Her eyes were red now. Gritting her teeth, she looked at Chris with her exquisite face, and her usually delicate voice hardened determinedly as she said, âTell him to stop the car. If not, Iâll jump!â
Chris looked at her. In a soft, coaxing voice, he cooed, âAnnie, close the door. We can discuss everything else later.â
Did Annie not know him well enough?
He probably thought she wouldnât dare to let go.
Annie smiled, but it didnât reach her eyes. âYouâre thinking that I wonât do it, right? Alright, Iâll do it for you, then!â
She looked out of the car door. The car wasnât going at a fast speed but it still looked scary.
She didnât know what would happen after she jumped.
She had been afraid of pain since childhood. Moreover, her skin was soft and fragile, and the consequences of falling down would likely be terrible.
However, she didnât have the time to mull things over.
After her speech, Annie held the sides of the door, took a deep breath, and throwing caution to the wind, prepared to jump.
Chrisâ expression turned dark. Swiftly, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back, and closed the door with a loud thud.
âAre you crazy!â
âStop caring about me! Chris, you lied to me! You broke your promise! Iâm disappointed in you!â Annie pounded on his chest, trying to get him to let her go.
âIâm more disappointed in you! You just tried to throw your life away for that Ye Sijue! How long have you known him for? You donât even have half a brain!â Chris howled at her.
âThatâs between him and me. What has it got to do with you!â Annie spoke in a measured voice as she glared at him.
Chris reminded her, âWhat has it got to do with me? Donât forget that weâre about to be engaged.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Annie pursed her lips. She looked like she had finally come to a decision and met his eyes. âIâm sorry, but I canât be engaged to you anymore. Iâm⦠canceling the engagement and Iâm willing to bear any consequences from it.â
Ye Sijue had done so much for her and was even unafraid to die for her.
She would be useless if she couldnât even cancel an engagement!
Moreover, everything that had happened the previous night made her recognize her emotions. She now clearly understood that she couldnât lose Ye Sijue. If she couldnât be together with him, she would spend the rest of her life as a zombie, never able to feel happiness again.
Xiaoxiao was right. Humans should be a little selfish and seek their own happiness instead of undermining themselves to accommodate others.
She decided to follow her heart.
Annie thought that Chris would be furious at her words, but he didnât look angry.
Chris only sighed. His expression looked a little complicated, and she couldnât read what he was thinking.
He looked at her and said, âAnnie, Ye Sijue failed to protect you. He has lost all right to be by your side.â
âWhat right do you have to say that!â Annie shoved his hand away and said angrily, âDo you know that he was bitten by the snake because he was trying to protect me? Do you know that he injured his arm and lost so much blood because he was trying to shield me? Also, he got a fever because he was trying to save me! What have you ever done for me?â
Chris frowned and said severely, âIâm not referring to how much he has done for you, but that he has no ability to protect you well! Thatâs the most important thing. If he canât protect you, how can I give you away without worries?â
