He Said He Hated Me, Then Begged To Be Mine Chapter 12

He Said He Hated Me, Then Begged To Be Mine Chapter 12

That night, when I got home, Cassian hugged me tightly from behind. 

I struggled to push him away, but he only held me tighter. His hoarse voice carried a plea. 

“Let me hold you.” 

Scalding tears fell on my shoulder, burning all the way into my heart. 

“My poor sad boy male lead finally has someone who cares about him and stands up for him. Aurelia is amazing.” 

“This is totally childhood friends plus salvation. Little Aurelia protected little Cassian, and even after growing up, she still 

steps in front of him without hesitation. She is light to him. In 

his heart, Aurelia is first–love level.” 

“Actually, Aurelia still has feelings for the male lead, right? 

Otherwise, how could she rush up and tear that woman apart with words? When Cassian heard the report from his people, he almost broke down crying. The puppy came home and 

immediately hugged Aurelia while crying.” 

“Don’t misunderstand. I cursed her out today for no other 

reason.” 

Cassian locked me firmly in his arms. 

“I know. I’ll keep trying.” 

I lowered my head, unable to stop the corner of my mouth from lifting. 

After showering, I came out of the bathroom and saw Cassian wearing an Agent Provocateur lace nightdress. His neck and 

face were flushed red, and his swollen chest muscles stretched the fabric crookedly. 

He had an extremely seductive face. Paloma once said that 

with that succubus–level face alone, he could make an absurd 

amount of money. 

“Babe.” 

I swallowed uselessly, my whole body feeling like I was 

floating in the clouds, dizzy and light. 

The live comments were almost going crazy. 

“Ahhh, OMG, the male lead really wore women’s lingerie. Ahhh, he’s really going all out to make his wife happy. This man will succeed at anything he does.” 

“Who said he felt humiliated wearing women’s clothes? Look at him watching his wife get seduced. He’s clearly enjoying it.” 

“Do not cut to black. Do not cut to black. Write it all. Write it 

hard. If this platform won’t allow it, put it next door. I’ll chase 

it to the ends of the earth.” 

A few days later, I heard that the Holt family had been 

liquidated and officially declared bankruptcy. 

Cassian returned to the house in Topanga Canyon where he 

had lived as a child. He sat on the sofa and stared toward the 

kitchen, his eyes unfocused. 

“Mom, I actually hated him. I hated his cowardice and his 

weakness. But he followed you without hesitation.” 

“Everyone who hurt you has paid. But I’m not as happy as I imagined.” 

“Maybe because I have no home.” 

Creak. 

I pushed the door open and walked in. 

“Cassian, Margot wants you home for dinner.” 

Cassian’s eyes instantly went wet. Broken light shimmered in 

them as he looked at me for a long time without speaking. 

His gaze was like a soft knife, slowly cutting into the tenderest place in my heart. 

In a daze, I remembered the first time I met him. 

His eyes had been full of wariness. That wariness was a hard 

shell, and inside it were confusion and helplessness. 

I walked over and took his hand. 

“I’m Aurelia Vance. This is my favorite Build–A–Bear. I’ll 

share it with you. Now we’re best friends.” 

Years later, I still walked toward him and hugged him. 

“Cassian, I have a home. I’ll share half with you.” 

Cassian buried himself in my arms. His hands kept tightening 

around my waist, so hard I could barely breathe. 

“Am I your boyfriend now?” 

“No. Probationary period.” 

“How long?” 

“Until I say so.” 

“Aurelia, why did you say you’d catch and release me?” 

“you idiot. An idiot was sending five hundred twenty K to my door. Free money.” 

“Yeah. I am an idiot.”
