Chapter 833


    Jewel was too shocked for words. The truth was beyond her wildest imagination.


    Of course, she sensed that he was taking one step after another to get closer to her. She would be


    lying to say that she felt nothing for him, but her rational mind held her back, keeping her from having


    high hopes. She knew her ce as a person without identification; an assassin targeted by others and


    courting death in each second. She was a mute who could not even take good care of herself.


    Indeed, she was unqualified to associate with him in any way.


    Still, it was impossible to control one''s budding feelings. The moment he shielded her fearlessly, she


    had subconsciously given him the green light to approach and protect her. She even enjoyed his gentle


    care. But Alex''s mom was right. I am not a good match for him.


    Reminded by this fact, she snapped back into reality and instantly shoved him away. Since her sore


    throat was killing her, shemunicated with signnguage again. Why do you still want to be with


    me? Do you want a repeat of the same tragedy?


    He went forward in an attempt to hug her, but she responded by taking a step backward and ring at


    him warily.


    He let out a helpless sigh. "There won''t be a repeat. I promise you that I will protect you to the best of


    my ability. You won''t be subjected to humiliation again. Yesterday, I talked with my mom and made it


    clear that I only have feelings for you. If she creates trouble for you again, I will have no choice but to


    cut ties with her."


    She shook her head and took another step backward. Do you think we can shoulder the heavy burden


    of this rtionship?


    He closed in. "I am merely expressing my stance to her. My mom loves me a lot, so she will eventually


    ept our rtionship. It''s a matter of time before she discovers your good qualities. Jewel, I beg of


    you. Don''t turn me down again. I know you''re slowly epting me. It took me so long to have you


    back…"


    She replied, Even I do not think that I am good enough for you. Understandably, she does not approve


    of me. You are only putting her in a difficult position if you force her to agree with you.


    He argued, "Does it matter? I''ll be spending my life with you, not her. To be honest, in the eight years


    you were gone, my mom forced me to attend a lot of blind dates, but I never allowed any of them to


    bear fruit. Every time she made the arrangements, I immediately schemed to foil her ns. I want no


    one else except for you. When I was dating around, I was getting my revenge against you and my


    mom."


    At this point, he took a deep breath and continued in a miserable tone, "Jean, if I had known that you


    woulde back to me, I wouldn''t have fooled around and embarrassed myself. I''m sorry for not being


    a man good enough for you, but trust me, when I met you again, I cut contact with all the women from


    before. W-Would you still think poorly of me?"


    Looking helpless, he stole a careful nce at her.


    She pursed her lips hesitantly. Truth be told, she was not touched by everything that he had told her


    just now. After all, she had no recollection of those events from the past, which sounded more like


    made-up stories to her.

    Rather, the Alex Road that she knew was a yboy who rotated partners frequently. In her eyes, he


    would sometimes make weird statements in a moment of madness or sweet-talked her in a way that


    made her doubt his sincerity.


    However, he stood before her openly today while professing his feelings, misery, and regrets. He had


    shown her a level of sincerity that she had not seen before.


    Without a word, she gently took a step toward him.


    He suddenly broke into a smile and hugged her, too excited for words. Only the tension in his arms


    betrayed the nervousness, exhration, and great relief.
