Chapter 27

作者: Ganna
Tess paused, surprised that Beckett seemed to know how long she'd been living in Willowmere.

On second thought, she decided it wasn't that strange. The fact that he loved her cooking so much was far more surprising.

"Actually, I haven't been here all that long," she said with a gentle smile. "Besides, even if I'd spent half my life here, I'd still leave with Theo if he wanted to move.

"You probably don't know this, but I was seriously ill about a year ago. When I woke up, I couldn't remember any

  • The Man Who Loved Me All Along   Chapter 41

    The weight that had been hanging over Theodore's heart finally lifted. Understanding what Tess meant, he gently stroked her hair."I understand," he said softly."Everyone needs a chance to say a proper goodbye."Tess, it's time to say goodbye to those ten years of your life."Then she could finally begin a new life.Tess trembled, and tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.How lucky she was to have met Theodore. Finding him must have used up a lifetime's worth of luck.Even after Beckett was out of danger, he still hadn't regained consciousness.The doctors said there was a strong chance he'd remain in a vegetative state.Every day, Tess and Theodore visited him at the hospital.She talked to him about all sorts of things.Sometimes she reminisced about the past.Sometimes she scolded him for everything he'd done.And sometimes she told him she really was leaving."Beckett, please wake up. I want to leave. Please, just let me go."Whether Beckett lived or died had nothing to do with her

    Tess stared in shock. It took her a moment to come to her senses before she rushed toward Beckett, who lay on the pavement."Tess..." Beckett slowly reached out a bloodied hand, wanting to touch her face. But even the slightest movement sent excruciating pain through him."Beckett, have you lost your mind?"She shouted at him, but Beckett felt strangely content, almost as though she'd just praised him."Tess, don't cry. If I die saving you, I'll die happy. I couldn't ask for more.""Who asked you to die for me? Beckett, you owe me so much! You think giving up your life will make us even? Not a chance!""You're right. I owe you more than I could ever repay."The light in Beckett's pain-filled eyes faded, and his voice grew weaker."I can't make up for what I've done in this lifetime. Tess, would you let me make it up to you in the next?"In his next life, he'd protect her with everything he had.He'd treat her right, love her the way she deserved, and never let her suffer the slightest

    Rosalie continued, "You once said your biggest dream was to travel the world with the person you loved most. So for the past year, Mr. Lockridge put aside all his responsibilities at the Lockridge Group and traveled around the world with your urn, as if you were still alive."Miss Wrenford, he really does love you. I once overheard him talking to your body. He said he'd never loved Josephine. He'd mistaken her for you. He'd loved you, and only you, all along."Everyone knew how deeply Tessa had loved Beckett.But only Beckett knew how much he'd loved her.For ten long years, he'd kept it hidden in his heart like a secret.Tess had always believed Beckett had never loved her. Yet Rosalie claimed she'd been the only woman he'd ever loved.She'd always thought he'd be glad she was dead. But according to Rosalie, he'd nearly lost his mind and spent an entire year clutching her urn."Miss Wrenford, he really loves you. Ever since he found out you were leaving Willowmere, he's been drinking

    "I'm fine." Theodore had only suffered a minor injury, but Tess was beside herself with worry. He quickly tried to reassure her. "Don't worry. Let's go home. You can put some ointment on it when we get there.""Don't lie to me. Are you sure you're not hurt anywhere?" Tess was so anxious she was on the verge of tears. "Do you have any idea how scared I was?"Beckett's eyes widened at her words, his heart aching as though it were breaking all over again."I'm really fine," Theodore assured her.He kept comforting Tess until she was finally convinced he wasn't seriously hurt. Then they left with their arms around each other.Not once did Tess look back at Beckett.But she knew that shortly after Theodore drove off, Beckett got into his own car and followed close behind them.When Theodore pulled up outside Tidecrest Estate, Beckett stopped nearby.He didn't get out. He simply rolled down his window and watched her from a distance.Tess ignored him and helped Theodore inside.Ollie was alr

    Back in the private dining room, Theodore stared coldly at the man lying on the floor, still bleeding."If I remember correctly, you're from the Prescott family, aren't you? You'd better watch your mouth. You have no right to talk about my woman that way.""Dr. Westcott, I was wrong! I'm so sorry!"The man clutched Theodore's pant leg, desperately begging for mercy. He'd never imagined that a woman like her could have two men as powerful as Beckett and Theodore standing up for her."I never accept apologies," Theodore said coldly. "Besides, I'm not the one you owe an apology to."He turned to the others. "Someone, deal with him."Theodore pulled his leg free, ignoring the man's desperate pleas. Then he wrapped an arm around Tess and led her out of the room.Tess was his. If anyone was going to teach that bastard a lesson, it should've been him. Why should he let Beckett do it?What a joke.After all the pain Beckett had caused her, what right did he have to come back now and try to ste

    The man's words set off another round of laughter and teasing.Everyone was joking about how much Tess cared for Theodore and how lucky he was to have such a wonderful woman by his side. Beneath the teasing, there was genuine envy.Then someone spoke up in a low voice."Wasn't Tessa Wrenford with Mr. Lockridge before? I heard she was practically obsessed with him. So how'd she end up with Dr. Westcott? Sounds like she gets around."The man hadn't spoken loudly, yet somehow, everyone in the room heard him.The laughter died instantly.In the sudden silence, someone's breathing grew heavier by the second.Everyone turned toward the same corner of the couch.Tess froze. She slowly lifted her head from Theodore's chest, one terrifying thought drowning out everything else.Beckett was here, too!Of all the places to run into him!Bang!Beckett shot to his feet and kicked over the coffee table in front of him. Bottles crashed to the floor, shattering everywhere.The sudden outburst was terri
