Her words were like winter snow extinguishing the flas burning in his heart, and he gazed deeply at her, striving to recover, "Are you talking to out of anger now?"
"I’m not speaking out of anger. You know, I’m not the kind of person who plays hard to get. Every decision I make is well-considered, just as I’ve never regretted burying my own pride to make it up to you before." She gazed at him intently, her voice was light and soft, like leaves drifting in the autumn wind. "Skyler, there was once a chance between us, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was not ant to be." Her clear eyes rippled with a misty haze, and her lips curled up with resolute words, "We’ve missed the opportunity, and there’s no way we can go back now."
The heart, pained to the extre, far surpassing the anguish he felt when he learned of her "betrayal."
Suddenly, he felt his heart in a barren wasteland, no sunny days, no wind or rain, only darkness and loneliness...
There was no way for them to turn back.
Turning around, she walked away with determined steps.
"Christine Quinn!!"
He called out her na and chased after her.
He disregarded everything to turn her around, his dark eyes covered in a layer of mist, "Even if we can’t be a couple, let stay with you in this final mont, okay?"
He had read the diary she left behind and knew how much he had let her down... So, he wouldn’t bla her for her cruel rejection because he was already ntally prepared to face all the hardships.
The most important issue now was, he wanted to stay by her side, he had to stay by her side, he didn’t want to part from her again.
"But I don’t need you." She lowered her long lashes.
"Christine..."
She hung her head, her voice slightly hoarse, "Don’t call by that na..."
"Let be with you... We can temporarily set aside the past, and only be simple friends. I just ask you to let be with you during this mont."
She gently broke away from him, impatiently uttering, "Skyler Jones, I already told you, I don’t need you. Haven’t I been plain enough?"
"I know you’re trying to upset ..."
"I’m not, I’m just telling you the truth from my heart... I don’t care about you anymore, haven’t you understood?" Her voice gradually rose, her impatience increasingly evident.
He looked at her deeply, as if her reaction at this mont was sothing he hadn’t anticipated.
She sighed heavily, adjusting her emotions, and slowly spoke, "If you truly want what’s best for , then let completely break away from the past, let live for myself this ti... At seventeen, I was naive, as long as soone treated well, I thought about following that person wholeheartedly all my life. Now at thirty, I understand how simplistic my thoughts were at seventeen... These missed thirteen years, I exhausted my youth, spent all my energy, always pursuing sothing I could never obtain. Now I’ve finally let go, and after letting go I realize that there are still many wonderful things in this world, and many people worth getting to know anew. I can completely start a new life... Maybe in the past, I still felt guilty towards you, but I’ve already spent thirteen years repaying what I owe you, so now, you don’t owe , and I don’t owe you, we are even. Let’s let the fate between us end here!"
With her eyes closed, he couldn’t discern her thoughts from her eyes, but he could undeniably feel the fatigue in her tone...
Sorrow climbed to the corners of his eyes, "We have Marie, it’s impossible for us to have no intersection at all."
She slowly opened her eyes, looking at him calmly, "So, we don’t need to be enemies; we can be eternal friends."
"I’ve read your diary, and I know you won’t give up so easily. You’re a stubborn person."
"Are you referring to my past infatuation with you?"
"That’s not what I an, I just hope we can consider things rationally... If you’re rejecting because you’re upset over my past actions, I’m willing to wait until your anger dissipates. As long as you can give us another chance, I will show you my remorse, my compensation, and my sincerity. But if what you’re saying now truly cos from your heart and you’ve found soone who can give you warmth and reliance, I won’t force you, because I also hope you have a good life."
