Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 376

Ethan started the engine of the car without asking for Tiffany’s workplace address. It was obvious he knew everything about her. “I was forced to break up with you at that time. I know it sounds rather ridiculous but it’s true. I was worried as well when I saw your family in trouble because I couldn’t provide you with the kind of life you’re used to. I decided to use all my money to invest in a project with my friends. You were unaware of it, but I even mortgaged the car you gave me for a bank loan.” He continued to say, “I didn’t want to burden you in case my investment fails. That’s why I broke up with you. There was no other woman. Who knew I’d succeed? I intend to expand my business after this. We can go back to living the life we had before. Tiffie, you were good to me in the past. It’s my turn to treat you well. It wasn’t my intention to hurt you. Can we start all over again?”

During their time together, Ethan had never been a passionate man who would say such words. For him to speak these words to her now, she would be lying if she said she was not moved. She could clearly see the deep love he had for her in his eyes. There was no doubt about it. They had dated for three years. Even during those years, she had never experienced these feelings before. She felt adrenaline surging in her body, and her heart was thumping wildly. A blush could be clearly seen on her face.

Tiffany was so nervous that she stammered when she spoke, “I...How do I know if you’re telling the truth? You truly looked down on me, I’m not such a vain or materialistic person. When we were together, you didn’t have much money, but it didn’t matter to me. I have never cared about money so how can you use that as an excuse to break up with me? Although you think you were doing it for my sake, I’ve never wanted that. Now that you’re saying these things to me, I’m honestly confused.”

Ethan did not press on. “It’s fine. I’m willing to wait until you forgive me. Let me take care of you from now on, okay? I’ll compensate you and give you a grand wedding whenever you’re ready.”

Tiffany nodded slightly. “I’ll think about it.”

Although Tiffany did not agree nor disagree, Ethan acted as though she had agreed to be his girlfriend. He rubbed her head affectionately and asked, “Have you had breakfast? Take a look at the back seat. See what’s there.”

Tiffany instinctively turned to the back to have a look. There was a plastic bag in the back seat. She saw a part of the Chinese-style omelet wraps. It was from the shop she liked the most. Surprisingly, he went and lined up for her breakfast early in the morning. She would be lying to herself if she said she was not moved. In the past, she had treated him like her everything, but he had never cared about her. He had always been aloof to her. However, it seemed like he had changed and was working hard to treat her well. Indeed. This was the feeling when one was deeply loved. Previously, when they were still dating, it felt like a one-sided relationship. She was the only one who sacrificed everything for their relationship. Although she was moved, she felt slightly sad as well. After all, she felt so inferior during their relationship in the past. She was truly pitiful.

She did not take the Chinese-style omelet wraps. She tilted her head to look at him and asked, “Ethan, I want to know whether you’re telling the truth. I always thought that you never loved me. You’ve always been aloof with me. Previously, I thought that’s how you are and maybe you just didn’t know how to show affection. That’s why I took the initiative and gave all my affection to you. It did not matter even if others thought I was pitiful. However, based on what I can see now, it seems like you know how to love. Since you say you love me, why didn’t you treat me like this in the past?”

Ethan fell silent for a moment before he said, “I finally realized how to love someone after I broke up with you. You were so good to me in the past. I only knew how to enjoy your love and care but didn’t think to reciprocate it. I was wrong. I’m sorry.”

At this moment, Tiffany grabbed the Chinese-style omelet wraps and ate it. However, she could not properly savor it. She could only taste the bitterness of the past three years.
