Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love
12:59 Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love Chapter 76 Corynn, Donât Say It Jason had meticulously planned his declaration of love, but ultimately, it was ruined.
He turned to Corynn, who remained silent, and sighed to himself. The ruined ceremony was a minor concern; what truly mattered was their togetherness.
Yet, Elliotâs abrupt intrusion still unsettled him.
âCorynn, how are you feeling?â he asked, concern lining his voice. Suddenly, he noticed bloodstains on Corynnâs collar and his heart skipped a beat. âWhy are you injured?â
âItâs not my blood,â Corynn replied.
She struggled with how to explain things to Jason, especially after he had witnessed Elliotâs aggressive kiss.
Elliotâs persistence worried her.
His actions todayâdragging her away during Jasonâs heartfelt confessionâsuggested he might cause even greater disruptions in the future, perhaps even at their wedding.
Taking a deep breath, Corynn suddenly regretted her decision to be with Jason.
His association with her seemed to invite scrutiny and judgment.
Jason scrutinized Corynn closely and felt a wave of relief upon confirming that she wasnât hurt.
Noticing the hesitation on Corynnâs face, he raised a finger to gently silence her before she could speak.
Instinctively, he sensed that whatever she was about to say would unsettle him.
He had entered into this situation willingly, fully aware of the potential complications. Regardless of the circumstances, he believed the fault lay not with Corynn but with Elliot.
âCorynn, donât say it,â he interjected softly.
Corynn looked up at him, grateful that todayâs event was just a confession, not a gathering with family; most of the onlookers were merely hotel staff.
Jasonâs empathy deepened her sense of guilt.
Why did he have to be so understanding and kind?
Internally conflicted, she debated whether to disclose the full extent of the dayâs events.
It was evident that Elliot was not going to give up easily. How many more times would they face such disruptions?

Chapter 76 Corynn, Donât Say It Corynn dreaded the thought of Jason having to deal with the repercussions of her past Just as she was about to voice her concerns, Erickâs concerned voice interrupted her thoughts.
âCorynn, are you alright? Erick asked, his voice laden with worry.
Corynn turned to him and replied, âIâm fine.â
Erick glanced at Jason, appearing hesitant to speak further.
Jason, sensing the mood, suggested, âLetâs head back for now. We didnât succeed today, but there will be other opportunities.
We have plenty of time.*
Erick had anticipated that Jason might be somewhat troubled by the events, but he was surprised by his broad -minded response. In comparison, Jason was far superior to Elliot.
Crucially, Jason never complicated matters for Corynn or caused her any distress.
âItâs just a ceremony, after all. The main thing is that youâre together. What really matters is that you secure the marriage certificate soon, so we can officially become family! Erick encouraged, patting Jason on the shoulder.
Jason turned to Corynn, affirming to Erick, âIâll keep trying.â
âI appreciate your effort,â Shirley said, looking at Jason with a mix of affection and sympathy.
As the conversation continued, Corynn found herself unable to interject.
Facing Jasonâs earnest gaze, she found the words âletâs call it quitsâ impossible to utter. *
âLetâs go inside and celebrate Corynnâs discharge from the hospital today with dinner!â Erick suggested enthusiastically, leading the way to the private dining room with his hand on Jasonâs shoulder, the two of them resembling father and son.
Shirley, walking beside Corynn and holding her hand, whispered, âCorynn, donât bring up such things now. Everyone has feelings, and even though Jason seems unaffected, it still hurts him.â
Corynn lowered her gaze and responded softly, âI understand.â
