Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521

Winnie looked at Michael’s face and, without knowing why, spoke.

There were still droplets of water on his features. Without his glasses, his brows and eyes looked so gentle it almost hurt to see them.

Over the years, Winnie had seen countless men’s eyes, but only this pair-she felt she would never grow tired of

them.

“What way?” Michael asked seriously.

Her heartbeat quickened.

That way was… marriage.

If she married Michael, she could leave the Olson family openly and legally, freed from the Olsons’ guardianship. That was precisely why the Olson family had always gone to such lengths to sabotage her relationships and marriage prospects.

Winnie thought it over and over again. In Goldmont, the only family the Olsons dared not act against recklessly was the Morrison family.

Seen that way, Michael was an exceptionally good marriage candidate.

And that was exactly why, from a very young age, the Olson family had been wary of him.

They had planted a seed in her heart early on, making her believe that an heir like Michael could never stay by her side forever-that clinging to the Morrison family would only bring her humiliation.

On the surface, Winnie seemed bold and sharp-tongued, but in truth, she was the most timid of all, especially when it came to love.

If Michael had not treated her so well-if he had not given her even the slightest chance to develop real feelings for him-perhaps she would have been with him long ago.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Michael waited for her answer. “Do you need my help? As long as you ask, I’ll do everything I can.”

She believed him. If she opened her mouth now, even if she asked him for a sham marriage, he would agree.

But his gaze was too gentle.

The words that hovered on her tongue were swallowed back down.

Their bond, built from childhood to now, was far sturdier than she had imagined. Time and again, Michael had charged forward for her sake, even knowing that the emptiness in her heart could never truly be filled-even when it left him covered in wounds.
