CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1525

At that, Sean glanced at Stanley and continued, “You never loved Natalie, which is why you never did those things to her. If you really loved her, you wouldn't be able to accept her being with Shane. You would've even attacked them. However, you're not capable of snatching Natalie away from Shane with this disability of yours. Since you can't get what you wanted, you'd end up killing them both, so that Shane won't get her, too. Yet, you never did all that. You let them live blissfully, get married, and even have three children. Isn't all this enough to prove that you don't love Natalie?”

Stanley's body trembled slightly. Clearly, Sean's words had changed the former's perspective of his love for Natalie.

That explained why he never felt angry or jealous when Natalie and Shane were together. Neither did he have the urge to separate them. All he felt was just a little uncomfortable.

All that while, he figured he had just been hiding his feelings well.

Truth was, he felt no powerful emotions because he did not love Natalie.

At that thought, Stanley felt the impression Natalie had left in his heart slowly disappearing to the point that he was so close to forgetting her.

Even so, he did not feel anxious or regretful.

Are things really like what Sean said? Do I not love Natalie?

Meanwhile, Sean watched Stanley's expression change from a phase of shock, self-doubt, and finally calmness.

Meanwhile, Sean watched Stanley's expression change from a phase of shock, self-doubt, and finally calmness.

That was when Sean knew Stanley had understood the situation at last.

“Looks like you've realized you don't love Natalie, eh?” asked Sean while studying Stanley's face.

Stanley cast Sean a grim look. “Even if I don't love Natalie, there's no way I'd love someone else. Earlier, you said I'm merely using Natalie as a replacement for the person I love. That's utterly ridiculous. Tell me, then. Who is the person I truly love?”

“Are you sure you want to know?” Sean smirked.

Stanley felt his heart clench, but he still kept himself composed. “Well, I have to find out what kind of beauty you've arranged that you think I'll fall in love with.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

All of a sudden, Sean laughed as if his mood had improved.

Frowning, Stanley questioned, “What are you laughing at?”

“Oh, it's nothing. I'm just amused at how you're still unwilling to examine your heart calmly. Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you. The person you love is Joyce,” Sean stated, crossing his legs.

Shock was written all over Stanley's face, but a mocking laugh soon followed. “You said I love Joyce? Sean, you should know when to stop joking. Either that or find some other woman who's on the same level as Natalie. Of all people, you picked Joyce? What a joke!”

Do I love Joyce? That's impossible! Who in their right mind would love the daughter of their parents' murderers?

Regardless, the smirk on Sean's face remained. “I'm not joking. I'm telling the truth. It's true that you love Joyce. In fact, you loved her from the beginning. I looked into your history with her. She had feelings for you when she was in her teens, but you had already fallen for her before that. You're three years older than her, so you had already developed feelings for her when you hit puberty. You just didn't realize it. When your parents died, you developed a hatred for her. In reality, that's not real hatred.”

“What do you mean?” Stanley glared at Sean.

Chuckling, Sean explained, “It's very simple. I'm saying you never hated her. You just couldn't accept the fact that her parents exposed your parents' whereabouts, which caused them to die. Hence, you misinterpreted the blame on her parents as a hatred for the entire family. The truth is, you don't really hate the Rivers family. Then again, they're still involved in your parents' death. Rather than hating them, you just resent them for looking for your parents at that time.”
