I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 110

"You should head inside. You don't want to miss your flight."

He nudged the suitcase toward her.

"Go on. Be safe. Text Mom and Dad when you land so they don't worry."

The deflection was incredibly obvious, and Lyra caught it instantly.

Whatever. Pushing him now would only result in more cryptic answers.

"Alright, fine."

She took the handle of her suitcase and turned toward the security gates.

But after two steps, she stopped and looked back at him.

"Miles, if it's too exhausting, you should find someone else to love. You're incredible, and if a girl is turning you down, it just means her heart belongs somewhere else. Loving someone who doesn't love you back is a nightmare. Sometimes it's better to just let go."

As a woman who had lived it, she was speaking from bitter experience.

With that, Lyra turned and disappeared into the bustling terminal.

Miles stood frozen in place, his eyes locked onto the spot where she had vanished.

Long after she was gone, a self-deprecating smirk touched his lips.

"I'm not letting go."

In the past, he had stepped aside and let the woman he loved marry another man.

He refused to be a coward this time.

Every move he made from now on was a carefully woven web.

Lyra breezed through security and headed straight for the First Class lounge to wait.

When it was time, she strolled toward the boarding gate.

As she walked past the long queue for Economy, she caught a glimpse of someone desperately trying to avoid her gaze out of her peripheral vision.

Maxwell.

And right next to him was Aria.

They had clearly spotted her a mile away.

Likely paralyzed by humiliation, they were pretending she didn't exist.
