If she did not want to admit it, he could not force her. ‘It’s okay if she doesn’t admit it now… We have a long future ahead anyway…’ Tristan kept the photo and looked at her gently.
“Okay. It doesn’t matter if that’s not you. Joyce, I mean it when I said that I want to be with you.”
His large hands were beautiful like works of art. The moment they covered Joyce’s hands, Joyce frowned and withdrew her hand, but he held her tightly.
He did not move and did not allow her to refuse. Joyce was slightly stunned and did not struggle again. Instead, she raised her eyes to look at him.
She met his gaze and faintly hooked the corners of her lips. Her voice was gentle but without a trace of warmth.
“Mr. Beckett, sometimes, wishful thinking is just as annoying as being brazen-faced. Just as how you hated me when I insisted on marrying you back then, I now understand what you felt.”
– They had completely switched positions. Hearing her words, Tristan’s body stiffened slightly. His gentle smile froze on his face, and a dull pain spread in his chest.
Panic spread from the bottom of his heart and expanded infinitely. Tristan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Joyce did not give him the chance. “Kai, are you there?” She shouted towards the door.
“I’m here!” Kai answered without hesitation and pushed the door in. He would stand by his sister at all times and would not give others the slightest chance to hurt her.
Joyce smiled and looked at Tristan. “Mr. Beckett, I’ve said everything that I wanted to. Now, I’d like to get some rest.”
> Tristan stood there, unmoved. His gaze was deep as he looked at Joyce’s stunning face which had such a cold smile that was like a sharp knife stabbing his heart, bringing him bursts of pain, He clenched his fists at his sides.
There were countless words of regret that he could not say because she simply did not want to hear them. Joyce did not even hate him now. She was just ignoring his emotions.
Kai coughed and looked at him harshly. “Tristan Beckett, didn’t you hear her say she was tired? Can you leave?” Kai did not like Tristan because anyone who had hurt his sister was an evil person! Thus, there was no need to be polite to him. Joyce had already turned away.
She stroked Tigger and leaned back comfortably. Tristan saw the determination and frankness under her eyes and felt his heart clench. It was an indefinable feeling, He finally realized that Joyce really didnot like him anymore.
Tristan was silent for a few seconds. His voice was still gentle, but it was hoarse, deep, and despondent. “Rest well then.” After that, he turned to leave.
Before he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, “What I said was sincere. Perhaps you can’t accept it at this moment, but Joyce, I really do regret it.”
Tristan then left the room without hesitation. Kai frowned and was puzzled. “What did he say to you?”
Although Kai was just standing outside the door, the soundproofing of this room was really amazing.
Thus, Kai did not get to hear anything. a Tristan inexplicably left such a weird sentence, so how could Kai not be curious? Joyce pursed her lips.
Her eyes flickered slightly, so she looked down and said, “ Nothing. K, how long do we have to get home?” “Two or three days.” Kai frowned.
‘It better be nothing, otherwise, I won’t forgive that jerk, Tristan Beckett!’ Tigger, who was in Joyce’s arms, poked his head out and said in a cute and soft voice, “Papa left… Papa’s so sad…” Kai was baffled.
Joyce said, “Papa? Are you talking about Tristan Beckett?!” Tigger sighed insouciantly and said, “ Mama rejected Papa, so he’s really sad…’ » Kai strode over in two steps and picked Tigger up by the neck.
“What the hell?! Didn’t you hate him? You little traitor!” Tigger wiggled his legs and said in indignation, “Hmph! The Great God Maverick said that you have to be objective! He’s already modified my program, so my bad impression of Papa is gone!” Joyce’s lips twitched.
“Mav is too much. How can he just modify Tigger’s thoughts?!” Tigger’s cute little whiskers moved. “The Great God Maverick said that you shouldn’t be a bad influence on cute little animals like me!” Joyce and Kai looked at each other.
Forget it, there was no way they could fight Maverick even with combined IQs. Joyce was really tired and felt sore from her wound that had not yet healed.
She finally let down her strong guard and vigilance from the past few days and succumbed to being sick. Tristan’s words kept ringing in her ears like a curse.
Joyce desperately wanted to escape, but she could not get it out of her mind.
While Joyce was sleeping, the images of gunfire on the island and the terrorist attack on the streets of Europe overlapped in her mind.
She had nightmare after nightmare. When she woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Kai by her bedside, who had stayed up all night watching her worriedly.
She lowered her lush, dark eyelashes and said in a relaxed yet firm tone. “K, please find me a psychiatrist.” The night sky was a dark blue.
