Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 53

Seeing Sylvia's image appear on the phone screen, I could hardly contain my excitement. After all these days, I finally got to see her again.

Sylvia couldn't hide her excitement as well. But she covered her mouth, put on a serious expression, and scolded me.

"Hudson, after all this time, you finally decided to call me. I thought you'd forgotten you had a girlfriend."

Hearing that, I felt helpless and somehow misunderstood.

Not only did I remember I had a girlfriend, I had also been reminding myself practically every second of it. No matter what Selena said or how she tried to tempt me, I couldn't bring myself to give in.

Sometimes, though, I wonder. If I hadn't met Sylvia, if I hadn't agreed to be with her, how would things between Selena and me be now?

"Hudson, let's get back together. I promise, from now on, I'll only love you. Trust me."

Selena's words weighed heavily on my heart.

Perhaps sensing that my mood was down, Sylvia put away her stern look and gently asked, "Hudson, when can you come back to Carzonia?"

"Well, I… I don't know yet. We are short of staff right now. I'm the leader of this project, so there's so much to handle that I…" I was too embarrassed to continue lying because I genuinely didn't know when I would be able to return.

Selena's condition was unpredictable. I didn't know how she was progressing either. Judging by the way things were going, it seemed they wouldn't let me leave anytime soon.

"All right, fine, keep working on your project. It's not like I have to have you by my side. I'm young, after all. I can wait for you to come back." But as she said this, she started tearing up.
