Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Jeffrey had not been able to meet with Barbara, ever since he heard that Dante is married to his love, he was crazy for days, he can't seem to bring himself to accept what Dante told him, he want to hear from the horse's mouth.

He is losing him, so when Barbara place a call to him that she is available, he is excited to meet her and talk things out with her.

Hey Barbara

Jeffrey, how are you?

I am fine and you?

I am good, happy that father is save now.

That is good.

You disappeared on me, Peter said you are busy whenever I call, were you avoiding me?

No! How is Dante, is he giving you headache?

No, you have nothing to worry about him, he is acting nice this few days. Jeffery look at her, her face is radiating, he could see the way her face lightening up, as she talk about Dante.

Hm! You are really happy, with your new life.

I am not, I still have lot of things and you know, I need you but it seems you added me to your blacklist

You are married, so it's only normal for me to know my place, you no longer consider me as a friend. Jeffery voice is clear that he is mad at her

Who told you that? You are my friend and my brother, I can't pushed you away because I got married and to be sincere, I didn't get married to Dante because I really wanted to, father doesn't want to have his surgery and the only way he could, he asked me to get married to William but I pleaded with him to pick my own husband for the next forty-eight hours the truth is, I try to reach you but the thing is your number didn't go through, Li Jun was my last option, I practically forced him into marrying me, it's all because of dad surgery.

Barbara didn't say anything after the last word, she waited for Jeffrey to say something, but none came out of the man, who is staring at her blankly for sometime. He hated himself for always busy and making Peter's words came through, while he was busy making money, someone else is busy having his one true love.

When the food arrived, both of them start eating, Jeffery already know everything about Barbara and Dante Shotgun marriage from Kathleen, hearing it from Barbara mouth gave him little hope that, he might still have a chance with Barbara, so he is going to try his shot.

Can I asked you a question?

Barbara who was about forking her chicken paused and look at him, she wiped her lips with the napkin waiting for him to speak

From the look on his face Barbara could tell, its not going to be a very nice one, he is going to answer about Dante, it might not turn out well but she still want to give him a chance.

Sure, you can.

I know you are an adult now and it's not my business with what you do with your life... She furrowed her eyebrows.

Can you stop beating around the bush, just hit the nail on it's head. Barbara inner side yelled at Jeffrey, she really wants him to say what is on his mind.

Is Dante in love with you? She paused, then grabbed the fork and pick up the chicken on her plate, she chew and look at Jeffrey, the man is waiting for answer.

I don't know, I only know I love him, even though he is not in love with me, I am Married to him but I think he loves me. She blushed remembering their night of endless passion, she couldn't help but think of how Dante set her body on fire as he takes her innocent.

Did you already give him your body? Jeffery is bitter his tone is not friendly, now Barbara could clearly see that Dante is right, he is in love with her.

Why? He is my husband and it's only right we have each other body. Can you stop been annoying

I am sorry, Barbara, I have watch you grow, we have been friends like ages, I always wanted to be around you, that is the reason I pick your courses for you, I have watch you face so many challenges and yet pulled through it, you have been a fighter and I admire you for that, I am not good at words but the truth is, I love you, since we were babies.

Ghan! Ghan!

You have always be the girl I love, I wasn't able to fall in love because it's you always in my heart, I have love no other but you, I didn't tell you, because you were madly in love with Derrick, that good for nothing idiot, I try to bottle it up because your happiness is more important than mine...

I appreciate

He responded with a nodded then continue. Now that you and Derrick are no longer dating and your Marriage with Dante is all a make up one, I thought that I have a chance with you. Will you be my woman?

Have you ever kiss me before? Jeffrey look at her, then nodded, Barbara hated him that very moment, she felt stupid, how could he takes advantage of her, how could he fool her? All this times, he was only there because he love her?

Forgive me, I couldn't help falling for you, I love you, don't you love me? Barbara pick her things and was about leaving. Wait where are you going?

Home, my husband is waiting for me.

Barbara! You haven't answered me, if you...

No! I will not think over it, I can't love you, I will never love you. I don't fucking love you.

Barbara words were painful, she is sounding like it's impossible to love him, he is nice and have been caring for her, why can't she love him why would she never love him. He is not difficult to love, he is just selfish.

Do you think I will love you, after everything you did to me?

What?

Yes, you fucking gave that stupid tape to Derrick, you told him, I rented a boyfriend, you, it's you who gave every evidence about Dante's intention to hurt me and it's you who hacked my mail, I would had read everything but you deprive me of it, I know everything, you, Derrick and Claudia, you all gang up on me, Jeff, I was your friend, I love you like a brother, I cared about you, your happiness is my priority but I was nothing to you

You were everything to me, I love, fine forgive me, I did it because I love you, I can't watch him have you, I only wanted to separate you...

No, you wanted to humiliate me, you know that will break my heart but still you did it, you did it because you were selfish and only thinking about yourself.

Forgive me.

I don't want to see your face, go away,just leave because I will never love you, I can never love you...

Taking those words again, Jeffery heart burn, he grabbed her hand.

I try talking things out with you but you are stubborn, You will leave me no choice than to do what will favor me..
