?Chapter 2084


    The Thompson children were all loyal in love, but they were also great actors.


    When Den said those cold words, his heart felt as if it was pierced by a sharp de, repeatedly twisting to hurt him.


    "Den..." Annabeth''s body, wrapped in his military suit, trembled violently. She stared at him in shock, wanting to see through his cold expression. "You don''t want me anymore?"


    Like an outstanding actor, crystal-clear tears rolled down her cheeks when she spoke, glistening like a string of pearls.


    Den''s heart clenched painfully, and he could not bear to look at her anymore.


    How he hoped she was merely seducing him with shallow feelings. But the girl before him had genuine emotions and not one bit of acting.


    "Have you forgotten... Have you forgotten everything we did in the pce? Have you forgotten how you took a huge risk to climb over the pce walls to see me? Have you forgotten hugging me..."


    "Your Highness, I''ve indeed kissed and hugged you before, but what could that prove?"Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Den snorted, his mocking expression as cold as the Antarctic ice floating on the sea. "That could only prove you once attracted me, physically."


    Physical attraction?


    Although Annabeth was only twenty and grew up under the doting love of the king and queen, making her innocent and naive, she could still understand the underlying meaning of his words.


    It was a biological impulse of a man to a woman.


    The cheapest, ugliest kind of affection.


    "The long nights were not so lonely anymore because of you. In that sense, I did like you before."


    "No matter what... You still liked me!" Annabeth teared up, twisting her waist as she struggled to hug him. She only wanted him.


    But her thin shoulders were held firmly in ce by him. She could not touch him at all, and she was so anxious that tears could not stop falling. "Den... I love you... Can''t we at least try? We''ve never started anything. How could you be sure that you only like me that way? Even if you only want my body, I don''t care! I just want to be with you... Nothing else matters if I get to be with you."


    She cried and begged for his love,pletely disregarding her noble status and dignity as a royal.


    "Your Highness, you''ve said that I was your first man."


    Den slightly tugged at his lips and narrowed his eyes. "The reason you''ve set your eyes on me isn''t because I''m all that. It''s because you''ve met too few men. We aren''t suitable. Forget it."


    "No...!"


    Annabeth''s eyes, red from tears, widened like a cornered wildcat, and she gritted her teeth fiercely. "I order you to be with me! Otherwise, the royal family would not let you off! If you don''t marry me... You will never be able to marry another woman!"


    "I''ve decided to dedicate the rest of my life to my country. Romance was never part of my ns, and I''ve never thought of getting married. I''m saving you the trouble. Besides, don''t forget that I''m not from Sentania. Your special privileges don''t apply to me."


    Den flipped over and stood up, his tall and broad figure towering over her, his gaze without warmth." Leave my room immediately,"


    "I won''t!" Annabeth''s pink lips pouted, snot and tears stained her face.


    "Fine. Then you can stay. I''ll leave."


    Den was expressionless and turned around to leave without hesitation.


    Suddenly, a small and wet hand grabbed his palm tightly.


    "Don''t leave... I''ll go. I''ll go, okay?"


    Annabeth left his military uniform on the bed and disappeared from his room in the blink of an eye. "Annabeth, there''s no possibility between us. I''m sorry."
