That was when he finally realized that he could never truly hold onto his grudge towards her. His threat to never forgive her was empty; he simply couldn't do it!Serenity felt a bit embarrassed when she realized that Jackson was thinking about their own misunderstanding. She said, "Jack, let's not have any more misunderstandings from now on!"If Monica Hart hadn't gloated, would Lisa have remained in the dark forever? Would she have missed out on Terry forever?Sometimes, even the most passionate love couldn't withstand misunderstandings. Serenity didn't want something like that to happen to her and Jackson one day. If they were to miss out on each other because of a misunderstanding, it would be the most regrettable and foolish thing ever."Okay," Jackson replied, "There won't be any misunderstanding between us!"Lisa, accompanied by her parents, boarded the high-speed train to Jorvik. Lisa remained anxious throughout the journey.For the past few days, whenever she closed h
Lisa's father added, "No matter what happens, you will always have our support. Our pension is more than enough to raise a grandkid!"Lisa's eyes welled up with tears when she heard that. She had made impulsive decisions, getting pregnant before marriage and choosing to keep the baby, but her parents had supported her unwaveringly.She felt incredibly grateful to have them as her parents.After saying goodbye to her parents, Lisa made her way towards the White Maple Group.Would she be able to see Terry? Would Terry be willing to see her?In hindsight, she realized how close she had been to finding true happiness. If she didn't misunderstand when she saw Monica Hart leave Terry's mansion, if she had believed in Terry's love for her and clarified things with him, would they still have parted ways?At the entrance of the White Maple Group headquarters, Lisa suddenly froze.Several figures emerged from within, with Terry leading the way.He was dressed sharply and was slightly thi
But Lisa refused to let go. "Terry, there's so much I need to say. Please, just give me a moment.""I have nothing to say to you," Terry replied, pulling his arm away. He continued towards the waiting car without even looking back.Desperate, Lisa shouted, "Terry, I love you!"Terry's subordinates and the passersby who heard her all turned to her in surprise.However, to Lisa's disappointment, Terry got into the car without a word, closing the door without looking back.Sympathetic and mocking gazes fell upon Lisa. A senior executive even reprimanded the security guards for allowing a suspicious person to get close to the CEO.The security guards quickly approached Lisa, pulling her away.Lisa's eyes remained on the car until it disappeared from sight.A security guard tried to communicate with her, but she couldn't bring herself to listen. Her thoughts were consumed by Terry's gaze and his words.She had prepared herself mentally for that to happen, but the pain was still ove
To Terry's surprise, when he arrived home at the White family mansion that evening, he saw Lisa being stopped outside the gate by the security guards.He did not expect her to come here.Lisa had also seen Terry's car. She tried to approach him, but the security guards blocked her path, preventing her from getting closer.Another security guard quickly approached Terry and relayed the message through the lowered car window, "Mr. White, this lady claims to be your friend and wants to see you.""I have no such friend. Chase her away!" Terry responded, and the car window rolled back up.As Terry's car entered the White family mansion, the security guard told Lisa, "Mr. White said he doesn't have a friend like you. Please leave and stop daydreaming!"The security guard clearly mistook Lisa for one of those women who sought to get close to Terry, hoping to climb the social ladder.Though embarrassed, Lisa refused to leave. She took out a foldable stool from her bag and unpacked water
Lisa finished packing, but before she could call a taxi, she was stopped by the security guard at the gate. "Ma'am, Mr. White wishes to see you. You may enter now," the security guard's tone and demeanor were much more respectful than before.Lisa was taken aback, a mixture of surprise and joy crossing her face. Terry wanted to see her?! She could finally have a proper conversation with him and seek his forgiveness!But... would he forgive her?The image of Terry outside the White Maple Group headquarters flashed through her mind once again. She quickly shook her head, telling herself not to overthink. The most important thing now was... she could finally see him!Lisa entered the White family mansion and was escorted to the living room by the servants. The living room was grand and opulent, but it emitted an inexplicable coldness.Terry was standing in the center of the living room, his handsome face exuding a sense of coldness."All of you may leave. No one is allowed in here
Lisa approached Terry, her voice trembling. "But I understand now. Five years ago, you agreed to Monica Hart's conditions and broke up with me to protect me. Five years later, you once again protected me from Monica Hart even though you were suffering from the blood parasite that made you feel immense pain every time you touched me. You let Monica Hart into your mansion in order to remove the parasite..."Terry remained emotionless, his face devoid of any expression as he listened. Her tears, sobs, and regrets seemed to hold no significance to him."Oh, so now you know?" he finally responded, his tone indifferent.Lisa bit her lip. "That day, when I went to the mansion to find you, I wanted to tell you that we could start over. But when I saw Monica Hart leaving your mansion, I thought that you and her... I didn't realize it was because of the blood parasite. I misunderstood!""Yes, you misunderstood," Terry murmured. "But if you could misunderstand so easily, you must have never t
"Lisa, it's over between us!" Terry coldly withdrew his hand. Lisa could keenly feel the sudden emptiness in her hand and the loss of warmth on her belly.It's over? They could never get back together?"If that's all you wanted to say, don’t come looking for me again. From now on, if you have any business with me, contact my secretary," Terry said."Contact your secretary?" Lisa was flabbergasted. "How much do you want for child support? You can discuss it with my secretary. I'll pay as long as the amount is reasonable. You can do whatever you want with the baby. I don't care if you keep it or abort it," Terry said flatly."I... I didn't come for money," Lisa said weakly."Whatever. Anyway..."Before Terry could finish his sentence, Lisa suddenly took a step forward, her hands gripping Terry's neck firmly. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.The unexpected kiss made Terry tense up. He reflexively tried to push her away, but when his hands touched her body, he
Terry shuddered. His lips parted despite himself. The taste of her tears filled his mouth, dismantling the walls he had erected. All his senses were drawn towards her.He closed his eyes uncontrollably. Now, even if he were to kiss her and hold her like this, he wouldn't be tormented by the blood parasite anymore.He felt as if they had returned to the very beginning, when their love was pure and untainted by pain or betrayal. In that moment, she was his forever, and he was the only one she loved.When the kiss ended, Lisa's breathless voice reached his ears. "Terry, you still have feelings for me, don't you? You still love me, don't you?"Terry snapped back to reality, forcefully opening his eyes and pulling her arms away from his neck."You make that assumption based on a single kiss? If I kiss other people, does that mean I have feelings for them too?" Terry asked, suppressing the rapid beating of his heart.He was keenly aware of how hard he was bluffing.Lisa's face paled,
