He was shocked. His eyes were red.
He couldn’t believe that I would leave him.
I said calmly, “That’s right, Connor. Our
wedding was called off half a year ago. There
is a wedding, but it’s not with you.”
Connor was like a wild dog that had lost its
leash.
<
“No, no. Grace, tell me it’s fake. It’s fake.”
“Tell me you are mad. Tell me you are joking.
I will forgive you!”
Forgive? At this moment, he was still
forgiving me.
I started laughing. I was mocking him.
“Why would I ask for your forgiveness? For
abandoning me and going to the mountain
with Willow?”
“For hurting me after you indulged her?”
“Connor, don’t you know what you did to
me?”
I was being emotional. My tears started
But crying for him was not worth it.
Connor listened.
“Grace, I…”
“Willow and I aren’t like you think…”
I knew.
Connor might have had some feelings for her,
but his morality would take over.
But that was still his favoritism.
Connor loved Willow too much. He even
managed to control his desire for her.
I smiled bitterly. I was just a tool for them.
“Connor, it’s over.”
I was determined. Connor grabbed my wrist.
His fingers were cold.
“No. You have to listen to me…”
“Our wedding is cancelled. Your parents
agreed. You don’t need to say anything.”
I assumed that his hesitation was because of
the connection between our families.
So, I will make it clear. “My parents returned
all the projects that we worked on together.”
“All the profits belong to your family.”
“There is nothing between us anymore.”
Г
Connor said nothing.
What was he supposed to say?
He had never seen me this angry.
He didn’t think that I would cut off every
connection between us.
Connor left alone.
I don’t know where he went.
But I knew, we were done.
Stacy wanted to comfort me, but I shook my
head.
I didn’t care, so there was no need to feel
bad
く
I did not return to the house that night.
Connor bought the house for our marriage. It
had nothing to do with me.
I should move out.
I packed all my things.
Connor didn’t notice.
I moved into Stacy’s place.
I asked my family’s bodyguard to get my
stuff.
Connor blocked them from entering the
house.
“Is Grace not coming back?”
<
Connor asked. He didn’t know if I would come
back.
But he thought that, maybe, there was still a
chance.
“Miss said, she packed her things, and we will
take them.”
Packed?
Connor could not believe it.
He ran upstairs. He saw my suitcases in my
room.
My closet was empty.
My makeup table was empty.
<
He had been in the room before.
When did everything disappear?
So, I wanted to leave for a long time?
He had been reflecting on what he did.
He knew he hurt me.
But he only saw Willow as a kid.
He was supposed to marry me.
He wanted to make up for his actions.
But I didn’t give him a chance.
Tomorrow was Saturday.
<
I was going to marry Jake.
No, this can’t happen.
He had to stop it.
