Chapter 776: I Wanted What I Saw That Day
"I’ve never had a relationship where soone saw . I’ve never looked into soone’s eyes and realised that this person cared about . The real . Not the exalted image of
that the world plants in their head. But things are different with Jason. Right from the first day I t him, I could see how much he saw . He stared right through , and he saw
for who I was without any filters. That man made
feel things I’ve never thought were possible. I won’t lie to you... I wanted to steal him from you. I wanted to possess him and have him look at
and only . I wanted to remove every other woman from his life and spend the rest of my days with him. But that isn’t possible because he loves you!
"Every ti I looked in his eyes, I could see how much he adored your very existence! He speaks about you like you are the oxygen he breathes! Like you’re the sun that shines on him! I saw that look in his eyes, and I was so jealous of you in that mont it nearly tore
apart! I knew in that mont that it wouldn’t be possible to make him look at
alone! So I thought that even if it was only a fraction. Even if I could have just a share of that adoration directed at , it would be enough. W-When we were together this past week, I saw what it would be like to be with Jason. I saw how colourful and fun life would be. The smiles, the jokes, and the sheer happiness that I felt are beyond what I can describe! Jason didn’t even bed , and yet I feel like I am more complete than I have ever been! I... I don’t want to lose this! I don’t want to lose him! So please, Gina. Please! If you have any space in your heart for . I know you and I haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, but I’m willing to change. No, I know I can change. I’m letting go of my pride and ego, and I’m coming to you like a fellow woman! Please, just give
a chance."
Soti in the middle of her monologue, Hesabeth felt a wetness gathering in her eyes, and Hesabeth couldn’t believe it when she started crying. Was this how much she really wanted this? Even Hesabeth was shocked. In truth, Hesabeth had never explored the true extent of her own emotions before! Hesabeth had always kept her cool and calm facade, and there was never any reason for her to dive deep into her own heart to figure out what she truly wanted! So no one was more shocked than Hesabeth to see just how much emotion ca pouring out of her when she finally opened her heart! It felt like soone had tied a rope around her heart, and the more she talked, the tighter the rope squeezed her! Hesabeth sniffled as she struggled to clean her tears soti in the middle of the monologue, and she grit her teeth and forced herself to finish what she had been saying! Hesabeth couldn’t stop! Not when she had finally started to open up her heart like this! This was the first ti in Hesabeth’s life where she would be allowing herself to show so much emotion, and Hesabeth was shocked by how much Jason had changed her in that mont! Hesbaeth knew right then that if Gina refused to accept her, then there would be no more chances for her! This was Hesabeth’s one chance to be with soone that she truly loved with all her heart, and Hesabeth refused to let it go!
Hesbaeth’s head was bowed, and she was trying and failing to stop herself from crying, and Gina could literally feel the sincerity pouring out of Hesabeth. Gina never really knew how to think about Hesbaeth in the past. The first ti Gina t Hesabeth, Hesabeth’s Bias had influenced Gina, and that made Gina like Hesabeth at first. But as ti passed and Gina saw just how much interest Hesabeth was showing in Jason, the Bias had less and less of an effect on Gina, and Gina could feel a feeling of annoyance towards Hesbaeth. It wasn’t until the conversation that they had through the crystal ball that Gina finally felt her first surge of anger towards Hesabeth. But that conversation alone wasn’t enough to make Gina hate Hesabeth, since Gina knew that Hesabeth had only been trying to look out for Jason. Gina let out a small sigh as she saw Hesabeth struggling to clean her tears, and Gina walked over to Hesabeth and pulled her into a kind hug. Hesbaeth stiffened in shock as she felt the hug, but Hesabeth managed to prevent her Bias from flaring to life, and she hesitantly wrapped her arms around Gina and returned the hug.
The two won stayed like this for a few minutes, and Hesabeth pressed her teary face into Gina’s shoulder affectionately. Although Hesbaeth was the older one between them, and she also had far more experience in life, there was just sothing about Gina’s deanor and personality that made it easy for people to put their trust in her. Talking to Gina was like talking to a friend, a mother, and a sister all at once, and Hesbaeth felt her walls breaking easily in front of her! After a while, Gina finally pulled back and allowed Hesabeth to stand on her own, and Hesabeth quickly took out a cloth to clean her eyes. Hesbaeth’s face was still as elegant and beautiful as ever, even though she had just finished crying, and Gina couldn’t believe Hesbaeth’s makeup wasn’t even smudged by her tears.
Hesabeth organised herself properly as she got rid of any evidence that she had even been crying, and Gina smiled as Hesabeth looked up at her and waited for an answer. Hesabeth put on a strong front, but Gina could see the desperation in her eyes, and Gina spoke in a calm voice:
"I’m glad you finally opened up to , Hesabeth. I can tell you truly love Jason. You know, if you were this open with your emotions more often, I’m sure you’d be a lot more popular."
Hesabeth squeezed her mouth slightly, and she turned away with a frown. The only reason Hesabeth had been this open with Gina was because Hesabeth knew this was the only way she could make sure Gina understood her. Hesabeth couldn’t even think about being this open with the re peasants that surround her on a daily basis! But even though Hesabeth looked like she was frowning, Gina could see a small redness on Hesbaeth’s cheeks that showed she was embarrassed by what she had done. Gina’s smile widened, and she finally sighed as she said.
"Fine... You know, I still don’t know if we’ll get along at all. Your ego and my short temper don’t really mix too well. But you said you’re willing to change, and I think I’m willing to be a little more tolerant to accommodate you as well. So, as long as Jason is okay with it, and you promise not to use your Bias to influence anyone in the family to do what you want, then I’m willing to accept you into the family, Hesbaeth."
Hesabeth’s eyes widened, and her head snapped to see Gina giving her a kind smile. It was like a new wave of emotions suddenly ca over Hesabeth at that mont, and Hesbaeth felt her lips trembling open into an impossibly wide smile that she couldn’t control! Tears gathered in Hesabeth’s eyes once again, and Hesabeth imdiately charged forward and grabbed Gina into another deep hug! Hesabeth pressed her face into Gina’s shoulder and spoke in a soft, emotional whisper.
"Thank you, Gina."
It was just three words, but those three words sohow managed to show the sheer depth of emotion Hesabeth was feeling at that mont, and Gina just humd happily as she returned Hesabeth’s hug.
