Chapter 2174 Turning to leave, Lina felt Edwin's hand on hers.
“I just want to see her,” he implored.
Lina shook her head gently.
“It’s better to end it completely. It's best for both of you.” She then opened the door and stepped inside, leaving Edwin alone with his thoughts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStanding there, Edwin felt a sense of loss. He pondered why, after his true identity was revealed, he felt compelled to see her. Was it to explain? To offer comfort? What purpose would it serve? Edwin was a man who always acted with intention, but this time, his actions seemed to defy his usual Logic.
He knew coming here might jeopardize the blind date, yet he felt compelled to see Laura.
It was an impulse he couldn't resist, a deviation from his usual calculated behavior.
Upstairs, Laura stood by the window, silently observing the scene below.
She saw Edwin's arrival, his confrontation with Lina, and the emotional slap.
She remained there, not descending to join them.
The reality of the situation was a painful realization.
She felt as if she had been repeatedly slapped, her emotions a tangled mix of shame and embarrassment. But life would go on, and she had to carry her pain alone.
Now she realized Edwin's actions were mere retribution.
Ultimately, he would choose someone of his social standing to marry and start a family with.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVanessa, the woman who had admired her designs, seemed to be the one.
They appeared to be a good match. For Laura, there was no longer any question of holding on. The entire relationship, from start to finish, seemed nothing more than a play of revenge, perhaps with a touch of amusement to Edwin.
What was the point in clinging to something that was never meant to be? Letting the curtain close, Laura moved to her desk and picked up her medication, swallowing it without water.
The bitterness was a stark reminder-she needed to be clear-headed.
She couldn't allow herself to get entangled with Edwin any further.
Despite this resolution, tears of sorrow and humiliation streamed down her cheeks. The shame might haunt her for years, but eventually, she would move past it.
Her phone then rang, displaying an unfamiliar number. It took her a moment to recognize it as Edwin's.
