Chapter 1197: Try to Trust Me
Steven Cooper met Nicole Seys’s gaze, and spoke each word with extraordinary clarity and resolve: "I’m saying that no matter which ’you’ it is, I want you. The one I love and want is just Nicole Seys—not any identity, and not any obstacle can make me change."Nicole looked into Steven’s serious eyes and stayed silent.
"He hurt you twice, Nicole. Can you try to forget him, try to accept me, try to believe me? Give me a chance to prove that I’ll only love you more deeply than he ever did. Yes, I won’t deny I came into your life later, but as long as you give me a chance to be good to you, I’m confident you’ll never regret giving me that chance in the future. He doesn’t cherish you—I do. He doesn’t love you—I do."
Listening to Steven’s words and seeing just how serious he was, Nicole would be lying if she said she wasn’t shaken. Only... She stared at Steven, pressed her lips together, and said in a low voice, "Brother Cooper, you have to understand, I’ve lost two babies, I was used as a man’s ’supply’ for five whole years..."
"Over two months is more than enough time for me to think it through clearly. Right now I only want to tell you the result of my thinking, and that is—I love you, and none of that matters. There are people in this world who only find true love in a second marriage, and people who only meet the one they like after seeing all the sails pass by. If you haven’t gone through these emotional blows, how would you know how to treasure what comes after? Nicole, you’re not dirty, that man is trash. Just trust me once. Give me a chance to prove I’m different, okay?"
Every word Steven said hammered against Nicole’s heart, but being hurt so badly twice had made her sensitive and fragile. Faced with such a deep confession from him, she only froze for an instant before quickly dropping her gaze without a word.
Jose Floyd had once been so good to her that no one else in this world could compare with the love and pampering he gave her.
But in the blink of an eye, he became more ruthless to her than anyone, hurting her without the slightest mercy. He was cruel enough to buy saffron and send away his own biological child...
In this world, aside from her big brother and Ariel, and Daisy and Brother Dawn, she had never seen any other couple whose love was truly unshakable.
Feelings like her big brother and Ariel’s—how many tens of millions to one would that be in this world?
A one-in-ten-thousand-miles kind of existence!
Seeing Nicole’s silence, Steven sighed. "I know you can’t trust anyone right now, but I’m willing to use time to prove myself. I just want one promise from you, okay?"
"Go ahead." Nicole’s voice was low.
"From now on, try to forget him, try to start believing in me. If in the end you really don’t end up with him, then marry me. It’s okay if you don’t love me—I’ll love you. Life is so long, and it hasn’t been easy for me to meet someone like you who makes my heart move. I don’t want to miss you. I’ll use my true heart in exchange for you living by my side, safe and carefree into old age."
"Brother Cooper... that’s not fair to you." Nicole pressed her lips together, her voice a little hoarse.
"Love has never been about fairness, only about ’I’m willing.’" Steven looked at her, his voice gentle. "In your current condition, if you don’t want the Seys Family to worry, you can’t go back to the old Seys estate. My parents aren’t home these days, they’re away on business. If you trust me, I’ll take you to the Cooper Family place for a while to recuperate. Nicole, what do you think? Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t do anything to you, and I don’t have any other agenda. It’s just that the doctor just told us you must nurse your body back to health, otherwise it will leave aftereffects for your future..."
Nicole was silent for over ten seconds, then slowly nodded. "Thank you, Brother Cooper. Can you discharge me now and take me out of the hospital?"
In the hospital, staying here, Andrea Greenwood and Olivia Summer could come by at any time, and she didn’t want to see them...
