My tolerance had a limit, and they didn’t seem to change after all the chances I gave them, so it was time to make a clear cut.
I had been enduring what they did to us for the last six years. I continued to wish for them to be smitten by their conscience, but now, I wouldn’t sit by and do nothing while they did as they pleased to cause us more suffering. They weren’t worthy enough to be family, so there was no need to tolerate them.
Only those who had gone through death knew the true happiness of life.
I loved Ashton, but I didn’t want my love to be used as a reason for his so-called family to take control over others close to me.
“Ashton, do you still agree to become the live-in son-in-law if I force you to go against the Hall family?” I felt the urge to cry as I spoke my words. This was the last time I was fighting for our relationship.
To lose the love of my life was rather painful for me, let alone I had loved the man for over ten years. My life wouldn’t be the same if Ashton wasn’t by my side anymore.
However, if he continued to neglect what his family did, those close to me would have to live their lives in fear and chaos. I believed Ashton knew the pain of losing those close to him as he had experienced it before, so he would understand my choices.
One could go on being blinded by love only for a moment, but not one’s entire life. I had awakened from my daze, but I still wanted to wait for the man I loved. I hoped that he would realize his mistakes as well.
Ashton didn’t give me a response all the while I was the only one doing the talking. After listening to my words, he kept silent and stared at me for about ten seconds before his lips curled into a smile.
I was in a mess from the fit I threw just now, and my lips were chapped. However, the man paid it no attention and tilted his head sideways as he planted a kiss on my lips.
Before I could react, his moist lips touched mine continuously.
Cupping my face gently, he landed kisses all over my face while my tears rolled down my cheeks.
As he planted the last kiss on my forehead, he slowed down his movements and lowered his gaze lovingly at me.
