The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1949

“Is this even useful?”

“Useful?”

“What’s the use of it?”

Cheryl’s eyes were red-rimmed as she could not stop tears falling down her face. “If you can’t even say the three words ‘I love you’, it means that I have no place in your heart at all.”

“What if I lie?”

“I want to hear it too! I just want to hear you say the words ‘I love you’. How hard is that? Can’t you just say it even if it’s a lie? Just give me a reason to deceive myself, okay?”

She almost shouted when she said this. After shouting, she squatted on the ground, sobbing.

Alex was heartbroken when he looked at her.

Alex sighed, bent down and picked her up. He said, “The three words ‘I love you’ weigh little. Some people say it to many women in a day. But these three words can also be as heavy as a mountain, and even greater than life… Cheryl, I can say these three words to you. I’m not the only one to bear the consequences afterwards, but you too!”

Cheryl hugged him and cried.

Alex said, “I know what you’ve been through and I know how much you hate your father. Because of this incident during your childhood, you’ve shut yourself away from men and I don’t wish for you to go through that kind of hardship again. I’m afraid that these three simple words may bring you tragedy later… You’re really an incomparable, perfect woman in my heart.”

“Incomparable? What about your wife then?”

Alex said, “You know about my previous experience too. I once got a divorce and even received the divorce certificate. For a while, Dorothy and I did have a huge problem with our relationship. At that time, you came into my life. There were many moments where I didn’t wish to go back and rather stay in the hospital! You might think it’s a joke, but at that time, when I was accompanying my unconscious mother day and night, I couldn’t see any hope and I always felt like the world was filled with darkness. Everyday, I could only feel warm whenever you walked in.”

“And then, I don’t know since when, I looked forward to you coming in every day…”

Cheryl listened attentively. “Is it true?”

Alex smiled and nodded. “Of course it’s true. At that time, I thought how nice it would be if Dorothy was half as gentle as you.”

“So that I can prove my sincerity.”

Cheryl was not too clear about the cultivation matters, but she thought that making a spiritual blood oath was probably similar to making a pledge. Although she felt quite uncomfortable, she just let it slip. What she did not know was, an spiritual blood oath was similar to a shackle for cultivators. Once it’s established, one could never regret it. Otherwise, one would suffer the Lightning Tribulation punishment under the rules of God’s Path. It would be much more terrifying than an ordinary Lightning Tribulation that one could hardly survive.

“I love you too!” Cheryl said, “I know it’s impossible for you to marry me now. But I still hope that we can go through the marriage ceremony!”

“Marriage… Ceremony?”

“Are you not willing to?”

At first, Cheryl gave him a passionate kiss. Then, she jumped around to get three alcohol lamps for the experiment. She laid them on the ground neatly and lit them up.

Afterwards, she asked Alex, “Do you want to do it or not?”

Alex scratched his head… Previously, Dorothy and him used an ancient marriage certificate. Never did he expect that Cheryl would come up with a drama of a marriage ceremony.

“I want to!”
