Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 39

I felt embarrassed by the realization that I was crying, so I quickly wiped my tears away.

Seeing me like this, Selena finally sighed in relief. She untied her harness and came over to take my hand. "Since you're so scared, let's skip the bungee jump. We can do something else instead."

According to the policy of the amusement park, the bungee jump fee wouldn't be refunded since I backed out halfway. The staff tried to persuade Selena to go through with it, but she shook her head firmly.

I noticed her lingering gaze on the people preparing to jump, and a twinge of guilt struck me. "If you really want to do it, I can go with you," I offered.

But looking up at the platform, I hesitated and self-deprecatingly said, "I'll just watch from the side. It won't take long. You'll be back up in no time, right?"

We stood at the bottom, watching as people leaped off the platform, swinging through the air before being slowly reeled back in.

While it looked exhilarating, I still found it terrifying. What if the rope snapped or loosened in the middle? Just thinking about it sent a shiver down my spine. I shook my head, trying to rid myself of these dark, anxious thoughts.

As she observed the jumpers, she pulled out her phone to take a picture, zoomed in, then quickly deleted it.

Suddenly, she turned to me and asked a very strange question."Hudson, if I really died, how would you feel? Would you be sad? Would you regret divorcing me? Would you wish you had cherished our time together more?"

I was taken aback by the weight of her sudden questions. I frowned, sensing something was off, but I didn't know how to respond.
