Somehow, her heart ached.
Gently, he removed her high-heeled shoes and quietly slipped the slippers onto her feet.
"Your feet are red.
Why don't you listen to me?" Arturo remarked.
Wearing high heels for an extended period had been uncomfortable, but Selah hadn't cared until now.

Believe me.

In the past, when Arturo was cheerful, he'd treat Selah to candies, splurge on delightful toys, and even gift her fancy jewelry.
But when he was in a sour mood, he'd brush her aside and flirt with other girls right before her eyes.

Was this what Arturo considered affection? That was a joke.
Selah believed that only her former naive self could have been taken in by such a spineless man from the start. But now, she had awakened to reality.
"Selah, I admit I was wrong in the past.
I'm trying to change.
Trust me, I'll treat you right.
I mean it.
I'll marry you and make sure you marrywith dignity. The content iswith of novelenglish.net! "
