She smiled faintly. âReally, I donât blame you because you never lied to me.â She knew since the beginning that he had another woman in his heart.
He had also clarified that he did not love her when they started dating.
In that case, how could she expect him to run to her first when she and Grace were both in trouble?
Brian pressed his thin lips tightly, his uneasiness growing.
Valda Theller quietly watched the person in front of her as she gently lifted her fingers and touched his brow, nose bridge, and eventually his lips.
Everyone said men with thin lips were heartless.
However, Brian was not heartless. He had just given all his feelings to another woman.
Valda Theller laughed at herself and said to Brian, âI said before that I wouldnât do anything too intimate like kissing you until you had fallen in love with me, but I want to take that back. Can I?â, Brian froze. What she said was out of his expectation.
Then, she put her hands gently around his neck, pulled him down slightly, and tiptoed to kiss himâ¦
âBrian, Iâm sorry.â
âIâm sorry Iâm breaking my promise.
âIâm sorry. I said Iâd try to make you fall in love with me, but itâs not going to happen now.â
Valda Theller closed her eyes and put all her affection into the kiss.
She never thought she could be with a man like him. She loved him, and the love unknowingly deepened until it scared her.
The more she loved him, the more disappointed she was when she saw him turn away.
It was upsetting for her to learn that he left her because of Grace.
Perhaps that was what loving someone was all about. The more you loved someone, the more you were forced to endure.
Then perhaps you would lose yourself one day.
When the kiss ended, Valda Theller slowly released her hands and opened her eyes.
She caught sight of his beautiful dark phoenix eyes. They were so stunning.
His thin lips spoke softly, âWhy did you apologize? I should be the one apologizing to you.â
âIâm apologizing because I canât love you anymore.â Valda Theller took a deep breath before smiling and saying, âBrian, letâs break up.â
His heart sank as he felt his limbs freezing. The icy sensation continued to sweep through his body, and his blood seemed to freeze quickly.
âYou want to break up?â He almost squeezed the words through his teeth.
âYes,â she answered affirmatively.
âWhy?â He stared at her. âDonât you love me? Donât you want my love too? If youâre upset about what happened today, I can apologize and make it up to you any way you want!â
His tone was so eager as if an indescribable panic was running through him.
Valda Theller said, âI donât need you to make it up to me. I just donât think I can love you anymore. I think itâll be better for us to break up.â
âWhat do you mean itâll be better for us?â He did not find it better. âAlso, do you think you canât love me anymore? So you donât love 1907 121dnu me anymore?â
