The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381 Open Your Heart 

“Absolutely not!” Boris was taken aback by her response and hastily explained, “How could I ever see you as a mere vessel for reproduction? How could I…”

“Why wouldn’t you?” Ziana growled lowly. “You sc*mbag!”

“No! I didn’t mean that!” Boris felt anxious, and his thoughts became muddled. He hated the fact that he couldn’t make himself clear no matter what.

Seeing Ziana getting ready to leave the bed in her agitation, he quickly composed himself and carefully chose his words. “Think about it. If I saw you as a reproductive machine, then I would forcefully take the child from you. But what did I do? I let you leave with the child. Please calm down and listen to me.”

Ziana paused, her voice trembling. “If you don’t like me, then why did you make me pregnant?”

“Who said I don’t like you?” Boris looked into her eyes with utmost sincerity and said, “I like you.”

His expression was earnest, and his tone resolute, which left Ziana feeling even more

perplexed.

But she quickly gathered herself and said, “You like me? What about Vivi? Don’t you like her? She saved your life, and you’ve been together for so many years…”

“She’s not my savior,” Boris interrupted her, “She deceived me.”

Ziana was taken aback. “Deceived you?”

“Yes. Five years ago, when the Lewis family had an accident, I woke up, and she was by

my side.”

“That means she saved you, right?” Ziana scoffed.

Boris smiled bitterly. “Yes, that’s what I thought too. That’s what she said at the time, and I regarded her as my savior. I asked her how I could repay her, and she said she wanted to be my girlfriend. So, we got together, but I never truly liked her. I never did. I only felt gratitude towards her as someone who saved my life.

“But that gratitude gradually dwindled. I realized that she was different from the woman I dreamt of when I was unconscious. It was a strange feeling… It was hard to

explain. Yet, I still fulfilled her every request.

“She wanted something, and I gave it to her. Later, she wanted to marry me to become the matriarch of the Lewis family. At that time, I thought all women were the same, and it didn’t matter whom I married. Since she wanted it, I gave it to her without much

thought.”

Ziana sneered.

Boris glanced at her and said, “But then you suddenly appeared, and you changed everything. The moment I saw you, I felt something different. When you said you wanted to stay, I was happy. When we went to register our marriage, I was happy. I felt like I was becoming someone strange, but I let those emotions flourish.

“I started to feel truly alive because of your presence. I enjoyed chatting with you on

WhatsApp. I rarely used my phone before and disliked the back-and-forth messaging. But one day, I realized that while I was working, I was distracted, eagerly waiting for

your messages.

“I was happy when your message arrived, and I was angry when it didn’t.

“When you came home, you were always there, talking to me. I was happy about that,

but unfortunately, I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to talk too much with you. because I always felt guilty when I was with you. So, I forced myself not to show you any kindness.”

Ziana listened as if she were hearing a story, except that she was one of the main

characters.

Ziana pondered for a moment and softly asked, “Why?”

“Because your presence made me betray my promise to my savior,” Boris looked at her and pressed his lips together, saying, “If you hadn’t appeared, I would have married her out of gratitude, just like my parents did. It wouldn’t have been a love-filled marriage, but she and I could have had children and numbly lived out our lives.”

“You came into my dull and peaceful life like an enchanting spirit. You made me greedy, vibrant, and fulfilled. You gave me so many emotions, transforming me into someone I no longer recognized. Deep down, I enjoyed it. However, the debt of gratitude was like a shackle, suffocating me.
