His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 484

"Please have a seat," Anthony smiled at Lisa warmly, as he watched her take the seat opposite him.

Lisa took a small bite of her steamed egg custard and remarked in a regretful tone,"After I return to America, it'll be hard to find delicious Chinese food."

Anthony asked in shock as his eyes opened wide,"Did you really resign today?"

"Oh, yeah I did," Lisa replied blankly. Lisa was a girl of her word. Now that she had decided to leave, she was determined to get everything in order to leave as soon as possible. So after she reached the hospital this morning, she headed straight to the dean's office and handed in her resignation.

"The dean agreed to handle my resignation procedures soon after he knew that I needed to go back. Probably things will be settled in a week," Lisa stated.

"So soon? I thought it was going to take a month." Anthony froze in thought, 'This time when she leaves she'll leave here forever. I might never see her again.'

"I don't think it's fast really. If it were up to me, I'd finish the procedures tomorrow itself," Lisa replied with a downcast expression, as she adorned a faint smile. She soon changed the subject and continued,"My family and friends were so excited and happy when they heard that I was coming back soon. If you ever come to America, please do drop by and visit me. I'll be more than happy to see you there."

"Okay, I will surely. If you ever come back here, I'll be glad to meet you as well," Anthony reciprocated in a rather flat tone.

With a polite smile, Lisa said to Anthony,"To be honest, I don't think I'll come back here. I have many miserable memories here. If I return, I might find it difficult to live it all over again."

She glanced at Anthony and said,"I'm full now. I gotta go finish some documentation."

Since that lunch, Anthony didn't meet Lisa again at the hospital. It seemed like Lisa was dodging him deliberately.

On the day Lisa finished her exiting procedures, she invited Autumn to dine out. Autumn gladly agreed expecting to hear news about the development between Lisa and Anthony. But to her amazement, Lisa told her that she had booked her air ticket and was leaving the country soon.

"Why did you make this decision all of a sudden? What happened since I last met you for things to have gone down in a drastically different direction?" Autumn asked as her brows were raised with confusion.

"I had considered leaving for a long time. So, it wasn't a rash decision. The circumstances here are not in my favor," Lisa replied with a wide smile. "Now that Anthony doesn't like me, I have no reason to continue to stay here. I think leaving is the best decision for both of us. I can move on without badgering him to date me"

"But..." Autumn frowned. "How are you dealing with leaving him behind like this?"

"I have no choice. If I got even one sign from him about wanting this relationship, I would have dedicated my heart and soul into rekindling our fire, but it does not seem like he wants us with the same intensity I do," Lisa replied with a bitter smile. "He loves someone else. No matter how hard I try, I will never get him back. I can see that my love for him has become a burden for him which is anchoring him down. So I must leave him. I don't want to leave a bad impression on him."

Autumn wrinkled her forehead into a frown, not knowing how to comfort her.

'I don't want to see Lisa leave. If she leaves, Anthony will never find a girl who loves him as much as Lisa does.

She is a good girl, why doesn't he like her? What kind of girl does he want to date?' she wondered.

Staring at Autumn's scowling face, Lisa poked fun with a smile,"Come on! I'm the one with a broken heart. Why do you look sadder than me?"

Autumn remained silent.
