Chapter 622
“It’s up to me to decide what’s good for me.” Thomas declared with a tinge of hardness in his voice.
Sylvia frowned sternly, “She’s your mother, you can’t just ignore her feelings.”
“I’ll change her mind and make her give us her blessings.” He insisted adamantly.
Sylvia could not help but turn to look at him.
The look in his eyes did not contain the usual stillness within them. Instead, they now looked deep and
filled with an immeasurable darkness, as if they were bottomless pools.
There was a stubbornness in his eyes, mixed with something she could not recognize.
It suddenly seemed as if there was no challenge in this world that would be too great for him.
It took Sylvia a while before she came back to her senses. She stated solemnly, “Things are not as
simple as you think.”
He immediately answered, “It’s not as complicated as you think it is either. I can handle anything as
long as you are willing to let me.”
Sylvia fell silent for several seconds, before she averted her gaze from him and declared, “It’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtimpossible. Please stop wasting your time on me.”
To this, he made no reply and only silently looked at her.
The room fell silent and the very air seemed to freeze as if the coolness from outside was seeping in
through the windows.
Sylvia turned to him and frowned.
He still looked pale and very weak, but his eyes were stubbomly fixed on her like a child who was
longing for candy.
Sylvia chose to be frank with him, “Thomas, there is another reason that I can’t be together with you.”
“What is it?”
“I signed a divorce settlement agreement with Odell and one of the clauses clearly stated that if I ever
remarried, I would have to give up custody of the kids to him.”
Her children were everything to her. There was no way that she would ever give up custody of them, so
she could never remarry.
Silence descended upon them again for several seconds.
A coy smile suddenly appeared on his face as he asked,” So, that means you can still be in a
relationship, can’t
you?”
Sylvia was taken aback by this.
There was a serious and gentle look in his eyes as he went on, “As long as I can be with the person I
love, it doesn’t matter to me whether we get married or not.”
Sylvia was taken aback by this yet again.
She lowered her head to avoid his burning gaze and said,” It’s not fair to you.”
He was a good man, she could not make him sacrifice his future happiness for her.
“If I can’t be with the person I love, I’d rather live in solitude until I die.” After a pause, he went on, “Do
you think this is fair for me?”
Sylvia frowned and felt a tightness in her chest.
It seemed to her that he had always been by himself ever since the day she had met him, which was
the day she had married into the Carter family.
Despite Mrs. Carter’s best attempts to find him a partner, he had always chosen to be solitary over
having companionship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt one point, she had even suspected that he was not into girls.
She had never thought that she was the reason he had been single all this time.
Countless interactions with him over the years suddenly replayed in her mind.
Almost every time she had been in trouble, he had appeared at the most critical time. At this point, he
had already saved her life twice.
His kindness to her was not something that could be explained with mere words. It was not something
she could simply repay either.
If he could not be with her, would he really rather be alone until he became old?
Silence dominated the room.
Sylvia was completely lost in her thoughts. After what seemed like forever in this disorientating state,
she suddenly felt something cool on her forehead.
She looked up only to meet his handsome, even if slightly pale face.
At some point, he had gotten out of bed without her noticing. He stood in front of her, dressed in light
clothing and gazed at her deeply as he asked, “Can’t you give me a chance?”
Sylvia stammered, “…What kind of chance?”
As if he could not see that she was playing dumb, Thomas smiled and clarified, “A chance to prove my
dedication to
you.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. He smiled faintly, “I’ll just take your silence as a yes.”
