I would Never See the Guy I had Loved for Years

Kylee Brooks knelt between Kenney Walsh's legs as she had done countless times before and awkwardly tried to satisfy him.

At the moment of passion, Kenney abruptly pushed her away and wheeled himself into the bathroom.

He murmured, "Ruth..."

Kylee was long used to this and turned to fetch his medicine.

She had pursued Kenney for nine years and knew well that he was aloof.

When she went to deliver the medicine, she found the bedroom door slightly ajar.

Kenney's wheelchair was parked at the door, empty.

Kenney pinned Ruth in front of him, and his eyes were blurred as he whispered in her ear, "Ruth, you are mine. You should have been my woman long ago. We depend on each other to become who we are today. I've stayed in a wheelchair to avoid having sex with Kylee. Can't you see how much I love you?"

Kylee was stunned and then suddenly realized something.

Ruth was Kenney's sister-in-law.

She was two years older than Kenney, with a voluptuous figure.

She had lived as a widow for ten years.

She had been married to Kenney's older brother when the latter was in poor condition. Unfortunately, he had died on their wedding night.

The entire Walsh family cursed Ruth as a bad omen.

They wanted to kick her out of the family, but Kenney stood firm against others, although he was only sixteen years old.

No one dared to go against him, and they agreed to let Ruth stay with the Walsh family.

"But... you are already married to Kylee," Ruth murmured, biting her lip and sobbing quietly.

"We both know that it was just a cover for us that I got married to her," Kenney replied hoarsely. Then he kissed her lips.

So Kenney had loved Ruth but couldn't marry her. He remained faithful to her, stood up for her, and even married Kylee to mask their relationship.

Kylee silently went downstairs, as tears streamed down her face.

She found the divorce papers and signed her name.

Looking at both of the names on the papers, she let out a mocking laugh.

The divorce papers had been signed by Kenney when they got married, and it had been the Brooks family's sole demand and now her only leverage.

Kylee clenched the hem of her dress tightly.

After the divorce procedure was completed, she would have no ties to Kenney.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps.

Ruth was pushing Kenney downstairs.

He sat in the wheelchair, and his suit was slightly wrinkled. There were faint lip marks near his lips.

"Kylee, it's about time. Why haven't you given Kenney his medicine?" Ruth frowned unhappily, and her voice was vibrant. She seemed to be satisfied after she and Kenney had done it. "What if the car accident leaves him with lasting effects?" She took the prepared medicine from Kylee and patiently fed it to Kenney.

He obediently took it, and his eyes were tenderly fixed on her. He looked so joyful.

Their affection made Kylee feel like an outsider.

She took a deep breath. How stupid she had been!

How had she never noticed Ruth especially cared about Kenney before?

After helping Kenney take the medicine, Ruth handed the bowl to Kylee.

As Kylee reached to take it, Ruth smirked coldly and released it before Kylee caught it.

The bowl shattered instantly on the floor.

"Kylee, I merely blamed you a little, and you..." Ruth pouted and looked pitifully at Kenney.

He was worried that Ruth might be hurt and hurried over to check her hands. After ensuring she was unhurt, he looked up at Kylee coldly.

Kylee, how can you be so reckless? Clean up this mess!"

He didn't even ask what had happened and instinctively sided with Ruth.

Kylee was extremely disappointed as she crouched to gather the shards.

A piece cut her hand.

But Kylee didn't feel any pain as she saw her finger bleeding.

After all, Kenney had hurt Kylee too many times over the years.

Everyone in the city knew that Kylee was Kenney's childhood friend and his most loyal admirer.

Their families were well-matched, and they had known each other since they were kids.

Kylee believed that they were destined to be together.

So she pursued him for nine years. She braved storms to deliver him medicine, learned to cook for him, and even used all of her savings to buy a necklace he said he liked casually.

Although Kenney had repeatedly refused her, she never minded it.

She loved him with unwavering devotion.

