Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026 Efren’s Worry Efren didn’t give a direct answer, but in those deep eyes that only reflected Georgia’s figure, there was a hint of a shallow smile.

In that instant, Georgia finally understood completely. It turned out that she was a fool!

Efren was just pretending to be drowning in front of her.

If she wasn’t there, Efren might swim back to the shore on his own.

Georgia was so angry that her tears started flowing uncontrollably.

“Efren, you bastard. How could you joke about something like that?”

Seeing Georgia crying, Efren realized the severity of the situation.

“Why are you crying? I shouldn’t have told you in the first place.”

Efren took tissues to wipe away tears for Georgia.

Chapter 1026 Efren’s Worry However, it seemed like her tears couldn’t be stopped.

“That was my most beautiful and proudest memory! But it turned out that you were pretending. How could I not cry?”

Georgia had always cherished those memories. When she believed that Efren had no interest in her and felt as lifeless as a walking corpse, she consoled herself in her heart, reminding herself that she had saved Efren’s life. And without her, Efren would be long gone in this world.

Even after they married and the servants gossiped behind her, saying she wasn’t worthy of Efren, Georgia relied on this memory.

She was Efren’s savior, and he had chosen her to repay.

But now, all the memories that built her confidence turned out to be false.

How could Georgia not feel distressed?

“You liar. Why did you have to deceive me?”

Seeing Georgia losing control of her emotions, Efren quickly embraced her tightly.

“I’m so sorry! But Georgia, I liked you back then. Teasing the girl a boy liked was just something all guys did at that age.”

Chapter 1026 Efren’s Worry He coaxed Georgia in a low voice, displaying more patience than he did with their child.

“I could have gone swimming with Byron and others in the deep sea that day, but you were alone on the beach building sandcastles. I just wanted to be with you and play with you.

“I didn’t like the sand, the sandcastles, or sitting under the sun like a fool. But because of you, everything there became extraordinarily beautiful.”

As Efren confessed, Georgia’s struggle began to diminish.

He gently held her close and whispered, “Teasing you that day was just a spontaneous idea, and I didn’t anticipate you’d be so scared. But when you forcefully took my first kiss, it strengthened my determination to be with you.”

After hearing him out, Georgia finally felt her emotional knot untie.

However, her voice still sounded somewhat muffled. “If you liked me so much, why didn’t you confess to me when I actively sought you out during our university days?”

She also liked Efren at that time. They wouldn’t have wasted so much time if Efren admitted that he liked her.

Chapter 1026 Efren’s Worry Efren held her waist and explained, “You were still young at that time, and I was worried that you would just toy with my feelings...”

“Aren’t you afraid I might toy with your feelings now?” Georgia asked.

Efren leaned in and kissed Georgia. After a long moment, he softly said, “I am afraid. So please don’t scare me.”

He knew that showing some vulnerability could make Georgia cherish him more and strengthen their bond as a couple.

As if to prove his point, Georgia initiated a warm hug and gently patted his back.
