Chapter 1547
Felicity had made up her mind.
The reason she could sit here so calmly, discussing this with him, was simply...
Miles hadn't really done anything wrong.
Including visiting Esther at the hospital, it was a natural human reaction, not something blameworthy.
It was just who Miles was: a by-the-book guy who always insisted on doing the right thing, taking responsibility.
Just like with his daily work, if the code was supposed to be one way, then that was the only way it could be; mistakes or substitutions were unacceptable.
And she, she had always cherished her freedom.
Perhaps because she was still young, she craved love and romance over marching straight into marriage, settling down to domestic life.
If it were about suitability, she wasn't even as good a match for him as Esther was.
"Felicity, we're just one step away from getting married. Do you really want to break up over this?" Miles tried to stay as calm as possible, hoping to communicate effectively, maybe... she was just momentarily upset, "I swear to you, there's nothing between Esther and me! This visit to the hospital, it was mainly because I felt guilty."
He knew that breaking up with Esther so abruptly was harsh.
Miles's mind was a mess at the time; he thought cutting ties swiftly was the best solution-to end things with Esther and not to string her along.
Esther's suicide attempt was beyond everyone's anticipation.
He genuinely felt it was his responsibility, his duty to say sorry and cover the medical expenses.
At the hospital, Miles had made it crystal clear, getting back with Esther was out of the question.
But he wouldn't run away from his responsibilities.
"I never doubted anything between you and Esther."
"So you..."
"Langston, planning the wedding with you recently, coming home together at night, it felt really good. It made me genuinely look forward to married life! That's what made me overlook our incompatibilities," Felicity said softly, sighing, "Today's incident was like a cold splash of water, making me realize the significant differences between us that have always been there."
Miles's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
After a few seconds of silence, she stood up from the bench.
"Let's stop here, and not let the mistake continue."
Felicity withdrew her hand, ready to leave.
Behind her, he paused, then followed her again!
"If you tell what's wrong, I can changel Don't call off the w
break up..." Content b
Not only did Felicity enjoy their time together recently, but he did too!
Being able to hold her hand on the way home, sit together for meals hear her crack a few jokes, and occasionally act coy, it made Miles feet blissful and content.
He didn't want this to end.
Felicity felt she had said all there was to say.
No matter what Miles said, she had no intention of continuing their relationship.
Suddenly.
Felicity spoke softly.
"Langston."
"Tell me, I'm listening."
"Do you know what Calvin would do in this situation?"
Miles's handsome face stiffened, "..."
"He wouldn't have gone, he might not even know about it! Because once he breaks up, Calvin deletes alt contact with his exes! You see this as totally irresponsible, right? But as the current girlfriend, that's exactly what I'd prefer."
Breaking up meant cutting ties completely.
