Chapter 417 Charmine swiftly avoided his touch and took a few steps backward.
Julian was transfixed. After a moment, he smiled bitterly. “I know you hate me, and I‘d be lying if I say it‘s not my fault. I had a thought today that if I could go back in time, if I had another chance, it‘ll all be different today… However, it‘s not too late yet.”
With that, he took out a wedding ring and knelt on one knee in front of Charmine.
“Charmine, marry me. I‘ll agree to whatever you ask for. If you want me to be your witness to send Tiffany to jail, I‘ll do that. If you want a prenup, we‘ll go get one. Just as long as you agree to marry me.” He was obviously drunk, but his face was determined. At that moment, he only had one thought: Marry Charmine, no matter what it took! He wanted to have closure for all the mistakes he made throughout the years. This was the only way to make up for the huge mistake and regret. He also believed that after everything that he said, Charmine would agree. However... Charmine looked down on him with disgust. “Huh? So the high–up Mr. Cabell is proposing to me? Didn‘t you say that you‘ll never like me, even if I‘m a royal princess?”
Julian was caught off–guard as he remembered those words to Charmine five years ago. Tiffany had a grip on his mind back then, and he hated Charmine badly. He never knew that the cheap and ugly look on Charmine was caused by Tiffany. If they did not manipulate her to dress down, Charmine would not have looked so ugly.
He half–sobbed, “I was blind for all the things I‘ve said and done to you. You can hit me, scold
- me. »
“Ha–ha–ha! Oh, Julian! Do you think you look very sincere and genuine now? You think you can touch me?” Charmine mocked him with an insulting laugh and then glared at him coldly.” You‘re just a drunk dog! A useless dog who was cheated on and attacked! Do you think you really love me? If I came back from Africa with my same old look, without that diamond mine, without becoming the glamorous supermodel, do you think you‘d love me? Would you kneel before me like you‘re doing right now?” Julian’s hands that held the ring stiffened. Charmine continued to mock him, “What you love is the glamorous me, and what you miss is someone who once loved you genuinely. You kicked that woman who loved you deeply down the staircase. This glamorous me will never belong to you!”. With that, she raised her leg and kicked Julian harshly at his chest –as hard as how he kicked her five years ago. Thunk!
Julian‘s body fell.to the floor as the diamond ring fell out of sight.
Charmine remained unperturbed as she calmly walked past him, cold and arrogant.
Seeing that she was about to leave the room, Julian got up immediately. He grabbed Charmine‘s arm and pushed her against the wall, more violent than usual after getting drunk. He pressed Charmine‘s shoulders and yelled at her, “You don‘t belong to me now, so do you belong to Anthony? Do you really think he likes you? He‘s just playing you, and he‘ll leave you
eventually! I don‘t mind you‘ve slept with him, and I don‘t even mind you were pregnant! What rights have you got to reject me? What rights have you got to reject me!?” With reddened eyes, Julian growled as he shook Charmine vigorously. Charmine‘s back was knocked onto the cold, hard wall behind her, more painful than usual. His vehement shaking got her dizzy before she could react. It took her a while before she regained her composure, and she glared at him with a condescending look. He spared not a single glance at her during their engagement party five years ago, and he even slept with Tiffany on the day of their engagement! Why was he begging her so badly all of a sudden?
