Second Chance At Love

Chapter 109

West thought, ‘Oh, Jason is anxious now? The Arthur guy hasn’t left yet. Isn’t he afraid of exposing his weakness in front of that guy?!

The expected pain did not come. Sophia fell into a broad embrace. The familiar scent of mint lingered around the tip of her nose.

She thought, it’s him! Actually, I guessed earlier that he intentionally told Lucas that the ransom was only 600 thousand dollars. Jason, though emotionally distant, has always been generous. He suddenly became stingy, so he must have another plan. Now, my speculation has been confirmed. He’s afraid Jonas may see his weakness, so he pretends not to care. Weakness? Humph! This man is destined to be ruined by me, and he can never turn his life around again.

“Jason, you saved Ada that day and abandoned me,” Sophia said.

Her nonchalant words carried no hint of reproach, but each word was like a sharp blade that ruthlessly pierced Jason’s chest. A shattering

pain struck, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Leaning in his arms, Sophia sensed that his heartbeat quickened and his breathing became labored. The corners of her lips could not help but curl up in the pleasure of revenge.

She thought, “See? As long as he cares about me, I can make him suffer with a word and a gesture. It feels so good. I’ve struggled in the depths of pain for too long, longing for someone to come down and accompany me.”

“I don’t blame you,” she continued. “After all, she’s the one you love the most. I’ve had that feeling of wanting to protect my loved one with all my heart too. If you ever face danger one day, I’ll alsoConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

give up everything to save you.”

She continued to use subtle methods to gradually harm him, striking at his soul and making him remember deeply all the harm he had

caused to her.

Jason suppressed the feeling of suffocation in his chest and suddenly tightened his grip around her waist. He leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice that seemed to be tinged with a hint of pain.

“I’ve let you down,” he said. ‘Don’t worry. l surely make it up to you doubly in the future.”

With that said, he slowly opened his mouth, gently took her earlobe between his lips, and nibbled on it delicately.

Such an intimate action in public was clearly only done by s

someone who had love in his heart.

Sophia smiled in an unusual way. Hatred flashed across her eyes

She thought, “I think I’m one step closer to my goal. Every time this man hurts me, he loves me a little more. The day when that love, suppressed by him, erupts completely, will be the day of his irreversible downfall.

West, who was standing at the side and watching coldly, sensitively caught the hatred in Sophia’s eyes. With some concern, he glanced at his friend who seemed unaware of being trapped in the situation, sighing silently

He thought, “I was wrong. In the future, it’s not Sophia who will truly suffer, but this guy. How terrifying can a woman be when she gets ruthless? Just look at what Luna did to reject me back then. She schemed for me to be engaged to the heiress of Rester Bank. They will really do anything to achieve their goals. Sophia showed Jason genuine affection, but he let her down, so she sought revenge. Similarly, Luna shattered my beautiful dreams and made me ruthless and bloodthirsty, I will repay tenfold. It’s both obsession and dissatisfaction. It is only when the other party experiences the same pain that one can feel a sense of emotional balance and one’s soul can be freed.

After leaning on Jason’s chest for a moment, Sophia slowly restrained her smile, pushed him away, and looked into his eyes, enunciating each word as she said, “The pain of being abandoned by you, I will taste it alone”

Jason’s heart suddenly ached. He instinctively reached out to clutch his chest, his face turning pale.

He said, “Sophia…”

The words “I’m sorry”

ry” were stuck in his throat and unable to be uttered no matter how hard he tried.

Sophia ignored him, turning her head to look at West across from her. She nodded and said, “Thank you for saving me, Mr. Baker. Luna is a good girl. If you love her, please take good care of her and don’t destroy her.”

With that said, she walked toward the courtyard, preparing to retrieve Lucas’s body.

But as she walked up the steps and saw the situation in the courtyard, she was stunned.
