sound could be heard.
After a long time, Stanley said slowly, "I have told you last time that I'm married."
The meaning of his words was very concise. It was impossible to go back to the old days.
And...
"Before the incident, I had already made it clear to you that there was no possibility between us since you were with Liam."
Stanley said lightly but with a clear message.
Rebecca did not believe that he was really so ruthless. She looked straight into his eyes and said loudly, "If I told you that I was not willing to be with Liam back then, would you believe me?"
Stanley's eyes fell on her. "When you were with him, did he force himself on you every time like what happened today?"
Rebecca trembled and couldn't say a word.
Back then, before Stanley found out about them, she was genuine and honest when she was with Liam. Later, when Stanley found out about them, she decided that she wanted to break up with Liam. She insisted on leaving but Liam did not let her go and forced himself on her without any affection. After that, he told her indifferently that the reason why he chose to be with her was that he wanted to seduce her and see how Stanley would react when he saw them together.
Since then, Rebecca hated Liam from the bottom of her heart.
She regretted that she had betrayed Stanley in a moment of confusion.
With a snap, Rebecca slapped herself in the face.
"What are you doing?" Stanley grabbed her hand as she tried to slap herself again.
Rebecca struggled and panted, "You must have been irritated when you saw me with Liam seven years ago. After that, I wanted to explain to you, but you didn't listen to me and simply said that you wanted to break up with me. Later, I came to my senses and realized that I had done something disgusting and horrible. I don't expect you to forgive me, but don't treat me like a stranger! I slapped myself for you. You should have slapped me as hard as that back then!"
Stanley's thin lips were tightly closed, revealing the beautiful tight jawlines.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't do that! If you hate me, you can beat me and scold me all you want, or even kill me, but please don't be so indifferent to me. I can't stand it!"
Rebecca held his arm and burst into tears. "I don't mind even if you get married. I just want to stay with you. I don't mind being called a mistress. I don't mind how you get along with your wife. I don't mind all of that! Even if you spend the rest of your life with her, I don't mind! I just want to go back to your side and see you every day!"
Stanley wanted to pull back his arm, but she refused to let him go.
"Stanley, I only have this small wish. Can you promise me?"
Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes.
Stanley pulled back his hand with half of his strength and said indifferently, "What happened back then is in the past. I used to take it to heart, but now I've moved on. I can forgive you."
Rebecca was overjoyed. "Really..."
"As for you saying that you want to see me every day and don't mind being a mistress, I'm sorry, I don't agree with that."
Rebecca was stunned, and the joy on her face froze.
"I'm married, so I will definitely go home to
"Oh, okay." Anthony immediately came to his senses and closed the door.
Rebecca looked at the man beside her and pursed her lips. After a long time, she said slowly, "It's impossible between us, isn't it?"
Stanley looked down at her. "Don't worry. Since you're back, I won't let anyone hurt you this time, but you need to understand that I am now a man with a wife."
He was really meticulous. She only needed to ask him a question and he would solve all her worries.
Closing her eyes, Rebecca smiled. "You've always been a very good man. How did I become blind and be with Liam?"
People were coming and going outside the car that formed a stark contrast to the quiet ambiance inside the car. Stanley looked at Rebecca, who had not changed at all for seven years, and said in a deep voice, "It's not your fault. It's me."
Rebecca opened her eyes and looked at him.
"When you were with me, we met only once a month, and that was on normal circumstances. When I was on a mission, we couldn't even see each other for at least six months." Stanley looked at her. "Now that I think about it, I don't blame you for being with Liam under such circumstances."
Rebecca widened her eyes in disbelief.
As if thinking of something, Stanley lowered his gazes and a smile appeared on his sexy thin lips. "My wife asked about you and me, and I told her briefly. She put herself in your shoes, as in a woman's perspective, and said that you were so pitiful back then for being my girlfriend. We hardly ever saw each other and didn't even go on a date. She thought I was a jerk."
Rebecca's lips trembled and her eyes reddened. "I don't blame you. You were in the army back then, and you didn't have time..."
"But that doesn't disguise the fact that I didn't take you seriously." Stanley looked straight at her. "If we really love each other, no matter where I am or what I do, I will spare some time to be with you."
