Love Slave to My Dev Chapter 479 Back with Him

Chapter 479

Back with Him

“You’re right but I still can’t stop worrying,” I replied followed by a loud sigh.

My mind felt so bogged down with various heavy thoughts as we drove to a nearby hotel. Ace remained silent as if he was giving

ti to recover from the shock. I was thinking of so many things all at once that it made it hard for

to focus. The unbearable feeling of guilt made it very clear to

that I had to do sothing to change the situation before it beca too late. I didn’t like to regret the decisions that I’ve made, but at that mont, I began regretting my choice of moving to the big city and away from ho.

It felt like a necessity at the ti when I was chasing money just to make ends et for both

and my mother. Then it was about chasing my dream career so that I would get to do what I wanted to do with my life. My mother had been nothing but supportive of ever since I was very young, and she was still supportive of

up until today. She never complained and always put

first. Sowhere along the lines, I created too much distance between us while I was too busy chasing my own ambitious dreams.

I started dating Ace and my life beca so entwined with his that in the end, I didn’t have much ti to co ho. Putting the bla on Ace or anything else wasn’t right at all because all I had to bla really was myself. The fear that it might be too late if I delayed my decision any longer was the factor that gave

the last push required for

to make the decision that I should have made quite so ti ago.

“Ace…” I called his na suddenly to get his attention.

“Hmm?” Ace made a curious sound as he kept his eyes on the road.

“Is that offer still on the table?” I asked as I felt my heart beat faster in my chest.

“What offer?” he asked like he wasn’t sure what I was talking about.

“The job offer. The offer for

to join your company. Do you still need soone in design?” I asked before biting on my lower lip.

It did occur to

that since it had been a while, Ace might not be looking for soone for that position anymore. Since his company had just started out and the team size was small, I wasn’t sure if he was still interested in hiring .

“Of course, it is. Are you sure that you’ve thought this through properly?” he asked as he glanced my way.

“I don’t know. I just feel like all of this happened because I was taking too long hesitating,” I replied honestly.

“What happened to your mother is more like an accident. You shouldn’t bla yourself,” Ace reminded

again.

“I don’t know about that. I keep thinking that things might have turned out differently if I had been there or if I had been nearby. I could have helped her or be at her side to support her sooner...” I said sadly.

“Rina. It’s not your fault,” he said firmly.

“Anyways, I think that it might be better if I’m closer to her. If I quit my job and move to work with you then at least, I’ll be closer to her during the day,” I explained what I had in mind.

“That doesn’t sound bad but what about your work at your current job?” Ace asked.

Even though I had been thinking about the tradeoff on and off for so long, the answer didn’t beco so clear to

until that mont.

“I think that I’ll be happier doing what you and your team are doing. Maybe I’ve had enough of the normal traditional comrcials already,” I confessed.

“If you’re sure then you can let

know when you want to start,” he said supportively.

“You don’t sound so surprised with my decision,” I noted.

“Because I’m not. If you want, we should just move to live around here for a while. We’ll be closer to the office and also closer to your mother,” Ace suggested, and it made perfect logical sense.

“Are you sure that you’re fine with that?” I asked.

“Why wouldn’t I be? Honestly, the only reason that we’re still living in the city is because you work there. I don’t want you commuting so far every day when you don’t even have a car,” Ace pointed out.

“But are you really fine with moving?” I asked in disbelief.

I grew up in this neighborhood and I was used to living away from the big city, but I wasn’t sure if the sa could be said about Ace. If we moved, we would no longer be staying at his place either. For a mont I was surprised how relaxed and casual Ace seed to be about this while I considered it to be a big change for us.

“Why not? It’s nice and peaceful out here. We can relax better, and it feels like fewer people are watching our every move. I focus more on work and it’s closer to my office,” he replied smoothly.

“But…” I murmured without knowing what else to say.

“I guess it was the right decision to build the office around here,” Ace said before letting out a soft chuckle.

“Did you foresee this happening or sothing?” I asked curiously.

“Not exactly but I was thinking of moving out of the city for a bit and thought that it might be nice to be close to your mother,” he explained.

“But what if you don’t like it here or if things don’t work out?” I asked worriedly.

“What won’t work out? By the way, I like it here just fine,” he replied confidently.

“If that’s what you say…” I muttered.

I guess he did have many valid points and it seed to make sense. Honestly, I didn’t know what else to say and perhaps that was because there was no need to. Just like that, we made the big decision to move to my old neighborhood.
