When I Met You novel Chapter 11

Susan could clearly feel Edward’s menacing and cold aura. She couldn’t utter even one word even though it had been some time she was in the car, and only after the car had travelled some distance, she swallowed hard and explained in a timid yet flattering voice, “He was my ex-boyfriend.”

Edward was certainly no fool. Since he was able to retrieve that wedding ring, he should be able to guess her relationship with that man.

He simply eyed Susan and said, “Your ex-boyfriend doesn’t look half-bad either, and he looks like he hails from a good family background. Despite that… why did you still choose to marry me?”

This was the first time Edward had pointed out such a proper and serious question in front of Susan.

In fact, Edward had brought up the same question several times previously, but it was when they were immersed in a romantic ambience while lying in bed. For those instances, Susan would explain that she had fallen for his looks and wealth.

As for now… Well, if she was to compare Edward and Jarvis in terms of looks, Edward had a more masculine outlook while Jarvis looked mellower. He had the typical young handsome guy look, but he was a tad colder compared to them.

In terms of family background… Edward was backed by an affluent family, as for Jarvis… Susan wasn’t very familiar with his upbringing. She just knew that Kendra was the director of a hospital, and his grandpa was a well-known professor in the medical field. However, Susan never saw his father before. She could only make a guess that his father was probably not by his side for some time.

If she compared them in terms of family background, Edward was the wealthier one.

“Of course it’s because of your looks and money.”

Susan just wanted to breeze through this without getting into troubles. She flashed a smile at Edward at the same time.

In response, Edward just continued to stare at her with his hawk-like eyes, “Woman, answer me seriously.”

“That’s because his mother is in the way. His family members were against me being together with him.”

“So, you’re saying that you still love him?”

Edward twisted his brows upwards as he examined Susan.

Susan shifted her gaze to the scenery outside the window and as she took in the passing scenery, she replied, “Let bygones be bygones. I don’t love him anymore.”

The moment she finished her sentence, Edward abruptly grabbed her face and made it so that she was facing him. Without warning, he pressed his lips on Susan’s lips. He was kissing her with an absolute sense of possession. It was a different kind of kiss compared to before, and he was so domineering that she found it hard to reject him.

In the past, Edward always kissed her with a tender sensation. Now, he was kissing her with too much force that she even felt painful.

Only after some time had elapsed did he let go of Susan. Her lips were now completely maroon in colour.

Edward watched Susan catching her breath and he curled the corner of his lips, “Remember what you have just said. You can never love someone from your past from now on.”
