BookToReadChapter 622:
Shaun seemed wounded by Tracy's words. He raised his voice, “I'm offering to take care of you for life. Isn't that
love? | can give you everything you desire. How is that not love?”
Tracy remained composed.
“Have you ever really paid attention to me? Sat down and listened to my past, my struggles, my regrets, and my
dissatisfaction? You have never done that. How can you call it love? It's more like you're keeping a pet. I'm
supposed to be good, stay at hwaiting for you.
When you're pleased, you lavishwith expensive treats. And when you're upset, | bear the brunt of your
frustrations. | becnothing more than an object to satisfy your needs.”
After delivering her thoughts in one breath, Tracy paused, her gaze fixed on Shaun. “Am I right?” she asked
softly.
Shaun fell silent.

Elyse glanced at Jayden with a complex expression, noting the similarities between him and Shaun, though they
both seemed unaware of what love truly meant.
Turning back to Tracy, Elyse sensed her near breaking point. “You should go, Shaun. Tracy needs rest, and your
presence isn’t helping,” she told him firmly.
Shaun remained motionless, reluctant to leave.
Elyse continued, exasperated, “What good does staying here do? Can you reverse the harm you've caused by
simply being here? She doesn’t want to see you right now. Just leave her be.”

At Elyse’s insistence, Shaun finally agreed to leave. As he moved towards the exit, he shot a look at Jayden, who
had been quietly observing the scene. With a steely gaze, Shaun commanded, “Cand walkout.”
Jayden, pointing to himself, replied with a wry smile, “You wantto walk you out?”
Shaun’s expression darkened further. “Then perhaps your wife should do it?”
Jayden’s expression hardened. Without a word, he strode over and shoved Shaun forcefully.
Caught off guard, Shaun stumbled but managed to steady himself just shy of hitting the floor. With a final look at
Tracy, he left the villa with evident reluctance.
Elyse breathed a sigh of relief as Shaun departed. She linked arms with Tracy, and they returned to her room.
Once inside, Elyse closed the door softly behind them and sat down beside Tracy. “Do you still have feelings for
Shaun? It seems like you can’t completely let him go.”
Tracy looked down, her hands clasped in her lap. “What makes you think that? | don’t feel anything for him
anymore.”
Elyse leaned against Tracy, her gaze distant. “I just have a feeling,” she murmured.
“That's not a reason. You're mistaken,” Tracy countered quickly.
Elyse smiled slightly. “If you truly had no feelings left for Shaun, why do his words still sting? It's because you
care. You don’t want to be seen as someone unpleasant in his eyes.”
Tracy's tone was somber. “That's not a good enough reason. | felt humiliated, that’s all. It wasn’t about caring
how he looked at me.”

Elyse paused before continuing softly, “Yet you still try to teach him about love. You know he doesn’t understand
it, but you want him to learn what true love is. If you didn’t care at all, why bother? Why not find someone who
already knows how to love and understand you? It’s clear that you want him to understand because you still love
him.”
Tracy remained silent, the room steeped in quietude. After a long pause, frustration tinged her voice. “I still hold
hope for someone like him. Maybe I'm more foolish than he is.”
Surprised, Elyse asked, “Why would you say that?”
With a sad raise of her voice, Tracy lamented, “I'm trying to reform a jerk. | must be the most foolish woman
alive.”
Elyse blinked, slowly grasping Tracy's turmoil. “You think Shaun isn’t worthy of love, yet you can’t let him go. You
fall for someone who's hurt you, and that makes you feel ashamed, right?”
Tracy responded sharply, “Isn't it shameful? Who loves someone who causes them pain?”
Elyse reached out and gently patted Tracy's back. “But you fell for Shaun long before all of this, right? You
pursued him throughout college for four years.”
Tracy paused, taken aback as memories she had long ignored began to resurface.
