I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 159

Harrison hesitated for a moment before opening the file right in front of Miles.

Instantly, his eyes widened in shock.

"How did you get this?"

Miles took a step back, looking at Harrison with a profound calmness. It was as if he were deliberately putting physical distance between them, silently confirming a harsh reality.

They could never go back to the way they were.

Whatever warmth they once shared had completely evaporated the moment they laid their cards on the table.

"I know you've always wanted the Southside Development Deed. Consider this my gift to you. I originally planned to give it to you on your birthday, but it looks like we won't make it to then."

Hearing Miles say that, Harrison momentarily froze.

He could see the unwavering resolve in Miles's eyes. Suddenly, the document in his hands felt incredibly heavy.

"You're serious."

Harrison asked one final time.

He needed to hear the answer straight from Miles's mouth.

Under his intense gaze, Miles suddenly looked down and let out a soft chuckle, as if finding the question ridiculous. When he looked back up, the smile remained on his lips.

"I don't want to give up anymore."

He had let go before, restrained by far too many complications.

Now, if he didn't at least try, he knew he would be left with a lifetime of regret.

Having gotten his answer, Harrison stopped pressing. Instead, he asked calmly, "You like Lyra, but have you ever considered how she views the man she's treated as a brother for years?"

Thud—

The sound of something heavy hitting the floor echoed from the hallway.

Miles and Harrison exchanged a sharp glance before simultaneously turning toward the door.

A second later, they both strode out.

They opened the door, but the hallway was completely empty.

Just as Miles was frowning in confusion, Eleanor's voice drifted up from the staircase.
