Bella Woods' words left Oliver Hughes stunned.
Bella continued, "I don't love you. This marriage arrangement was just something organized by our families. For four years, I've only felt gratitude towards you, not love."
"You..." Oliver couldn't believe it, "Impossible, for four years, you've been by my side every day, no matter what I did, you were there. Isn't that love? How could you do all that otherwise?"
"It's just my nature. Initially, I didn't know what being treated well meant. Since you were kind to me, I naïvely indulged you in everything because I couldn't tell the difference," Bella explained.
"No, you..."
"But now I understand." As Bella said this, she glanced towards Ashton Marshall.
But it was only a glance, and she immediately looked away.
Earlier, she had stolen countless glances at Ashton Marshall, always feeling a sense of security.
