Chapter 571

? ? ? ? ?

In a low, raspy voice, Jarrod pleaded, “Nicole, let's leave the past behind. I will make you feel love again.

Jarrod never backed down, not once. No matter how hard things were, he refused to bow his head. However, in front of Nicole, he repeatedly humiliated himself, seeking her forgiveness. Your forgiveness might ease his despair.

But Jarrod overlooked a crucial fact. The woman he was hugging looked nothing like the Nicole he remembered. Nicole, who had once loved him wholeheartedly, was long gone.

As Jarrod lowered his guard, Nicole quickly raised her elbow and pressed it against his wound with precision.

He came out of the water with a splash as he stood up. Looking at Jarrod, she noticed that his handsome face was pale with pain. He covered the wound and fell into the bathtub.

«Jarrod, your love makes me sick! You are just as disgusting! Everything you say makes me nauseous! Don't you dare say such disgusting words to me again! You have no right to talk about love with me! A new beginning? Do you think you deserve it? Nicole didn't mince her words, her hatred for him was evident.

In the eyes of others, Jarrod was a promising young businessman and a captivating man firmly devoted to his ex-girlfriend. But for Nicole, it was nothing more than a nuisance that bothered her incessantly. Sharing the air with him made her sick.

«Jarrod, true love is equal. Those who truly love each other respect each other. Not like you, who use dirty tactics to get your way! "You will never understand what true love means," he declared.

The disgust in Nicole's eyes hurt Jarrod deeply. It hurt even more than a knife to the heart.

Nicole's words were right. Jarrod didn't know how to love. However, he hadn't felt anything as strong for any other woman since he lost her. I loved Nicole. He craved her body, her heart, everything about her!

He wanted her to be with him forever.

And Nicole? From what Jarrod had learned, she chose a quiet life abroad, finding love with someone new. If she had stayed hidden, he might have been alone his entire life. But she returned, only to try to escape from his side again. That was unacceptable to Jarrod.

Suddenly, Jarrod grabbed Nicole's leg, forcefully pulling her back into the water.

“Splash!”

Nicole fell back into the water, struggling to get up, but Jarrod quickly pushed her back down. She was immobilized, with her head against the edge of the bathtub.

Jarrod easily suppressed all of Nicole's struggle and resistance in the water.

Despite his injuries, Jarrod was still a strong man. His strength was abundant enough to overpower a delicate woman like Nicole. With a firm squeeze on her jaw, he rasped, “Tell me, who really understands love?

Who do you love?

Jarrod pressed himself against Nicole, his cold, dark eyes boring into hers as he asked coldly, “That bastard from the Watts family?”

Nicole couldn't help but scoff at his words. Jarrod never changed.

He pointed fingers but never saw his own flaws. Roscoe had become their target. Whether he mentioned it or not, he couldn't stop Jarrod from making things difficult for Roscoe.

Fortunately, Roscoe was not alone. With the support of the Watts family, Jarrod would not have the power to harm him. If Roscoe were a normal man, he would soon find himself in a fatal "accident."

Meeting Jarrod's gaze, Nicole said, “Jarrod, you are so pathetic.

Really laughable. Do you really think you have a chance against him?
