Chapter 226 I Do Not Mind Chap
After Jacquelyn finished speaking, she looked at the man in front of her.
His facial features were profound, and his handsome contours appeared even more distinct and
smooth under the light. He was as flawless as an ancient Greek sculpture, exuding an air of confidence
and charisma that made it impossible to look away.
Indeed, Jacquelyn, as the heiress of an aristocratic family, has seen many men both at home and
abroad.
But someone like Gavyn, who excels in both temperament and ability, is truly a rare gem, one in a
million.
Gavyn didn’t give a clear answer, his gaze briefly sweeping over Jacquelyn. His deep, ink-like eyes
revealed no hint of emotion, and his tone remained steady and even.
“Do you mind that I’ve been married before?”
“What’s there to worry about? I know you have an ex-wife; Mrs. Delacruz already told me.”
Gavyn raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue speaking.
Jacquelyn covered her mouth with a smile, elegant and poised, “Isn’t this something everyone. knows?
I heard that you were wronged in your previous marriage. Your ex-wife… perhaps it’s because she
grew up in a poor environment, her appearance wasn’t quite presentable, and her education and
abilities were not up to par.
As a wife, I believe I am quite presentable.”
Jacquelyn casually brushed her hair back and said, “I completed my Master’s degree ahead of
schedule and have won numerous awards from international foundations. My hobbies include flower
arranging and painting, and I’ve even won national competitions. If there’s ever a need to organize a
banquet, I’d be happy to showcase my skills.”
Gavyn listened expressionlessly, feeling completely indifferent inside.
The woman appeared gentle and amiable, speaking with seemingly soft words. However, she was
actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing, with each word implying that your ex-wife is nothing compared to
me.
The reality is, Aylin, as the daughter of the Koch family, grew up surrounded by love and privilege. With
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta strong and prosperous background, she was truly one of a kind in New York.
In terms of appearance, she’s definitely among the top in New York.
What use are illustrations and paintings? When it comes to talent, Aylin took over the Koch Group at a
young age and has managed it flawlessly, even leading the company to greater heights.
Gavyn subconsciously compared Jacquelyn to Aylin, only to find that the woman before him couldn’t
measure up to Aylin in any way.
Even he himself didn’t realize that he had already acknowledged and started listing the various merits
of Aylin, which he had never paid attention to before.
Gavyn’s face remained calm, “Oh, really? Well, you’re pretty good then.”
Even a deaf person could tell that this praise isn’t genuine.
Jacquelyn’s heart skipped a beat.
Today, her outfit was meticulously chosen yet effortlessly stylish. The form-fitting dress was made of
soft fabric, accentuating her graceful figure without being overly revealing. The understated color of her
cardigan made her skin appear fairer, and she believed it complemented her rosy complexion and
porcelain skin.
With the words she had carefully prepared at home, if it were in the past, those men would have
already started praising her for her elegant demeanor, gentle and intellectual manner.
Why is Gavyn so indifferent?
Jacquelyn’s eyes shifted slightly, as if she had thought of something. She sat up straight and said, “I
know, Mr. Delacruz has someone on his mind that he can’t let go of. It’s Ms. Laila Marsh, right?
I also know that she once saved your life.”
These long-held secrets were not something he would casually mention to others. It was only then. that
Gavyn’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his usually calm face finally showed a hint of change.
He looked at Jacquelyn with a scrutinizing gaze and spoke coldly, “You seem to know quite a bit.”
Jacquelyn laughed innocently, “Don’t worry, it wasn’t Mrs. Delacruz who told me. It’s just a coincidence
that Laila and I were high school classmates, and I happened to hear about her saving you.”
Gavyn frowned, recalling that memory.
Ten years ago, when he was still a child, he accidentally encountered a fire during a visit to an art
gallery. The thick smoke nearly made him lose consciousness, and for a brief moment, he lost his
ability to see. His elbow was also burned in the incident.
Just when he thought he was going to die, he met a girl who was about the same age as him.
The girl held his hand, her voice melodious and soothing like a mountain spring, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll
save you.”
He and she were strangers, but her gentle yet powerful voice was deeply etched into his heart.
Exhausted beyond measure, he managed to say, “I will definitely repay you,” before losing
consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself outside the venue. The girl in front of him, who was about
the same age as him, gave him a reassuring smile and said her name was Laila Marsh.
That pure and beautiful smile, the gratitude towards the life-saving benefactor, and Gavyn had never
forgotten.
He could tolerate Laila up until now, and it was for this very reason.
At the moment when he felt most vulnerable and helpless, thinking that his life was about to end,
everyone was running out. But there was one skinny girl who, without hesitation, carried him on her
back and walked out of the fire.
That kind of emotion is unforgettable for a lifetime.
Withdrawing slightly from his memories, Gavyn half-closed his eyes and said softly, “So, are you here
today to plead on Laila’s behalf?”
Although he was grateful for Laila’s kindness and truly wanted to repay her, her constant deception and
betrayal had become unbearable for him. Moreover, she always used her kindness as a means to
manipulate him, never being satisfied and never showing any remorse.
Gavyn is willing to repay the kindness, but he’s getting a bit fed up.
“Well, I wouldn’t interfere in your affairs,”
Jacquelyn shook her head with a knowing smile and said, “I’m just reflecting on the passage time. Back
then, we all envied Laila, thinking that you two would grow old together. Who would have thought that
you wouldn’t end up together after all? It’s quite a pity when you think about it.”
After she finished speaking, she subtly glanced at Gavyn with her peripheral vision, quietly capturing
every subtle change in his expression.
Upon hearing this, Gavyn’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said coldly, “I only feel gratitude towards her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRepay… kindness?
Jacquelyn’s eyes sparkled for a moment before quickly returning to normal. She laughed lightly and
said, “It seems that Mr. Delacruz is still a responsible and good man. It’s hard to find someone with
such a strong sense of responsibility these days. To repay a favor, he’s willing to marry Laila, and after
all that has happened, he’s still willing to let her be his secretary.
Mr. Delacruz’s breadth of mind is even more expansive than I had imagined.”
Beautiful words were spoken eloquently, but not a single word entered Gavyn’s ears.
He was already feeling agitated and didn’t want to listen to Jacquelyn’s insincere pleasantries. He
immediately stood up and said, “Thank you for your kind words, Ms. Wescott, but I cannot agree with
your proposal.
I won’t get married just to please my parents. It’s unfair for a woman to do that.”
As he said this, he paused inexplicably, as if something had just occurred to him.
However, Jacquelyn couldn’t decipher his complex emotions in that fleeting moment.
“I have other matters to attend to, Ms. Wescott. Please, make yourself at home.”
With an indifferent farewell, Gavyn left without looking back.
Jacquelyn watched him walk away, her heart suddenly trembling. Half of it was because the man. said
he only owed Laila a life-saving favor, and the other half was because of his words, “It’s not fair for a
woman.”
Surprisingly, Gavyn, a scion from a prestigious family who has been raised in luxury, could actually
empathize with the difficulties women face.
You should know that when other men hear her speak like this, they treat her as a confidante and can’t
wait to marry her and take her home. Even if it’s not true love, having a perceptive and beautiful woman
who can handle both household and social affairs is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?
Hearing Gavyn’s words, it was the first time she had ever heard them.
Not only is he handsome and deeply loyal, but his moral values are also beyond reproach.
Jacquelyn watched the man disappear from her sight, a barely perceptible trace of jealousy flickering in
her eyes as she pursed her lips.
How did such a great man end up with Laila?
She couldn’t help but think.
If the truth about Laila’s life-saving benefactor were to be revealed, what kind of person would this man
be?
