Unrepairable Love
Chapter 552
Alexander breezed past Esme and Henry, heading straight into the venue. Seeing this, Esme jumped up in a hurry.
Henry sighed, stepped forward to help her up, and when he saw she was about to chase after Alexander, he quickly grabbed her arm and snapped, “Esme, you might not care about your reputation, but the Russell Family does!”
“Henry, I’d give up everything for Alexander. If you think I’m embarrassing you, then I’ll leave the Russell Family! Esme shot back.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a loud slap echoed through the room. Everything went dead silent.
Esme turned her head slightly, shock flashing across her face, her eyes wide. She covered her cheek with one hand, staring at Henry
in disbelief.
Esme couldn’t wrap her head around it. Henry had always spoiled her since she was a kid, but now he hit her. Tears welled up in
Esme’s eyes.
Henry’s expression turned icy, and he scolded, “Esme, you’re losing it over a guy!”
Leave the Russell Family? How could she even say that? Does she have any idea how much the Russell Family has invested in her?
Henry thought.
Esme was important, sure, but once Nancy came back, she wouldn’t be. Her reckless words really disappointed and angered Henry. Esme was acting so immature!
“Henry, you actually hit me?” Esme’s voice trembled, full of hurt.
Henry sneered, “Yeah, I hit you. Was it too light?”
“Henry, you’ve always loved me the most since I was a kid. You never had the heart to hit me. You even said that no matter what happened between Alexander and me, you’d always support me. And how you hit me? Why?” Esme cried.
She couldn’t understand why people changed so fast. Just because she didn’t save Alexander, he didn’t want her anymore. Just because she kept clinging to Alexander, Henry hit her.
‘What else is real? What else?‘ Esme wondered.
“Esme, everything has a limit. You’ve clearly gone too far! If you keep this up, I’ll have to take you to see a psychologist,” Henry
scolded.
Esme kept crying, and Henry just looked at her silently.
Esme lowered her head, tears streaming down. “Henry, I thought you understood me, but it turns out you don’t. Am just like Alexander; I just want to be with him, am I really wrong?”
She had invested so many years of feelings too. She was so close to success, but then an accident happened.
“Henry, I lied to him, I was wrong. But my feelings for him all these years were real.” Esme cried.
People around them were all staring, and it was obvious why Esme was like this.
‘y wrong? I
Henry felt a pang in his heart. Although Esme wasn’t his biological sister, in the Russell Family, she was already like one. Henry closed his eyes, eventually softening.
Esme looked at Henry again, her eyes red as she called out, “Henry.”
