Chapter 239


    Chapter 239 Whose Choice Is It?


    I lifted my head and noticed his bleeding hand. I looked at him, feeling flustered. “I have so many things


    to say, but not like this. I don’t want to beg for love or live in the shadows. I hate ying games and


    maniption. I just want a peaceful life.”


    I looked at the ceiling and continued, “I hate the constant deceit and schemes. If I must choose, I want


    the one who has always been by my side. I don’t want to miss that anymore.”


    they were in


    I knew these words would cut deep into As’s heart. However, to me. Since I


    couldn’t have him, I would let him go. I had no reason to hold onto something that wasn’t mine.


    As looked into my eyes and asked, “Are you sure about your choice?”


    I hesitated, then lowered my head. “Yes.”


    Suddenly, he smiled. “Good, Chloe, you’ve finally made your choice.”


    I looked at him in confusion. I wondered why he said it was my choice when it was his. His thoughts.


    confused me. Why’d he be affectionate with another woman and then me me?


    “It’s great that you dare to live for yourself. Don’t worry. I’ll protect your interests and won’t break our


    cooperation.”


    I stared at him in silence.


    “Go now.” As walked away without looking back. “If you keep looking at me like this, I’ll start thinking


    you can’t bear to leave. Then there will be no turning back for you.”


    His expression was self–deprecating. “Go! I won’t see you off.”


    It seemed he had also decided to let go, just like he had approached me for no reason back then.


    Perhaps As had his reasons. Maybe he was looking for the lost love and the person he couldn’t


    forget. I was just a substitute all along.


    The hallway was eerily silent when I left his room. I couldn’t describe my feelings. I felt relieved, yet


    lost. My heart felt empty and full.

    I couldn’t remember which room I had just left as I stood downstairs. I chuckled to myself before


    heading toward my car. Everything had ended, and I was okay with it. I longed for a deep,


    uninterrupted sleep.


    Back in the car, I felt like a deted balloon. The soft fragrance in the car surrounded me. My legs and


    feet felt weak, and I didn’t want to move. My heart was pounding, but I forced myself to stay awake.


    I started my car and focused on getting home. It was getting dark, and my family was waiting for me.


    My


    mind was hazy, and I drove out of the ce slowly. Hardly any vehicles were on this road, so I stepped


    on


    the gas.


    I gripped the steering wheel, steadled the car, and told myself to hold on until I got home. The


    streetlights came on as the sky turned gray. I noticed a car speeding up behind me. I intended to move


    aside but hit the gas pedal instead.


    Everything seemed to tilt, and the world turned upside down. I felt like I was falling asleep.
