Chapter 19 - Noah's Harsh Words

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing Mia mention Jenny again, Noah was extremely annoyed. Just because of this affair, he had been pestered for so long that he could no longer explain it. In an instant, his drunkenness and muddle-headed anger rushed up. Noah sneered. “Even if I cheat on you, you have to control yourself. If you want to go out and have fun, don’t forget that you still have the Noah family’s mark on you.”

Mia froze for a moment, and her mind blank for a few seconds. In all the years they’d been together, although Noah didn’t like her, he hadn’t spoken like he did today. It was like stabbing a knife into her heart.

Jack was right. Noah really didn’t respect her at all.

Mia raised her head to look at the man in front of her that she had been infatuated with for countless years, loved for countless years, and was willing to give up everything for. She was almost in despair as she asked with a trembling voice, “I’m your wife, so how can you say such things?”

“You say you’re my wife? If Grandpa didn’t force me to marry you back then, do you think I wanted to marry you?”

Noah blurted this out. After he said that, he regretted it a little. It was just that he had always said that to others all these years. Perhaps he was indignant about being forced to marry Mia back then, so he said the same thing to himself. Hence, he blurted it out on impulse today. Then, he saw Mia’s tears fall.

Mia’s physique was weak and her tear ducts were well developed. In addition, it had been a long time since Mia cried like this. Every time she was wronged, she would endure it herself. But today, she really couldn’t endure it anymore.

Looking at the weeping Mia, Noah had never seen such a scene before, so he panicked and did not know what to do. He could only hesitantly reach out his hand to wipe the tears off Mia’s face.

“We’re already married anyway, so we don’t have much of a choice… Stay away from Jack. One look and you can tell he’s up to no good… Tsk, why do you care so much about that scandal? I’ve told you so many times that I went to her house, and we’ve met a few times, but it was all for work. She’s our company’s spokesperson, and we only signed her after a long discussion.”

Mia was still crying and didn’t respond.

Noah began to feel a little helpless. “Alright, what are you crying for? Stop crying.” Seeing that Mia was still crying, Noah was about to go crazy.

People passed by one after another. When they saw this scene and how he had actually made the beauty cry so sadly, they all looked at the fierce Noah with disdain.

Noah’s forehead throbbed. He didn’t want anyone watching anymore, so he opened the door, shoved Mia inside, and got in the car himself.

When the car door was closed, it finally blocked the gazes of those who were watching.

Mia did not want to cry at all, but she had been suppressing her emotions for too long. After hearing Noah’s words today, she could not hold it in anymore.

When Mia was young, she was often bullied at the orphanage because she was a girl and was small and thin. She had a sensitive personality and low self-esteem. It was only when she met Jack in university that she slowly became more cheerful.

However, after Jack left the country and Mia and Noah got married, they stayed in the gallery and rarely interacted with outsiders. In addition to Noah’s averse attitude towards Mia at that time, Mia had always been very careful with this marriage. But even so, she had never received Noah’s affirmation over the years. Therefore, every word Noah said earlier was like a knife stabbing Mia’s heart.

Mia started to ask herself why she liked this person.

If she didn’t like him, would she not be so sad?

She was so upset that she felt like she was going to die.

His nerves, which had been numbed by the alcohol, sobered up a little. Noah began to realize belatedly how harsh he had been, and that it had not been his intention. However, he could not take back the words that he had said. Hence, he patiently coaxed Mia for a long time.

Mia sobbed for a moment before she pulled herself out of her sadness. She rubbed her stomach and forced herself to calm down and start thinking about something.

Then Mia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, “I’m sorry.”

Noah had been holding his breath beside her for a long time. He wanted to say, “I’m sorry,” but he never said it. So, when he heard Mia say, “I’m sorry”,

he was stunned.

Mia continued, “I shouldn’t have married you.”

Before Mia said these words, she thought for a long time. At that time, she was too innocent and young. She, thinking that she could eventually move Noah with her sincerity, had a sense of bravery.

Thinking back now, it was simply wishful thinking.

Mia wondered why it had taken her so long to figure it out.

Back then, if she had not nodded when his grandfather had asked her, perhaps Noah’s grandfather would not have forced Noah, who had just graduated, to marry her. After all, Noah was so young and outstanding back then. It was the time when he had spread his wings and wanted to show off his talent. However, he had been forced to marry someone he had never met and have children with for the rest of his life.

Noah’s dislike of her had been obvious from the beginning, but she hadn’t realized it then. Maybe she’d realized she didn’t care. Mia thought about how she really liked Noah then, after all.

Now, she thought about how arrogant Noah was, and he might have hated her from the bottom of his heart from the start. He moved into the same room to live with her only two years after they got married..
