"Grace, do you really have to be so aggressive?"
I sneered,
"Of course not. So I'm leaving."
In the past, I would argue with Jason and tell him how Erin sowed discord between us.
He would say that I was targeting Erin and told me not to be so hostile to the women around him. At that time, I just thought he was just being straight, and I would change him one day.
But now I wanted to give up. I didn't even have the mood to talk to Jason.
I left with no hesitation. Jason looked at my back with a strange expression.
That was the first time I hadn't made a scene before him and Erin.
Jason, for the first time ever, left Erin and chased after me.
"How are you doing lately? Did you bring the drug that day?"
It had been a week since my family passed away. If Jason had contacted me or cared about my family's condition, he wouldn't have asked me that now.
But no, he was still being condescending.
I looked at him and asked in a serious tone,
"Jason, do you really love me?"
Jason looked away and said nothing.
The answer was obvious.
I tried to feel my heart, and there was no sadness.
I understood that I no longer loved Jason.
The ten years I spent around him were all in the past. I could finally calmly tell people about it after getting drunk.
"Let's cancel our engagement, Jason."
Refusing to waste any time on him, I just left with these words.
Jason immediately grabbed my hand, and his tone sounded shocked,
"What did you say?"
Without answering him, I just gave him a cold shoulder.
Jason panicked.
"I'm sorry I ignored you last time. From now on, I will send you to the hospital the minute I get the drug. Just stop making a scene here, okay?"
He probably thought that I was just upset about the last time, so he humbled himself for the first time to coax me.
In the past, even ten days ago, I would have been glad to hear that and even consoled him that I was also wrong to be angry with him.
But at that moment, all my hopes were gone, as were seventeen families of mine.
Instead of speaking, I just tried to take my hand from his.
"I'm not making a scene here. In fact, I'm more serious than ever."
Jason was surprisingly strong as if he wanted to break my hand, and there was a sinister look in his eyes.
"Grace, I will pretend not to hear what you said today."
I couldn't stand it anymore.
