I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Caught in the Act?

#Finished

Saying she didn’t deserve Morty’s affection was a tactic to downplay herself, yet when Morty heard her self–description, his frown was tinmistakable.

“Why do you say you don’t deserve my liking? You’re not me; don’t talk down about yourself like that,” Morty said earnestly. There’s no such thing as deserving or not deserving affection; it’s all about whether the feelings are genuine.”

Ellis furrowed her brow, puzzled. Is Morry implying, in a roundabout way, that I deserved his genuine affection?

It was the first time she’d heard such a thing: setting aside her confusion, she actually felt a bit pleased. Honestly, who wouldn’t like to be acknowledged and complimented!

People always gravitate toward positive emotional values, and sweetness was definitely a great trait.

She never got such sweetness from Easton. He never complimented her; he scoffed at her love, clearly not cherishing her feelings for him.

You… Her gaze drified, “what are you trying to say?”

“Be honest, are you afraid I’m just playing around Morty hadn’t initially considered this, but Ellis’s demeanor suggested she was worried he was toying with her. “When we went to see Victoria, did what she said influence your opinion of

me?”

Morty’s

‘s mention of Victoria gave Ellis a slight jolt. It wasn’t really Victoria’s words that affected her; she was, after all, a mature adult capable of basic logical judgments.

Moreover, having suffered from unreciprocated love, she had no desire to enjoy unilateral affection from someone, to let others taste the pain she had endured; that would be unkind.

She sighed in resignation, “Whether you’re just playing or truly serious, I still stand by what I said: I don’t like you, and that’s the main point.”

“Then let me ask you, what do you like about Easton?”

Was Morty trying to compare himself to Easton?

Ellis rubbed her temples, which throbbed slightly. “I don’t want to say too much, but overall, your character is lacking. I don’t like you!

Since politeness hadn’t deterred Morty, she didn’t hesitate to speak more harsh truths. Poor character?

Those words hit Morty like a bolt from the blue, leaving him speechless. Seding Morty’s prolonged silence, and ensuring they were in a safe stretch of road via the rearview mirror, Ellis, to avoid further awkwardness, attempted to exit the car.

Seeing this. Morty asked again, I’m not claiming to be a saint, but surely I haven’t fallen to being outright bad?“.

Temporarily retracting her move to exit, Ellis shot Morty a cold glance.

She had put it bluntly, yet Morty seemed oblivious to any faults in his character. Could he have gotten so used to pretending that he’d forgotten his true nature!

Her lips curled into a scornful smile, “You took photos of me and Casey together and sent them to Easton, misleading him into thinking I was unfaithful. You think I don’t know?”

Recalling this incident still infuriated her. No matter how much Morty touted his character, she would never believe him.

He seemed eager to catch her in a misdeed, stirring up trouble to teach her a lesson; she was being generous not settling scores with him, yet he had the audacity to claim he liked her! No matter how desperate she was for a man, she wasn’t desperate enough to settle for him

Caught off guard by Ellis bringing up the forgotten issue, Morty remembered the photos saved on his phone, his facial muscles tensing to the point where he couldn’t open his mouth. “That… those photos…”
