Chapter 1088 My Son Isn’t Lucky
"It seems like he only recognizes you now." Ariel shot her a meaningful gaze.
Narissa looked at Jamie sadly. "If only this had happened earlier… But it's too late now."
"What are your plans?" Ariel asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Of course, I'm talking about your relationship. Are you planning to continue the silent treatment with Jamie when he's better?"
Before leaving, Danny was worried about his good friend's relationship. Also, Elise and Alexander had a close relationship with Jamie and Narissa, so they wouldn't just stand by and watch their relationship fall apart.
Since they weren't there, Ariel had to take on the role of mediator.
"It won't happen. We've already broken up." Narissa's expression became more serious.
"Did Jamie agree to it?"
"No."
"Then, it's not up to you to decide," Ariel stated. "Relationships involve two people. It started with both of you and should end the same way."
"If the relationship has soured, is there any need to follow the rules?" Narissa didn't want to go against her principles.
"If I'm not mistaken, Jamie was drugged like Danny was back then and did something he shouldn't have done at the villa, right?"
"You're so smart that you can even figure that out. You should understand that since I chose to break up, it means I cannot accept my partner's betrayal. I suggest you save your breath if you want to persuade me to be forgiving."
Narissa knew what Ariel was going to say. It would probably be something like no one was perfect or everyone made mistakes. She had already said those things to herself, but it didn't work. Some things were destined to be unchangeable.
Ariel opened her mouth to say something but then seemed to remember something and suddenly brightened up. She smiled self-deprecatingly and fell silent.
Narissa usually gave the impression of being carefree and reckless. She did whatever she wanted. This gave Ariel the impression that Narissa would be helpless regarding relationship problems.
But now it seemed that Narissa was much more decisive than she had imagined.
Ariel intended to assist Narissa based on her own experiences and help the woman understand her heart. But since the latter had already thought it through, Ariel knew there was no need to bring up her own experiences.
She chose to accept it, while Narissa decided not to. Everyone had their own choices, and respecting each other's decisions was the best form of understanding.
Seeing that Ariel had stopped talking, Narissa quickly apologized, knowing her tone had been unfriendly earlier. "I'm sorry. I wasn't angry at you."
"It's okay." Ariel covered Narissa's hand with hers. "If you can think it through, I am happy for you instead."
"Why? Aren't you here to speak up for Jamie?"
"Says who?" Ariel smiled. "I am Jamie's good friend, but I am also your friend. If breaking up can make you feel better, I shouldn't force you to follow my thinking. Silly girl, this is your life. No matter your decision, it won't affect our relationship."
Narissa felt warmth bubble within her and she murmured, "Thank you."
"Forget about that." Ariel looked away and said worriedly, "I wonder when Jamie will get better."
