Chapter 587 Empty and Soulless
"I must tell you these things in advance because right now, I can't accept any other woman, neither in my heart nor in my body."
"Other woman." These words made Isabella even more upset. "So now, in your eyes, I'm just another woman?"
"Only Ava is special to me, always has been. So, Isabella, you still have time to leave me. Really, I'm not worth your persistence. Marrying me will only bring you pain." Alexander laid out all the harsh truths without any reservation.
Isabella had never imagined she would face such cruel realities!
She always thought she had Alexander under control. As long as she cried or pretended to be weak and innocent, he would believe her, always protect her, and always love her.
But until today, hearing Alexander say these words to her, she realized that everything was under his control. He was always restrained. His kindness to her and his attitude towards her were all because of Ava.
She always hoped Alexander and Ava would divorce. She thought that once they divorced, she could become his wife.
But the reality was completely different from what she imagined. After Alexander got divorced, he discovered his true inner thoughts.
But things had turned out this way. What was the use of her making a scene or crying? Isabella knew when to stop. After her tantrums, she got what she wanted, which was that Alexander was still willing to marry her, although he couldn't give her love.
However, she would still be Mrs.Mitchell, and that's what she wanted.
Isabella reminded herself to stay calm, no matter how heartless Alexander's words were.
Isabella always managed to find the most advantageous aspect for herself in the most unfavorable situations.
"Alex, I love you. Even though it hurts to hear you say these things, I still love you. Marrying you is my dream, my wish for so many years. I don't know what's wrong with you. Maybe you're confused for a moment, but it's okay. I'll wait for you. After we get married, we have a long time ahead. As time passes by, I believe you will change!"
"What if I never change, never love you, and you remain just my wife in a name? Can you endure that?" Alexander asked.
"It doesn't matter. We have a lot of time. No one can predict the future. Maybe one day you'll suddenly love me, suddenly realize you need me."
"Isabella, I..."
"Don't say anything." Isabella covered his mouth. "Alex, I beg you. Don't say such cruel things anymore. Don't talk about the future. None of us know the future. Let's focus on the present, okay? I beg you."
Seeing Isabella streaming tears down, Alexander grabbed her hand and gently pushed her away. "Okay, I won't say anymore."
Isabella finally smiled, a tearful smile of joy. She nodded and grabbed Alexander's hand. "So, are we settled now? The day after tomorrow, we're getting married, right?"
Alexander nodded. "Yes, it's settled. I'll arrange everything. After the wedding, we'll immediately register our marriage. You want to be my wife, and I'll fulfill your dream, but that's all I can do."
"That's enough, Alex. I'm not greedy. This is enough to make me happy."
Isabella hugged Alexander tightly, leaning in his arms. "I believe you would be good to me Whether you love me or not. I will always believe you."
Alexander's hands hung by his sides, silent, his eyes empty and soulless.