When Kenney was sixteen, his parents passed away in an accident.

Facing covetous other family members, Kenney became even more ruthless.

In business, he became colder and more heartless. He retaliated fiercely against his enemies to the extreme.

Yet, Kenney fell in love with Ruth at first sight.

He said her resilience was beautiful, like a solitary plum blossom, while Kylee was just an ordinary plant who shamelessly pestered him.

He kept her at home, and they supported each other.

A month ago, Kenney was in a car accident due to someone's revenge.

Kylee couldn't bear seeing him injured and tirelessly took care of him.

She dozed off by his hospital bed, only to see his gentle gaze upon her after she woke up.

"Kylee, let's get married," he said.

She thought she had finally touched him. But now she realized that he feared gossip ruining Ruth's reputation back then, so he married Kylee to protect Ruth.

Using his leg injury as an excuse, he never touched Kylee.

When Kylee had a desire while helping him, he frowned and pushed her away. "Kylee, it's dirty..." Then he went to the bathroom to handle things himself.

Kylee had once felt smug, as she believed that he did that because she cared for her.

Now she understood that he refused to have sex with her because of Ruth.

Coming back to her senses, Kylee shakily stood up and booked herself a flight abroad.

After the divorce procedure was finished, she would leave and would never see Kenney again.

Kylee went to her room that evening to pack her belongings.

Kenney had always been distant toward her. Plus, he refused to have sex due to Ruth.

So, Kylee directly moved to the guest room, giving Ruth more room.

Kenney was in his study, massaging his temples with a sigh.

He looked up and happened to see Kylee carrying her luggage.

"What are you doing?" He said coldly and impatiently. "Kylee, just because I asked you to clear up the broken pieces, you're moving back to your parents' place?"

Kylee's shoulders trembled after she heard his words.

She wanted to say she was giving Ruth more room, but she couldn't say it loud.

She had loved him for nine years...

After a moment, she finally said, "I've been having trouble sleeping lately. I thought I'd be more comfortable in the guest room."

Kylee's aloof demeanor was indeed unusual.

Normally, she would seize any chance to talk to Kenney. But Kenney didn't think much of her unusual demeanor.

Kylee loved him so dearly and had a limited social circle. So she could do nothing.

His attitude softened as he took her hand and kissed it gently. "Kylee, Ruth has had a tough time over the years. I've witnessed her suffer. Please be considerate and let her have her way."

Kenney had always been like that. He gently asked Kylee to be tolerant of Ruth. Kylee would usually seize the opportunity to nestle into his embrace and nod obediently.

But she felt a piercing heartache this time.

Without a word, she took her hand back and walked away.

Kenney frowned with displeasure and shook his head at her retreating figure. "She is pampered..."

Kylee had just managed to settle her things when the door swung open.

Kenney entered in his wheelchair. His face darkened, and his eyes were gloomy.

Kylee was puzzled. He never came to her, so it was unusual to see him there.

However, Kylee soon understood the situation as she saw Ruth behind him.

"Kenney, forget it. If Kylee wants to take it to vent, it's fine," Ruth said, feigning magnanimity.

Kenney looked serious. "Kylee, have you gone too far? Hand over Ruth's bracelet immediately. It was a gift from her parents."

Kylee was stunned.

She had never been to Ruth's room and didn't even know about a bracelet.

"Kenney, it must be a misunderstanding. I've never taken her bracelet." Kylee emptied all her pockets to prove her innocence.

Seeing Kenney hesitate, Ruth quickly stepped forward. "Kylee, I saw you take it from my handbag with my eyes. I've already been so tolerant of you. Why are you lying?"

In an instant, Kylee understood the venomous look in Ruth's eyes.

"Kylee, just return it. It's a gift from my family. I know you dislike me, but..." Ruth's tears fell, and her face was pale. She looked utterly aggrieved.

Kenney clenched his jaw and said through gritted teeth, "Kylee, since you're not being honest, I'll have the servants search for the bracelet in your room."

