Chapter 441 Let’s Break Up
“In this past half year, I have been sincere towards you, and I know that you have been too. I can feel it. But the situation with Mia made me realize that love alone is not enough between us. There are too many insurmountable obstacles between you and me. The prejudice of your family towards me, your responsibility towards Mia, they suffocate me. I thought I could withstand it, and it would pass, but I discovered that I am not as strong as I imagined.” As she said this, she laughed at herself, her gaze becoming somewhat distant. The image of confronting Mia at the door flashed before her eyes. “When my father collapsed, I felt hatred in my heart.”
Hatred.
When that word entered Huston’s ears, it became terrifyingly heavy.
Huston looked at her familiar eyes, which were no longer clear but seemed to be burning with anger. She also looked back at him and spoke clearly, word by word, “I hate Mia, and I hate you too.”
Evelyn hated everything that had caused the outbreak of Ben’s illness. She hated his distrust and his protection
Her grievances and tolerance were nothing, but her family was an inviolable bottom line for her. She couldn’t tolerate anyone causing harm to her family.
Huston just watched her, listening to the words coming from the woman he loved the most, expressing her hatred towards him. No one knew what he was thinking, not even himself. He felt lost, only sensing a deep pain in his heart. It started off subtle, but after a while, it felt like his heart was being forcefully torn apart, causing intense agony.
“I know you resent me,” Huston said. Unable to restrain himself, he reached out to open the drawer to grab a cigarette but then remembered that Evelyn had a fever, so he withdrew his hand. He nervously tapped the desk a few times. “I made mistakes in this matter, and I promise it won’t happen again. It was unexpected for Mia to come back that day, and Brad didn’t inform me. I have already dismissed him. You know the rest of the story; by the time I rushed back, it was already too late. I feel deeply guilty in my heart. Her life was in danger when she fell into the water, and time was running out. I didn’t deliberately neglect you. It’s just that your actions have left me feeling cold.”
From the beginning to the end, Evelyn had admitted that she
had pushed Mia into the water, so Huston’s heart still had a lingering unease.
No one would know the truth if Evelyn didn’t explain, so it was reasonable for Huston to misunderstand.
Why didn’t she explain when it could have been easily clarified?
Maybe because, besides the truth of the matter, Evelyn cared more about Huston’s attitude. It might sound contradictory, but she just wanted to see if this man would believe her without any evidence.
It turned out that he wouldn’t.
Therefore, there was no need to explain. It would hurt her feelings if she explained too much.
Evelyn swallowed all her bitterness and disappointment, trying to appear rational and indifferent. “Since things have escalated to this point, let’s break up. I can’t pretend that nothing happened, and I can’t coexist with Mia in the same space. My parents were right; no woman can accept such a
situation. I was blind before.”
Now that she thought about what had happened before, she
