Thomas didn’t take out the diamond ring as he planned last night.
Instead, he said, “Cecilia, we may not be right for each other.”
Cecilia already had a clue that this was what he was going to say.
After all, she was no longer a naive girl.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCecilia couldn’t make a promise because it was unfair to her two children.
It was impossible for her to prevent the children from seeing Mark just so she could pursue her own happiness.
Cecilia didn’t complain. She just kicked the pebble under her foot and nodded slightly.
“I understand. I’ll tell my parents later.”
As Thomas stared at Cecilia, a look of hurt welled in his eyes.
While he was the one who had initiated the breakup, he was disappointed that Cecilia agreed so easily without objection.
Perhaps he could still try and fight for Cecilia.
But at the same time, he also knew that he would never be able to surpass Mark. While the pain he felt right now was torturous, it was better to get it over with as soon as possible rather than drag it out for longer.
Dejected, Thomas got in his car.

He leaned against the door and stared at the gate wistfully.
“Just broke up, huh?” he said.
Cecilia was taken by surprise.
“How did you know?”
Waylen let out an evil laugh as he puffed out a smoke ring. Then, with a sly smile, he said, “I happened to see Thomas just now. I saw him wipe his tears while he was driving.”
At the mention of this, Cecilia’s heart sank. She wanted to open her mouth and say something, but the words never came to her.
“Come here,” Waylen beckoned her.
