Chapter 1460: If the Ending Isn’t Having You, I’d Rather Be Heartless and Unfeeling

Langdon Seal faces the wrathful Jose Floyd, unable to respond, knowing this was Mom’s mistake, and Jose should rightfully blame her.

Jose Floyd bends his tall frame and picks up the Small Purple Leaf Sandalwood beads scattered on the ground, his expression silent and cold.

Jorge Saxton sends a signal to Langdon Seal, and the two quietly leave Jose Floyd’s room.

Meanwhile, Jose Floyd bends down to pick up the beads from the floor, and with each one he picks, he cannot help but hoarsely murmur, "Nicole, I’m sorry... Nicole, come back to settle the score, I will do anything you say."

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning in her words when she was gravely injured.

She said, "Jose Floyd, I have no hatred towards you anymore... Jose Floyd, I actually guessed it wasn’t you..."

She said, "Jose Floyd, stop investigating the past..."

Jose Floyd’s thin lips press tightly, his voice nearly choked into silence, "Nicole, did you ask about saffron because you thought I was giving it to you, wanting to take away the child between us? ... Or did Olivia Summer or Andrea Greenwood say something to you, making you think I didn’t want the child between us?"

"Nicole, do you even know, if the child was mine and yours, I would be happier than having a treasured possession, that’s a treasure I can’t exchange for anything."

"You said for me to stop investigating the past, is it because you knew when I found out the truth, I would feel that I was so incredibly foolish? You tell me to stop because you knew I would feel guilty and remorseful..."

"Nicole, you said it right, I now wish I could kill myself... Facing someone like you, I only gave you arrogance and force repeatedly."

"Now I understand how to love, I know those truths, but where can I find you..."

Jose Floyd picks up the beads from the floor, murmuring hoarsely and chokingly, his face cold as frost glistening with tears.

Jose Floyd gathers the beads in his palm, "Nicole, you don’t need to exchange your life for my safety, come back to me..."

"Nicole, Arlo Seys married his first love, Ariel Morris; even after eight years apart, they came together. We’ve spent all these years together too, when are you going to marry me?"

"You said you wanted to see me stumble, to see which woman would capture me, to see who has the charm to teach the cold and ruthless me to love... Nicole, congratulations, it’s you."

"Now I’ve fallen, come back and look at my sorry state, come back to mock me for a couple of sentences..."

"You haven’t told me when you first fell in love with me, even before dying, you held your pride and refused to voice your feelings, saying just once: ’I’ve never liked you,’ Nicole, such a contradictory woman as you, aside from me, who would want you!"

"Nicole... I still have many riddles about you left unsolved, do you know that? But once I discovered the truth about the child, I am now too cowardly to seek those deeper truths for validation..."

"Nicole, I’m afraid those truths will turn into blades, stabbing straight into my heart, suffocating me to death."

"Because I realize that in this life, the only person Jose Floyd owes is Nicole! Two children, a life exchanged for protection, Nicole, how can you expect me to forget all of that?"

"If the ending doesn’t have you, I’d rather be a heartless, emotionless person... not submerged in pain..."

Jose Floyd remains in the room, clutching the bracelet gifted to him by Nicole. Those already scattered beads in his palm are dampened by the tears slipping down his face...
