All Chapters of Never End: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Dixon's eyes were fixed on me. I really couldn't understand why he was acting like this."Why is he pretending that he cares about me? We are divorced..."I pulled my hand out of his palm, trying to calm myself down. "I don't know what to tell you. Maybe I've always wanted love. Since I'm rich, it has just occurred to me that maybe I could buy love with the money I have. Anyway, it's not like I've never done something like this before."I paused for a second as I stared into his clear eyes, then went on to say, "I've traded the Shaw Corporations for our marriage. Now I'm just trading money for love.""Then, let's date."I was so surprised that I dropped my purse on the ground. "What did you say?""I'll date you and pretend to love you. I'll spoil you and cherish you as if you're the most precious thing in my life. I'll make you happy and do whatever you tell me to do. I will be your perfect boyfriend until the day of my wedding."His last words woke me up. It was nothing but a d

It had not snowed often in Wu City lately. Instead, it normally got rainy. I put my phone to my ear and heard Dixon's mild complaint. "It's just pouring outside. I got drenched. Won't you open the door for me?"When I listened to him carefully, I could hear that he sounded a little upset.I looked back around my room. "Why have you come to me?""Caroline, do you forget that I'm your boyfriend now?"So he did still remember this..."I thought you regretted it," said I."Why? Because I haven't called you?"I said yes in a low voice and sounded upset."Silly girl. Didn't I tell you that I'd be handling some company affairs? If there isn't anything important going on in the next few months in the company, I'll stay with you." Dixon paused and said in a gentle voice, "Even if I have to attend to something, I'll take you with me."His words made my heart melt, and he even called me girl. It was such an intimate form of address. I had always thought I was only a woman to keep him com

The phone call just took a few minutes.Dixon went out for a while, but when he came back, he looked worried.He looked at me helplessly.I asked him softly, "What happened?"He sighed and asked me instead, "I'll leave soon. You want to come with me?"I realized and asked him, "Is it because of Gwen Worth?"Dixon closed his eyes and said, "She got hurt in a car accident."I asked patiently, "So you're going back to take care of her?"Dixon fell silent, but his leaving had already answered me.Before he left, I reminded him, "We've agreed on this. During the time of our relationship, you're not allowed to see her. Don't you remember that?"He said in a deep voice, "I do, so I want to...""Ask for my permission?""Why does he think that I'll let him go?""Dixon, if you leave, I'll end this game."I stopped the movie, rose up, and smiled, "I won't stop you from leaving, unless you want to breach the contract. Dixon, I've never been as thoughtful as you think."Dixon stared

"Let's pretend those dating days never happened."He wanted to withdraw his love for me, even thought it was feigned. I gave a resigned smile. "Hum, my exact sentiments.""Caroline, I agreed to the divorce then because I've always owed Gwen a wedding ceremony and I want to compensate her. It was never my intention to hurt you so I apologize and I'll be here if you ever require any help.""Seems like you still have lingering feelings for your ex-wife?" I snickered and reminded him. "There's nothing to be sorry about. You don't love me and that's that, there's nothing contrite about it. Don't tell me you're feeling remorseful after we've divorced and you're starting to develop feelings for me on top of having doubts about whether you still love Gwen! If that's the case, Dixon, you're pathetic."Dixon hesitated momentarily before responding. "Caroline, you don't have to use such a condemning tone. Admittedly, I wronged you previously, but that doesn't justify you overstepping boundari

Henry was was opposed to leaving Wu City but I urged him incessantly and obstinately stood at the door after he took me back home. He surveyed my stubborn stance and sighed. "You're really chasing me away?"The people around me were few and far between and my only confidant, Summer, was still stuck in prison.To be honest, I was crestfallen to see him go.However, he had been overwhelmed with calls recently.I was mindful of the responsibilities that he bore at home and would hate to hold him back.Furthermore, I was averse to him witnessing my passing.I dipped my head and dispelled his concerns. "Yes, give me some time to myself.""Were nine years of alone time not enough?"I was caught by surprise when the realization hit me that this year marked the ninth anniversary of my parents' deaths.The years had flown past in such a blur that I had done nothing for my own well-being.The only decision I had made had been the worst mistake of my life.If I could rewind time, I wou
