Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 591

Anneliese turned and looked at Nishay, who was slumped on the hospital bed, looking tired and worried.

Nishay's words had been earnest and heavy. There was truth in them.

But...

Jonathan had always been innocent. He never really did anything wrong.

The only questionable thing he'd ever done was hide his identity when they first met.

But even that wasn't out of any bad intention.

Whenever Anneliese thought about him, all she remembered was the way he always protected and supported her, as well as the endless patience he gave her...

Even if he hid who he was, it was just because he was worried she'd refuse his help if she knew the truth.

She couldn't possibly turn around and blame him for being deceitful after everything he'd done for her. That would just be selfish.

Back when her grandma was dead set against their relationship, she'd even thought about breaking up. She brought up the idea of taking a break.

But the moment Jonathan disappeared, she was devastated and immediately regretted it.

That's when she realized she'd already fallen for him without even noticing.

She didn't want to just let him go and give up without a fight.

Jonathan said what he felt for her wasn't guilt or repayment. He said he knew exactly what true love was, and Anneliese chose to believe him.

As for all that stuff her grandmother said about family status and outside opinions, she was willing to face them with Jonathan.

After all, she'd dealt with plenty of rumors in her life already.

She'd stopped caring so much about what people thought a long time ago.

When she'd been with Zacharias, all the drama and finger-pointing left her feeling unworthy and insecure. She always felt like she didn't deserve him.

She bent over backwards and swallowed her pride, thinking it would buy her a stable marriage, only to find out it was all a lie in the end.

She would never make that mistake again!

Jonathan's every action told her she was worthy and enough.

He had been the one helping her rediscover herself and become her best self.

Her grandma might think she didn't measure up to Jonathan, but she didn't want his money or status. She was just as good as anyone else.

He was the kind of partner who helped her learn to love herself.
