Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 534

"But none of that was my intention. I didn't mean to do it. I just had the wrong person. It's all Lilith's and her parents' fault. They intentionally deceived me back then, which is why I kept making the wrong choices."

"Summer, I really know how badly I messed up. Please, just give me one chance to make things right. I'll fulfill every single promise I made when we were kids. Whatever you say from now on, I'll do it. I'll only ever be good to you."

Summer continued to stare at him with icy indifference. There wasn't a shred of emotion on her face, as if she were listening to a story that had absolutely nothing to do with her.

"Xavier, I told you. I don't need your remorse, I don't need your apologies, and I certainly don't need your promises."

"If I want good food, I can buy it myself. If I want pretty clothes, I can buy those myself too. If I want a big house, I can still afford it on my own. Why would I ever rely on you? I'm not broke, and I'm not brainless."

As Summer spoke, Xavier's eyes unconsciously reddened. Tears glimmered within them, making him look genuinely heartbroken.

But what did that have to do with Summer?

"Summer..." Tears of regret slipped from the corners of Xavier's eyes as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

Pathetic and lowly, like an abandoned stray dog, he tightly grabbed the hem of Summer's pants.

"Please."

Summer glared down at him, her gaze colder than the moonlight. She spoke slowly, "Xavier, I made myself perfectly clear just now. I will not forgive you."

"Also, I don't remember anything about St. Jude's. If you were truly that important to me, I'd definitely remember you clearly. But I don't, which only proves that you don't matter."
