<h4>Chapter 1946: Chapter 1940: Ashton Heath, I Hate You!</h4>


    "So it’s really true." Even though Reba Kelloway already knew the answer, she still felt heartbroken upon hearing him say it, "You did this for Joanna Lawrence, didn’t you? To make her feel at ease, and to get me married off as soon as possible?"


    As she spoke, she let out a self-deprecatingugh, "You treat her so kindly, but your cruelty towards me is real. Ashton Heath, there’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask you. In the twenty-plus years that we’ve known each other, have you ever had even a fleeting moment of affection for me?"


    "Even if it was just for one second. Have you?"


    "No."


    Ashton Heath answered without any hesitation.


    Reba paused for a moment, and thenughed.


    However, her eyes were filled with nothing but sadness and mockery, "Never? You’ve never liked me? Ashton Heath, do you know that I once wondered whether you had a heart, or if you even knew how to like someone?"


    "Will you ever be able to like someone in your life?"


    "Ha, but you treat Joanna so well. So, it is just that you don’t like me."


    "That’s why, even after chasing you for more than twenty years, I couldn’tpare to Joanna, who had known you for less than a month. I used to be unwilling to ept it, but now I’ve figured it out. Ashton Heath, I won’t like you anymore. You’re not worth all that I’ve given."


    She said so much, but all Ashton Heath did was give her a cold nce, his face void of any emotion.


    Disying just how indifferent he was towards her.


    Looking at his cold demeanor, Reba felt more and more like she was a joke in her past.


    Why did she fall in love with such a heartless and ungrateful man?


    And loved him for so many years.


    In his eyes, all her effort and devotion might have been just a joke.


    She couldn’t help but let out a bitterugh.


    "Ashton Heath, you’re really ruthless." Reba’s eyes were filled with sorrow, and hate seeped through her gaze, "Now I understand that you’re not worth my love. How stupid was I to waste more than twenty years on a heartless man like you."


    "I won’t be that foolish again. Never again!"


    "Ashton Heath, I hate you!"


    Her emotions were a little out of control.


    After so many years of giving her all, he didn’t care at all.


    Not only did she receive no reward for her devotion, but the man she had loved for so many years was trying to push her into the fire pit.


    She really hated him.


    How could he be so cruel?


    Ashton Heath still showed no reaction, not even ncing at her this time.


    This only made Reba’s heart sink further.


    "Ashton Heath, you injure others’ feelings and treat their affection towards you as dirt. People like you who tread on others’ emotions won’t ever find true happiness. Do you think you and Joanna can be happy together forever? I’m telling you, it’s impossible."


    Reba’s emotions were out of control, her voiceing out hoarse in an exhausted rasp.


    Ashton Heath was absorbed in the magazine in his hands.


    Upon hearing her, he looked up.


    In that moment as their eyes met, Reba suddenly shivered.


    It was as if a chill had burrowed into her body, spreading rapidly to her every limb, and she could feel the cold sharpness invading every part of her body.
