Chapter 361 I’ll Go With You

“Let me go!” Stephanie struggled to break free from Crispin’s embrace, but the man only tightened his hold on her and pleaded, “Stephanie! I won’t allow you to hurt yourself like this!

“You can, Stephanie. Please try to forget this incident and live our lives happily together from now on, okay.” Crispin attempted to calm her down by speaking gently, but Stephanie continued to bawl as she shook her head. “I can’t. I can’t do it. I really can’t…”

“Let’s get married, Stephanie. I’ll spend the rest of my life healing your trauma, okay?” He gazed at her with sincerity.

Stephanie looked at Crispin, moved by his genuine expression, and asked, “You won’t despise

She felt tainted by that vile man and even started to hate herself. Yet, Crispin never left her side.

“No,” said Crispin as he gently tidied her disheveled hair with a smile. “I will never despise my Stephanie. In my heart, you’re pure and perfect.”

“Crisp…”

In moments like this, no woman could resist the tenderness of a man. He would be like a ray of light in the darkness.

Crispin’s face drew closer to hers, and this time Stephanie didn’t evade his touch. Instead, she closed her eyes and accepted his kiss.

As their lips met, a smile appeared on Crispin’s face. He knew he was another step closer to

success.
