Chapter 146: Staying together (2)
"Kate, for all the years that we have been married, did you not love me? I know that you fell in love with me just as I fell in love with you. We used each other," Noah confessed.
Noah didn’t have anywhere to go. He would have been lonely had he taken Kate’s money and left. He would even have to avoid town guards for a long time.
The time Noah spent with Clark and Kate was just an experience he missed. He felt like he had a family. He had somewhere where he belonged.
When Noah first made the deal with Clark to court Kate and make her feel wanted, he didn’t think he would stay here so long, but now, he didn’t regret staying.
"I believe that we both came to love each other. I don’t care that you used me because you were obsessed with being married. I don’t care that I was your only option. I still love you, and I know you love me. Someone like you wouldn’t have tolerated me this long if you didn’t," said Noah.
Noah didn’t mind if Kate only enjoyed the comfortable life she had with him. He never looked down on her or mistreated her because she couldn’t walk.
Kate was brought up to marry a man with wealth and status, but they weren’t options for her anymore. Noah had been a safe choice.
Kate didn’t want to respond.
What if she confessed that she did love him, only for him to leave and shame her too?
