Chapter 372

---- Chapter 372 The bucket of water drenched Gideon from head to toe. He looked like a soaked rat. 'The household staff in the living room were stunned. They just stood there, staring blankly at the scene. After venting her anger, Giselle stood before him, brimming with fury. Her heart pounded violently, and her hands trembled slightly from the intensity of her emotions. Having been thoroughly drenched by her beating, Gideon remained frozen on the couch for several minutes. Gradually , much of the alcohol wore off, and his mind cleared considerably.

He paid no attention to the water dripping from his clothes and slumped back on the couch. He raised his head and said with a bitter smile, "That feels good..." He muttered to himself as if he had lost all reason, "I like it when you hit me like this and really teach me a proper lesson. Even if you beat me half to death, it's far better than listening to your stupid wishes for my happiness . Come on.

Hit me a few more times..." Once her emotions had settled slightly , Giselle coldly said, " Gideon, if you keep sinking into this self-destruction , all it will do is make me look down on you." He laughed bitterly. "What good does it do you if you despise ---- me? If you think highly of me, does that mean you get to come back to me?" Her chest tightened even more at his bitter words. She turned to her side, not wanting to meet his heated stare. After a long silence, her softening heart hardened again. "Gideon, you've known me for a long time.

You should know what kind of woman I am," she said, finally looking at him with a calm, unwavering expression. "Tam selfish and ruthless. I have a cruel heart and a wild nature. Ihave never put a man first in my life. Men have always been nothing more than tools for me," she admitted. "From the start with Donovan, and later with you, I admit I approached you all with a purpose. I schemed against him and even against you. Now I've chosen him and given up on you, but it was a calculated decision, not one based on feelings. "At my core, I'm selfish, shameless , and without emotion.

If you think your self-destruction and despair will make me feel guilty or regretful, you are mistaken. I have no heart. Whatever happens to you is your business, not mine." After saying those cruel words, Giselle had no intention of staying any longer. She simply turned to leave. Just as she took a few steps, Gideon suddenly leapt up and grabbed her arm. "Don't go." Giselle tried to push him away, but he yanked her into his embrace, holding her so tightly that she could not break free. ---- Clearly, her earlier cold and ruthless words had done nothing to break the hold she had on him.

Instead, Gideon seemed even more obsessed. He held her tightly, leaning close as he whispered deliriously in her ear, "Giselle, no matter what kind of woman you are, I want you to know that I will not let you go." "You're insane," Giselle said, struggling with all her strength. "Tam married now. Stop this. It's impossible." "It's not up to you," he said stubbornly, unsteady on his feet, soaked and smelling of alcohol. "I can't lie to myself. I can't let you go. "Teven want you to be unhappy. If Donovan ever hurts you, and one day you get divorced, know that I will always be right there.

I'll be waiting for the moment I can finally have you."
