Chapter 778

Nigel nodded. "Yes, I'm ready. Celine, go ahead—take my

blood."

"Alright."

Celine immediately pulled out a sharp, gleaming blade. "Mr.

Hampton, I'm about to begin."

"Do it."

Nigel closed his eyes.

Celine raised the blade. Its pointed tip hovered directly above

Nigel's chest, right where his heart beat beneath.

Suddenly, Fiona leaped off the bed and threw herself into

Nigel's arms, clinging to him tightly.

Nigel opened his eyes and looked at her. "Fiona, what's

wrong?"

She shook her desperately . Nigel, I don't want you to die!"

He gazed at her tenderly. "As long as it saves you, I'll do

anything."

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Fiona's voice trembled. "

Back then, our marriage was purely out of convenience for our

families. I knew you didn't love me."

Nigel lifted his hand and gently cupped her face. "It's true. At

first, our marriage was just part of a power match. I didn't

----

love you when we got married. Honestly , back then, it didn't

matter who I married."

As an heir to a wealthy family, marriage had been just another

means of securing alliances—who the partner was hadn't

mattered.

Fiona lowered her gaze, her heart aching. She had always

known he didn't love her.

She began to loosen her hold.

But Nigel continued , "I didn't love you then because we had

just met. But after we got married... You slowly found your

way into my heart over the years. Whether I wanted it or not,

you clung to me, stayed by my side.

"T couldn't resist you. I started to fall for you, and before I

knew it, you were everything to me. Fiona... I've loved you for

along time."

Fiona froze. He—Nigel Hampton—loved her?

Nigel looked at her with a gaze full of warmth and longing. "

Fiona, for all these years that you were gone, do you know

how hard I searched for you and our daughter?

"Every hour, every second, I was searching. I've lost count of

how many times I imagined seeing you again. And I kept

wondering... how deep was your hatred for me to take our

daughter and disappear like that? I missed you so much. I

missed both of you." 1

Nigel had always been a quiet and reserved man. He was never

----

the type to confess his feelings. But now, for the first time, he

laid bare all his longing—his heart, raw and exposed, was

completely hers.

This was the heart of a man who had loved Fiona for years.

Tears blurred Fiona's vision. They spilled down her cheeks in

large drops. All those years of pain and resentment had come

from one place—the belief that Nigel never loved her.

She had envied Anne. She envied how kind he had been to

Anne.

But now, Fiona knew—he had always loved her.

Nigel reached out and gently wiped her tears. "Don't cry,

Fiona."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her toes, and

kissed him.

Nigel was stunned.

Then, Fiona smiled as she looked him in the eye. "Nigel, I love

you too."

His expression shifted.

While smiling through her tears, Fiona said, "I'm the heiress

of the Jakeman family. Sure, marrying into another powerful

family was always part of the plan. But my parents told me

since I was little that I deserve to marry for love.

“The day I saw your photo, I knew I wanted you. I told my

parents I wouldn't marry anyone else. If I'm marrying, it has

----

to be you, Nigel Hampton. That was why our families agreed

to this marriage.

"Twore a red dress to our first meeting, just to catch your

attention . wanted your love. I wanted you to love me... the

way I've always loved you!"
