Chapter 548

Why did he not tell her he loved her later on?

“I lived abroad later on and rarely came back. What’s more, Jessica was always around me. I couldn’t tell my feelings for a period of time.’

“So, were you moved by Jessica?’ When he brought Jessica up, her heart inevitably skipped a beat.

She hated Jessica vehemently.

“No. When I returned from abroad and met you again at the bar when I was twenty, I knew that my feelings for you and Jessica were vastly different. She was just a person who shared my social status.

The education I received since childhood influenced me secretly, so I forced myself to accept her.

However, everything was ruined the moment I met you. My feelings for you are vastly different from my feelings toward her. I can’t control them at all.”

Cordy bit her lips gently.

She did not imagine that John liked her for such a long time. He secretly liked her for so many years.

He had always been in love with her.

She did not even know of him before she met him.

He was just a legend, and a person whom she would never have anything to do with.

“I’m sorry.’ Cordy suddenly apologized to him.

“Hmm?”

“I misunderstood so many things about you.”

“It’s fine.” John pulled her into his arms. “I’m very satisfied. After you started dating Kyle, I thought we had missed each other. I feel that my life is complete now since I have the chance to be with you and confess my love for you. I can even let you feel my heart… Hmm!”

Cordy used her hands to stop him from speaking.

She did not want to listen to that anymore.

It sounded like his last words, so she did not want to hear them.

She thought that he just wanted to divert her attention now since he said so much to her about his feelings toward her. But now, she seemed to feel that he was afraid he would lose the chance to confess how many years he had loved her.

And now he would be left with no regrets to have his love reciprocated by her.

She did not want to see him save Richard with the idea that he would be killed even though she did not know what the result would be…

John gently pulled her hands away and said, “Cordy, we know very well what we’ll face later. The only thing we can do now is to try our best not to leave too many regrets for each other.”

Cordy shook her head.

It would be a regret no matter what they did or said.

The people who were left behind would be filled with more regrets.

“Jessica won’t let Dicky off easily. I can’t guarantee that I have such great power to retreat safe and sound after saving Dicky. The only thing that I can guarantee is that Dicky will be alive if I am. If I die…”

John paused.

Lying in his arms, Cordy’s body trembled slightly.

Sobbing, she could not control her body’s instinctive reactions.

“If I die and Dicky is still lucky to be alive, live well with him.’

Cordy shook her head vigorously, not wanting to accept that kind of result.

She wanted their family of three to be safe and sound without leaving anyone out.

“You can marry someone else.” John seemed to have chuckled. “Just don’t bring him to my tomb to annoy me.”

Cordy tried her best to hold back her tears, but she lost control now when she heard his words at that moment.

“Okay.”

At last, she agreed to it.

If…

If only either Richard or John could survive…

She chose Richard.
