Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 594

It was incredibly fast. In less than ten seconds, two whole heads of garlic were peeled.

Wendy handed the peeled garlic to West.

West opened his palm to take the garlic from her.

The instant their fingers touched, it felt like two freshly peeled garlic cloves brushing against each other—cool and brief.

The touch was as fleeting as an illusion, yet it sent a jolt of heat through West's fingertips, as searing as the burn from the peppers earlier.

His breath hitched, and heat crept up his ears. He didn't dare look up at her.

He wanted to make some casual remark to cover his racing heart, but all that came out was a cough.

His gaze involuntarily flickered to Wendy before he quickly looked away.

West was now very close to Wendy, and his heart was pounding.

He didn't dare glance at her again.

Three meals a day. A good wife and mother. A model husband. A family of four. A loving couple. Happy children. Grandchildren all around…

These phrases flooded his mind. This was what he had once hoped for, but after being hurt by love, he hadn't dared to think about it.

The crazy Marjorie had shattered nearly all his beautiful illusions about love. He didn't dare touch it again in this lifetime.

He was afraid of meeting another terrifying, clingy woman like Marjorie.

Now, his career was slowly taking off. It wasn't spectacular, but he was living a comfortable life. At least he didn't have to worry about money when he wanted or needed something.

He even thought that while God had closed the door to love, He had opened a window for his career. It was a blessing in disguise.

Even if he ended up alone, he wouldn't have any regrets.

His broken heart had healed in a different way, and he was prepared to be single for the rest of his life.

But then he met Wendy, and that dormant hope in his heart began to sprout again. He even started to think about settling down.

His hands didn't stop moving, but his mind was racing.
