Chapter 223 -223: Standing in Your World, on Equal Footing with You

Hope Williams brushed the dust from her hands, looking down with cold disdain at the dog on the ground, “Keep barking.”

“You.” Xavier Lewis gritted his teeth, “Good, very good. Just wait until I catch you, then you’re finished.”

As Xavier cursed and climbed up from the ground, he fiercely spat, “To sleep with you would be your good fortune. What do you think you are? Even Waylon Lewis was just playing with you, you think you’re some big shot…”

Before Xavier could finish his sentence, Hope’s eyes suddenly widened in shock.

A wine bottle smashed down furiously, everything happening too quickly.

It struck Xavier on the head with a “bang.”

The scent of death spread endlessly, giving Xavier no chance to plead for mercy.

The shattered wine bottle littered the ground with its broken remnants.

A man yanked Xavier’s head and fiercely slammed it against the wall, blood splattering against it, stunning everyone present.

Their terrified gazes locked onto the imposing figure of the man in the center.

Everyone’s eyes filled with horror as if they had seen a demon.

Xavier hadn’t even time to scream before he passed out.

Silence around them was as if death incarnate.

Waylon Lewis’s handsome face was expressionless, his face splashed with blood, a vivid red that created a heart-stopping beauty.

In the silent, breath-held stillness, Waylon turned his gaze to Hope standing in front of him, equally terrified by the scene.

His lips slightly parted as he strode towards her, his earlier violence dissipating the moment his gaze shifted to her.

Bowing his head, he took a deep breath and reached out to hold her hand.

“Let’s go home.”

At such close proximity, Hope could distinctly smell the scent of smoke on him. She was being pulled by him, not trying to shake off his hand.

As they entered the elevator.

The elevator doors had not yet closed when he turned around, pinned her against the wall, and captured her neck, bending down to kiss her fiercely.

The kiss was so intense and desperate, as if he couldn’t bear not to swallow her whole, eager to feel her presence.

His unrestrained force in the kiss made Hope somewhat unable to cope, her hands clutching tightly onto his clothes as she involuntary softened her body.

A strong arm wrapped around her lower back, pressing her into his embrace.

He was breathing heavily, looking down, his eyes pleading as he gazed at her.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you…”

He kissed her forehead, her eyebrows, the tip of her nose, his kisses brimming with apology and fear…

“Waylon Lewis, I…”

“I’m sorry, please don’t leave me, okay? You can hit me, you can scold me, but… please, don’t disappear from my world. I can’t bear it…”

The moment he realized she was not at home upon returning, he truly panicked.

He was genuinely afraid, fearing she would vanish without a trace like she did five years ago, and that he would never find her again.

Hope’s eyes stung with emotion at such close distance, unable to escape each other’s gaze.

His cautious tone and the hollow fear in his eyes deeply pierced Hope’s heart.

“Waylon Lewis, I apologize for what happened during the day. I neglected your feelings. You’re not someone else; you are the most important person to me.”

Waylon Lewis’s heart stirred slightly, and he reached out to touch his cheek, then leaned in once more to kiss her lips.

“I know, you don’t have to apologize, it’s my fault…”

Hope Williams took a deep breath, gently shook her head, and looked straight at him, “No, it was my fault for being too dominant and not taking your feelings into account. If it’s my fault, it’s just that, and you don’t need to accommodate me like this.”

“We are husband and wife; as long as we’re together, I won’t leave you, understand?” Hope Williams raised her hand to gently smooth Waylon Lewis’s slightly furrowed brow.

Waylon Lewis’s gaze fell on the calm face of the woman, but his heart couldn’t calm down, “Really?”

“Really, it’s normal for there to be conflicts between husband and wife. How could I leave the person I love most over something like this?”

A glimmer of light emerged in Waylon Lewis’s eyes, “The person you love most?”

Hope Williams smiled gently, placing her hands on Waylon Lewis’s shoulders, her smile serene, “What are you doubting, Waylon Lewis? Of course, it’s you.”

The fear in his eyes gradually turned into another emotion, and abruptly, Waylon Lewis pulled her fiercely into his embrace.

Hope Williams continued, “Waylon Lewis, not wanting to depend on you isn’t because I don’t love you or because I see you as someone else, but because I want to become strong. Strong enough to stand with you in your world, as your equal. I want to be able to face any danger with you in the future, and I don’t want to be a burden hiding under your wing.”

“Hope…”

Hope Williams took hold of Waylon Lewis’s hand.

She wouldn’t allow herself to become a burden to anyone.

Nor would she allow herself to live hidden under someone else’s wings; she wanted to be strong enough on her own.

“Just like today, Amelia Bailey said that I have no family background, am not a wealthy lady, and that staying by your side, our statuses don’t match, and taking me out would embarrass you. It seems calm on the surface in the Lewis Family, but beneath there are tumultuous waves. It’s the same at home, and outside, who knows how many eyes are watching.

I admit I don’t have a glamorous family background, nor am I a wealthy lady. True, not being born into a wealthy family is something I can never change in this lifetime.

But I am determined to prove to everyone that your choice in me, Waylon Lewis, is not a mistake, and I won’t embarrass you.

Moreover, I want to be the woman who stands by your side and matches you. I want to show them that the woman beside Waylon Lewis has to be me, and no one else.”

The emotions in Waylon Lewis’s pupils undulated, the woman’s words resounding and startling him again and again.

I want to become strong, strong enough to stand with you in your world as your equal, to face any danger with you in the future, and not to be a burden hiding under your wing.

To show everyone that your choice in me, Waylon Lewis, is not a mistake. I won’t embarrass you!

Which eye of his was blind to have lost this woman before?

Indeed, the woman by his side, Waylon Lewis, had to be her and only her.

He didn’t want anyone else but her, and only she could bear it.

“You simply make me wonder how I could ever love you enough.”

“That’s enough… Being together, loving me deeply, and I loving you deeply, we’ll face difficulties together, solve conflicts together, we’ll raise Luke and Willow well together, and perhaps…” Hope Williams’s face blushed slightly, “perhaps we’ll have more babies in the future.”

Hope Williams’s eyes twinkled, filled with anticipation.

Waylon Lewis gazed at the beautiful face of the woman, his eyes softening more and more with a smile, silently listened to her continue to speak, with indulgent laughter in his eyes.

Her voice gentle continued, “Till we grow old, we’ll lie together on rocking chairs, enjoying the evening breeze, watching the sunset fill the sky. By then, our children will have grown up, and we’ll have adorable grandsons and granddaughters at our knees.

Or we could travel the world together as long as we’re each other’s company, that’s the best.”

Waylon Lewis once again lowered his head to kiss the woman’s lips, his dark eyes burning with fervor, his voice resolutely answering her, “We will, we certainly will.”

Hope Williams smiled tenderly again, “Then let’s promise not to get angry over nothing next time, okay? We’ll patiently sort out any issues.”

“Alright, just this once, never again.”
