After that, the two of them eventually fell silent, not knowing what else to say. At the same time, the
people around were still talking about the dolphins. As she noticed that Roger didn’t respond for a long
time, Rachel wondered if she had been too harsh on him. “Rog…” She moved her lips to call him,
wondering if she should say something to at least ease the tension.
However, before she could say anything, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Roger’s face. “You don’t
need to say anything. I know,” he said calmly. Rachel was stunned, not expecting what he said. “Then
why…” “Two years ago, when I saw the smile on your face when you said that you were going to marry
Victor, I knew that he was the only one in your heart. However, even though I accepted that, I couldn’t
get myself to give up on you.
In fact, I had been lying to myself the whole time, convincing myself that you only married him because
I didn’t make any move back then.” Roger sighed deeply and let out a bitter smile. “I actually thought of
finally letting go of you. When I came back from abroad and learned that you were pregnant with his
child, I told myself that it might be the right time.” Meanwhile, Rachel pursed her lips, said nothing, and
just listened. Roger chuckled as if mocking himself.
“But guess what? I still couldn’t. Since the first time I saw you in high school, I fell deeply in love with
you. However, it was only until years had passed when I finally realized that. Unfortunately, it was too
late. I really wanted to let go, but my feelings for you are buried too deep inside my heart.” When the
maid heard Roger’s confession, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath before looking at Rachel’s
face. She really thought that Rachel would be moved by Roger’s heartfelt speech.
But to her surprise, she didn’t seem to be touched at all. The maid couldn’t help but be taken aback. If
a man like Roger confessed his love to her so affectionately, she knew that she would instantly get
choked with her own tears. Then, she would run in his arms without any hesitation. On the other hand,
Rachel remained very calm, as if what Roger had said meant nothing to her. To be exact, she couldn’t
feel anything about it.
“Rachel, you don’t need to react. I’m not asking for an answer,” Roger explained, worried that Rachel
might take it the wrong way. “You don’t need to feel burdened. Just think of it as me finally saying the
things I had been dying to say. But still, I mean what I said just now. If you are unhappy with him, just
say the word.
I can take you away. I know it is impossible for you to fall in love with me at once, and I know how hard
it is to let go of someone you’ve loved for a long time. But I can wait. I can wait for you to get over him
and accept my feelings.” Roger stared intently into her eyes, trying to read what was on her mind.
Hearing this, Rachel sighed inwardly, knowing that her words were not ruthless enough to let Roger
down. “I’m sorry, Roger. You think it is okay? That I don’t need to feel burdened? But I do feel burdened
about it.”
Hearing this unexpected answer, Roger was stunned. “Let me get this straight. Roger, your love is a
burden to me.” Rachel continued to break his heart, clenching her fists tightly.
“I don’t care if you can get over me or not, but I don’t think we should talk or see each other again. I
want absolutely nothing between us. I just came to see you today to say this.” Roger swallowed hard. It
was as if he was having a nightmare. He couldn’t utter a word. Rachel’s words were like sharp knives
repeatedly stabbing his heart, making it hard for him to breathe of course, Rachel instantly saw how
Roger’s face turned pale. She had to admit that this time, she tried to hurt him as much as she could.
Rachel took a deep breath to calm herself down before she spoke again.
“I think I’ve made myself clear. Now, please excuse me. I need to go.” “Rachel, wait!” Roger called out
in his hoarse voice. Seeing that she was about to leave, he came to his senses and quickly grabbed
her wrist. However, as Roger stopped Rachel from leaving, someone suddenly appeared and hurriedly
approached Roger.
Bam!
The next second, Roger was punched hard right in his face. He was caught off guard, not expecting
that someone would suddenly hit him. As he staggered backward, his grip on Rachel’s wrist loosened.
Even Rachel was completely dumbfounded when she saw the man who punched Roger.
With a cold and dark expression, Victor stood in front of Roger with clenched fists. The veins on his
temples bulged slightly, and the aura around him was terrifying Nobody knew when he showed up in
this place. In fact, even Rachel didn’t hear that he was coming towards them.
At this time, blood trickled down from the corner of Roger’s mouth. As soon as he stood firm and wiped
the blood with his hand, Victor came at him again. However, Roger was standing right by the railing. If
he was hit by Victor again, he might fall off the ship “Roger, watch out!” Rachel shouted anxiously.
