Before she even finished her sentence, Cole's handsome face slowly turned colder. He indignantly interrupted her, "Angeline, do you think that just any woman is qualified to carry my child?"
Angelina's gentle face became particularly stern at this moment. "Cole, my sister is innocent. She has never provoked you in any way, but one disastrous way or another, the Yorks were the ones who used disgraceful means to make her pregnant with your child. Now, she doesn't plan on aborting it. What's wrong with that?"
Cole looked at Angeline in despair. He mournfully said with many grievances, “Angeline, you're merely plotting schemes for your sister’s sake, but have you ever thought about me? The person I love is you, and it has always been you. Yet you're pushing me to another woman's side. Aren't you too cruel?"
Angeline closed her eyes. She could feel Cole's pain of being teased by fate. However, her reasoning told her that it would be best to be heartless toward him so that she could cut off that obsession he had with her.
Angeline firmly said, "Cole, please forgive me for I'm merely an ordinary girl. My heart is small and my love is very narrow. I only have space for my family.
There’s none left for you."
Cole smiled bitterly. At this moment, he appeared pale and weak. "Angeline, I just need to ask you one thing. I f Jay hadn’t returned and I was willing to spend the rest of my life waiting for you, would you have given m e a chance?"
Angeline decisively shook her head. "Even if he didn't return, I’d only have hate toward you. I’d spend the rest of my life despising your existence."
Cole continued, "What about now? What if I compete with him fairly?"
Angeline earnestly asked him, "Why are you so persistent? Knowing that there'll be no fruition, why d o you insist on wasting your time?"
"What if I insist on becoming a moth that wants to fly into the flame?" Cole was unbending.
Angelline replied helplessly, "Cole, I'm truly grateful for your groundless love for me. But you should know i t yourself that I love Jaybie as persistently as you love me. I'm willing to accept all grievances for him. Even i f I die, I still won't let him go. I only have him in my eyes. It’s as if I've been cursed for life. My obsession is worse than yours, so tell me, how am I ever going to give up on him?"
Cole glared at Jay. "Then, I'll just kill him!"
Angeline retorted, "I'll be wherever he is, and I'll follow him to the edge of the world. Even when he's dead, I'll follow him to heaven."
Cole,
He had won every single time ever since he was a child, and there was no losing in his dictionary. He had never tasted defeat.
