The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 471

But what about him?

He had sat high on his pedestal, reveling in her desperate, pathetic attempts to please him. Throughout all those agonizing years, he hadn't spent even a fraction of his attention truly caring about her.

He had poured all his time, energy, gentleness, and patience into someone else.

He had never once looked her in the eye, never spent a single second trying to learn what she liked.

And now, he comes crashing into her life with this grand spectacle, buying out an entire street and acting like a man deeply, madly in love.

He kept insisting that he wanted her to stay, claiming he had spent two years searching for her, yet he didn't even know her most lethal allergy.

In his world, he only ever lived within his own delusions and absolute control.

He casually picked out some overly sweet pastry and just assumed it was her favorite thing in the world.

He thought whatever he gave was the best. He thought that if he offered a few gentle words and a slice of cake, she should weep with gratitude and obediently follow him home like a puppet on a string.

His so-called deep affection was even more sickening than his cruelty.

Hearing the words "mango allergy," Gideon Hayes froze in place.

The fingers gripping the saucer trembled violently. The tender doting in his eyes solidified in an instant, replaced by utter bewilderment and shock.

She was allergic to mangoes?

She couldn't eat them?

Gideon dazedly raised his left hand, pressing his knuckles hard against his temple as a flash of confusion crossed his eyes.

Had he really been that neglectful of her in the past?

Back in The Metropolis, he had focused entirely on his career and the complex corporate battles of the business world.
