She refused flatly, trying to yank her hand back.
"I told you, I'm not a teenager. I don't care about this childish stuff. Even if you empty this entire park and drop it at my feet, I won't care."
"I care."
He didn't let go, catching her words with an impossibly calm tone. "I want to play. Come watch me."
Nora thought he was being completely unreasonable.
The patriarch of the Hayes Group claiming he wanted to play a cheap carnival game? It sounded utterly ridiculous.
But he didn't give her a chance to argue, keeping a firm grip on her hand as he half-dragged her to the booth.
A young employee in uniform was standing inside.
The kid was clearly one of Gideon's subordinates. The moment he saw his boss approaching, he respectfully offered up a toy rifle, quickly loading it with plastic pellets.
Gideon took the gun with one hand, tested its weight, and then turned to Nora, gesturing toward the massive white rabbit on the top shelf with his eyes.
"Do you think that rabbit is pretty?"
He asked the question with absolute seriousness.
Standing off to the side with an icy expression, Nora refused to even look at him, treating him like air.
Unbothered by her coldness, Gideon turned back to the booth and raised the toy gun.
*Pop—pop—pop—*
A rapid string of crisp plastic shots rang out.
In less than thirty seconds, an entire cluster of red balloons on the wall was wiped out.
The employee scrambled to pull the giant white rabbit down from the top shelf, handing it over to Gideon with extreme reverence.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Love I Begged For Was Never Real
Storyline is good..but author is wasting time on character's thoughts.why r u streching chapters it's really really boring and annoying.conversation between them childish.she is only saying him get out n what right do u have ..not telling him what he did to her not questioning him..demanding answer. And what happened to him why sudden change of heart care to explain author.....
For the past few chapters either she is sick or he is. It is slightly boring. Author pls let them talk about the issues , she is not at all scolding him.. every scoldings are playing in her mind only. We want some talk between them....
I am also thinking the same....
Has he mistaken Nora as Giselle?...
What happened to him🤔 did he forget everything?...
Hey can u also upload the book " woke up married to my cheating ex"....
Does he know the orphan girl is actually Nora?...
So is he trying to justify everything? At wat rite??? Wer were he wen she needed him the most.......
Haha finally going to see redemption...
I don’t think reborn will happen in this novel. It will be full of her blood only. Actually The title should be changed to only Nora’s suffering instead the love I begged was never real....
