Chapter 1022 Yes, I love her!
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Raven looked at Axel and said nothing.
Axel stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Raven with condescending eyes, âI remember you. Many years ago I saw you outside Pauloâs house.â
âAt that time, you were still a teenager. The sun was shining outside, but you were standing alone in a dark corner. At that time, I looked at you one more time and realized that this boy was nothing more than a small creature in this world.â
âNot long after, North and the children in the hospital came home from school. I saw your eyes. fall on North who was sunbathing for a long time. You looked up almost greedily. From then on, I didnât like you.â
âIâve seen people like you living in the dirty swamp of the Dominos family. Youâre so lonely and longing for beauty. You canât help but be attracted to beauty, but the dark blood in your heart urges. you to wreak havoc and destroy. You want to take her beauty with you to hell.â
âNorth is the treasure of the Paulo family. My father also mentioned you when he was alive. My father, like me, is not willing to let you be with North. Itâs not because of your background. People like you wonât be inferior in terms of background. Twenty years later, the children in the hospital will definitely be left behind by you. We just feel that you and North come from two different worlds. North needs a man that is pure and innocent.â
Raven listened quietly. He didnât know that when he raised his head to look at North in front of the Paulo familyâs door, he was also caught by Ezra and Grayson. Of course, he wouldnât be surprised if they didnât like him and thought he couldnât be Northâs lover.
If it werenât for the fall of the Paulo family, if Ezra and his son were still there, Raven wouldnât -have North at all.
He always knew that North was stolen from him.
Grayson walked along this road, seeing many people with very poisonous eyes, his words clearly analyzed Ravenâs humanity.
Raven had no expression, just slightly curled his thin lips, âThen Iâm really sorry to disappoint you. Itâs been so many years that I havenât seen a pure man again. If Iâm here, they wonât be able to get in. Now she is mine and only belongs to me. Whatever you say has no value.â
Hearing this arrogant tone, Axel raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit helpless, âCurrently, North is your Mrs. Dominos. She also has your child in her belly, so of course you have the final decision.â
Raven looked at Axel, âI wonât reveal your identity to anyone, but you must disappear before my eyes.
The further away the better.â
Axel felt that Raven was really a cold-blooded person, âOkay, then I will consider. Finally, I want to ask.
Do you love North?â
Ravenâs attractive eyebrows had no waves at all. He casually moved his thin lips, âI donât know what a pure and innocent guy is. In my opinion, a manâs cleanliness and purity are only because he has not experienced all the things in the world. There will be many changes in the world. If North stays with this kind of young man. One year, two years⦠ten years. She would spend ten years of her youth growing up with a young man. We wouldnât know that she would be seduced at parties and at chaotic intersections. Will that purity still exist? Will North still be pampered like a little princess in the palm of someone elseâs hand? Or have other immature and fragile girls replaced her and become another her?â
Axelâs eyebrows moved slightly, his gaze fell on Ravenâs handsome face.
âFor people like me, you canât say itâs bad, but thereâs nothing wrong with it. Iâve protected her all these years. Iâve taken your place as a father and a brother. I raised her day after day. Over the years, I took care of her. The look in front of me will last for many years and it will always be my only possession.
Maybe I donât want to drag her to hell when Iâm in hell⦠All my remaining good things and tenderness are given to her so that she can still live pure under the sun. Sheâs been my only salvation for so many years, and Iâve gotten used to respecting her.â
âIf you ask me if I love her, how can I not love her? Besides her, in my eyes and in my heart there has never been anyone.â
He loves her.
Years ago, Raven never thought he would love someone like this. The Dominos family had a gene for infatuation, his grandpa and his father had lovers everywhere, but when it came to him, it was as if the gene had mutated.
From a businessmanâs perspective, perhaps he invested too much in North. In ten years, he grew from a boy to a man, to a husband and father to his child. He is always by her side in every stage of life that people have to go through. This was a terrible habit that was deeply ingrained in his bones and growing madly in his blood like vines.
Sometimes he feels that North is his love.
Axel had nothing more to say. His eyes slowly moved from Ravenâs handsome face to Northâs sleeping face. If his father was still here, he would be very happy and relieved to have a man who could hold North in his hands and stay by her side for the rest of his life.
Axel reached out to pull the blanket up for North, then stretched his long legs and left. When he walked up to Raven, he whispered: âBe nice to North. She still has a family.â
Axelâs figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Raven walked up and sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to caress Northâs face.
In her sleep, North seemed to feel his presence. She moved, rubbing her face against his fingers like a little kitten being pampered.
Ravenâs heart finally relaxed and he slowly opened his already sweaty palms.
Just now he was still worried.
He, who was always calm and collected, was so nervous that his palms were sweating when facing her brother.
He was still afraid.
He was afraid that he wouldnât be able to pass her brotherâs test.
He was afraid her brother would take her away.
He was afraid that he wouldnât be able to fight her brother without using his sword.
Ravenâs thin lips stopped on Northâs forehead. He kissed again and again, gently sighing. âNorth, everything is so beautiful now, but it makes me⦠timid. At first, I couldnât accept the change. I started to dislike the chaos and I felt like I wasnât myself anymore.â
North was sleeping soundly, so she definitely couldnât give him any response.
At this time, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the maidâs voice came from outside the door:
âSir, there are guests.â
It was so late but someone came after Axel.
Raven raised his head, his cold black eyes looking over: âWho?â
Brooks is here!
Axel left the villa, quickly got into a black car, and the luxury car drove away.
At this time, on the side of the road, there was a person in a wheelchair⦠Zhuri!
