The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1676

I looked at Andrew, searching for any sign of inconsistency.

Andrew met my gaze.

After a long moment, he sighed and said, “Debra, you truly don’t see your own beauty and worth.

”

I was left speechless, not sure what to say.

I had a feeling Andrew still wasn’t being completely honest; it seemed like he was hiding something.

But what could it be?

Then, it hit me.

Andrew seemed very interested in the mixed-blood witch, Gale!

That scarred guard had mentioned that Gale was very powerful, even causing a great war in which I had participated.

Could it be that Gale’s story was somehow connected to my identity, and Andrew was interested in it because of that?

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

But because it was such a delicate matter, I couldn’t just come out and ask.

After thinking it over carefully, I said, “Andrew, I’m sorry.

Although I’ve ended things with Caleb, I haven’t moved on yet.

There’s still a place for him in my heart.

It wouldn’t be fair to you if I rushed into anything with you.

”

Debra’s POV:

“It’s okay,” Andrew murmured gently, his eyes brimming with tender affection.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he declared, “It’s natural for you to still have feelings for Caleb after the separation.

But trust me, I’ll help you move past him.

In time, I’ll be your husband, unwavering and devoted.

”

To ease my worries, he even suggested, “The witch clan possesses secret spells capable of casting unbreakable bonds.

If you fear betrayal, you could bind me with one of these spells.

I’d be unable to betray you, even if I wanted to.

”

I lapsed into silence.

I had to concede that Andrew was undeniably skilled in the art of sweet persuasion.

His demeanor was kind, gentlemanly, and empathetic.

If our love were genuine and we took the leap into marriage, he might prove to be a worthy companion.

Yet, I still hesitated.

Regardless of Andrew’s sincerity or his affection for me, I couldn’t bring myself to use him as a rebound from Caleb.

It was a matter of principle.

Therefore, I asserted firmly, “No, it wouldn’t be fair to you.

I can’t agree.

Besides, I don’t wish to exploit your kindness.

If there’s a future for us, it must be when my heart is free.

”

Deep down, I doubted we would end up together.

My refusal was a delay tactic, a means to navigate the present turmoil.

As anticipated, Andrew’s lips twitched into a rueful smile at my resolute refusal, and he sighed resignedly.

“Alright if that’s your decision, I won’t insist.

I respect your decision.

”

His words echoed understanding, but beneath the surface, I sensed his disappointment, a trace of sorrow lingering in his gaze.
