I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 224

That included his utter silence over the past month.

After saying her piece, Lyra prepared to step around Miles and leave.

But just as she reached his side, Miles grabbed her wrist, blocking her path.

"Lyra, I will explain all of this to you clearly one day, but I mean it. I'm not asking you to change your mind right now, just give me a chance."

"Give you what chance?" Lyra let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I have no desire to date anyone, and I don't plan to. I might never want to get married in this lifetime, so don't waste your time on me. We are destined to go nowhere."

As Lyra said this, she quietly clenched her fists.

For no other reason than the fact that when she said they had no chance, she didn't just mean romantically.

The once celebrated Lennox siblings were a thing of the past; they couldn't make it to the future.

Lyra lowered her head, gently pried his fingers off her wrist, and immediately took a step back.

"It's getting late. I'm heading out."

This time, Miles stayed where he was, not following her.

He didn't snap back to reality until her figure had completely vanished. Staring at his empty hand, a heavy weight sank in his chest.

He stood there for a moment before recovering his usual composure, his eyes sharp and focused once again.

Then, he turned and headed toward the entrance.

Before he could even open the door, Ezekiel Gardner pushed it open from the other side and stepped out.

In the split second their eyes met, Miles caught the clear frustration in Ezekiel's gaze.
