The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 196

If it were solely due to work, Tamara wouldn't have said anything. But just now, the moment she mentioned Leilani, Milford reacted like that. Anyone could see what was going on.

Tamara feigned immense grievance, looking at Milford with disappointment. Her eyes reddened slightly, her voice choked with emotion.

"Milford, tell me the truth... Are you... still unable to let go of Leilani?"

Milford's breath hitched, and he instinctively denied it. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he stunned himself. Was he unable to let go of Leilani?

No, he was just...

Just what? He couldn't explain it himself.

Tamara's tears fell like broken beads, landing one by one on the back of Milford's hand. She looked up slightly, teardrops still clinging to her eyelashes, her voice trembling.

"Milford, if you really aren't willing... it's not too late. I can step aside."

Milford started, instinctively gripping her shoulders. "Stop talking nonsense. Is it because I've been too busy with work lately and ignored you, making your imagination run wild?"

"I'm not imagining things." Tamara lowered her head, frustrated and dejected. "I can see it. Ever since our wedding was set, you haven't asked much about the details. But before Leilani got out, you excitedly planned our future wedding with me. Yet after Leilani came back, you forgot all of that. First, you broke off the engagement, and now..."

"Milford, be honest with me. Is it that ever since Leilani returned, you never actually wanted to marry me?"
