Rejected, And Became A Heiress (Cara) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 0133 

Alaric’s POV 

In that moment, the air almost falls completely silent. 

All sound fades from my ears, and I am stunned by Colin’s words, unsure of what to say. My mind is overwhelmed with a swirl of thoughts, the shock of what was just said leaving me dazed and almost lost. 

Aidan and Ryan are equally speechless, mouths hanging open in shock, unable to find their voices. 

But Colin–who has always been the quiet one, trailing behind Eamon and Cara like a shadow–looks at his brothers with a mixture of disbelief and disappointment, as if he’s watching children bicker. Then, with a sigh, he turns away. 

We see him shift his gaze toward Cara’s house and shout. 

“Cara-!”

Colin calls out in a voice loud enough that she’s sure to hear from inside. “Are you awake?” 

Ryan: “. 

Aidan: ” 

… 

… 

)) 

Naturally, no response comes from inside the house. 

“Wait, Colin, why are you calling for Cara?” Aidan finally breaks his silence. “You just told us not to interfere with them, but now you’re…” 

It’s clear that Colin is speechless, with no words for his brothers. So he turns back and continues shouting at the house: 

“Aidan just gave Alaric a few punches. Alaric probably has something to say to you too. I’ve already scolded them, and I’m going to drag the idiot twins away. You can talk to Alaric alone.” 

Aidan, still not understanding, says, “Wait, I still don’t get—” 

Colin cuts him off, “Then you’ll never get it. We’re leaving now.‘ 

“…No wonder Dad never paid attention to you when you were younger and forced you to study. Those girls who adore you are so pathetic, actually wanting to date a thick–headed fool like you.” 

(( 

Ryan, who had been silent up until now, finally speaks, giving Aidan a punch. Alright, we should go. You’re a racing champion idiot with only that in your head.” Aidan: “Hey, twins! Why are you even saying this? If I’m the idiot, then what about you?!” 

But Ryan ignores him. He turns back to Colin with an apologetic look. “…Sorry, bro, I was wrong. You’re right. You’re definitely the most mature one of us.‘ 

“You should apologize to Cara later,” Colin says, before turning around and dragging Aidan away. 

“…I will,” Ryan mutters. 

The three red–headed Arbuns, bickering away, are finally ready to leave. 

Meanwhile, I stand in front of Cara’s house, watching them leave without sparing me a glance. 

I bite my lip, clenching my fist. After a deep breath, I finally call out to them. 

“…Wait, please.” 

All three red heads turn back to look at me. 

(( 

…I’m sorry. What I said earlier, I meant every word of it. I… I don’t know how to prove it, but I truly love Cara.” 

I take another deep breath. “You were right. I admit everything you said. I’ve been selfish. I never considered Cara’s feelings. I was just wrapped up in my own emotions, trying to move myself without thinking of her.” 

-Wake up, everything he said is the truth. 

I think back to everything I’ve done to Cara. 

I disrespected her. I used her. Because of me, the orphan she was at the time had no choice but to flee the pack. 

She was in a car accident because of me. I saw it all–the one time I promised I’d never see her again, my beloved woman pale in a hospital bed, miscarrying, losing our child. 

Then, after we reunited, I think back to what I did. 

So what if she’s married to Aylon Arbun now? What does it matter that she has a husband? These are not excuses for delaying my apology.

Chapter 0133 

She loves me, but that doesn’t mean she should respond to my proposal. I’ve hurt her so much. Even if she once loved me, who would want to get back together with a bastard who’s hurt them–let alone marry them? 

“…” I. 

“I know, I was wrong. I’ve done so much wrong,” I say bitterly. “But at least, please believe me when I say, I truly love her.”
