He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 72

Looking at the evidence scattered on the floor, Ruby panicked completely.

“Cormac! I was wrong! I’m sorry!”

“I shouldn’t have schemed against Scarlett! I shouldn’t have lied! I just loved you too much! Please, forgive me! Don’t kick me out! Scarlett is dead, but you still

have me! I can give you a son…”

She knelt, banging her head on the floor, snot and tears mixing on her face, looking utterly pathetic.

Cormac looked at her hypocritical face and felt the bile rising in his throat.

He thought of Scarlett’s kindness, of how much he owed her.

Thinking of the pain she must have suffered before dying, his hatred for Ruby surged like a tsunami.

He squatted down, gripping Ruby’s jaw in a vice, his ruthless gaze making her blood run cold.

You killed my wife. You killed my child. You destroyed everything. And you think I’ll forgive you?”

I won’t let you die easily. You will pay for every single thing you did!”

is she was hauled off, Ruby glared back at Cormac,

Cormac Wilder! You’ll regret this! I did it all for love! You will regret this!”

Cormac ignored her screeching, standing silently in the living room.

Legret?

fis only regret was ever showing mercy to that snake.

The rain kept pouring, bringing a chill that soaked into his bitter heart.

He walked into the bedroom, picked up Scarlett’s favorite silk nightgown, and hugged it tight, trying to catch a lingering scent of her.

Tears fell uncontrollably again.

‘Scarlett… I’m sorry. I was wrong…”

His voice broke, choking on sobs.

“I know I messed up. Please come back. I miss you so much. Can you just visit me in a dream?”

But the only answer was the patter of rain outside and the crushing loneliness of the room.
