Chapter 777 That Woman Stole My Heart


    Chapter 777 That Woman Stole My Heart


    Lilian gazed at Jack''s dejected face. She had never thought that a person as cruel, heartless, and


    crafty as him could actually love a woman so dearly.


    It was just like how she had loved and trusted him without any hesitation.


    His honesty appeased her resentment. Her heart would still skip a beat for him, just like how it used to


    be when she first saw him. However, she also felt bad for what he had to go through.


    She put the agreement on the table and said softly, “Come back to Dartan with me. Helt Corporation

    needs you.”


    Jack smiled and shook his head.


    “What if...” Lilian pressed her lips and looked straight into his eyes. “What if I said I needed you? Would


    youe with me?”


    He saw a sincere deration of love through her eyes and was stunned for a moment.


    Then, he covered his face with both of his palms, chuckling and sighing at the same time. He felt that


    Lilian was just as pathetic as him; they were both fools for love.


    Jack rose to his feet and bent down before her. Cupping her face, he kissed her on the lips.


    The coldness of his lips startled her, and she shuddered.


    Right when Lilian was about to hug him, he moved backward and gently brushed her lips with his


    finger. “You see, there''s no temperature on my lips. I''ll never be able to fall for any other woman


    because she stole my heart a long time ago,” he said in a low voice.


    “Don''t be silly. You''re yearning for someone you shouldn''t even think about. You should go back now.”


    After leaving her with that, Jack grabbed his jacket and left the restaurant without giving her another


    nce.


    Lilian watched him disappear from her sight.


    As she touched her face and felt none of the warmth that he left behind, she teared up unwittingly.


    A few dayster, the news about Bruce''s sudden death at the hospital went viral.


    It was only then that everybody began to realize Bruce had been suffering fromte-stage cancer for a


    long time with no hope of recovering. Apart from his rtionship issues with Coco, the fact that he was


    cklisted by the entertainmentpany also contributed to his severe depression.


    In the past few months, Bruce had pulled himself together and focused on filming movies just so he


    would not disappoint his fans.


    When his fans heard the bad news, they all cried. Some of them even initiated a witch-hunt against


    Coco and organized trips to her house to bash her up in order to avenge Bruce.


    That was how Coco learned that Bruce was dead.


    She recalled her past memories with Bruce. Regardless of what she did, he would spoil her most of the


    time. Back then, he agreed not to reveal their rtionship to the public because she had not risen to


    stardom. He even exhausted his contacts to get the best resources to support her career. However, the


    ungrateful Coco framed him for domestic violence, resulting in him losing the court case. Yet, he did not


    utter a single bad thing about Coco even after being released from prison.


    Coco went back to her house looking like aplete disaster. She scrolled through her old phone and


    saw their vacation vlogs, couple photos, and the video of his surprise proposal.


    “Marry me, Coco. I''ll be a good husband to you and a good father to our future children.”


    At that time, she came up with all sorts of excuses to reject him. “You''ve just been awarded the best


    actor award. Your fans will be disappointed if they know that we''re getting hitched.”


    Bruce rebutted, “I''m an actor, not a celebrity. Why should I cover up my love life? Acting has always


    been my passion, but you''ve been my dream ever since the day I met you.”


    There was a sparkle in his eyes when he talked about the future. “Babe, I want to marry you and be


    with you forever.”


    “Let''s dy it a little while more. I''m not ready.”


    From the video, Coco noticed how heartbroken Bruce was when he heard her reply. Yet, he stered a


    smile almost immediately and said, “It''s okay. I''ll give you more time to prepare yourself.”


    He treasured her like a rare gem and doted on her lovingly. In an earnest tone, he professed his love


    for her, “Coco, I love you.”
