Chapter 910 A Lifetime of Waiting
"Friend?" Joseph laughed coldly, "The kind of friend who has to be by her side at all times, who has to appear at her beck and call, and if I'm late, she'll throw a tantrum? The kind of friend who must be responsible for her safety and her happiness for the rest of her life?"
Megan quickly defended herself, "I didn't."
"Megan, when did you become like this?" Joseph interrupted her impatiently. "I only dated you, and up until now, I haven't even been intimate with you. Even when we broke up, I gave you a lot of property and money. You can't keep acting like you'll commit suicide if I'm not with you."
Joseph had enough! He was tired of feeling like he had to be responsible for Megan for the rest of his life. He was tired of constantly hurting Cassie because of Megan.
Megan was startled by Joseph's fierce expression. "You misunderstand. I only thought of suicide because I... felt impure. Joseph, I love you. My love for you has never changed."
"Too bad, I don't love you anymore," Joseph spoke with unwavering coldness. "Megan, you should be content. Look at Cassie; she married me and even had a miscarriage for me, but when we divorced, I didn't give her a penny. For a ruthless man like me, I've been more than kind to you. I've even taken care of your useless brother. You cured my illness, but I've repaid you. Tell me, what have I, Joseph, done to wrong you?"
Megan and Nathan were stunned. Even though Joseph was sitting in a wheelchair, the anger in his eyes made them fearful.
After a long pause, Megan said painfully, "Do you think I was behind what happened to Spencer? I wasn't, I swear..."
"It doesn't matter if you did or not. What matters is that I realize if I keep entangling with you, I might never find anyone to marry." Joseph's handsome brow was filled with irritation.
"I'll soon announce our breakup publicly, so those reporters will stop taking pictures of us. Megan, this is the end. If you want to commit suicide, don't keep calling me. I'll withdraw Dragon's people. If you get kidnapped, let the kidnappers find Nathan. I can't be responsible for you forever," he added.
With that, Joseph turned his wheelchair, and Nathaniel immediately pushed him out.
"No, Joseph, don't go." Megan cried, chasing after him, trying to grab Joseph, but Nathaniel blocked her.
"Joseph, I can't live without you. Have you forgotten our vows? You can't be so heartless just because of Cassie? Cassie doesn't love you as much as I do," she continued.
Joseph turned back and looked at Megan's tear-streaked face. In the past, he might have been moved, but now, Cassie's sorrowful expression after being hurt by him repeatedly flashed before his eyes.
Joseph's heart ached.
For the first time, he felt a tinge of annoyance towards Megan.
"Cassie doesn't love me, but I love her, and as for you, I don't love you anymore," Joseph spoke clearly and didn't linger, letting Nathaniel push him away.
He now fully realized that trying to protect Megan while seeking Cassie's love was too hurtful. Since Cassie had called him heartless, he might as well be completely heartless.
In the hospital room, Megan's hysterical cries echoed, and Nathan was at a loss.
"You see, I told you that your constant threats of suicide would annoy Mr. Hernandez. Now that you don't have him to rely on, what are you going to do?" Nathan said.
"Shut up," Megan snapped at Nathan, her frustration evident.
Her eyes filled with boundless hatred. She thought, 'Joseph, you are too heartless.'
Megan loved Joseph so much, hurting herself time and again for him, but in the end, he still didn't want her. She would make him pay for this.
The next day, Joseph announced through his verified Facebook account: [Recently, there have been rampant rumors about me and Miss Megan getting married and reconciling. Today, I clearly state that Megan and I have officially broken up. The reason for the breakup is the loss of love, and we will not reconcile in the future.]
After the message was posted, Facebook became very lively.
One user commented: [Mr. Hernandez's words are truly clear and thorough in their heartlessness.]
Another added: [This is the first time I've seen a man so openly admit to being heartless. I don't even know what to say.]
A third user chimed in: [They had a wedding ceremony not long ago, and now suddenly the feelings are gone. In other words, he just changed his mind.]
Someone else said: [It seems Mr. Hernandez still has Miss Brooks in his heart.]
A fifth user questioned: [Is Mr. Hernandez going to reconcile with Miss Brooks soon?]
A sixth user replied: [Very likely. They were seen hiking together a few days ago.]
So, netizens flocked to Cassie's Facebook to comment.
One user commented: [Cassie, are you and Joseph getting back together officially?]
Another persuaded: [Cassie, don't reconcile with the heartless Joseph. You deserve better.]
Cassie, who was working at the Peace Group, was completely frustrated when she saw herself trending for no reason.
Moments later, she also quickly posted through her account: [Joseph and I tried dating again a few days ago, but we found it still doesn't match. I prefer men who are straightforward about their feelings. We will not reconcile in the future. I hope everyone stops involving me in Joseph's emotional world. From now on, we will each be well.]
After the message was posted, the waiting netizens were once again in an uproar.
Someone comment: [What does she mean by preferring men who are straightforward about their feelings? Cassie, did Joseph keep in touch with Megan while dating you?]
A second user comforted: [Poor Cassie, don't be upset over Joseph anymore. You deserve better.]
A third user added: [I heard that Joseph and Cassie were in court against each other over Megan a few days ago.]
A fourth user cursed: [Damn, Joseph is the world's number one playboy.]
At this moment, sitting in his office, Joseph felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw Cassie's post.
She was so heartless.
She even publicly promised that they would not reconcile and wished for each other's well-being?
Without Cassie, he could never be well.
Joseph quickly drew a heart on a piece of white paper, took a photo with his phone, and posted it on Facebook: [A lifetime of waiting.]
Users were like: [Drawing a heart and writing a lifetime of waiting. Does that mean he's going to wait for Cassie his whole life?]
One user comment: [Definitely. What is Mr. Hernandez doing? If he's not heartless, I'm not used to his sudden deep affection.]
A second user questioned: [I don't understand the world of the rich. Three years ago, he said Megan was his true love, and now, three years later, it's a lifetime of waiting for Cassie. I don't buy it.]
Cassie quickly saw Joseph's post as well, and a sarcastic smile tugged at her lips.
A lifetime of waiting? Impossible, she didn't buy it either.
