Read Billionaire’s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 521 – Chapter 521 Winnie looked at Michael’s face and, without knowing why, spoke. There were still droplets of water on his features. Without his glasses, his brows and eyes looked so gentle it almost hurt to see them. Over the years, Winnie had seen countless men’s eyes, but only this pair-she felt she would never grow tired of them. “What way?” Michael asked seriously. Her heartbeat quickened. That way was… marriage. If she married Michael, she could leave the Olson family openly and legally, freed from the Olsons’ guardianship.

That was precisely why the Olson family had always gone to such lengths to sabotage her relationships and marriage prospects. Winnie thought it over and over again. In Goldmont, the only family the Olsons dared not act against recklessly was the Morrison family. Seen that way, Michael was an exceptionally good marriage candidate.

—- And that was exactly why, from a very young age, the Olson family had been wary of him They had planted a seed in her heart early on, making her believe that an heir like Michael could never stay by her side forever-that clinging to the Morrison family would only bring her humiliation. On the surface, Winnie seemed bold and sharp-tongued, but in truth, she was the most timid of all, especially when it came to love. If Michael had not treated her so well-if he had not given her even the slightest chance to develop real feelings for him- perhaps she would have been with him long ago.

 

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Michael waited for her answer. “Do you need my help? As long as you ask, I’ll do everything | can.” She believed him. If she opened her mouth now, even if she asked him for a sham marriage, he would agree. But his gaze was too gentle. The words that hovered on her tongue were swallowed back down. Their bond, built from childhood to now, was far sturdier than —- she had imagined. Time and again, Michael had charged forward for her sake, even knowing that the emptiness in her heart could never truly be filled-even when it left him covered in wounds.

Thinking of him, a wave of tenderness surged through her chest. She had always been reluctant to part with Michael. But it was not that kind of reluctance. Step forward, and she feared losing him. Step back, and she feared drifting too far away. Good was wrong. Bad was wrong. Having him close was wrong, Letting him go was wrong. She could not return his feelings, yet she could not bear to become his lover either-twisted and tangled until even she found it painful. So she understood very clearly: no matter how good Michael was, the one she cherished most was still herself.

She could not bear to let herself be hurt. But now, things were different. She wanted to be with Michael-not only to escape the Olson family, but because a feeling she had suppressed for too long was stirring again, beyond restraint. —- She knew this was not a moment of impulse. It was the first time she had ever wanted to be with someone, even if it meant getting hurt. Yet, as she looked at Michael’s gentle face, reason still outweighed emotion-just slightly. She could not help asking herself: was she really going to drag Michael down with her?

He could have a partner far better suited to him. With his character and integrity, he could live happily with anyone. Why should he burden himself for her sake-for old ties, for past promises, for a rescue that only brought him trouble? She could not bear for him to do that. And she could not bear for him to be hurt again because of her. “Winnie…” “Was the message Khloe sent me last time… true?” Michael froze. A moment later, he realized she meant the confession Khloe had sent on his behalf. But… Khloe had already withdrawn that message! Winnie had seen it anyway?

—- Heat rose to the tips of his ears. He quickly lowered his head, brushing the bridge of his nose with his fingers “Th+that was a misunderstanding. Khloe thought I… anyway, it was just a misunderstanding. Just pretend you never saw it.”
