Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1604

"Hayes, I've always believed that having one man in your heart while being with another is disloyal and unfair.I never refused to be your woman because I disliked you, but because I didn't want to let you down."

Hayes gazed at her deeply, a hint of tenderness seeping into his cold eyes.

Mia continued.

"You may be cold and aloof, but you're a good person."

Hayes suddenly seemed to have heard a joke.He tilted his head and said sarcastically, "It's the first time someone's ever called me a good person."

"It's because they don't understand you.In my eyes, you are a good person who loves your brother and shoulders the responsibility of your family's honor.You're just burdened with too much and can't be your true self."

Hayes felt a tremor in his heart.He looked at her and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Do you think by saying these things, you can stop me from giving you away?"

Mia shook her head.

"If my goal was to please you and dissuade you from giving me away, I wouldn't say these things; I would just agree to be your woman.So, Hayes, everything I've just said is truly what is in my heart."

"What's in your heart?"

Hayes murmured, then laughed strangely.
