Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Looking at Johann’s desperate face, Edith really wanted to comfort him and give him a hug, but she knew that she had no turning back. She couldn’t do
that.
Edith gritted her teeth and finally chose to turn around and leave without even looking at Johann.
Seeing Edith leave, Johann came to his senses and immediately chased after her, but he was held tightly by Vanessa.
“Johann, give up. She’s already married. No one can change this.”
Hearing this, Johann was stunned for a moment and stared blankly at Edith’s receding figure.
Johann thought, “That is the girl I love the most. Even though she married and slept with someone else, it was all because of me. Why should she bear the consequences?
I am a man, but I can’t protect my beloved woman. I’m so useless.”
Johann suddenly realized what he wanted. He broke free from Vanessa like a madman and roared, “I don’t care. I will only marry Edith in my life.”
After that, he chased after Edith crazily.
Vanessa froze on the spot, tears falling from her eyes. This time, she was not acting, but really sad.
Vanessa clenched her fists tightly, and her nails sank into her flesh. It was so painful.
Her teary eyes became scarlet and ferocious, filled with hatred.
Vanessa was unwilling to give up. She thought, “I’m the daughter of the Meyer family, and I have a noble status, but Johann has never been attracted to me. He only has eyes for the lowly Edith.
If Dad hadn’t pitied Edith, how could he have brought her back?
Dad raised her for 20 years, not to let her compete with me for a man. Edith is not qualified!“.
Vanessa said resentfully, “Edith, just you wait. I won’t let you off easily.”
Johann didn’t find Edith. She had already paid the bill and left in a hurry.
Sarah didn’t ask Edith, but when she saw Edith’s red eyes, Sarah understood what was going on.
That night, Edith went back, hid under the quilt, and burst into tears. The next day, she went to work as if nothing had happened.
Edith didn’t expect that Johann would find out where she worked and block her way at the company entrance in the morning.
“How did you find this place?”
“Vanessa used to give me wrong information. Of course, I couldn’t find you. Now… you can’t get rid of me anymore,” Johann said stubbornly.
“It’s over between us.”
“Not at all,” Johann said loudly. “You can’t end it unilaterally. You’re my fiancée and the only woman I’ve ever loved. We can’t just break up like this. No matter what you become, you’re still the woman I love. I won’t give up.
“I don’t care about Simon and the Lawson family. No one can stop me from loving you. I want to be with you. I’ll negotiate with the Lawson family. I won’t give up on you.”
Johann spoke word by word in a sonorous and powerful voice, which shocked Edith.
Her heart almost softened. After a long while, Edith became firm and said, “What about Vanessa? You know that she loves you. Can you guarantee that

she won’t stir up trouble again? I’m domineering. I don’t want you to contact her frequently. I want my man to stay by my side rather than risk his life to help Vanessa whenever she is in trouble.”
“I helped Vanessa because she’s your cousin. If… if you don’t want me anymore, what will she have to do with me? She can’t be compared to you, never.
You’re the one I love.”
Johann held Edith tightly in his arms and burst into tears.
“Edith, don’t leave me… I can’t live without you.”
