You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 815: Chapter 815: So Embarrassed

Norman closed his eyes painfully, immersing himself into the darkness. He had been used to the loneliness, darkness, and pain. He was so familiar with this. He thought he could handle this because he had been standing this for many years. However, at the moment, he suddenly broke down.

He felt so empty at the bottom of the heart.

Before meeting with Brittany, he always knew what he wanted. He always fought for something, for his family, for Arther and for something else. He knew he should move forwards bravely.

When he didn’t fight for these and started to fight for himself, he lost his direction. He was no longer calm and determined.

He ran without a direction.

It was the first time for him to lose.

So embarrassed.

"Norman, apart from being a soldier, what else could you do? You are not a qualified brother. You are not a qualified grandson. You are not able to be a good husband. You have nothing to make a girl happy. You have no capability to give a girl a happy family. Don���t ever dream of it."

He laughed at himself.

When Brittany arrived at home, it was one o’clock and a half. She didn’t want to wake up with her family. Therefore, she only turned on the light in the foyer and carefully changed her shoes and clothes. Then she stepped into the house in silence. To her surprise, the light in the living room was turned on suddenly.

As the light poured into the foyer, she saw a man standing at the door.

It was Adam.

He looked so calm. His eyes were deep and cold. Brittany knew he was angry now.

Adam had always tolerated her, no matter what she’s done to him. He seldom got angry. But this time, he got really angry with her.

"Still awake?" Brittany said in an indifferent voice. She wanted to talk to him in a calm way.

"Where have you been? Where have you been? It is too late now. Why didn’t you answer my phone? Do you have any idea how I worried about you?"

He questioned her in an angry voice.

"Sorry. Some accidents. I went to the hospital to visit my friend. It is too late now. What about talking tomorrow? You need to go to bed now."

She pressed her lips and analyzed. It was not the right time for them to have a good conversation. They should change the time.

However, as she turned around, Adam grabbed her hands suddenly.

He dragged him back so suddenly that she almost fell down on the ground.

"Tell me whether you visited Norman? Are you betraying me?"

"Yes. I visited Norman," Brittany didn’t think she had to lie to Adam. Besides, she was not good at lying.

Hearing such a direct answer without any covering, he got so mad that he immediately shook him off.

She didn’t expect this at all. As he shook her off, she was thrown towards the wall. Her head was hit on the wall.

"Uh..."

She felt so painful that she screamed out.

Hearing her groaning, Adam immediately rushed to her to hold her body.

"Sorry....sorry. I didn’t mean it. I am just so angry. I couldn’t control myself. Sit down. Let me apply for some medicine on the wound."

Adam kept apologizing to her, like a little kid making a big mistake. When he wanted to look for the aid kit, Brittany grabbed his hands slightly.

"Adam...I could not forget him. I am still in love with him. What could I do now?"

Brittany said in a painful voice. She really couldn’t stand continuing lying to herself.

Brittany kept persuading herself before. But she failed. She couldn’t even lie to herself, not to mention lying to others.

Hearing these words, Adam froze. At the moment, he looked so vulnerable.

He turned around and forced an unnatural smile towards Brittany.

"I don’t think it matters. You can forget him one day, as long as I am here with you. Let’s get married directly, okay? We don’t need to hold any engagement party,"

"Adam, sorry."

Brittany didn’t dare to look into his eyes. But she knew his eyes were shocked and heart-broken now.

She thought she was such a bitch. She lied to Adam for such a long time. And she betrayed Norman’s love for her.

She was such a clever woman. Why did she keep making mistakes when it came to a romantic relationship?

She couldn’t even forgive herself.

"Brittany, I feel sick. I need to take a rest now. You need to take some rest too. Let’s talk about this tomorrow, okay?"

Adam didn’t want to face this right now. He said in a trembling voice.

What Brittany said really hurt him.

Before she said these words, he thought he was the happiest man in the world. The girl he loves for such a long time agreed to get married to him. However, at the moment, he thought he was the most embarrassed man in the world. Though he wanted to lie to himself stupidly, Brittany didn’t give him any chance anymore.

Staring at his tumbling back, Brittany’s eyes turned red.

She wanted to burst into tears. She really wanted to cry out.

She crouched herself into the sofa and held herself in her arms tightly. Tears poured out from her eyes.

She returned back to her room and took a shower. Then she lay on the bed, closing her eyes. But she could not fall asleep.

At the moment, she heard the door was opened. It was Adam.

He stepped towards her bed, slowly and heavily.

Then, he put something down on the bed stand. She felt coldness on her forehead.

He was applying for the medicine on her forehead.

Brittany’s heart started trembling. She thought she was such an asshole. She should not have accepted Adam’s proposal.

He’s been looking after her for many years, as her own brother.

But she.... hurt him without any mercy.

She didn’t dare to open her eyes. She was afraid that she would break the peace at the moment.

After he applied for the medicine on her forehead, she didn’t feel so much pain anymore.

Then, Adam sat beside the bed and grabbed her hands slightly. Then he said in a soft voice, "Brittany, I really want to take care of you forever. Do you remember the day when I came here? I saw you walking downstairs, step by step. You wore gorgeous clothes. You looked fabulous, like a blooming rose. I would never forget the smile on your face at that moment. From then on, I swear to god that I would protect you forever."

"Actually, I hate to be your brother. I want to stand on your side to protect you. But....I am too weak. But you are too stunning. Maybe you are too good to get married to me..."

He gathered all courage to say these words out. His voice sounded really heavy. His words kept hitting on her heart. She felt so depressed. freewebnøvel.com

What did he do?

She felt Adam was fixing his eyes on her.

Adam stared at her for a while. And then Brittany felt her breath approached more and more closely. She immediately got nervous.

What was he doing at the moment?

Her heart beating got faster and faster.

Finally, Adam’s lips fell on her forehead. Brittany took relief.

She suddenly realized...

She could not let others kiss her anymore. Only Norman could kiss her now.

Adam’s kiss lasted a long time. Then he stood up, turn around, and left.

At the moment he closed the door, Brittany opened her eyes slowly. She felt so sad.

She touched her forehead and then closed her eyes painfully. She couldn’t fall asleep tonight.

Brittany didn’t sleep for a second. When it was bright outside, she opened her eyes.

She got up. Unexpectedly, she saw a piece of paper on the bed stand.

Did Adam leave this here?

The light was turned off last night. She didn’t know.

But she had a bad feeling.
