Chapter 264


    Chapter 264


    Once John dozed off, he slept deeply through the night.He didn''t realize when Cordy woke up and


    slipped away.


    In fact, history had repeated itself.


    Last night, he helped Cordy wash her body after she fell asleep.He was afraid she would catch a cold.


    Once he was done and had taken a shower, he suddenly felt wide awake.His mind was filled with


    thoughts on exining the state they were ine morning. novel.e.book By the time he fell asleep,


    the sun had already started to rise.


    However, he silently told himself he would not oversleep as he had back then.He couldn''t let Cordy slip


    through his fingers again, and he would exin everything clearly.


    Luckily, he did manage to wake up just as she was about to leave.


    Though she was looking at him in a disdainful manner.


    "I..."


    John started to exin.


    Cordy shook his hand off and said, "Just forget aboutst night.What happened, happened.I''m already


    used to it.Once you wake up, you should leave."


    "Last night, we-"


    "I don''t want to hate you more than I do now,"


    Cordy interrupted again, turning back to look at John.The moment her eyesnded on the man, she


    paused.


    After John sat up, the covers fell off his body, and his naked torso was on disy.


    The lingering scratches and bloodied marks on his body were hideous to look at...Especially his neck.It


    was horrifying.


    There were teeth marks, deep and red.


    Cordy swallowed harshly and suddenly remembered what John had said before; that if she had stayed


    back then, she would have seen the wounds and bruises he had been covered in.


    As it turned out, he hadn''t been lying.


    Cordy turned away and said coldly, "If I me you for what happenedst night, it would be ungrateful


    of me since what could’ve happened instead would have been worse.I was an idiot when dealing with


    Kyle, and it was his fault thatst night happened.Compared to what could’ve happened...Well, I rather


    it not have been Kyle.You saved me, and I should be thankful to you. novel.e.book However, my


    feelings are a different matter altogether.There are also things I can''t ept, even if I fall apart.The


    trauma and shadows in my heart from when I was eighteen haven''t receded.Repeating the same


    mistake now has just...left me reluctant to face it."


    John stared at Cordy, looking at how she struggled to suppress her emotions.She clearly held a lot of


    hatred for him, but she was doing her best to ept the situation.


    "Consider it my selfish desire.I don''t want to talk about anything that happenedst night, nor do I want


    to remember anything about it.I''ll fool myself and pretend that nothing happened," Cordy continued.


    "So...You should leave."


    "I won''t," John suddenly said firmly with no hesitation.His eyes were determined, and there was a hint


    of anger in them.


    Cordy bit her lips hard.Her eyes also filled with rage.

    "What right do you have to dislike me so much?"


    John shot back.Cordy clenched her fist and pushed down the emotions that threatened to surface.


    "It was both our first times, yet somehow, mine isn''t worth anything?" John eximed, looking at her


    fiercely.


    Cordy felt her heart waver slightly.She was speechless.


    "Besides, you forced yourself on me!" John said bluntly.


    "Shouldn''t you take responsibility for me?!"


    Cordy was irritated by his words.She seldom got angry, especially when it came to her feelings.She


    always thought she could face them openly, but at this moment, she couldn''t stop herself.


    Feeling like a dam had broken in her, she yelled, "What do you want from me, then? To marry you?! Do


    you have what it takes to marry me? Don''t forget that you have a fiancee, John! What right do you have


    to ask me to take responsibility for you?! As an engaged man, you still couldn''t resist the temptation!


    Forget aboutst time.You were still young and impulsive! Now that you''re older and more mature, you


    should know your limits.Yet, you were still pulled into bed by a woman so easily.Don''t you feel ashamed


    of yourself?!"


    "Did I f*cking touch youst night?! I knew you''d react like this and turn it on me, which was why I didn''t


    touch a single hair on you even though I felt like I was about to explode!" John roared back angrily.


    He had never lost control like this before, and didn''t even hold back from swearing.


    "It wasn''t because of that bullsh*t about me being an engaged man, but because I was afraid you’d


    hate me!"
