Jane, you’re right, I’m just a vain man.
I don’t not love you, but I can’t let myself live like this for the rest of my life.
I don’t love Eden Howard, there’s nothing to love about that unruly, ill-tempered heiress.
But the conditions her family provides could make everything go smoothly for in Anchester.
People always aim for higher places; just as water flows downwards.
I still love you, seeing you still moves my heart, but I can’t let myself continue this way.
I want a beautiful future; I’m fed up with living a life of destitution.
Setting up a date to buy a movie ticket and still worrying about which group deal is cheaper.
Even having lunch ans looking for coupons first.
Tell the truth, are you not sick of this kind of life?
You said we could save up together to buy a house, but deep down you must realize, considering the current housing prices in Anchester.
Even if we got married, we could never afford to own our own house.
I can’t let myself live like this, and I can’t drag you down because of .
I know I’ve hurt you and I have no right to say these things, but please, can you just humor this ti?
Jane Quinlan’s eyes were sowhat teary; this was the first ti he has spoken to her candidly since their breakup.
Before, he always said that he no longer had feelings for her, that he fell in love with Eden Howard.
How excellent Eden is and how good her personality was.
But she has never understood what she did wrong to be suddenly cheated on and dumped.
Even for the sake of her cousin’s face, she had never confronted him angrily.
Listening to him today made her heart truly ache.
And what hurt her the most was her failure to see his true nature.
She had always thought that Xavier was a man of principle.
After all, he always acted like soone who considered money as worthless as dirt.
But she never imagined that he too was such a worldly man.
In the process of betraying her, he didn’t even give her the chance to choose.
If he had cared to ask her, she would have told him that she was willing to endure hardships with him, even if they didn’t have a house.
But now... she was glad that this person had let go of her hand early on.
They had different values after all, and entering into marriage would not necessarily bring happiness.
She sniffed, biting her lip, thankfully they broke up at the right ti, without holding each other back.
She pulled her wrist out of his palm and looked at him with calm eyes.
"Now I don’t know how much I can believe what you’ve said.
But regardless of whether your words just now were sincere, I have a piece of advice for you.
Xavier, please be genuine when it cos to feelings.
And also, make sure to remove from your heart.
Because there is no longer a place for you in my heart.
I won’t quit this job, and I won’t make any compromises for soone I no longer care about.
I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with your problem anymore."
Having said that, she extracted her hand and left.
Little Hua, carrying a food container, walked into Kay Forrest’s office and looked puzzled: "Where’s Jane Quinlan?"
After their last conversation, Little Hua no longer felt Director Forrest was an outsider.
She stepped forward and said, "Jane was called away by that Xavier."
"Xavier?" Kay Forrest looked up at her.
"Yeah, just now when we ca back from lunch, Xavier stopped us and said he wanted to talk to Jane Quinlan."
"So Jane Quinlan went with him?" What a fool.
"Jane Quinlan said she was curious about what trick he was going to play."
Kay Forrest frowned and waved his hand dismissively: "Okay, I got it. It’s been tough on you to bring dinner."
"Director Forrest, you’re being too kind, I’ll leave you to it."
After Little Hua left, Kay Forrest was about to go out without even bothering with his al, but just then Eden Howard ca over: "Director Forrest, are you going out? I’d like to take advantage of the lunch break to discuss sothing with you if that’s okay?"
