The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 796

Once again, he had seen right through my thoughts, knowing exactly what I wanted to ask before I even opened my mouth.

Invisible hands plucked at my heartstrings, sending my emotions spiraling into chaos.

For my sake, he was willing to let go of the fact that Maxwell had ruthlessly manipulated and used him.

For my sake, he was willing to afford him the respect of a father-in-law.

For my sake, he buried all his past resentment.

When did Ferris become like this?

But why hadn't he asked if I even wanted him to change this much?

The heater in the car was blasting, wrapping me in a suffocating warmth. I stared at him for a long time, my throat tightening uncomfortably. "You really don't have to do that."

I didn't need him to compromise his own pride for me.

My feelings for Maxwell had shattered the day he finally told me the truth.

The only reason I was rushing to the Care Center today was to demand answers about one specific thing.

I absolutely did not want Ferris bending over backward like this, because to me, it felt like he was constantly forcing himself to endure unfair treatment.

And because I loved him, I hated seeing him compromise himself.

"Alright, it's just a small thing. Don't let it weigh on you." Ferris smiled easily, reaching over to affectionately mess up my hair. He spun the steering wheel with one hand and brought the car to a smooth halt. "We're here."

I blinked, realizing we had already pulled up to the Greenwood Care Center.

The heavy iron gates slowly swung open. As Ferris guided the Range Rover into a parking space, I stepped out, only to completely freeze when my eyes landed on the car parked in the adjacent spot.

A vintage crimson Porsche. The color was obnoxiously loud, an outdated model from at least five years ago.

I knew exactly who owned it, but for a second, my brain refused to supply the name.

"Selena, ready?" While I was still staring blankly at the Porsche, Ferris walked over and wrapped a protective arm around my waist.
