Filthy rich werewolves by Taylor Caine novel Chapter 209

“But no matter how much my qualifications grow, I still can’t catch your eye, right?” he asked.

In an instant, it seemed that something had been stuffed into Grace’s mouth.

Gus gave a self-deprecating laugh immediately after. “Actually, before you said those things, I had already thought of changing my job. After all, working in the Sanitation Service Center, you can predict the rest of your life with just one look. I want to take the chance while I’m still not yet 30 to give myself more of a challenge.”

A challenge? If the Grace from before had been given a choice of an unknown life full of challenges or a steady one that could be fully predicted with just one glance, she was afraid she would have chosen the former.

Only after experiencing so many things did she know that stability was actually the most important.

Grace took a deep breath and said, “Actually, what I said to you that day, you really don’t have to mind it too much. I only didn’t want you to spend more time on me. I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you at all, so there’s no way I can be with you.”

She paused, then enunciated every single word clearly, “If I truly love you, then even if you are at rock-bottom, I will still choose to be with you. But since I don’t, even if you soar above the ranks, I still won’t be with you.”

Despair flashed across Gus’s face before he smiled. “Is that so? When you put it that way, it’s really as I thought… I didn’t peg you wrong. I knew it. How can the person I like be so materialistic?”

“Then are you still quitting?” Grace did not want him to lose his stable job because of her.

“Going out into the world to try and make my mark is a wish I always had,” Gus said earnestly. His expression had no anger whatsoever. “No matter whether or not I can succeed in the future, at least I won’t have any regrets in this life, right?”

Seeing Gus’s determined expression, Grace knew there would not be any use talking to him anymore, so she said, “In that case… I wish you success.”

“Thank you!” he said.

When Grace was about to leave, Gus said, “Grace, you’re a good woman. It’s my misfortune that I can’t make you like me. I don’t need any of your guilt either. My resignation has nothing to do with you. It’s just my hope that I can provide a better life for the person I love in the future.”
