Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse

Book2 Chapter32.

Leo, who had been sitting across the room, suddenly switched seats with the person next to me and took the spot beside me.

He stared at Rolin's shirt draped over my legs for what felt like an eternity before finally asking, "Beth, can I ask you something?"

I nodded.noveldrama

"Do you still like me?"

I glanced at Leo's flushed face and the slight moisture in his eyes before quietly answering, "Yes."

He froze for a moment, then, as if grasping at hope, he reached out and grabbed my shoulders. "If you still like me, can we get back together?"

I shook my head. "I do still like you, Leo, but it's not the same kind of thing anymore."

"Why? Please, tell me." His voice cracked with desperation.

"I will give you everything! Luna's no longer with the company. I even went back home to get our household registration book. We can get married now, buy a bigger house —I'I even set up a room just for your paintings. I can help you start your own brand..."

He still didn't get it; I've found something more important to love- myself.

As he spoke, it reminded me of how he used to listen to my plans, weaving beautiful dreams. But now, those dreams no longer align with mine.

"What you're offering, it's beautiful, Leo, but it's no longer what I need."

He habitually frowned, still insistently looking at me.

"I don't need any of it anymore."

I sighed softly, feeling the weight of the words. Love, when it comes too late, is no longer love.

"Leo, stop being unreasonable."

"You're part of my past now."

My future doesn't include you. It's time to move on for both of us.
