When Love Breaks by jack

My heart suddenly felt a pang, as if unexpectedly pricked by something sharp.

I pointed towards the deal with a cold voice. "Get out Mane, where did you get this attitude? Can't we have a proper conversation?

"Were you trying to have a prope! conversation?"

I glared at him defiantly. "What right do you have to criticize me? What about your fiancée? Shouldn't you be with her instead of bothering me?*

"Even drunk, your sharp tongue doesn't dull, does it?*

He tapped his chin thoughtfully, then chuckled lowly, as if resigning to his fate, and squatted down in front of me, his tone softening.

"Alright, I admit I was too hasty and didn't talk nicely. I'll accept the punishment."

I asked subconsciously. "What punishment?"

He raised an eyebrow, playfully suggesting, "Another kiss from you?"

Only then did I notice his ears were flushed red.

Shaking my head, trying to sober up and not let the alcohol cloud my judgment, I looked at him, "Why are you here?"

"To give you an explanation."

I frowned, asking, "Didn't we already clear things up last night?"

"You were the only one who thought things were cleared up."

Gregory poured me a glass of water and after sending a message on his phone, continued, "I've returned her to the Myers family. Jane, even before I said I'd stop waiting for her last night, I had already made up my mind. Call it falling out of love or being a jerk, but I have genuinely fallen for you.

1 pursed my lips. "And if she is?"

"Before coming to you, I had discussed calling off the engagement with Ramona."

He brushed my messy bangs behind my ear, his brown eyes locking on me, "Regardless of the result, I will call it off. Jane, can you trust me this time, hmm?" His tone was his usual casual self.

In the silent room, an inexplicable tension spread.

I quickly avoided his gaze, "Let's talk about this later."

That person, too, had many times asked for my trust.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

He never married Margaret either.

And yet, here we were.

I doubted I could surpass the cherished memory in someone's heart.

Now, it was just him having spent more time with me, a fleeting passion clouding his judgment Once Lilliana started spending more time with him, those childhood promises and fluttering feelings would resurface.

I would just be asking for heartbreak, as Christine said.

Ding dong!

The doorbell suddenly rang. Thinking it was Christine, I went to open the e doon but Gregory stopped me, "I'll get it."

He walked to the door, exchanged a few words of thanks with someone outside, and returned with a box.

He slightly lifted his chin, "Go take a shower."

I glanced at the thing in his hands, not sure what it was my mind racing I

as qlutched my collar tightly.

"I said we'll talk later! And, even though I'm divorced, Gregory, I can't just slee
