Chapter 1721 Take Responsibility

Stanley had always been scheming and meticulous in his plans, leaving no details

overlooked.

However, after meeting her, he realized that he was not as adept as he thought, believing

that everything was under his control.

At least, when it came to her, he suffered a great defeat.

After listening to Stanley's explanation, Natalie had mixed feelings.

She had always thought that he had ulterior motives for his actions.

However, she never expected that it was solely because he wanted to be with her.

Stanley said, “I'm sorry. My past self has disappointed you. I know that in your eyes, I've

always been the charming and gentle doctor in a white coat, incapable of engaging in

such repulsive acts. However, I'm sorry. That's not the real me. The real me is sinister,

selfish, and ruthless. I...”

“That's enough.” Natalie raised her hand to interrupt Stanley.

Stanley looked at her, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. “I'm not saying all this to seek

your forgiveness because I know what I did was wrong.”

Natalie raised her head and gazed at him. “Let me ask you something. If you still haven't

realized that the person you truly love is not me but Joyce, would you take the initiative to

explain all this to me?”

Stanley pursed his lips and remained silent.

It was obvious that he wouldn't.

Not realizing that the person he loved was Joyce meant that he thought the person he

loved was her.

In that case, he naturally wouldn't tell her that he was the one behind all these things.

Even if she already knew it was him, he wouldn't personally admit it.

At least, his disguised identity would not be exposed, and he still retained some positive

impressions in Natalie's perception.

However, now that he realized that the person he truly loved was not her but Joyce,

everything changed.

It was because he no longer needed to worry about what kind of image he held in Natalie's

heart.

Hence, all of this could be stated outright.

“I get it.” Natalie's lips curled into a mocking smile, indicating that she understood

Stanley's meaning.

Stanley pursed his lips. “I'm sorry to disappoint you.”

Natalie rubbed her temples. “I am quite disappointed. After all, I trusted you completely in

the past and thought that you were a good person. I never imagined you would do such

things. I never doubted you until Jacqueline told me because the image of you in my mind

was so good that it never occurred to me that you would do anything to disappoint me.

But in the end, you still let me down.”

Stanley remained silent.

Natalie looked at the coffee table, and her gaze was distant. “Stanley, do you know? In

fact, I don't hate you at all for burning down my textile mill. You saved me and my son, so I

hold no grudges even if you had caused my bankruptcy. The only thing I can't let go of is

what you did to Connor. Do you know that you almost cost him his life?”

“I know. I'm sorry.” Stanley gripped the glass tightly.

His apology was sincere and not just empty words.

He never intended to harm Connor, and he did care for him.

Therefore, he had always felt guilty for almost causing Connor's death.

He just didn't know how to face Connor, and he never wanted her to find out what a

terrible person he really was. That was why he never made up for his past mistakes.

With that thought in mind, Stanley looked at Natalie and said, “Don't worry. I will take

responsibility for my actions.”

Natalie's eyes widened slightly. “How do you plan to take responsibility?”

“What do you want me to do?” Stanley asked in response.

Natalie shook her head and replied, “Actually, I don't have any expectations for you to do

anything, and I don't want you to make any amends. As I mentioned earlier, I don't hate

you because you saved our lives. I'm just unable to accept what you did to Connor. He's

the real victim here. If you want to make amends, it should be to him. If Connor forgives

you, then I won't hold it against you for whatever you do.”

Naturally, what she mentioned was merely the grievances between them.

As for the matter between him and Joyce, that was something they would have to resolve

themselves.
