Howard Geoffrey looked at her with deep-set eyes, his thin lips relaxed, "Why didn’t you think of coming to tell earlier?"
Rebecca Quentin looked up at Howard Geoffrey again and said honestly, "When I wanted to explain to you, Alice Robinson was already by your side."
Howard Geoffrey squinted his eyes coldly, "Are you blaming now for giving up on our relationship too early and getting involved in another one?"
Rebecca Quentin shook her head vigorously, "No... I don’t have the right to say that to you. After all, I was the one who gave up on our relationship. At that ti, I didn’t think to tell you because I was afraid it would affect the new life you had already started."
"Then why are you telling now?"
"Because your mother ca to see a few days ago. She explained the truth to clearly. I was afraid that even she would misunderstand , and you too would misunderstand, so I had to co and explain... Since we broke up, I’ve treated the grievances of the previous generation as over. I would never pursue it again, so please don’t regard this matter as a burden anymore."
Even if she was not with him, she didn’t want him to see her as such a dark, bad woman...
"You deliberately choose this ti to clear up these misunderstandings, Rebecca Quentin, what are your intentions?"
Rebecca Quentin was taken aback, "What... intentions?"
Howard Geoffrey’s long, black eyes narrowed to a line, questioning her, "Aren’t you hoping that after hearing these words, I’d have the idea of getting back together with you?"
"I..."
Rebecca Quentin was suddenly speechless.
"Do you really think feelings are sothing that can be easily abandoned and then easily returned to you?"
"I didn’t an that..."
Howard Geoffrey’s voice beca aggressive, "If you didn’t an that, you shouldn’t have co to say these words today! You’re quite right; these explanations are no longer significant to . You should wish well in my current new life!"
Rebecca Quentin felt her eyes sting intensely at this mont, tears already welling in her eyes.
Insignificant...
He really said it was insignificant...
Their past, he truly no longer cared about it.
Why was it that this was the result she already knew, but now hearing him say it himself, her heart hurt a thousand tis more than before.
That piercing pain began to spread from her chest...
Rebecca Quentin ultimately held back the urge to cry at this mont. She struggled to speak through the sobs, slowly saying, "I wish you well."
Howard Geoffrey’s face turned extrely cold, "Are you done now?"
Rebecca Quentin nodded.
"I have other things to do, leave."
Rebecca Quentin still nodded, "I’m sorry for disturbing you."
It was almost the mont she turned to leave that her tears uncontrollably flooded out.
Walking out of Howard Geoffrey’s office, Rebecca Quentin covered her mouth and dashed toward the elevator.
She kept pressing the down button, but because she didn’t have the password, the elevator door wouldn’t open.
Rebecca Quentin then leaned against the cold wall beside the elevator, her body slowly sliding down as she let her tears fall unchecked.
She shouldn’t cry, she shouldn’t...
She had already told herself, so why was she losing her composure like this?
His coldness towards her ant that he had truly forgotten their past and started his new life, she should be happy for him, so why did it hurt so much?
She knew...
Actually, the reason she was in such a sorry state was that deep down, she still had a selfish side.
Even though she knew she wasn’t suitable for him and knew that he would be happier and simpler with another woman, she still couldn’t control the little bit of longing in her heart...
Yes, she hoped to see in his eyes the look that he still cared, even though she knew that such thoughts were very, very selfish...
Did he really no longer care about her?
Was it truly over between them?
"If you can graciously wish well, why are you crying here?"
A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.
Already squatting on the ground, Rebecca Quentin abruptly looked up.
In the blurry view, she saw his cold and proud figure. She stood up in a hurry, childishly wiping the tears from her eyes, and tried to maintain her composure as she said, "You misunderstood, it’s the sand that blew into my eyes..."
"Even on such a high floor, there’s sand? It seems my company’s maintenance staff is quite lazy!"
"Yes... yes, I don’t know where the sand ca from." With her back to him, Rebecca Quentin flusteredly pressed the elevator button.
