Chapter 123 I Will Not Marry You
Emily's eyes instantly turned red.
She bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, giving her a misty look.
Taking a step forward, she complained, "Ivan, last night you left the banquet early without taking me with you. Mr. Robinson ended up giving me a ride home... Do you know how inappropriate Mr. Robinson was? He looked at me with lustful eyes and even grabbed my hand... If I hadn't resisted, he would have almost taken me to a hotel room..."
Finally, Ivan looked at her directly. "Why did you resist?"
Emily faltered, almost choked by this question.
Wasn't resisting a normal reaction? What was there to ask about?
But since Ivan asked, of course, she had to give a proper answer.
She blinked, and tears streamed down her face. "Ivan, I am not a promiscuous woman... Five years ago, that night between us was the result of various accidents. I regret why I had relations with a man before marriage, but what could I do? You were drunk that night, so strong that I couldn't break free... If I had another chance, I would never enter the wrong room..."
She spoke while crying, as if she would faint the next second.
Ivan felt somewhat annoyed and rubbed his brow.
That night five years ago was also the biggest regret of his life.
If it weren't for Owen and Keith, the two children, he might have thrown Emily out of Cuenca long ago.
Every time this woman appeared, she continued to remind him of his foolish past...
"Ivan, that one mistaken night five years ago doesn't mean I can have relations with just any man."
Suddenly, Emily hugged Ivan's waist.
She buried her face in his chest and pleaded with sobs, "Ivan, I love you. I can't accept any other man... Let me be your wife, please..."
A strong scent of perfume wafted in the air, as Ivan coldly raised his hand and forcefully pushed Emily aside.
Emily hadn't expected this man to be so heartless. She took a step back, tripped over a chair, and fell onto the sofa.
"Ivan, how could you do this to me..." she cried out, "I am the mother of our children, the woman you once possessed! I gave birth to two children for you, how can you be so heartless towards me? I just wanted the children to call me 'mom' with legitimacy. Is that too much to ask?"
Ivan took off his suit jacket. The overpowering scent of perfume on it, along with this woman's tears, made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He quickly threw the suit jacket into the trash can, a cold smile hanging on his lips. "I know what you want."
His voice was deep and his eyes contained a hidden sharpness. "If you don't fancy Mr. Robinson, or anyone else for that matter, with so many outstanding young talents in Cuenca, feel free to take your pick."
Emily trembled all over.
She had suspected last night that Ivan wanted to give her to another man, but she never expected it to be true!
How could he...how could he do such a thing, when she had given him two children?
"No, Ivan, I only love you, and I only want to be with you..."
Ivan stared at her. "I am a man you are unworthy of."
He ripped off his tie and threw it into the trash can, then headed upstairs.
Emily's strength drained from her body, and she helplessly hugged her knees.
Ivan would never marry her, it was impossible...
They had spent a night together and even had two children, yet he still refused to marry her.
Who could help her think through this situation?
Should she really give in to Mr. Robinson?
