The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1426

"Young Madam fell in love with you at first sight?!" lan's eyes widened, his soul burning with curiosity.

Justin's gaze darkened as he poured himself a drink. The fragrant and mellow wine only left a bitter taste on his tongue.

"It's a pity that I can't redo my life and can't be the one who fell in love with Bella first. It will be my regret for life."

He had another regret, which was the biggest one.

It was the fact that he let Bella lose their precious child, whom she desired the most. Due to that incident, her chance to become a mother was slim.

Justin struggled to catch his breath, as if the air he drew into his lungs had become frosty knives. "I will give it my all to make her happy, but I don't know if I could do a good job..."

After all, something abstract like happiness could only be counted if the person involved felt satisfied.

"Mr. Salvador, you are truly... the most devoted man I've met. Among all the people I've encountered, you and Young Madam have the softest and kindest hearts."

When lan said this, Rachel's clear eyes, which always seemed on the verge of tears and never failed to distress him, surfaced in his mind. "Rather than making Young Madam happy, I hope you can soothe each other's souls. I also hope that you can have a taste of bliss too."

After all, before falling in love with Bella, Justin had no one except himself.

Justin's heart and body were worn out, and his soul was a barren land.

It was Bella who made beautiful roses bloom in Justin's barren soul.

Thinking of his little rose, Justin could not help but smile. "Don't worry about me. I'm already in a good place now. Being able to be by Bella's side and making her happy is the greatest blessing in my life." Then, he cleared his throat. "Enough about me. Let's talk about you. Do you really like Ms. Mead?"

"Yes... I think I'm catching feelings for her."

lan felt stifled in his chest, smiling in self-mockery. "Today is Ms. Mead's birthday. I brought flowers and a gift to meet her."

Justin raised his brows slightly.

The last time his secretary fell for someone was when he was studying at university, and it was an unrequited love for four years. Later, his crush graduated and married his senior, eventually having children. She had remarried three times, yet he was not even married once and was still a virgin.

In terms of pursuing a girl, it was lan's first time.

However, his crush this time was very unsuitable.

"She accepted the flowers but not the gift. She didn't accept my confession either."

lan's trembling hands grabbed his glass tightly, his heart contracting in pain. "Mr. Salvador, am I that bad? The first time I visited Ms. Mead, I even looked down on where she lived. I was prejudiced against her, thinking only materialistic girls would work at that kind of place.

"How could I think like that? What do I have? What makes me better than her..."

As lan spoke, strong emotions choked his throat, making him unable to speak for a while.

"It's only right that she doesn't accept me. I went overboard. I was too pathetic..."

Justin was shocked.

Although he saw through lan's thoughts, he did not expect lan's feelings to burn with passion silently, to the extent that he would really confess his admiration to Rachel.

In terms of his determination and courage in loving a person, Justin was far from lan.

Justin had actually taken the moral high ground, trying to sway his feelings.

What right did he have?

"No, lan. In my eyes, you were always an excellent secretary. I am where I am today because you were by my side."

lan's heart pounded, his eyes shining with excitement as he stammered, "M-Mr. Salvador... It's my duty to do so!"

"What I'm trying to tell you is that you are a good person. Don't belittle yourself."

Justin's gaze was low and restrained. He cared for lan like a doting father. "If you truly like Ms. Mead, go all out. But not now. At the very least, you can only pursue her after she's of age. For now, you can look after her silently, but don't disturb her studies. I think this is part of the reason she rejected you. A student should prioritize their studies."
