The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 447

Audrey wasn't stupid. She had noticed Adrian's shift in behavior a long time ago.

She had just bitten her tongue and endured it.

She had been terrified it was all in her head, and that bringing it up would only make him angry.

But now, it was blindingly clear.

It wasn't in her head at all.

Adrian had genuinely changed.

Yet, he remained tight-lipped, refusing to answer the question.

Desperate for the truth, Audrey pushed him relentlessly.

"Tell me, why?"

"You used to be so deeply in love with me!"

For her, he used to go to bars and drink himself into oblivion.

He used to watch over her from the shadows, noticing every little sniffle or headache before Arthur ever did, and rushing to care for her.

Whenever she was upset, Adrian would move heaven and earth to make her smile.

Back then, Audrey felt like the luckiest woman in the world.

Even when Arthur died, she hadn't been completely devastated.

Because she still had Adrian.

But now...

It felt like she had nothing.

Adrian was physically there, but his heart was long gone.

And his heart was the only thing Audrey wanted right now.

"Adrian..."

Eyes red, Audrey opened her arms, walked over, and wrapped them tightly around his waist, burying her face in his chest.

"Tell me the truth, please? I just want the truth. Please don't lie to me."

Adrian sighed and gently pushed her away.

"Fine. I'll tell you the truth."

Audrey held her breath, every nerve ending screaming with tension.

The answer meant everything to her.

But Adrian's face was completely devoid of emotion.

"You were right. From the very beginning, I never intended to marry you."

Audrey clenched her fists, biting her lip so hard she tasted blood.

So... it was true.

"Why? I thought you loved me?"

Her voice trembled violently.

"I did. I really liked you in the past. But I'm no longer sure if my feelings were genuine love, or just a bruised ego."
