“When are you going to divorce me?” Mireya interrupted him.
Rodney froze and said after a moment, “I won’t divorce you. You saw how Dani was last night.
Whether she leaves you or me, she won’t be able to sleep through the night. She’ll cry easily too.
Although she slept with me last night, she still got up and cried twice.”
Mireya sneered. “She only cried because she wanted my milk.”
Rodney frowned. “Mireya, why do we have to drag Dani into our quarrels? She’s just a child who doesn’t know anything.”
Mireya felt like she was stabbed in the heart. “Do you think I want to do this? I hate seeing myself like this, but you forced my hand. Rodney Snow, did you forget how you apologized and admitted your mistakes the day I gave birth to Dani? Yet, what did you do yesterday? I can’t trust your words at all.”
It was true. Yesterday at noon, Rodney helped her teach those young ladies a lesson.
She really wanted to get along with him at first, but then he said those words in the afternoon. Was he still a man?
“I… I was stupid.”
Rodney blushed and said those shocking words. As matters stood, he could only steel himself and say, ” I… I didn’t realize that what I said when you were playing yesterday embarrassed you. When I saw you storm out, I thought you were unhappy because you lost. Then, you said that I was annoying, and those words hurt me too…”
Mireya did not know what to say. She was speechless.
He actually realized that he was stupid. “That’s because— “
“Hear me out.”
Rodney suddenly interrupted her. A dim light flashed in his eyes. “Yes, I know I am very annoying. When Sarah broke up with me and wanted to get rid of me, she also said I was annoying. I can’t compare to Shaun and Chester.
If it weren’t for the fact that Chester didn’t like her, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to be her fallback guy. I also know that my EQ isn’t as high as Shaun’s or Chester’s, and I’m not as romantic as them. As someone’s fallback guy for more than ten years, I can’t take it when people say I’m annoying. It’s because… those words of yours dug up the most embarrassing part of me.
” I couldn’t control myself and said a lot of harsh words. I’m really sorry.”
His beautiful eyes revealed how vexed and regretful he was. “You don’t have to take those words seriously. You’re actually… really beautiful. If you weren’t pregnant with my child, I think many men would pursue you for your looks and skills. On the contrary, I may be noble in status, but my business skills aren’t as good as Shaun’s, my EQ isn’t as good as Chester’s, and my political skills aren’t as good as Ryan’s. My mom also said that with my personality, I wouldn’t have been able to find a wife in my life if you didn’t marry me.
“In fact, I already knew since a long time ago that deep down, you look down on me. I was stupid enough to be the fallback guy of a woman like Sarah and stupid enough for her to play me like a fiddle. You must be very unwilling to be with me because I’m a man who even Sarah looked down upon, and Sarah is the person you hate the most. Maybe you wonder why you should accept a man who Sarah looked down on. After all, you are much better than Sarah in every way…”
Rodney eventually fell silent at the end of his sentence.
He was embarrassed.
There was even a hint of self-deprecation hung at the corners of his mouth.
For a moment, Mireya forgot that she was angry. Instead, she was shocked, and her face grew a little hot at the second half of his speech.
She did not expect Rodney to know what she was thinking.
Yes, the most she used to complain to Cate about was why she had to pick up trash that Sarah did not want.
However, it was quite rude to have such thoughts.
Sarah’s personality was problematic, so how could they be sure that what she did not want was automatically trash?
Besides, what right did she have to laugh at Rodney? She was also abandoned by Patrick.
Rodney was just like her. They fell in love with the wrong person in their youth and thought their unconditional love would bear fruit.
Rodney’s beautiful face in front of her suddenly sank in sadness.
Mireya’s heart softened at such a good-looking face. She could not bear to see him like this.
“Actually, you aren’t that bad. You just fell in love with a love rat when you were young. Wasn’t I the same? Besides, the one who was hurt the most wasn’t you but Shaun. He got divorced and almost lost his money, as well as any chance of a future with Cate and his children. Sarah spent his money for more than ten years. To be honest, if Cate didn’t save him, he would probably still be cheated by Sarah now.”
Rodney froze.
What she said seemed true.
When it came to being cheated by Sarah, did he have it as bad as Shaun?
He suddenly felt like praising Shaun. That man was also an idiot.
Mireya continued, “Besides, don’t think Chester has high EQ either. Hah. Wasn’t he deceived by Sarah too? Back then, when the three of you targeted Cate, he was also on your side. In the end, Sarah’s schemes were just too good.”
Rodney looked at the woman in front of him complicatedly. “Mireya, are you comforting me?”
Freye’s face began to hurt.
No, she was supposed to be fighting with him. Why was she comforting him instead?
“You think too much.” She became annoyed.
However, Rodney grinned with his eyes. “My mom was right. You’re really a nice girl. I was blind in the past and couldn’t tell how good you were.”
“You really are blind. No, you also have low EQ. And you’re stupid.” Mireya snorted.
“Yes, I’m the stupidest person alive.” Rodney looked at her intently and said in a low tone, ” You’re so good, yet I didn’t know how to cherish you.”
Mireya was speechless.
Why did she feel like something was off with Rodney?
Did he wake up from the wrong side of the bed? His gaze was also strange.
His already beautiful eyes now seemed like there were sparks in them.
It made her feel very uncomfortable.
“Mireya, let’s live a good life together, okay?”
Rodney suddenly grabbed her hand and took a deep breath. His ears heated up as he said a little shyly, ” I actually… have some feelings for you…”
“Clatter.”
The spoon in Mireya’s hand fell into the bowl. She felt like lightning had struck her brain.
What did he say?
What did Rodney say? He must have gone mad.
Mireya stood up in a panic. However, she did not notice that her feet were hooked to the stool, so she fell backward onto the ground with the chair.
Pain shot up her body. She wanted to cry.
Sure enough, Rodney and she were not compatible at all.
“Are you okay? Get up.” Rodney quickly reached out to pick her and the chair up. “Did you hurt yourself?”
He reached out to touch the back of her head and even rubbed it gently.
Mireya avoided him in fright. “Rodney Snow, are you possessed?”
Rodney’s handsome face darkened. It was not easy for him to muster the courage to reveal his feelings, but he did not expect Mireya to think of him like this.
“I’m very clear-headed now.”
He gritted his teeth and said stiffly, “Is it so strange that I like you?”
“Of course it is. The two of us have done nothing but fight and quarrel ever since we met.” Mireya pursed her lips with mixed feelings. “And you’ve done so many things to hurt me…”
“That was in the past,” Rodney said in chagrin. ” I was blind before. If I could go back, I would never do those things to you. Mireya, we’re married and have a child together now. I really do like you and want to live a happy life with you. I won’t repeat what I did yesterday ever again. If I do anything that makes you unhappy, you can just tell me. I’ll change.”
“Enough. Stop talking.”
