President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 685

“But she hasn’t forgiven me yet! Gentry, I’m the one in the wrong. I used such despicable means to hurt her. I must be out of my mind at that time.”

“For a long time, I thought I hoped to come back in the last few months of my life because I wanted to clear things up with Christine to leave no regrets behind. Besides, I wanted to see Chad one more time.”

“But now, I suddenly found that I was wrong. I got it all wrong. I don’t care about Chad anymore. Nor do I care if I’ve explained myself clearly to Christine.”

“What really matters to me is whether she still sees me as her sister, whether she still cares about me, and whether she can forgive me! Gentry, do you get it?”

“I’ve worked really hard to carry myself with ease as if I care about nothing. But truthfully, only I know that I still care a lot.”

“I care about her resentment toward me. It still bothers me that she let me live 26 years ago even though she hated me so much! I still can’t figure out why she did that.”

“What I care about most is if I could still get her forgiveness even though I have lived a ridiculous life like a big joke.

“Now I’m nearing the end of my life, I finally realize what matters to me most. Gentry, I’m begging you. Take me to see her one more time, will you?”

Gentry’s face was stony.

Kristina’s speech was moving. It was from the bottom of her heart.

But to Gentry, those words were like steel needles that mercilessly pierced his heart.

He bent over, held the armrests of the chair she was sitting in, and gazed at her unblinkingly.

“You said that you only realized what mattered to you most at the end of your life. That’s to say, the most important people in your life are still that man and that sister who is not even related to you.”

“In the numbered days you have, you’re still thinking about her, wishing she can forgive you or even be your sister again! Then what about me? Where do you place me in your life?”

Gentry let out low laughs and clenched his chest with his hand. Though he was laughing, his eyes became tearful.

“I wish you could touch and feel my heart! It is filled with you. It’s been 26 years. Kristina, I’ve been with you for 26 years. What am I to you?

“You couldn’t possibly believe that only the feelings you have for Christine are cherished, but my feelings are nothing. I deserve to exchange 26 years’ waiting for an insignificant role in your life. Isn’t that what you think?”

Kristina was stupefied.

Rooted to the chair, she stared at the man who was on the verge of going crazy, as though this was the first time this issue occurred to her.

“Gentry, I…”

“Enough!”

Gentry directly cut her off as if he no longer wanted to hear a word she said.

He got to his feet. The eyes he fixed on her were brimmed with disappointment. Shaking his head, he backed away.

“It’s not until now that I realized how silly I’d been! I thought you could be moved. It might take a year or even a decade. Even if you were an ice queen, you would be moved if I cared for you for more than 20 years.

“But I was wrong. Some ice queens just couldn’t be moved. You see everyone in the world, but you just can’t see the man who loves you the most.

“Kristina, you never loved me, did you? Even though we’ve spent all those years together, you never cared about me.”

“I…”

Kristina attempted to answer him, but he interrupted her again.

“Never mind! It no longer matters. Nothing matters now. Anyway, in this game, I’m the biggest moron!”

After shouting that, Gentry spun around and left.

Kristina watched him go away. She remained dazed for a long time, then tightly clenched her fists.

“Gentry, you’re wrong.”

“You really got me wrong.”

“You’ve played a very important part in my life.”
