Chapter 1032 You’re the Girl I Love Most (VIII)

• “I used to be too timid, too hesitant. I didn’t dare face you, or even myself. But I can’t keep hurting you—and me. Without you, I’ve been miserable too.” Chadwick Fullner could hear the pain and grief in Madison Sawyer’s voice. It gutted him.
• “Too late.” Madison shook her head. “If it were back then, hearing you say this—even if you said nothing at all—if you kept me close just out of guilt, I would’ve been over the moon. But now? The Madison Sawyer who loved you is dead—killed by herself, by her love for you, and by your coldness. I’m not the old Madison anymore. Your feelings mean nothing to me now. I won’t fall for anyone again. Please disappear from my sight, from my world. I never want to remember that I once did something that stupid for someone like you.”
• “Madison…” Chadwick turned back, voice cracking with pain. “Is it because of what I said that day? I need you to know—it wasn’t true. Your mom and Dad came to me that day. They said you were suffering, that you’d promised you wouldn’t be with me, but you couldn’t let go—you were in agony every day. They begged me to make you give up for good. I honestly thought letting you go would free you, so I lied… Madison, you know me. I’m not that kind of man. That check—your Dad gave me the account number because of the house. I was going to wire him the money. I filled in the amount just so you’d believe me more. I would never sell out love for money—ever. I just couldn’t stand you hurting more… I never thought you’d try to kill yourself… If I’d known, I wouldn’t have said those things. I would’ve confessed and fought for us. I wouldn’t have let you suffer like this.”
