Chapter 572 I am Mr. Shawn âI am Mr. Shawn.â
While he gently stroked her fair face with his index finger, the profound affection swirling in his eyes was brighter than the blaring sun.
Ameliaâs stare was locked on the incomparably noble man before her eyes. Even if she had suspected James to be Mr. Shawn, she had yet to believe what she had just heard from Jamesâ¦
After a moment of being stunned, she picked up the golden and copper mask in her hand and put it on for him while standing on tiptoesâ¦
The moment James overlapped with the Mr. Shawn in her memory, Amelia was thrown into a daze.
Her gaze slid down to his lean neck where the green dragon tattoo wasâ¦
âItâs not permanent.â
James seemed to be able to see through her doubts as he explained in a light voice.
Not a permanent tattoo? Was the dressing style, messy hair, hoarse voice, body scent, all a deliberate disguise?
Chapter 572 I am Mr. Shawn Failing to accept the truth, she took a step back. âYou⦠Why would you wanna lie to me and force me into doing what I donât want to?â
Her questioning in her usual soft voice was like a knife stabbing into his heart, adding to his guilt and fear.
For fear that he would lose her, he stepped forward to pull her into his arms, hugging her with all his strength, regardless of what she thought.
Amelia pressed her hands against his firm chest but when she realized that she couldnât move an inch, she stopped struggling and looked up at James.
âDid you think that I was stupid and found it fun back then, so you fooled me on purpose?â
âNo!â
After denying her guess, James wanted to explain when Ameliaâs cold voice interrupted him.
âWhy did you do that then?â
âItâs becauseâ¦â
âItâs because you think Iâm your doormat and that you have all the right to treat me as your plaything!!!â
Amelia shouted.
The anger that erupted from her chest sent Amelia trembling Chapter 572 I am Mr. Shawn with anger. The look in her eyes brimmed with disappointment.
âJames, Iâve been by your side for five years, but you do nothing other than hurt me, force me to do what I hate, and lie to me. Do you take me as a human being?â
Seeing those almond-shaped eyes full of resentment gradually teared, Jamesâ heart trembled. The overwhelming pain was suffocating.
âAmelia, listen to meâ¦â
He took a step forward, but she withdrew the emotions in her eyes to turn around and walk toward the door.
James ripped off the mask on his face to step forward and grab her wrist.
After pulling her into his embrace, he clasped her slim waist with one hand and lowered his head to press his lips against hers.
He eagerly pried her lips open, his tongue familiarly knowing its way of slipping in to conquer hers.
Gently sucking her soft lips, he inclined his face toward her, leaning in for more of her warmth.
The passionate kiss left Amelia gasping, reaching for breath. Her hands struggled to break free and before James knew it, a hard slap landed on his face!
âJames, you do know that weâve broken up, donât you?â
Chapter 572 I am Mr. Shawn James looked to the side. Ignoring the pain on his face, he pushed Amelia against the wall.
âI know, I just wanted to tell youâ¦â
âThe reason why I used Mr. Shawnâs identity back then is that I missed you, to the extent where I was going crazy!â
âI canât control the urge and longing to meet you, to hug you, and to do it with you!â
âItâs no different for now. I have the same thoughts, and Iâve never stopped wanting you!â
When Amelia heard the bold confession, and at the thought of the texts he had sent, she affirmed the fact that he was a lunatic.
Meanwhile, James lifted her chin to look into her resentful eyes, continuing in a hoarse voice.
âAmelia, I couldnât show my love for you as openly as I could back then. Through Mr. Shawn is the only way I was able to express my love for you.â
âFor now, I can do so since no one will ever hurt you again, so Iâll be able to love you without holding myself back.â
âDo you understand?â
