Chapter 278 Returning Everything You Gave Me

Dominic rose and walled step by step toward Bella until they were so close that there was no space between them.

He abruptly grabbed her arm, and his grasp was so tight it felt as if he wanted to crush her. "Bella, do you have no heart?"

She let out a cold chuckle as the alcohol boosted her confidence. "Who's the one without a heart here? I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't play along if this were a game for you! Does the fact that I love you make me deserve to be treated this way? Is it because I owe you, so I deserve to be stomped on?"

Her outburst stunned Dominic. He hadn't expected such tremendous energy from her small frame. Even though she wasn't screaming, every phrase struck him hard, as if the long-buried bitterness in her heart had suddenly surfaced.

Fueled by liquid courage, Bella continued, "I've loved you for many years. Even a stone would've warmed up by now. What is your heart made of, Dominic? Thank you for hurting me. Does it feel nice to play with people's feelings? Does it give you a sense of accomplishment, or is it some kind of revenge you're after?

"I've had enough! Take my life if you must, but I'm done with you. Everything you gave, I'll return. I don't want to have anything more to do with you. I never want to see you again!TM

Dominic caught the scent of alcohol on her and realized she was drunk, which was why she was able to express all she had been suppressing

He clung to the word "love" from her outburst, and his grasp on her arm relaxed somewhat. In a hoarse voice, he replied, "You don't owe me anything anymore. You took a bullet for me, and that, along with the child... We're even now."

chald?

Bella chuckled bitterly and pressed her forehead against his chest as her body trembled violently. She couldn't lie to herself anymore. It was her decision not to keep the child, and she had been regretting it since then.

After a little pause, she stood up and shook his hand away, "Let's end it here. I've always felt that not having a proper conversation about this has left things unresolved. It's time to end it, so let's breakup. Let me go. I want to live with dignity for once, to live in a world without you. I've had enough!" Then, she knelt and fumbled through her handbag to find the car keys and bank card before slamming them down on the coffee table. "I'm r you gave me. Please, let me go."

Dominic melt and grabbed her wrists, forcing her into his arms. "Enough. Stop it! It's all my fault."

returning everything

Upon hearing his words, Bella finally broke down and cried hysterically. She didn't realize that he had swallowed his pride for the first time in 20 years. "It isn't your fault but mine, I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. Why are you treating me like this? If you hate me so much, let me go. I promise I'll never disturb you again."

For a moment, he didn't know how to reply to her words, so he just hugged her. No matter how hard she struggled, he wouldn't let her go.

She just wanted to let out all the feelings she had been keeping inside for so many days. She balled her fists and repeatedly punched his chest with all of her. strength, but her strikes felt weak against his strong physique. "Say something! Why are you keeping quiet?" Dominic hadn't seen her like this before. He realized that arguing with a drunk woman would go nowhere. If he said the wrong thing, she mig upset.