The ocean reflected the stars and moonlight, which rippled across the water as the cold wind blew. A man stood on the deck. His shadow was stretched long.
His eyes were as dark as ink and had a gloominess in them. He stood there in silence. The chill he exuded merged with the raging coldness of the sea.
Jackson, the military doctor, walked over slowly and said in a teasing voice, “Is the great President Beckett standing here to heal his broken heart?” He had never seen Tristan, who was usually indifferent about everything, get distracted the whole day because of a few words from Joyce.
The man’s jawline was defined. At first glance, there was no emotion in his eyes, but on closer look, one could see the heavy and complex sentiments churning inside. Tristan instantly collected his emotions and glanced to the side.
His voice was indescribably low and husky.
“I have a feeling that she will never like me again.” ( Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly.“ You saved her. Is she still blaming you?” Tristan laughed self-deprecatingly.
“She has stopped hating me for a long time, so she naturally won’t blame me… Just because she did not blame him did not mean that she would like him.
Beckett Corporation could be inextricably linked to Powell Corporation when it came to benefits, but 578 Joyce would never have anything to do with Tristan again.
Jackson sighed and patted his shoulder. “Well, I think it can still be saved. You deserve to pay the price for all those dumb things you did back then.
But… Since you think she’s the one, you gotta do all you can to get her back! Otherwise, how could you let all of us brothers risk our lives for nothing, huh?” Tristan hooked his lips and laughed. His eyebrows finally relaxed. “
The brothers have gone back?” “Yeah.
Several giant helicopters entering the airspace together will incur quite a troublesome procedure. If not for the patient on board, I would’ve followed.
By the way, Mr. Hollywood came to find me today asking me if I knew psychotherapy. Do you think Ms. Powell…” Jackson stopped mid-sentence.
He frowned slightly and thought that if any ordinary person encountered the things Joyce did, they would have probably collapsed mentally.
Joyce’s psychological defenses were considered very strong because she could still control her emotions so well. When Tristan heard this, his face instantly sank.
The anxiety and concern in his eyes could not be concealed. He did not even have time to wallow in sadness and turned to leave immediately.
Jackson, who wanted to have a chat with his buddy, was speechless. ‘Did I just get abandoned after a few sentences?’ Tristan walked to the corner of the hallway and heard Kai, who was talking to Grant on the phone.
“Yeah, she has nightmares all day. She has a low-grade fever. Yeah, she’s conscious.”
Tristan wanted to stop and listen, but Maverick, who was standing opposite Kai, had already seen him, so he walked over openly.
Kai rolled his eyes at Tristan while he continued to report Joyce’s condition to Grant. “Of course, I took good care of Lil N! She’ s fine when she woke up.
She asked to see a psychiatrist herself…” Hearing these words, Tristan’s eyebrows knitted up tightly.
After hanging up the phone, Kai looked at Tristan with a hostile gaze.
“What are you doing here? No one’s here to help you now!” Before this, Tristan relied on his army buddies to carry Kai, who refused to budge, out of the way.
It was simply bullying, and Kai felt humiliated. Tristan’s gaze was dark. “I’ll contact my friend who’s a psychiatrist.” The psychiatrist who Tristan recommended was probably great, but Kai immediately refused.
“No need for that. Grant will get it sorted, so you don’t need to worry about it.” ) Tristan wanted to say something else, but Maverick also agreed with Kai and politely refused Tristan’s offer.
After all, a psychiatrist would get into one ‘s privacy and weaknesses, and Joyce must not want her weaknesses to be seen by Tristan or his friends. Late at night.
Kai was resting on the sofa outside Joyce’s room. Tristan sat by Joyce’s bed and quietly looked at her face that kept changing in her sleep, which was sometimes nervous, scared, or calm.
He did not feel sleepy at all, only heartbroken. Joyce put up such a strong front, but it was clear that she was traumatized and suffering The night was still.
Suddenly, Joyce grunted and opened her eyes in a daze, )) She murmured, “Water…” Soon, a cup of warm water was handed to her with a straw placed right at her lips.
Joyce quenched her thirst and became somewhat conscious. She saw Tristan and opened her mouth to speak. Tristan gently moved closer to hear what she was trying to say.
“Tristan…” She called his name. Tristan’s heart rippled softly. It felt warm and soft.
She had not called his name for a long time. “Joyce, what do you need?” In the late-night darkness, his voice sounded so gentle.
Joyce was half awake. Her voice was ) weak as she said, “Tristan, get out…” After that, she no longer had the strength to say anything else and passed out Naturally, she also missed Tristan’s expression after he heard those words.
His eyes that lit up for that moment instantly became dull and despondent.
