didn’t expect that they’d reveal a piece of the past unbeknownst to me while they were fighting.
As it turned out, Isaac had fallen for me back then and knew that Morgan had feelings for me. Still, he contacted me behind Morgan’s back and started courting

When I mustered my courage and texted Morgan, Isaac had secretly deleted the message. That made me misunderstand that Morgan had rejected me, and I gave up. That way, he continued courting me.
Isaac had spent a lot of effort in courting me, and that proved he loved me.
On the other hand, his feelings of inferiority stemming from the knowledge that he wasn’t as outstanding as Morgan made him want to conquer me.
Hence, he made himself the alpha in our relationship so that he could feel secure and gain control.

“If you’ve cared about me, you wouldn’t have postponed our wedding eight times, only listened to Megan’s side of the story, and not even believed that my mother is dead.
“Isaac, if you’ve sincerely cared about me, you wouldn’t have used up all 99 chances.

My neck stiffened as I suppressed the anger in my chest.
My words struck Isaac like lightning, and he groveled at my feet.
