Chapter 3069
Hayden finally realized that Shelly was not joking.
"Who told you to do this?" Hayden's voice grew colder.
Shelly had always been obedient and compliant, so Hayden believed that someone must have influenced her to break up with him.
"No one. I just realized that the gap between us is too big. Even if we're together now, we won't be happy in the long run," Shelly explained. "Hayden, I'm sure there are many women better than me around you. Try to interact with others more, and you'll see that I'm just an ordinary person who isn't fit to be by your side."
"Nonsense!" Hayden shouted in anger. "Where are you now? We can't discuss this over the phone. Come back, and we'll talk face to face."
"I'm not coming back," Shelly immediately refused without a second thought. "I plan to study abroad and won't be coming back for a while. You are all outstanding, and I want to improve myself."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Can't you study and improve yourself while being with me?" Hayden retorted.
"Even if I improve, I won't reach a level deserving of you," Shelly replied.
"Why would you even think that? You have never said this to me before!" Hayden felt dumbfounded that he was being abandoned for being too great a man. "Hayden, I'm sorry. I know that my actions have disrupted your plans, but I really don't have the courage to continue being with you," Shelly said, choking on tears. Hayden grew furious and hung up.
Eliam entered the office carrying lunch and noticed the solemn expression on Hayden's face. "Mr. Tate, what's wrong?"
"Shelly broke up with me. We had plans for our parents to meet tomorrow, but she canceled it without even asking for my opinion on the matter," Hayden explained. Confused, Eliam placed the lunch on the desk and asked, "Why would she do that? I thought she really liked you."
"She said she's not worthy of me. She thinks she's not worthy, so she wants to keep her distance from me. Am I that terrifying?" Hayden's confidence was deeply shaken.
Eliam consoled him. "Mr. Tate, this is
definitely not your fault. Shelly
seems like an optimistic person.
Why is her mindset so negative?net
Since she insists on breaking
just go along with it. She will surely regret it later."
"My parents already treat her like their daughter-in-law. I don't know how to explain this to them," Hayden said.
"Don't say anything," Eliam advised.
"If you say anything, it will seem like you abandoned her. Proceed with the meeting between your parents tomorrow as planned. Bring her parents as well, so they will know that it was Shelly's decision. That way, your parents won't suspect it's your fault."
The next day, Shelly's and Hayden's parents sat in the reserved private room.
"Hayden, where's Shelly? Why are you here alone?" Avery asked.
Hayden sat down next to Avery and turned to look at Shelly's parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, has Shelly informed you of her decision?"
The two shook their heads. "What decision?"
Mrs. Taylor took out her phone and noticed a message sent from Shelly. Upon reading the message, she gasped in shock. "What's going on?! Shelly said she is not coming and is breaking up with you."
"Not only is she breaking up with me,
she is giving up on custody of the twins as well. I've brought you here to clarify the issue, and I want you to ask her about this. Out of
consideration for the twins, /pel. n
willing to give her another chance. If she comes back now, I can pretend like this never happened, "Hayden. said.
