Chapter 64 Chapter 65 74% “My son is very good at almost everything. He is every woman’s dream The dinner turned out horrible for Summer and she regretted attending “Hunter has been a good son to me. I’m glad he didn’t get a woman pregnant and left her to become a single Mom” A drop of tears slid down Summer’s cheek as she stared into space. Everywhere in the house felt stuffed and suffocating for her, so she had to go to the garden to get fresh air after she put her kids to sleep. “This is crazy.” She scoffed and bit her lip as she walked over to the bench and sat on it, but just then, she heard thick footsteps behind her, and since she already recognised the cologne, she didn’t bother to look back to check whoever it was. “You should take this,” She looked up at him and found him holding out a glass of chilled milk to her. “I heard it’s good for refreshment,” “Thank you,” She muttered as she took the milk from him and dropped it beside her on the bench. “Can I sit with you?” “Will you leave if I say no!” She gazed into space. “Not really.” He sat on the little space left on the bench, and exhaled deeply. “is your Mom and sister always that rude or is it because they don’t like me?” That question was a bit rude and she of all people knew that, but she could only care less. “I’m sorry about what happened earlier. I’m really sorry about that,” She rolled her eyes and looked away as she already expected to hear that from him. “Why don’t you just end things now? There’s no need to proceed with the engagement, don’t you think? Your family does not like me. Don’t you think it’s going to be complicated?” She looked at him briefly and turned her face away afterward. “What they think about you doesn’t matter… I love you, and that’s all that “I don’t love you, Hunter. You and I know that I don’t want this, so why don’t you give up now? WhyContent © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
are you making me uncomfortable? Just a ‘no’ from you can change this whole thing, so why are you not doing it?” Just as she had always been straightforward with him, she stated clearly yet again. Yes, the truth was going to hurt him, but f c k that! It was better to hurt him now than for him to spend the rest of his life in misery, right? “Summer—” “Are you thinking maybe I’ll eventually love you after we get married?” She turned to him with her eyebrows raised.. “What makes you think that? I told you that I don’t have feelings for you. I’ve never had a tinge of feelings for you, and I never will. I don’t know about my next life, but definitely not in this, so why are you forcing things?”. “I won’t give up, Summer… I won’t ever give up on us,” He held her hand and slowly shook his head. “Us?” She scoffed and retracted her hand from his. “There is no ‘us, Hunter. There has been nous, and there will never be an ‘us’. Why don’t you stop now, please?” Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked him in the eyes with pure anger, “Why are you doing this to me? There are tons of women out there dying to have you, why me?” It felt like her heart was being stomped on as she found it difficult to breathe. Even if she was in love with him, she would never make the same mistake of marrying into a family who doesn’t like her. 1/3 11:26 Wed, 12 Jun F Chapter 64 “But my heart chose you… My heart will always choose you, and I won’t ever give up because I really want you,” He insisted, and she sighed frustratingly “I’m sorry I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable, but can you please think from my own point of view? Can you please reason with me for once?” His voice came out in a whisper with pain resounding in it as he tried to touch her, but she rose to her feet. “If you are sorry and you don’t mean to make me uncomfortable, then do the needful,” And with that, she walked out of the garden without sparing him
another glance. A drop of tears slid down Hunter’s cheeks as he stared into space. It has been years still he could not win his heart. Why does it always have to be Xander? What did he do to her? Why was it still him even after all these years? He was the one who has been there for her, why did she never look at him the same way he always looked at her? Hunter’s heart broke into a million shreds as he buried his face between his palms with his fingers sank into the front of his hai, ‘Am I not good enough? Why can’t she love me? Why can’t she give me a chance? I’ve been trying my best.. I’ve been doing everything I can to prove my love for her, why is she treating me this way? Those were the only questions he could ask himself as he cried his eyes out. It hurt to love someone with everything in you and not get the same energy in return. It really hurt. “Why don’t you just give up at this point, Hunter? You can’t force love, you know? His subconscious mind told him, but he dismissed the thought immediately. That was the last thing he’d ever do. He had loved her for years to give up at this point. He unlocked his phone and clicked on Instagram” icon. He knew messaging Xander was crazy, but sadly, he could not think straight. He didn’t care if this w a ss ne or not, he was just going to act according to his instinct, and that’s it “Why don’t you disappear forever? Why did you come back to her life? Sending that ridiculous message to a man who had the heart of the woman he loved was crazy, but does he care? No, he doesn’t “Who is this?” Xander’s reply popped in minutes later, and he scoffed unbelievably. Was he pretending not to know him or was he really serious about that? “Quit with the pretense, man. You know who I am. We need to talk. Let’s moet “What do you want, Hunter? I don’t have time to spare to see someone like you. If you have nothing to say, why don’t you leave me to do better things with my time?” The reply from Xander was more engaging than the rage he was already feeling “Now, listen good. I’m going to have Summer, and that’s it, so you should stay away from her. Don’t
think of playing games, man, Summer’s Dad already knew about what you did in the past. Do you think he would still allow her to be with you after everything? I’m going to get married to her soon, so why don’t you give up and disappear from her life forever? I hate you so much!’ After he sent the message, he stood up from the bench and walked out of the garden A few minutes later, Hunter stood in front of a room and placed a knock on it. “Who is there?” Came the familiar voice of his Mam “It’s me, Mom. Can I come in?” The door opened, revealing his Mom who had a deep frown on her face “What are you doing “We need to talk, Mom,” He walked inside and found Hazel already asleep on the bed. He turned back and found his Mom leaning against the closed door with her hands crossed on her chest. I was about to sleep when you came to interrupt me. What do you want to talk about? Can’t it wait till tomorrow?” She rolled her eyes and walked over to sit on the bed. “Don’t tell me you are here because of that lady?” She scoffed and rolled her eyes again 11:26 Wed, 12 Jun / Chapter 64 “Mom “I don’t like her. She’s not good for you,” She cut him off, and he huffed. “And you think your opinion matters when it comes to who I want to spend the rest of my life with?” He scoffed unbelievably. 73% “She is a single Mom, Hunter! And aside from that, she’s not Mr. Miller’s biological daughter. She’s just an adopted child, and you know about that. Are you still going to get married to her regardless?” “This is my business, Mom. Why don’t you stay out of it? This is what I want… My decision. This is my life and I won’t have you make decisions for me- am your mother!” She reminded him. “That doesn’t give you the right to want to choose a life partner for me, Mom, You are my Mom, you can make decisions for me in some aspects of my life, but not when it comes to my life partner. I’m
a grown man now, and I know what I want. There is nothing wrong in being a single Mom,” He stated clearly, and she scoffed disappointedly. “You are talking back at your mother because of a woman- “She is not just a woman, but the woman I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. Stay out of this!” And with that, he dashed out of the room and slammed the door behind him. He paused along the walkway when his phone beeped. “Why don’t you try your luck instead? The winner will walk her down the aisle later. Good luck’ He fumed after he read the sarcastic reply from Xander. “That b a t r d! What’s so good about him?”
