Chapter 787


    Olivia stood nkly, staring at him. The look in her eyes moved from shock to guilt and then nk.


    In retrospect, Zac had been gentle, caring, and generous to her ever since they met. He had been


    supportive and tolerant of everything she did and never said no to her.


    It seemed she took him for granted because of this.


    She had even... forgotten that he was human too. He had emotions.She opened her mouth to say


    something, but she swallowed what she wanted to say.


    Zac saw her hesitation and smiled. "I should thank you. I might not be so ''humane'' if it weren''t for you.


    "when I was little, my mom always asked me to be good and patient, so I never lost my temper even if I


    was bullied.


    "After I grew up, I kept all my emotions to myself and rarely lost my temper or spoke angrily."


    Then he paused and looked up at her. "It''s why I didn''t confess to you four years ago. Because I


    thought protecting you was enough, and I shouldn''t ask for more.


    "I always thought I had no desire until... I was locked in the basement by my dad, and you agreed to


    marry me to save me.


    "It dawned on me then that I had desires. I had them all along. I just kept it in my heart.


    "Then I had a car ident. I lost both my legs and hearing. And


    Xavier and John stopped you from marrying me.


    "All my suppressed emotions burst. I hated myself for being so ipetent and suppressed."


    Zac tugged open his cor, opened his mouth to take a big breath, and continued saying, ''That was the


    first time I let out my anger, and I thought it would be alrightter.


    "The funny thing is the universe seems to want to fool me. I even have a half-brother from a different


    mother. Everything is triggering me, and sometimes it feels like I can''t hold down my emotions


    anymore...


    "But anyway, I''m sorry I yelled at you, Liv..."


    "Zac." Olivia snuffled, bit her lip, and looked at him. "Speaking of which, it''s my fault."


    She patted Zac on the shoulder. "I''m used to your gentleness and pampering. I seem to take everything


    for granted and never consider your feelings. It''s also my fault..."


    There was a lot she wanted to say, but she hesitated and did not know what to say.


    "Liv..." Zac smiled sardonically. "I suddenly know why you like John and not me."


    Olivia looked at him in confusion.


    "John was cold and cruel before he met you. Few people in Ocean


    City saw him smile, but he changed after meeting you."


    Zac looked into the distance as if he recalled a distant memory. "


    When he mentioned you, his eyes were full of joy, and he was more casual.


    "But I''m unlike him. He closed himself off, so he armored himself with indifference. I close myself off by


    armoring myself with calmness.


    "we both opened Pandora''s box after meeting you. But he learned to be gentle, and I learned to be


    furious."


    Finally, he nced intently at Olivia. "That''s all I have to say. Get some rest. Let me know if you want to


    move out."

    Olivia looked at his back as she felt a pang in her heart. She had indescribable mixed feelings.
