Chapter 88. Please Rest

Clint looked at her and kept silent for a while. Then he picked up the checks again. “All right, I will take the money. Yes, we may not meet again. My parents will retire to Australia, and I’ll probably move SSGB to Wall Street.”

“This is all my fault. If I hadn’t made the decision two years ago to marry you, you’d be living a happy and peaceful life right now, married to Austin. I now realize my mistake, and I’m going to fix it. I want you to live the normal life you deserve.”

From his voice, it was clear that he was holding back tears, but he continued, “Austin is a good man, and his company is promising. You two make a perfect match.”

They had lived together for some time. But they were both used to hiding their true emotions. So they lived together without showing each other their true, vulnerable selves.

They were not brave enough in love.
