Addicted To Love - Chapter 313 Jonny Broke Her Heart
“Amelia, you’re so kind. I appreciate this, but I don’t need…” Claire quickly refused with a worried look on her face.
“Well, it’s still pretty early. I’ll help you find a place to stay.” Amelia previously had been in a similar situation, so she proposed the suggestion with enthusiasm.
After hesitating for quite a bit, Claire eventually agreed and nodded her head.
However, as she glared from aside, Lily seemed to be a bit more apprehensive. She looked at Claire with squinted eyes and thought that she may have evil intentions as she’d had before.
“Oh, Amelia. I envy the kind of love that you and Lucian have with each other,” Claire sighed on the passenger seat, as they were on the way to find a house.
Amelia smiled as she drove the car and said, “What is there to be envious of? We got married and had a child, just like every other couple out there.”
“At least the two of you are truly in love unlike my relationship with Jonny. From beginning to end, all I hoped was for him to love me back,” she said with a glint of sorrow in her tone, as if she was almost desperate to earn Jonny’s love.
When Amelia heard this from Claire, she felt slightly uncomfortable and unsure of what she had meant. After all, this was not the Jonny that she remembered.
However, moments later she recalled how he tore apart the letters that she and Lucian had been exchanging. She wondered if Jonny had been pretending to be kind just to gain Amelia’s trust and respect.
“Sometimes love is a funny thing. You can spend all your time loving someone who will never love you back. However, sometimes, the person who truly loves you, you can never love back.” Amelia did not know what to say to make her feel better. She did hope that Claire could realize that sacrificing for a man who didn’t love her back was both impractical and nonsensical.
“In fact, he had just been using me as leverage. He gave me a condition that was arranged with Mr. Lucian. He told me that if I am able to gain Lucian’s trust, he would marry me…”
Ame
tachments towards people. She could not just state something as if it were so simple.
Jonny was indeed a generous man, because when Amelia drove Claire back to where she lived, she discovered that the villa he offered her was located at one of the most affluent areas.
However, Claire did not want to live here mainly because of the luxurious villa, she was only here for the promise that Jonny had to her.
Jonny bought Claire a luxurious villa so that he could remove the guilt he had for not loving her. Amelia found it outrageous that he could think that Claire should simply be content with the little emotional affection he had to offer simply because he had gotten her a wonderful home.
She didn’t know much about Claire, but could clearly see how deeply-rooted her love for him was. It didn’t matter how much pain Jonny inflicted because her love was not something she could turn away from.
As she drove away from Claire’s home, she suddenly found herself in the exact same situation as she did the other night.
Although it was mid-afternoon, Amelia had sharp eyesight. With a glance, she could easily recognize who was inside the car that stopped right in front of hers.
This was already the second time he had fooled her into this same trick, so Amelia took this as an act of contempt.
The road could only accommodate one car, so it was impossible for Amelia to drive past his car.
It was very likely that Jonny had planned this on purpose. Amelia watched as the door of the car opened and Jonny stepped out to walk towards her.
The sun shone towards him brightly as he wore an exquisite suit. He had a big grin on his face that Amelia found particularly striking.
Despite this, when she reflected on what he had just done, she felt nothing but disgust towards him. Her eyes were brewing with loathing and the nerves on her face tightened.
“Amelia, what an amazing coincidence! We seem to run into each other everywhere!” Jonny said with a huge smile on his face as he tapped on the window of Amelia’s car.