Kylee looked at Kenney, and she was about to say something. "Kenney, do you really not know who is lying?"

He turned his head away impatiently and gestured. Then two servants immediately entered Kylee's room.

They made her room a mess, although she had just tidied it.

"Kylee must have hidden it!" Ruth pointed at Kylee with tears in her eyes. "Kylee, just give it to me. I was wrong. I shouldn't have accused you..."

Ruth clung to Kenney's arm and said, "Kenney, since she dislikes me so much, maybe I'd better move out."

His body tensed instantly, and anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry. I'm here." His voice was unusually low. Then he looked up. "Go outside and get down on your knees. You'll be allowed to get up after you hand it over."

Kylee was quickly dragged into the garden, and her knees buckled under a forceful kick. She was forced to kneel down.

The torrential rain pounded down, making her fail to open her eyes. It soaked her thin dress.

She shivered from the cold, and her lips turned pale. Her face turned ashen with despair.

In a daze, she noticed the lights in Kenney's room on the second floor.

The storm raged outside, while inside, passion ran high.

Two intertwined figures moved to the window. They did it behind the curtain.

Ruth's hand even pressed against the window. She seemed to be taunting Kylee.

Witnessing that scene, Kylee was completely depressed.

She could almost hear their heavy breathing.

He pretended his legs hadn't healed, and Kylee looked for specialists for him. Back then, he must be doing the same thing in his room with Ruth.

Ironically, Kylee often changed into nightwear and hoped to help Kenney regain his sexual ability during that time. She was coldly pushed away each time.

She lowered her head, and tears silently mingled with the rain.

It turned out that he had desires, just not for Kylee.

A long time passed before Kenney and Ruth stopped, and the lights went out.

"Did you see how much Kenney loves me?" Ruth went downstairs in a nightdress. Her neck was adorned with kiss marks.

She leaned against the doorframe and smiled brightly.

Suddenly, Kylee's pupils constricted sharply.

Ruth was wearing the silk nightdress Kylee's parents bought for Kylee.

The cold rain felt like ice piercing Kylee's chest. As suffocation overcame her, Ruth pinned Kylee.

"Kylee, stop pretending. I saw you at the door delivering medicine earlier." Thunder cracked, illuminating Ruth's twisted face like a ghost. "Since you saw everything, I might as well tell you the truth. Don't you realize your situation? You're nothing but a joke to Kenney." Kenney and I have been close since we were kids. We rely on each other in the family. He can only sleep peacefully in my arms. He even learned racing for me because he thinks he would save me as soon as possible. Even when he had a high fever, he called my name. Do you think you can compete with me?"

Kylee lowered her eyes and felt herself utterly ridiculous.

She had taken care of Kenney when he was unconscious.

During those days, as he burned with fever, he muttered something.

Kylee foolishly thought he was calling her and had been happy for days. How stupid she was!

Seeing her dejected look, Ruth crossed her arms and looked down at her smugly. "Kylee, you're a brazen woman. Kenney always told me about a clingy admirer who chased him relentlessly. So I just wanted to teach you a lesson. You have to keep in line. What happened today is just a taste of what's to come."

Kylee's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She had always been fragile.

Listening to Ruth's words, she was heartbroken.

She clenched the hem of her dress and fought off nausea as she stood.

Seeing that, Ruth rushed over emotionally and slapped Kylee. "You bitch, how dare you leave?"

Kylee frowned at Ruth, but in her daze, Ruth's figure seemed unclear.

Kylee's ears buzzed, and dizziness overwhelmed her.

"Are you pretending, are you? You must be on your knees!" Ruth pressed down on Kylee's shoulders, and the former's face was twisted. "Kneel down, you brazen woman!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway. "What are you doing?"

It was Kenney. Kylee always remembered his voice.

She couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, fainting.

Before losing consciousness, she vaguely saw Kenney running over in a panic.

He looked nervous.

He even forgot to pretend his legs were still injured.
