Zane's eyes were tinged with crimson, and Natalie felt a pang of heartache, leaning over to continuously kiss the area above his eyes, one kiss after another.
She wanted to divert Zane's emotions, and suddenly a memory flashed in her mind of what he had said on the night they received their marriage certificate when she threw a tantrum.
"Didn't you say that you could give me everything I want?"
Zane's voice was hoarse, excessively restrained and suppressed, completely hoarse.
"Hmm?"
Natalie reached out and tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Then show me a smile."
Natalie understood everything, she understood it all.
She understood why Zane had rejected her goodwill and advances on the mountaintop that day. Gideon was still suffering in the hospital, he watched Gideon's life shattered, watched him part ways with happiness, so how could he find peace in letting himself find happiness?
