“Why?”
His breathing was ragged.
“You always wanted me to marry you, didn’t
you? I’m willing now, and I won’t change my mind.”
“It’s not going to happen. Some things can’t be changed.”
In my past life, I tried everything.
But it all turned to shit.
Some people can be friends, confidants, but never lovers.
That’s Quinn and me.
I looked up, and our eyes met.
Seeing the hurt in his eyes, I was stunned.

Seeing the hurt in his eyes, I was stunned.
I’d never seen such a wounded expression on Quinn’s face.
“So, you were just messing with me when you were crying and begging me to marry you?”
“Think what you want.”
I didn’t plan to explain.
It was best to let him believe that, so he could move on and be with the person he truly loved.
“Quinn, I was being unreasonable in the past. I apologize. Let’s not see each other again.”
I grabbed Luke’s arm. He immediately understood, and turned us around.
Before getting into the car, I couldn’t help but
look back.

He was still standing there, staring at me.
I felt a pang of regret.
But I turned and got into the car.
I knew that even if we got married, we’d only be
like the unhappy couple we were in my past life.
But I didn’t expect Quinn to stay.
The next day, I went downstairs and saw a familiar figure.
Quinn was sitting in a chair, his eyes red- rimmed, like he hadn’t slept all night.
He stood up quickly when he saw me.
“What are you doing here?”
I asked.

“I…”
He was tired.
“I just wanted to see you.”
“I’m fine. Go back home and take care of
Scarlett. She’s your wife.”
“I didn’t marry her.”
I was stunned.
“Then you have nothing to do with me. Don’t worry, you’ve already repaid the Song family for my parents‘ kindness.”
But after that, I saw him there every time I went downstairs.
I was getting annoyed.

“Go home! I can’t be with you if you’re here!”
He sat there, arms crossed, looking dejected.
“I won’t bother you. I just… want to see you.”
His puppy–dog eyes looked up at me.
Finally, I nodded, and he stood up and left.
Later, he didn’t show up in the lobby anymore.
But a Ferrari appeared outside the apartment building.
Every time I passed by, I saw him sitting in the
car.
He looked at me with a heartbroken expression.
I was getting a headache.
Why was he chasing after me after one of us
had given up?
I knocked on his car window.
“Go home. I can’t go back with you if you’re
here.”
