Chapter 2047


    Estelle shook her head decisively. "| can''t."


    Lambert was urgent, his voice edged with desperation. "I blurted out my feelings that day; it was hasty and insincere. Please, let


    me Say it again properly. | care about you, Estelle, from Ste to Estelle, it''s always been you. I''ll talk to my father and call off the


    arranged marriage. | only want you as my wife!"


    He pledged fervently, "I''ve lived recklessly in the past, and unfortunately, you''ve seen that side of me. I''m sorry and filled with


    regret, but | promise, it won''t happen again. I''ll be loyal to you, and I''ll give you everything | have. | hope you''ll stay and spend


    your life with me."


    Estelle frowned. "I''m in love with someone else, Lambert. | thought | made that clear!"


    "Is it Alvis?"


    "Yes, it is!"


    If it had been anyone else, Lambert might have tried to win her over, but with Alvis, he felt a sense of defeat. "Have you known


    him for a long time?"


    Estelle smiled. "For quite a while, yes. Andter, | married him!"


    Lambert stared at her in shock. "You''re already married?"


    "Yes," Estelle confirmed. "So, you can let go of your obsession now."


    Lambert frowned deeply, his gaze clinging to Estelle, eyes filled with sorrow. "Life''s so unfair to me!"


    Since that peacekeeping mission, he''d put her on a pedestal, always following her shadow.


    When he thought she''d "died," his grief and despair sank him into a deep depression.


    It wasn''t until he''d built a memorial chapel and enshrined her name there, visiting daily to talk to her, that he began to recover


    from his pain.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Now, learning she was alive and thinking there was hope again, he found out she had someone else, and they were already


    married.


    And that man, so strong, so in love with her, didn''t even leave Lambert with a chance topete.


    It felt like he was a joke!


    "Born into the Brennan family, an heir and the future head of the family, and you''re stillining about life being unfair?


    Ridiculous" Estelle joked lightly. "Your knowledge of me is limited to our time in that peacekeeping effort. It was your first time in


    such a conflict, and your feelings towards me were more like a rookie''s admiration, not necessarily romantic."


    Lambert gave a self-deprecating smile. "So what about now? Why do | find myself drawn to you again?"


    Estelle teased, "Clearly, your affections aren''t very singr!"


    Lambert couldn''t help butugh. "Not at all, I''ve fallen twice, both times for you."


    Estelle was at a loss for words.


    His eyes filled with earnest affection,


    Lambert continued, "I k ow | haye no

    Lambert shrugged, about to say something more when his phone rang.


    He picked it up. "What''s up?"
