The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1818

Mona’s expression froze on her face.

Morrison, who had been standing by the window, turned around, and his dark eyes looked calmly at Mona. “After you left, I should have been angry and resentful. Theoretically, I did feel that way. But truth be told, what I actually felt was relief and gratitude. It was an unprecedented sense of liberation, like the shackles that had weighed on me for years were suddenly lifted.”

Mona stared at him, dumbfounded.

“At the mention of the school reunion, the first face that flashed through my mind was someone else’s. Hearing you would be there gave me a reason to attend for old times sake.”

“Another face. Are you talking about Rose?” Mona said slowly.c2

Morrison looked down at her and didn’t deny it “Yes.”

“If I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t give anyone the chance to get close to me.”

Mona suddenly let out a cold laugh, cutting Morrison off. “So you kept me by your side all those years, yet you never touched me. Can I interpret this as you not really wanting to give me a chance to get close to you?

“Why did you choose me as your girlfriend in the first place, Morrison? What were you thinking? Rose was always around you back then, and if you had agreed, I’m sure she would have been delighted to be your girl Why did you choose me?”

Morrison’s frown deepened. “Why do you think that if i agreed, Rose would have been delighted to be my girlfriend?”

Mona looked at him with a face full of sarcasm, as if she were looking at a fool, feeling both speechless and amused. She let out a cold laugh, “Even if you didn’t like me much at the time, did it ever cross your mind that you chose me just because you didn’t like Rose clinging to you, that you were annoyed by her? You kept me by your side just to make Rose back off, to cut off her hopes for you. And now you are asking me this.

“Don’t tell me you still don’t know that Rose likes you.”

Perhaps Morrison’s words had struck a nerve. For years, Mona had tried to hide Rose’s presence, not wanting Morrison to pay too much attention to her But today, Morrison finally confronted the complex feelings he harbored for Rose, even confessing to her

At this point, what else did she have to hide?

Morrison’s hands clenched into fists in his pockets as he looked at her with detachment. “You knew too?”

“Heh. Mona laughed again, “Morrison, should I say you’re clever or foolish? Everyone can see Rose likes you, except you. And everyone thought you really disliked her, including me. But it turns out that you’ve fooled everyone. The funniest part is that you even fooled yourself.”

Mona’s laughter was bitter, her face a mix of sorrow and irony. It was ridiculous.

How could anyone deceive themselves? Deceive themselves into hating someone, it was unheard of.

Morrison watched her with narrowed eyes, his voice low. “Ive deceived my self?”

Something stirred in Mona, her expression stiffening. She laughed coldly again, “If you don’t understand, never mind. Maybe I’m just overthinking

It

But Morrison ignored her, continuing. “So what you’re saying is that I’ve deceived myself into hating Rose? In fact, I’m in love with her, is that it?

Mona’s heart raced, and she inadvertently met Morrisons intense gaze. He had moved closer to the bed, his eyes now holding her in an invisible grip, leaving her nowhere to hide. She felt even more strongly that his expression wasn’t one of waiting for a real answer, but rather forcing her to

nod in agreement with his previous words.

She bit her lip hard, “I told you that it’s just a guess I don’t know…”

“So you mean that the person I’ve loved all along was Rose”

Mona’s hands clenched tightly, feeling a chill Hearing Morrison confess his love for Rose several times, her patience had been completely exhausted “Don’t you realize how stupid your question is? It’s your own love life, how would I know whether you truly love her or not?”

Morrison’s eyes flickered slightly
